I sure miss paper ticket packets and baggage tags. How exciting to receive them. A few cruise lines still do it. Viking. Disney. Regent come to mind and it’s still wonderful to receive them. Great memories 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted March 18, 2023 #77 Share Posted March 18, 2023 My grandparents also loved traveling on freighters. When we saw them off in San Francisco, I remember how large their en suite cabins were. What a surprise when I got on my own first cruise ship - the Chandris Fantasia, and the cabin was the size of a large closet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first cruise was as a 13 year old, traveling with my family as immigrants to Canada, im 1959. We sailed on De Groote Beer, a former WW II troop ship. It was amazing for us kids, But I wouldn’t give up cruising on HAL, regardless! The Groote Beer did become a HAL ship after her WWII service. DH made his first trip to Europe in the 1950's on a similar WWII troop ship The Waterman. Both featured in in the following article: https://www.shippingtandy.com/features/groote-beer-waterman-and-zuiderkruis/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
