"Barbados Feb. 10th 12 noon. We really had a wonderful time on board. The first night out was a little rough, but we didnt miss a meal. We ate & drank to many calories! Met Mrs. Dalton from F.P. on board. Had a very nice time with her. The food at this hotel leaves a lot to be desired, but guess we'll get by! Seems to be a lot more tourists here this year The golf course was crowded this morning. Dorothy"
