Another sea day, which finds us doing our norm: gym, breakfast in Blu, lecture with Celia on corals, lecture with Gary on the American Plague (Yellow fever) then lunch and finally the equator crossing ceremonies up on deck. Yes, we actually spent time up on the pool deck!
We manage to grab some good seats at the Mast bar, where we can see the stage pretty well, and settle in with our wine and beer for the festivities. Of course, first there is the Kiss the Fish ceremony with 2 huge Tunas that they must have bought in Ecuador specifically for the ceremony. The line is huge and it takes the better part of 45 minutes to get everyone through. Then they switch up the program from the typical show of Neptune, the doctor, nurse and spaghetti thrown over your head to look like blood and guts, to pool games with the guests versus the staff. Its fun and funny, they have to do water ballet and then race a raft across the pool. Alejandro get’s thrown into the pool in his suit and merriment reigns for an hour or so, which is a nice diversion.
Then we are back to the gym, to drinks, dinner, a lousy show (honestly, the performers are fantastic, but the material is just awful, disjointed and makes no sense at all).
Back to the cabin, nightcap and bed.
