Day 14 - At sea (Friday)

Something is seriously wrong with this ship. We just had what I can only describe as a mechanical "jackhammering" earthquake lasting almost 3 minutes. The floors, walls, everything were vibrating/reverberating while giving off this sound. Then as fast as it started it stops, then kinda comes back, then stops, then louder/more intense shaking for a few seconds, then stops and it's gone. Seriously, WTF.

On a lighter side, the crew does a fantastic job entertaining those aboard. Today we're going through the equator and there is a initiation staff must go through at their first time on this route. First up, Entertainment staff.

Entertainment staff newbies
Poseidon and his sea court

Everyone survived, standing behind the next round of items


Officers got the same treatment plus a little more.
Some of the new junior officers
Also the egg bath


... plus a flower bath

Now it's the turn of new members of the wheel house.

A member of the sea kingdom
Must share a kiss with a sea creature

A whole pallet of eggs for them

Who doesn't love pasta
Can't have pasta without sauce
Made the mistake of opening eyes while receiving a saucing

Hungry anyone?

Once the Poseidon was appeased he and his seas court returned to the water to conclude the right of passage.


Nighttime on the ship consists of changing singers or changing comics. No Broadway shows here. Some aren't so good, some are pretty good. Overall an enjoyable night.
Theater for shows
Singer belting out various hits
Activities Director about to begin Dance-Moves Trivial Pursuit

Points are given to people who know obscure dance moves that go along with the song
You can also get them for the most people on the dance floor doing the move everyone knows (YMCA)
11:30pm - Even the old folks stayed up late to keep the party going
