2007 ABA Cruise Highlights
ABA Boppers Cruise Thru Ballroom Blitz!
Passengers aboard the Star Princess were in for a real treat on Wednesday and Thursday nights of cruise week when the crew hosted the Ballroom Blitz...fun filled dancing sessions. The highlight was a dance competition that began on Tuesday night and culminated on Thursday night with the Grand Final Showcase that determined “Who will be the new Fred and Ginger of the Star Princess?” The competition was open to all 2600+ passengers but our very own ABA boppers stood out from the crowd and captured all six finalist positions. Virginia and Jim Stanton from the Little Rock Bop Club won the dance contest in the end.

Congratulations to all of you!
