Hello All
Hello my name is Louis I was a crewmember from July 1990 to August 1992 (then i worked on another ship) and from April 1993 to August 1998. I started as deck steward up on heli deck with Dennis,Keith and a girl from sweden cant remember her name.Then i became a PRS until October 1992.In April 1993 i returned to QE2 again as PRS.By September 1993 i became restaurant Barkeeper,working behind the scenes so therefore no contact to passengers.End of 1994 i was one of the few crews member onboard that made the transatlantic from New York to Hamburg for the refit.Ship sailed with no paxs but a skelton crew and contactors.Onboard i also meet Anja she was a waitress in the Princess griil she worked for 5 years today we are married with 2 wonderfull kids.I have lots of good memories though somedays were bad.But overhaul it was the best time of my life.the only thing i try and not remember is the night from 10 to 11 September 1995 when we hit Hurricane Luis.My cabin was 419 on 4 deck forward staboard,there was water all over. that is it for now i hope to post more topics. regards Louis.

Hi Louise, Gutten Tag, eine [zwei, drei............] bier bitte! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
Yup, after having lived in Germany for 10 + years that's the only German I know. Where in Germany do you hail from? Welcome to the board - I'd love to hear some of your stories from when you worked on the great ship. Any amusing anecdotes you can relate? Out of interest what do you do now? Oh, and eine kaiser brochen bitte. (I used to send my daughters along to the local bakery for 4 cheese rolls every morning - the best cheese rolls I have ever tasted). Anyway, please post some of your stories - would love to hear them. Cheers Penny |
