RMS Caronia Timeline: Virtual World Cruise 1951

Services on Board RMS Caronia

Of course, once aboard your new luxury home, one important aspect was a guide to all the services that were offered on board. With seemingly miles of corridors and so many decks, getting to know where places were, and their opening times, was essential. Usually, the first issue of the “Cruise News” would come to your rescue, and the text of this page comes from that exact source.
