A storeroom containing boxes of Tetley's tea bags and Kellogg's Frosties stacked on pallets to keep them off the floor, onboard 'Iberia' (1954).

A large quantity of tea-bags and popular cereals highlight the preference many passengers had for British foodstuffs over local fare. Cruise-ship catering was done on a very large scale. During her first ten-day cruise, the 'Oriana' took over 70 tons of meat on board at Auckland.
