This guy has been doing an AMA from the Diamond Princess to the quarantine camp in Texas. He was one of the first out on a 747 to Texas. I think he has a few pics of the interior in his AMA (in part 2):

...he broadcasts from 1930. It's something for people who don't wear suspenders.

Oh shoot. I didn't mean to paste the whole AMA here. Just wantes to link it. Sorry to destroy the thread like that.

Meh, I just read the whole thing. That was fascinating.

After the roasty-toast, though, I feel obliged to say that I *heart* the fact that you used the proper article "an". We're still not holding hands in the shower, but that's the Right Way. *non-fedora hat-tip*.

If you drove a manual, you would know.

Oh, so it’s also antiquated and no longer matters?

It’s what’s in with the kids these days so.

It’s antiquated, for sure, but - damn - I love driving a stick. Of course, I’m old, too, but what are ya’ gonna’ do? Time passes ...

What’s an AMA?

Ask Me Anything. When someone in an interesting situation or story goes on Reddit and answers questions.

If I can’t swing a balcony on a cruise, I’m not going on a cruise! Ha!

Having breakfast on my balcony with my robe on is a required part of my cruise experience.

Thank you for wearing a robe

American Medical Association. That other (web site) AMA is their learning web site where they learn to toe the line.

You can have my shifter when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

 

[Roger Roger]

Whatever y’all. I can’t wait for one-pedal driving in a three row BEV family hauler.

Jesus Christ. Honestly I don't care. Shouldn't have gone on a cruise. Boats are a cesspool of disease. If you want to travel around as the worst type of tourist, this is what you might have to deal with.

Thank you for volunteering for the front row in my uhm. Family picture. Smile, and wait for the flash.

Hey, I’m not saying YOU can’t keep your flintstone mobile, Neanderthal. I’ll enjoy my 21st century tech when I can (assuming in 5-10 years any of us plebes can afford to/are allowed to own anything).

I don‘t enjoy driving at all. Hate it. Can’t wait until my no-transmission-at-al Tesla is self-driving me everywhere.

Yeah... me too. Like, a curve road in the mountains with a nice car, sure that can be "fun."

Driving around town from day to day? Bring on the automatic pilot please.

I went from a 65 mile workday round trip to MAYBE 60 miles a month these days of retirement. I absolutely LOVE having nowhere to go but the grocery store and occasional dinner out Bella and Bruno are fond of the schedule, too!
