He sounds positively
Palinesque or Edwardsian, or perhaps just enough of a Moron/Cad to be a hybrid of both:
...the captain, Francesco Schettino, who reprehensibly, but also hilariously, escaped in a lifeboat before any of the passengers. (He was, to add to the picture, "covered by a blanket.") Even worse (better), he was seen that evening "drinking in the bar with a beautiful woman on his arm," and apparently brought the ship miles off course (and close to the rocky coast of Giglio) in order "to greet [a] friend on shore." ("There shouldn't have been such a rock," he told local TV.)

But, alas, Leslie Nielsen and Peter Graves, Robert Stack and Barbara Billingsley are no longer available.
the hate boat. boy, he screams newtonian hyper self involvement.
tho, those passengers are a bit like shamus.
"This is your captain speaking... do not rush for the lifeboats ... women, children, Red Indians, spacemen and a sort of idealized version of complete Renaissance Men first!"
The one positive thing I can see coming from this is that the captain of the Exxon Valdez now has someone he can look down on.
Waterworld II
If those passengers had ever heard jokes about the Italian Navy, they never would have got on that ship.
