On the Baltic’s – aboard the “Crown Princess”

Thro Colombo and a two day stint in Paris, we, an eager group, finally arrived at Copenhagen to behold our vessel for the next ten days – the Crown Princess. To say that she stood tall would be an understatement, 19 floors above the water and apparently 60 Meters below – 1500 State rooms and a crew of 1600, of mixed nationalities but common reactions.

A quick tour around brought me to the conclusion – it is the Sky walkers Night Club and the Wheel house bar that is where I am meant to be. The crowd @ the Sky walker’s was usually thin, owing to hectic in land traveling during the day and also due to the above ‘swinging’ age of the average passenger(not that they were not ‘swinging’ in their minds, hearts and souls!!!
The Wheel House was albeit different, the crowd swelling from near thin on the first night to being talked about as the ‘in’ bar on the Ship, may she always sail in pride. That was largely due to the courtesy of the staff there, from pretty Katerina (Kathy) of Macedonia to the handsome gentleman from Goa, India.
But the best was yet to be seen. The Tempo Quatro- Christian on his Roland drums, Doru on his Borg keys, and Marian and the irresistible Monica crooning away late into the night all that strikes your heart, a Hindi Cha Cha Cha included for their ‘Indian Friend’, which she down loaded just to play for us/ Me???. – They made my trip ‘SUPER SWELL’!!! – I am flying in to Romania – that is their country, Bucharest awaits me!!!
