I'm not sure the Captain is on the hook.

The captain ordered the ship steered waaaaay off course to "showboat" Isola del Giglio for the chief waiter, whose family lives on the island. "Can you see me waving at you, Mamma?"

If that wasn't enough, the captain abandoned ship and refused direct orders from the coast guard to return to the ship while thousands of passengers and crew were still trying to evacuate. Remember the old adage, "the captain goes down with the ship?"

The ship's captain will be taking a long walk off a short plank soon enough.
