Captain John Scott was the Captain of the Eurodam. The Eurodam is the ship that we sailed on around the Caribbean and across the Atlantic Ocean. We saw the Captain walking around the ship and many times we saw him at the Explorers Cafe getting a cup of coffee. Whenever he saw me he would say “how is my sophisticated 9 year old today”. On the day before we arrived in Barcelona we saw the Captain having breakfast at the Lido Market. I asked if I could interview him and he said yes. He took us to the bridge and showed me all of the equipment used to run the ship. Then I interviewed him.
