Chance would have been a fine, fine thing, although I prefer my ladies
sober............

Was so busy last week with a hectic excursion programme (plus a couple
of repatriations on medical grounds) that I had little time to think
about hrumpty-tumpty, despite the fact that there were some absolutely
gorgeous women working on the ship!

Maybe next time.

Can't have been the same crew :-(((

Have you worked as an entertainer on cruise ships?

No - but on some (depending on the clientele) I do a cabaret turn on
the last night. Some risqué jokes, get 'em singing along to a Billy
Connolly song, that sort of thing. Didn't do that on the last cruise,
though (for classical music fans) as I'd have probably been about as
popular as a pork chop in Jerusalem.

I haven't seen the kind of TV coverage this year as in previous
years, so the little blurb in this morning's paper about flooding in
southern Europe caught me by surprise.

We're heading off on a Uniworld Amsterdam-Vienna cruise soon, and
while we seem to be headed out of the immediately affected area, does
anybody have current info, or a source for it?

Of course there's nothing we can do about it, but maybe it will take
our minds off of worrying whether Northwest Airlines will actually
get us there.


I worked on a Danube cruise last week (Passau - Melk - Esztergom -
Budapest - Bratislava - Vienna - Dürnstein - Passau).

The ship was due to cruise this week from Passau via the Main - Donau
Canal and the River Main to the Rhine.

Just this minute spoken to a colleague who tells me the ship is stuck
at Deggendorf, as the water level is exceptionally high and it cannot
get under the bridge there.

I had that happen to me a few years ago on the Danube. Fortunately the
tour company had a reciprocal cruise that was stuck on the other side of
the bridge. The tours switched boats.
