Day 38 – Sea Day 2 of 3

Drink of the Day – Mariner Rita

For a day at sea this was a rather eventful day. We had picture perfect weather throughout the day which was perfect for sunning and playing.

In the afternoon, during the “Royal Caribbean International Film Festival”, Young Frankenstein was played in the large theater. After the show Cloris Leachman, who had the role of the Frau Blucher in the movie, came on stage and spoke and answered questions from the audience.

Later in the afternoon the ship once again attempted to cross the Equator into the Northern Hemisphere. During a ceremony on the pool deck, King Neptune appeared and demanded that certain crew and passengers be punished for their offenses by being smeared with whipped cream and tossed in the pool. He later demanded that the captain be brought to him and declared him guilty of serious charges. Captain Johnny was then covered with whipped cream and thrown into the pool. It was a cute ceremony and of course we were eventually given permission to cross the Equator.

The truth be told, while the ceremony was held at 5:00 PM, we really didn’t cross until later in the evening during dinner and show times.
