Holland America Line sailing to the Caribbean from New York in the 1970's. It was after 1972, because the World Trade Center appears as they're sailing into NY Harbor. My grandparents took annual cruises in the 70's and my grandfather chronicled some of them with his 8mm film camera. These movies are all that remain of those trips. This was their first cruise.
It is interesting to see how small the cruise ships were back then and how the primary activity was sitting around and socializing instead of cruise line run activities.
WOW, that was great...and so many empty sunbeds!! not like that nowadays and the shots of the Statue of Liberty look so eerie. Thanks for posting
