LETTERS TO THE EDITORS CRUISE STATISTICS Sirs: Next year I'll be thinking about get- ting out of the Navy. However, I really enjoy the Med., and wonder approxi- mately how much it would cost me to make a cruise similar to the one we just took on my own. I would expect to travel tourist class, hit about the same ports and stay for the same length of time. A.B. Q To more accurately answer your question, we wrote to American Express and asked for costs of a tour exactly like we just had. Part of the answer is printed below. f'Off season passage tourist-class to Gibraltar . . . 8255.00 up. I feel that the approximate cost of arrangements, based on an economic basis, will be about S26 a day, for a six month trip. This includes second-class hotels, break- fast only and no sightseeing or shop- ping. So that comes to about 35190. But you might throw in 35250 . . . the average amount spent by the Med Sailor. Re- member these are rock-bottom prices. The average tourist would spend S7020 for this cruise. Also here are some other cruise sta- tistics that might interest you: Days at sea -- 7.7, days in port - 84, miles steamed 19,665, fuel used - 10,825,619 gallons, rounds expended: 8 - 77 rounds, 5 - 658 rounds, 3 - 1797 rounds, special request chits - 272, sea-sick pills used - 3600, APC's - 22,000, teeth filled - 742, teeth re- moved - 130, miles on vehicles, 92,- 000, total payroll - S678,112, food con- sumed - 362 tons 1603 lbs.!manJ, ice cream cups - 47,077, haircuts - 14,- This copy of belongs to Nome Address f 'SINCE THIS CRUISE Book WILL BE SEEN BY WIVE5 AND SWEETHEAZTS, WE'LL SAY I Fora THE eooo OF INTEI2-SEIzvIcE EELATIONSQ THAT THESE PICTURES - HAVE NDTHINE TO Do WITH WHAT HAPPENED DURING 'THE 1956 MEDITEKKAN - EAN TOUIZ OF GOOD OLD CA-I48!
