I think the year was 1976...our first cruise, and it was on Sitmar. We didn't know it then but that was to set the stage for almost 30 years of cruising. What we remember most about that cruise was the pasta...every night a differnt sauce, and each one better than the night before.
Also, as we walked down the hallway towards our cabin, without fail, someone on staff would run ahead of us and open the door with a big smile.
Thanks Cap't Tom for jarring the ol'memory.
