YES oh YES. I always liked cruising and had been on many ships. Then Ken and I married and the Fairwind was the first ship that Ken and I went on together. I loved that ship and that line. It made a cruise monster out of Ken. The beautiful decks etc. True "ladies" is so well put. The food was truly incredible and the buffets they had in the kitchen do you remember those? How about the white glove afternoon teas in the forward lounge. Those were the days.

Wonderful line, old ships even then, but who cared. I always make the connection between Sitmars, Fairwind and Fairsky and the Song of Flower. Both older ships without all the walk in closets etc but a certain charm and style you cant match with the new ships. This is the type of thing that cannot be put into words so others who have not experienced the grace of these ships can understand.

Then again some sailed on Sitmar and the Song and called them "old tubs". We are certainly all different.
