I'm the one who will give up my chair if I'm going to be in the pool! I watch all those others who leave the one poor person there to guard the chairs and never use them all day long...........amazing! I feel sorry for the pool police too.......How bout video cameras!!!! Maybe then they won't hog if there's proof of non-use! LOL Tho a little bigger pool area would be great too since the ships are getting bigger and better......SIGH What to do,

What to do! Maybe a $2.00 fee would not be bad..................IMHO to.

I miss the pups when I go too! I know the rest of the family is O.K. LOL

What a sad end to a beautiful ship. The first time I sailed on her I was 12 yrs old. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. The wood work and interiors lovely.Tho the tourist class cabin spartan. During the return trip(early September) from Athens (Pireaus) we took the TA northern route of rough seas and yes even some small icebergs to Halifax. Thru the rough seas they strung up rope encased in heavy maroon velvet covers for the passengers to hold for balance in all the passage ways. And this always amazed me at dinner the tables had wood edges they could raise up and inch to give the table a lip on it so the beautiful china and silver (yes sterling) did not slide off the table in the rough seas. Being a young girl in 1962 my steward was so kind to me being seasick and did nice things for me and brought me up for weak tea and dry toast in the study area where they had teas and goodies. It is what hooked me on cruisng. From that young age on,I begged my parents to only to send me to Greece via ship LOL. To visit family and go to camp. Please continue with the stories I love them!!!!! Where would I find the book you metion??She certainly had a long life. Was well kept in the 1960's,tho I saw her only thru the romantic eyes of a teenager. Last year on the Jewel of the Seas out of Boston i met a man from R.I. who immigrated to America as a young man (16yrs) with his parents from Naples,Italy the same date I was sailing on her home from Greece now that truly is a small world!

Would your mother like a luggage tag (it is blank,I mean not written on).I guess I was a collector at that age too LOL.From the s/s Q F ? I have just found my "scrapbook from my first cruise a TA from Boston to Athens and then back, a TA from Athens to N.Y.C. I was 12 yrs old and sent to camp over there. I have a luggage tag and a menu(In English, Greek and Italian) and a daily program I would be happy to give your mother. The only thing I ask could I have a copy of the deck plans you have??? Let me know I would be happy to GIVE these items to her. Thanks Capecoddah

As a teenager ( Not when dinosaurs roamed the earth,LOL) my parents sent me to Greece to camp for two summers in the mid sixties each time I cruised on the Queen Fredrika, with the Greek Priest and his wife who took 100+ kids over to camp outside of Athens. "The Queen" was a beautiful ship, all who worked on her were great to us kids/brats..LOL... In my life boat one year was Tony Perkins of Psycho fame................the food amazing,the afternoon teas elegant, the cabins bare bones w/the baths down the hall. The priest and his wife had a suite and it was ala Metro Goldwyn Mayer huge and just like out of a movie!!!!!! No stabilizers on her and a bit rough coming back in late August thru the Northern Atlantic. The halls,and community passages threaded with maroon velvet rope overhead, to grab for balance. The tables with a lip on the edge so the elegant china and silver did not slide off.The menus beautiful in their art work.Won the twist contest LOL........Just the most beautiful experience and what made me want to do more as an adult........great memories................TTFN Capecoddah
