CROSSING THE EQUATOR
We’ve crossed the equator to the southern hemisphere in an airplane, but they make a big deal out of crossing on the ship--click on the picture to see the yellow line with the word EQUATOR on it to see exactly where it is!!
Looks boring (or what do you do when you are at sea for five full days)? We have not had time to be bored, but we don’t have to do anything fast. It’s a small ship, only 760 passengers and 11 floors (our room is on the 7th, dining is on the 5th, the pool is on the 9th, and the track is on the 10th--so we haven’t taken an elevator at all). We walk half an hour before breakfast, breakfast takes an hour, then line dancing (for me), or pool time, then Trivia at Sea, then lunch for an hour (not that we eat that much, but we usually have some good conversation). Then there are wine tastings, the casino, sitting on the deck to read (or take in some good sun), watching a movie, and then dinner (which is usually a two hour affair). We sit at a table for eight so there is always something to talk about, and we do enjoy our leisurely meal and dessert with a cup of coffee. After dinner is “showtime”, although on a small ship the theater is small and the “company” is made up of a band/orchestra of four, and eight singers and dancers. We’re usually back in our room by 10:30 or so, I guess we are just to worn out from our busy day to hit the clubs after hours!
