UncleInci Posted January 23, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2008 We just returned from the Ecstasy and Captain Scala is by far the best captain I've encountered in the Carnival fleet. I never realized how much the captain of the ship could influence the cruise experience (though in hindsight if seems rather obvious). It was amazing how frequently you would see him and his senior staff around the ship. And his cigars under the stars party was an unexpected treat. I can't wait to sail with him again!

You may want to edit your spelling, "by fart " :) glad you had a good time. We really liked our Miracle Captain last summer, very personable and seen all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePosse Posted January 23, 2008 #9 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I too enjoyed Mr Scala (and his wife, who is the chief purser) on our Alaska cruise on the Spirit back in 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinggartk Posted January 23, 2008 #10 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I too enjoyed Mr Scala I don't mean to bash...but I am sure he worked quite hard to acheive the rank of Captain...Out of respect for that acheivement, I think he should be referred to as "Captain Scala".;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Name game Posted January 23, 2008 #11 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Such a stressful day here, thank you so much for the giggle.

Would love to see a review of your trip. Also, will you be posting any pictures or capers or anything? Glad to hear it was a wonderful trip, looking forward to my own trip in May.

LHP Posted January 23, 2008 #15 Share Posted January 23, 2008 We have sailed with him as well and he is very nice. However, my favorite is Captain Volpi. He just thrills the "ladies" as he strolls through the dining room at lunch greeting the guests...asking how everything is. He is such a sweetheart!
