November of 1969 I believe. She headed to Newport News after her 400th crossing for her annual refit. Halfway through the Refit she was laid up, first in Norfolk, in 1992 she went to Turkey, and in 1997 she came back to Philadelphia, where she sits at Pier 82
I must ask, what do you remember about the trip? How was the service, anything really stick out?
I have always dreamed that as a hotel ship, she would have the feel of her past life as an Atlantic liner, hopefully we can find a buyer for her. I know my pal Alex (the lead member of my group) had an interested party 6 months ago or so, thats all I can say however about that
