I've been on one longer cruise in Alaska when I was eleven. I don't think I'll get on another one. :/

The SS Monterey was originally built by the Bethlehem Shipbuilders, at Sparrow’s Point, Maryland.

They were specifically designed to be fast and reliable freighters and were ordered by the U.S. Maritime Administration. Here are their general details: The Monterey commenced as the “SS Free State Mariner” - hull number 4507 and she was launched on May 29, 1952 and was delivered later that year.

SS Mariposa and the Monterey accommodated just 365 in a luxurious all First class, what can only be called for the 1950s, a superior grade of accommodations regardless of the stateroom you would have booked. Wild the glamorous Lanai Suites has separate bedroom and thus with full sized twin beds, there was also a spacious lounge and a large bathroom, the Deluxe Stateroom and all other Staterooms also had private facilities, but each featured comfortable sofas that would convert into a very comfortable bed at night.
