Yes, I agree, one of the most beautiful liners. I was on board her when this picture was taken. A most enjoyable cruise.

Nice shot.... I believe she was also the Mardi Gras when I saw her back in 1982 in Florida while I was boarding the Carnivale

person

Totally agree! Nothing so gorgeous as the old passenger-ships.
Possibly the cargo -liners!
