Captain Schettino’s Trial

Captain Francesco Schettino was later tried for manslaughter for the deaths of the passengers aboard his ship. It turns out that the Captain was engaging in one of those forbidden on board relationships. This time it turns out he was in a relationship with an on board entertainer, a dancer named Domnica Cemortan.

Some said that it was her that distracted him the fateful night of the accident. She later revealed that the captain had apparently planned to flee the ship abandoning both the passengers and crew behind him by arranging for a helicopter to pick him up. In 2015, Captain Schettino was sentenced to sixteen years in prison and must deal with the shame of his cowardly act forever. While crew members take their jobs very seriously, this case certainly left passengers feeling uneasy.
