I feel so lucky that I got the chance to visit this Lady on my beloved island Bonaire. At the time I was 14. Mr. Roger Emtage invited me to come on board. He showed me every corner of the ship. Now I am almost 64. A near 50 year anniversary. I never ever forget that day. Thank you!!
I really enjoyed the video, learned quite a bit, a happy crew is a happy ship! As a boy (in the early 1970's) I built the Airfix model kit of "Canberra".
This came up on my feed today. Went on trans-Pacific trips San Francisco - Sydney when child in '50s and then tween in '60s on old P&O liners. While docked in Fiji on Oriana ('65 maybe?) I recall the beautiful white Canberra docked beside us. I might have wished I was on it instead but loved the Oriana with all its open decks my sisters and I ran all around on! My family's Tourist Class porthole cabin had bunkbeds and exposed sink and pipes - had a blast though! So much has changed. Now most decks are taken up by private balconies. Hadn't been on another journey/cruise since until '18 - another SF-Sydney tribute journey on Cunard Queen Elizabeth! So different with balcony and much better (excellent) food. Sure would have loved to taken Mom and Dad on '18 trip. Thank you for posting Ata Bilgili.
Great video thank you for posting it a look inside a time that is no more and the difference between a ocean liner and today's carnival cruises.
The first ship I ever sailed on in 1992 and I used to have this video. Finding this all these years later has given me goosebumps.
Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
My first ship,worked as shop staff for the farewell season 😊
