Caribe I

Miami, FL

Commodore's Caribe I leaving Miami on a 7-day cruise. The disproportionately small lattice-work funnel was a 1983 'innovation,' later replaced with a more traditional design.

Caribe I was built in 1953 as the Greek Liner Olympia. After twenty years of service the Greek Line failed, and she was idle from 1974-1981, when she was bought by Commodore. Following a two-year refit she re-entered cruise service in 1983. She sailed as Caribe I until 1993, when she was sold to Regal Cruises as Regal Empress. In 2004 she was transferred to Imperial Majesty, and at over 50 years old she sails on.

Thank you for posting this rare photo of MV Caribe 1. I remembered she docked at Port of Miami till 1993. I had the opportunity to visit her in Miami when you were still allowed by security to visit cruise ships on sailing day. I sailed on her twice once in 2005 and second time on 2006 under Imperial Majesty Cruise Line. I wanted to ask if it was ok to use this photo on my thru Facebook for a group called "Remember the Classic Liner"? Please let me know thank you in advance!
