Rare EngIceDave Posted November 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Does Carnival or any cruise line typically do anything special when you cross the international date line or equator? You know, forced to get tattoos while drinking whole bottles of rum? Some King Neptune party? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne G. Posted November 10, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 10, 2022 On a Norwegian Star cruise in 2002, we could purchase a certificate signed by the caption noting that we had crossed the international date line on the way to Fanning Island. It's something of a conversation piece when others notice it hanging in my house. Thankfully, no tattoos or entire bottles of rum were involved! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocolate melting cake Posted November 11, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 11, 2022 We were onboard the Carnival Spirit, 2012 transpacific to Australia. They held a traditional "court" when we crossed the equator. The Captain and several officers held a trial for volunteer passengers. The passengers were doused with garbage, hosed off and all of us "pollywogs" were thereby upgraded to shellbacks. The next day we were all presented certificates! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
