Those cruising folk from Hicksville

Maybe there is something significant in the fact that Cruising the World in High Style, by John and Naomi Loux, is published in Hicksville, NY.

John and Naomi are simple American folk who’d never been on a cruise before they embarked on a 9 3-days voyage on a Swedish luxury liner from New Y ork. He compiled his diary of their experiences, the only difference between it and a million other trip-diaries being the fact that they managed to have it published.

Nothing is too trivial to be mentioned (for their first luncheon on board they chose thin slices of tender beej sauted with onions, grape cocktail, cream of broccoli soup, iceberg salad and cheesecake); John was determined not to be trapped into any cocktail clique (very sensible); and Naomi was so affected by the wonder of it alt she sometimes burst into verse: Look at that blue sky; Look at that blue sea.

As such, it s a wonder shipowners don't try to have it suppressed.
