Eastbound Transatlantic 25 April 1949

This is another of a selected series of text transcripts of the “Daily Programme of Events” issued whilst Caronia was at sea. This page combines the First & Cabin class programmes on an Eastbound transatlantic crossing.

Both classes are shown on the same page to make it easier for visitors to make comparisons between them. Of note is that Cabin Class passengers are informed of the clock change times that day, whereas no mention of this is made on the First Class programme .
