Another week, another cruise, this time on Princess Cruises' Crown Princess in the Baltic. It's a bit of déjà vu really as this is the ship on which P&O Cruises' Ventura was modelled and on which I cruised in July. One or two rooms are in different places, the speciality restaurants are different, things are charged in dollars and this ship has Movies under the Stars, but otherwise it's a home from home.
Tomorrow's Movie under the Stars is Narnia, which my daughter Ilana has already decided we'll watch. At 9.30pm. In the Baltic. I fear a sudden heatwave is out of the question so I've already earmarked my blankets. Lots of them!
I was thrilled to discover that our Captain is Andy Proctor, who married me (to my husband, that is) on Grand Princess back in 2004. That was in the Baltic too, on a day at sea sailing between Copenhagen and Stockholm, so it's quite a nostalgic trip for Ilana and I. Wonder if he'll remember me...?
