I remember joining the Ulster Star in London in January 1968 as a first trip deck cadet. I was quite nervous going into dinner on the first evening but the two stewards were very friendly and put me at my ease.
Later that evening I went into the pantry to make myself a cup of tea before turning in, when I came across two ladies in black mini skirts, fishnet stockings and see through tops. Of course, I made myself out to be a senior hand as I flirted with them. However, I was put firmly in my place when one of them said, "You do not recognise us do you Mr Newton. We're the stewards who served you at dinner".
I've fond memories of those two "ladies" and I've never made the same mistake again in 40 years at sea.

Bye-the-bye, does anybody remember "Keyhole Kate" in Blue Star?
