...compared with the regular tourist-class minimum fare of $282, a student aged 16 to 24 can buy one-way passage to or from a dozen European ports. The line's four floating palazzi stop at some out-of-the-way places, including Tenerife, Palermo, Palma de Majorca and Algeciras, as well as at Lisbon, Cannes, Naples and Genoa.

...star-crossed lovers meet and love and find their fate in the ugly shadow of suspicion that divides their kindred. Unhappily, the literary parallel, though it lends the piece a certain spurious redolence of tradition, proves a pathetic fallacy. Shakespeare's lovers seem silly in the gilded palazzi of romantic old Verona; in the rancid tenements of unremitting megalopolis, West Side Story's lovers seem simply unreal and finally uninteresting...
