  1. Amazing how we differ in opinions: We never cruised the Carla but did cruise the Costa Riv in about 1986. It was a fun ship but a big disappointment after the Caribe. I think the most fun thing about Costa cruises is the Toga party the last night. What a blast!!! NMNita

     

    I cannot recall the date when we as a group.of young students cruised on the old Carla C".but I do distinctly recall our presentation..

    We called it the Carla C....BC...not too appreciated by the Program Director....

    We carried in one of our group on a lounge chair, wearing a reed crown from Grenada...and all of us of course, with borrowed bedsheets.

    I was the one who blew the couch shell, not very well, since it sounded like a bull moose with intestinal problems...:D...as I was the 'cruise director'...

    I've sailed many ships since, SS Norway, NCL, Princess, Windstar..

    But for some reason this cruise experience with Capt Aldo Nardini remains

    One of my most memorable.....

  2. I just by happenstance found this memory blog of the Carla C ....

    I recently found an 'award' scroll from Captain Aldo Nardini issued for our

    carnival Party presentation of...BC Carla C....

    We liberated some bed sheets and a lounger and as a group carried in

    One of our fellows as one would Cesar....complete with a head wreath from Grenada.

    I had the distinct pleasure of blowing a couch shell rather poorly, which

    Sounded more like a flatulant bull...to howls of laughter.

    Sorry to have just read that she is no longer....many good memories of her

    Even so many years later.
