Boarding the Costa Romantica
|
Before we left Rolla, Judy managed to snag a Baltic cruise on the Costa Romantica out of Amsterdam. The ship was smaller than many of our Caribbean cruise ships so we were surprised to find ourselves in a cabin that was actually larger than our hotel room with a lot more storage. The food was good and included the usual buffet with assorted restaurants around the ship. Coffee was scarce and only available at breakfast so I began hoarding instant coffee packets. No ice tea at all so Judy was out of luck until she discovered that hot tea and ice worked just as well. Entertainment included a piano/cello duet, Gordio (an Italian piano player singing rock songs), and a couple of guitarists from South America who were very good. Other than the crew, we were some of the few English speakers aboard. A comedy act one night was a lost cause! We missed the theater
shows on other cruises but the lounge music was great and we got along just fine. Unlike other cruises we were able to see coastlines often and saw LOTS of other ships - mainly cargo vessels. The Baltic is a busy place.
