The Pacific remains peaceful and we crossed into southern latitudes at 10:30 yesterday morning. We will cross it again 3 more times; on our way north from Bali, when we on our way from Sri Lanka towards Seychelles and finally, on our way from Luanda towards Gambia. It is the latter crossing which sees us performing the ‘crossing the line’ ceremony.
We do however have some children on board, some are guest’s children and others are Staff’s children and it was yesterday that these were subject to Neptune’s judgement before being accepted into his realm. Mums and Dads, Grandmas and Grandpas attended, as did I.

Judgement and crimes are read
..and they wait in trepidation, their punishment about to be administered..they look far too happy…
….by, no less, than their parents!
Kiss the fish, kiss the fish!

We absolutely loved the ship, captain and crew on our Alaska cruise on the MS Amsterdam in August ’17. Thanks for the pics of the ship. They remind us of our fantastic journey.
