Day 26 – Sea Day
Last night at 2:25 AM, we crossed the equator and our now back in the
Northern Hemisphere. I slept late still
not feeling very good and decided I would go down to the infirmary and see what
the ship’s doctor had to say. It was
very crowded with all the colds going around and he told me the number of colds is the worst he’s
seen in his fifteen years of being a ship’s doctor, in fact he had the cold
himself. He gave me some antibiotics
which I hope will do the trick, I am usually very healthy, but this trip I seem
to have caught a couple of things. At least
it hasn’t stopped from enjoying all the beautiful islands we’ve visited.

I rested for a while and then it was time for lunch and team
trivia for Val. I just laid on the bed
and dozed for a while, but started feeling better late in the afternoon so we
decided to go to the casino since we hadn’t gone the night before. I should have kept resting as we didn’t have
much luck. Tonight is a formal night,
but neither one of us feel like dressing up, so it's room service for us tonight.
One thing was disappointing today, was we missed the King Neptune Ceremony
where crew members who have never crossed the equator are initiated into the
order of “shellback”. We’ve already
crossed the equator once, but they only do the ceremony once per cruise, so since this was the day of our second crossing of the equator they had the ceremony
today. We both wanted to
attend as it is supposed to be a fun event, but unfortunately, I was sitting in
the doctor’s office. Next year we’ll be
crossing the equator again, so maybe we’ll get to see it then.
I did make it to dinner tonight, but it is a bit of an effort to eat when
you have no appetite. After dinner it
was back to the room, and to bed.
