This is amazing, I also travelled to Britain on this ship into Southampton in October 1964. I was 7 years old and sailed from Grenada, my memories are not as clear as yours Cordell & Hobbitfeet (I don’t remember the cinemas etc) but I do remember the amazing strange foods and delicious biscuits. I also remember clearly one of the stewards who did the wake up calls each day and called to mealtimes, he was a short bow legged man but I cannot remember his name. I often think back to this episode in my life and wish I could research more about this ship.
