Personal cabin steward. On board entertainment nightly. Swimming pool, deck games, bars and restaurants and even shops. Not on a grand scale but a rum and coke or brandy and dry tastes the same wherever you drink it.
I guess that you can’t count the several years of ‘cruising’ with the “Grey Funnel Line”. Warships don’t really count as ‘cruise ships’.

JB do you know if Stiling Castle lines were a kin to Union Castle Lines as the later was a South African Company, I went on two cruises back in the 60s on the SS Rena Del Mar, which was owned by Union Castle.
