My husband and I went on our first cruise on the Brittanis in 1984. It was a 4 day cruise from Providence, RI to Burmuda. We remember very rough seas, and the ship was rolling and pitching. The "comfort" bags were distributed around the ship before we even left Narragansett Bay.
Our room was very small, with bunk beds, and the shower ran either very hot or very cold! On the plus side, the crew was excellent, and the food was terrific. At the time, we were told that the Brittanis was the oldest cruise ship in the world.
On the way back to Providence , the ship went off course to pick up some injured crewmen from a commercial vessel.
It' been over 22 years since that cruise, but we still talk about it, and will never forget the Brittanis!
