Cruise lines can’t do this anymore! 🤫📕

Editorial Summary

The creator examines historical cruise passenger booklets that are no longer produced by modern cruise lines. Using a booklet from 1933 as a primary example, the video explains that these documents contained a complete list of every passenger on board. These lists specifically categorized individuals by their travel class, such as tourist class, which functioned similarly to third class. The creator notes that this practice of providing detailed passenger lists continued until 1970. While booklets from the 1970s remained common, they differed from earlier versions because they no longer separated passengers by class and instead provided a single continuous list. The video also highlights how certain instructions within these older booklets have become obsolete due to changes in maritime safety and design. For instance, older guides advised passengers to ask attendants before opening cabin portholes, a practice that is no longer permitted on modern ships. The creator concludes by questioning whether modern passengers would prefer to receive such information.
