    So Arison was owner of Continental lines then? I guess what has me confused is the Jamaica Queen leaflet is for 1967-68 & 69 and when we were on her it was Christmas of 1967 so I'm guessing shortly after we were on her she was repossessed and there never was a 1968 and 1969 season. Wow the poor Nili was really kind of doomed all of her very short 15 year life then. I have very fond memories of her I even won the scavenger hunt on the cruise and was the only one that found the cruse directors room key, I even went into her cabin! 😄 I remember getting lost one night I was only 10 at the time and I wound up on the closed and empty car deck in the pitch darkness and couldn't find my way out and ended up opening a hatch and ended up on a cat walk over the engine room walking just above the two HUGE green engines they had glass windows on some part of each of them and you could see motor oil splashing over the glass from the inside of the engine. I thought I was in HEAVEN!

    Later that night about 1am, we were up on the top deck by the funnel and there was a huge BANG! BANG! and everything went silent we drifted about 2 hours in fact a Cuban coast guard ship came out to see what was going on and why we we drifting for so long. We were told a fuel line broke and they had to make an emergency repair to get us going again and once in Kingston a repair crew was on board making permanent repairs.
