Ahhh FLAVIA!!! My first cruise also, June 1980 @ 10 years old...we had an outside cabin that slept 6....I remember looking out the porthole from my upper berth...having to crawl into the porthole housing because our cabin was at the front of the ship.
I still remember the swimming pool with the windows so you could look into the pool from the hallway.... and I also remember the Bahamian kids climbing the mooring ropes and jumping off the ship for nickles....
There was a waiter, Jon, that my parents had on the Federico C in 1973 that was on the Flavia...and when my parents spoke to him, even after all those years, he seemed to remember them....
I remember "racing" the Emerald Seas and Dolphin IV to Freeport.....and looking over the railing after dinner to see them throwing garbage bags overboard...yup, true!!!
I gave myself a personal tour of the bridge numerous times that cruise....the officers all knew me by name...hahaha...my parents were so proud :(
