Units, Multiples, and Ultra Brights - Oh My!

If you're a Gen X woman chances are you owned something by fashion designer Sandra Garratt in the '80s. Her UNITS brand (launched in 1979) and Multiples line (launched 1989) were wildly successful - and inspired many knock-offs. 

Units grew in popularity throughout the '80s - this ad was probably from the late '80s. 


Au Coton (launched in 1982) made their mark with their oversized pastel line and iconic logo.

After her legal woes with UNITS, Sandra Garratt launched a second line called Multiples that sold in high end department stores and targeted a more sophisticated audience.





Cabin Sales & Roommates

Looking to get on board the sold out 2024 '80s Cruise, or maybe find a roommate? There's a Facebook group for that: The 80s Cruise Cabin (re)sales & Roommates

ECP does not recognize private sales; all transactions must go directly through ECP. If someone needs to sell their cabin (and it isn't covered by insurance) they can simply call ECP and tell them to note their account that they are looking to sell. ECP will NOT help you sell your cabin; you will need to find a buyer. Once you've found someone interested in your cabin they can call ECP and give them your cabin info. They will see the account note and proceed with the transaction. You will receive a refund and they will pay the current cabin price that applies to them. Your discounts, dining time, and any seat reservations are not transferred with the cabin sale.

If a seller is interested in offering a discount (say, $1000 off) then ECP will withhold that amount from their refund and apply it to the buyer's price. There is a $500.00 transaction fee and the deadline is one week before sailing.
