Jarronwood Posted January 20, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2016 On my upcoming cruise in March, I note that there is going to be a total solar eclipse whilst in Manila. It starts at 7.51 am to be precise. Do you think that the ship will have the special solar eclipse glasses? If not, is the ship likely to set something up for viewing? Second question, on the cruise we cross the equator although I am not sure at what precise time - will the ship do a special ceremony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveA Posted January 20, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Although there will be a total solar eclipse, it is unfortunately only partial in Manila and will not even be noticeable without some form of viewing aid. The area where the eclipse is total is further south, passing across southern Borneo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, they will. And be sure not to miss it. Will this be your first crossing? If so, you could play a role in the festivities.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been trying to work out roughly what time and day we will cross - but I guess it will be posted in the daily bulletin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be assured that Neptune will make a grand entrance and you will be forewarned of his arrival in plenty of time to participate in the activities.
