That's about when we took our first Cruise too. It was on the Enchanted Isle (later changed to Queen of Bermuda) out of New Orleans. The Cruise Line was the Commodore Cruise Line. It was a Cruise with the New Orleans Saints, and cost us $1700 for both of us. The Ship only carried 900 passengers. Those were the good ole days of Cruising. The Cruise Director would actually approach you and engage in conversations with you. Now if you see the Cruise Director, he is up on stage, then sneaks out the back door without any contact with the passengers.
The drink of the day would cost $5.00 if you wanted the souvenier glass (looked like a Hurricane glass from Pat O'Briens in the Quarter). Yep, those were the good ole days.
