How glad I was to find this. Many Many thanks. I was a musician on the Caronia

in 1963. For a whole year I cruised including a three month world cruise and got

paid for it how good was that ! Cunard (and Captain Marr) were great to work for.

We dined with the officers, freely mixed with the passengers.We had free access

to any unused seats on tour excursions. I have many happy memories, photos

and cine film for my old age !

Too bad ships don't look like this anymore, when ships were ships, now, we get floating apartment blocks, although I'd cruise on one of the new ships anyway.

fate time of the caroniz is 1974. Thanks for sharing this advertorial or we can say motion picture. İ think if you watch this, there is no need to travel these cities. You better feel at home.

Thank you so much for posting this! Such an amazing historical snapshot. Also highly nostalgia inducing. Interesting that passengers made the return voyage to NY on a different Cunarder.
