My first cruise was on the smaller Statendam (of 1957) in 1978, in an inside cabin, NYC to Bermuda, and return. I was a solo, paying $700, when the rate was $350 per person. Funny how I remember that figure to this day, when I can't recall the exact price of any other cruise I have taken. 

 

Interesting, I didn't know the history (build date/age) of the Statendam, though at almost 4 years old in 1966 - I can't say I remember much about it. Let alone what the cost was (TA). I believe the Peace Corps footed the bill. I wish I had asked my father more about it!
