NEPTUNE DAY!

NEPTUNE DAY! This is a celebration that takes place on the ship every voyage when you cross the equator.  We woke up to Neptune’s court playing instruments banging walls doors and drums out in the hall way to wake us all up.  During this ceremony, we go from being a "pollywog" to a "shellback."  We had to get fish guts poured on us, then jump in the pool, kiss a fish, then kiss the rings of Queen Minerva and King Neptune and an optional shaving of your head.  Jess actually shaved her head and so did her cousin! I thought they were crazy!
