[Rhodes22-list] Robert's Adriatic Cruise Practice Session

[Slim]

I lived in Baltimore in the early 80s when I was attending Peabody and I
loved it.  The Constellation was there at the time and I went aboard too.
The crew deck was only about four feet high so you had to crouch as you made
your way to your bunk.  Not exactly first class.
