As we prepare to cross the Equator – a year ago I was straddling it on land in Quito Ecuador) – King Neptune and his entourage board the ship and after raiding the rum store sets about prosecuting the Captain and his officers for various heinous crimes – such as rolling people out of bed crossing the Bay of Biscay, painting guests whilst they are asleep on loungers and the like. The inevitable sentence is to “kiss a smelly fish” or King Neptune’s bride – a prickly affair since she hadn’t shaved for the occasion!! Of course everyone and I mean everyone lands up in the pool!! All good fun and one of the best ‘crossing the line’ events I have witnessed.
