Ravenscroft Posted July 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2011 We have now booked the FLL-SCL voyage on Silver Spirit that departs on the 10th January. I was wondering if any of you would know who will be taking over from Captain Corsaro, after he departs Spirit for the 2012 World Cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duct tape Posted July 14, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Probably SanGiacomo. He is usually the relief for Corsaro. Nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenscroft Posted July 14, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Thank you! Is SanGiacomo the SS Captain who has a reputation for being terribly handsome? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman The Cat Posted July 14, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Thank you! Is SanGiacomo the SS Captain who has a reputation for being terribly handsome? ;) Hmmmmm...you can judge for yourself. If you go to the Silversea website, and click on Venetian Society at the top of the page, the photo that shows 5 people toasting with champagne in Monte Carlo features SanGiacomo, I believe. Nice guy and great Captain. http://www.silversea.com/venetian-society/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinPashmina Posted July 14, 2011 #5 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I bet Capt. Arma will take over on the Spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenscroft Posted July 17, 2011 Author #6 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Just to update, we have changed our plans and are no longer taking this cruise. We will be sailing with Silversea at some point in early 2012 but we had to cancel this cruise in January due to business commitments. If anyone reading does take this cruise I'd be interested to hear all about it - I'd be very keen to do it or similar at some point in the future.

dougburns Posted July 18, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Apparently, they are adjusting officer schedules right now. Asked Capt Corsaro and he didn't know for sure. He will move to Whisper on 6 Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isklaar Posted July 20, 2011 #8 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Apparently, they are adjusting officer schedules right now. Asked Capt Corsaro and he didn't know for sure. He will move to Whisper on 6 Jan. So is Capt Corsaro still on the Spirit for the holiday cruise 20 December FLL-FLL, we are likely going to make a reservation on this one, or will be having some vacation time then prior to joining the Whisper?

dougburns Posted July 20, 2011 #9 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I would assume that he will be aboard for the Spirit holiday cruise. I will have more of a chance to talk to him when we board on 21 Oct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougburns Posted July 28, 2011 #10 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Just had an e-mail from Captain Corsaro this morning informing me that he would not be our skipper for the Oct/Nov cruise on Spirit. What a disappointment! At least he did let us know. Apparently they have now finished juggling the captain schedules. Captain Corsaro will now go on a 10 week vacation starting mid Aug. After that he will go for a short contract aboard Silver Wind before going to Whisper for the entire WC in Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emtbsam Posted July 28, 2011 #11 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Did he say who would be on the Spirit when he gets off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougburns Posted July 28, 2011 #12 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I'm waiting to hear back from him on that issue. What a bummer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duct tape Posted July 28, 2011 #13 Share Posted July 28, 2011 It will be terrific to have Capt Corsaro on the Wind in December, even for a short time. Haven't seen him in ages and look forward to it! Can you give us any other info on the other Captains? Thanx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougburns Posted July 30, 2011 #14 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Heard from Capt. Corsaro this morning and the captain for the Oct/Nov period is Sangiacomo. I would imagine that he will still be aboard thru Dec. Haven't cruised with him before, so I don't have any comment except to say that we're really disappointed that Corsaro won't be the captain.

Hi Doug, We've cruised with Captain Sangiacomo before--I believe we were on the Shadow (but don't hold me to the Shadow due to the all-inclusive wine). He is an excellent captain, though certainly not as outgoing and friendly as Captain Corsaro, who is a whole other league. Sangiacomo is featured on the Silversea website, on the Venetian Society page, toasting with guests in Monte Carlo. He is the Captain that found the proverbial "needle in a haystack" --i.e., the passenger that jumped at about 3am a year or so ago. He is a serious dude (which is of course what you want in a Captain) so make sure you are on deck during port docking to see how meticulous he is. Doug, he is not like Corsaro, but if anyone can bring him out of his shell it will be you! Best to you and Lynne. xxoxx :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug, do you think we'll have Corsaro on the Spirit on our Dec. 11 cruise this year? Can I twist you and Miss Lynn's arms to join us? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug, any idea who the staff captain will be? We quite like Salvatore. Are they a regular team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanjar Posted July 31, 2011 #19 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I know that this thread is about the Spirit and the charismatic Captain Corsaro, but does anyone happen to know who the Captain will be on the Whisper leaving Barbados on the 30th of October? Cruise Director? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougburns Posted July 31, 2011 #20 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Captain Corsaro will go to the Wind in Oct after his vacation and will be there until he moves to Whisper in Jan for the WC. Captain Sangiacomo will be the Spirit captain thru the end of the year as I understand it. Regarding Whisper Oct timeframe crew, you can have your TA check with SS in FLL and they can tell you. SS FLL has told our TA that they won't have the crew roster for our Spirit Oct/Nov cruise until the first of Sep. I got the info on Sangiacomo from Captain Corsaro. Lisa; Lynn and I can't join you in Dec, because we are doing a 1 week Disney Mexican Riviera cruise with our son and family in Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
