Creator's Key Takeaways

it was so nice to lay eyes on the ss britannis once again this time in a lineup of cruise ships at miami on a sweltering july afternoon in 1992.

i was amazed by how immaculate britannis looked she had come such a long way since my first cruise honor in 1981.

the part of the latter day britannis i will never be able to reconcile was the casino with its shocking faux art deco glitz.

boy was it wonderful to see this still beautifully functioning gadgetry in motion.
