Notes
- Except for the 1949 Caribbean Cruises it should be noted that most of these figures include the Cruise Staff, Entertainers and Priests, which account for 18 up to 24 people counted on each cruise
- As a one-class cruise ship the two restaurants together had seating capacity for about 580 people
- It follows that uniquely on the Caribbean Cruises there were often two sittings in either one or both restaurants
