Our friends Harry and Doris Steele will celebrate 40 years of cruising aboard Royal Caribbean ships this summer. Above is a picture of them aboard Royal Caribbean's first ship, Song of Norway, in 1972.
I just love the above hand written invitation to the Captain's Table and the typed menu. The invitations are now much more formal as are the menus. What a terrific piece of history!
I hope you can read the prices on the above cocktail menu! Cocktails are 85 cents. ;)
Thank you for the images, Doris, and for helping us walk down memory lane with you. We'll be back aboard Freedom of the Seas in the Fall to celebrate your 40 years of Royal Caribbean Cruising with you.
It is fun to realize that Song of Norway pictured above PLUS the next three Royal Caribbean ships would equal the gross tonnage of Freedom of the Seas pictured in the header at 160,000 tons.
Wow!

Amazing! That "old" ship looks like a toy compared to what they look like today!
What wonderful memories Harry and Doris have and lovely that she shared them with us. It's amazing how much the ships have grown over the years.
I LOVE, love, LOVE this!
That's just terrific! Wonderful memories, and I agree, I love the yesteryear photos.

Good morning,
Ah, yes, I loved seeing these images, too! Those first ships and all the wonderful things that went with them were fabulous.
Thank you, everyone, for stopping by and your great comments.
Very best,
