Today I left the M/S Victoria and it was a bittersweet goodbye. My stay there was made bearable because of the English Show cast of dancers and singers. We were all isolated as the only native English speakers on the boat and although the Estonians are nice enough it was still difficult to really connect because of cultural and language barriers. I’m really going to miss the The cast and I fear it’s going to be a bit lonely for me on this new boat.I embarked on the M/S Superfast IX in Tallinn and we head to Helsinki which is a hop skip and jump across the Gulf of Finnland and we dock here for a couple hours. Then, we take off for Rostock Germany as this is a 3 day cruise. Either way, I have a weird split up playing schedule and it’s going to be tough because this time I’m flat out THE ONLY NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKING PERSON on this ship. Plus, there is no stage per se. Basically i’m set up on the floor in this big lounge area in the front of the ship that has tables, chairs, a bar etc etc..you can see out the front through these big windows but the boat is a bit smaller then the last one.. The bitch about that is that it rocks back and forth and up and down a bit and I had to sit down and play for fear of losing my balance, and it wasn’t even rough per se. It’s going to be an interesting 12 days for certain.
Well hopefully the food will be a little more satisfying! Edible would be good!
Obviously you don’t know enough languages! I expect fluent German, Swedish, Estonian, Finnish and Danish. Did I leave anything out?
Well if the boat is gonna rock..You can just rock harder than the boat! And hopefully eat a bit better too! Think positive..and keep smilin!
