This page shows interior and engine room photos by Fabrizio Di Fraia of the ex-Transvaal Castle. Fabrizio worked as an Engineering Cadet and 3rd Engineer on Festivale from 1990-1991. The pictures below were taken at Freeport, Bahamas, in 2003, shortly before IslandBreeze (as she had become) left for the breakers (4th June 2003. Fabrizio was 1st Engineer on Carnival Triumph at this time. My thanks to Fabrizio for allowing me to share these images with everyone.
 
Fabrizio is interested in receiving emails from other crew members of Festivale: fdifraia@yahoo.it
