Gotcha beat. I sailed on her in 1958 from Naples to NYC. I was about 11 at the time. I remember the FOOD more than anything else! <g>
Wow! You sure do have us beat! That ship must have been really something back then, and how lucky you were to be on a cruise ship in 1958 at age 11! Not many people had the opportunity to cruise then like they do now. We loved that ship and that cruise, and part of what made it special was knowing it had a lot of history and a lot of famous people had sailed on her. I hope you have made many more happy cruise memories since then. Cheryl

Wow - She was a really beautiful ship -- not in a glitzy way like today's ships, but more quietly elegant. I hope NCL uses her again. That was our teenage son's first cruise, and we had such a great time. Somehow we had our meals at the Captain's table (don't know how, because we had very inexpensive inside accommodations) with a fantastic family from New York, and we had such a great time. Cheryl

We went on her sister, the Independence, in August 2001. My husband and I were just saying last night that that was our favorite cruise. I'm not sure where they are now. :) -- Cheryl

Wow, Sidney! That trip sounds like it was a hoot! My family and I truly loved that ship. She was so very elegant in an understated sort of way -- Not flashy like today's ships. I can only imagine what she was like back then. It sounds like you made some great memories on that voyage.
