Crossing The Equator - 穿越赤道
Day 7
Today, we're crossing the equator to get to the other side of the earth. There was a commemoration of crossing the equator in Palm Court. The crew even dressed in costumes and performed the rite of passage. We don’t know the background of the commemoration but it was very funny and entertaining.
We had a kitchen tour in the afternoon. The kitchen is huge and clean. There are about 35 people working in the kitchen at a time.
Crystal Cruise typically has small scale shows like stand up comedy, "Magicians At Sea", and a piano solo concert. The shows are high quality. Some of the artists are even Grammy nominated! We've enjoyed the shows very much.
The ship was definitely rocking back and forth. Our last motion sickness patch was days old and expired. One of us did feel a little motion sickness this morning and skipped yoga class.
As we approached the equator late morning, the weather cleared up. The temperature was about 70 degrees. We did a few rounds of walking on Deck 7.
We went to the sushi bar yesterday. The sushi bar doesn’t require a reservation but is counted as a specialty restaurant. For regular cruisers, there is a two visit limit per segment per person. But as world cruisers, there is no limitation. The sushi and sashimi were very delicious. We ordered special Tora sushi.
