There wasn’t a stop on the deck with the bowling alley??
Nah it was a choice between a bowling alley and a MickeyD LOL.
Lot's of changes. When I was in while we were on a MED Cruise if you wanted to call home it was a 2-6 hour wait at the USO or phone company once we hit a port. I did manages to call home from a phone booth in Vience though in 1979. My cousin was in for Gulf War Two on the Washington I think. He could call home from ship in the crews lounge and send e-mails at sea. The only way we could call home from the ship at sea was via HAM Radio and usually emergencies involving a death in family etc.
