Happy Neptune Day!

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.      Confucius

 

                This morning we were all woken up at 7am but a large marching band of crew members, marching down the hallway and getting everyone out of bed. We then ate breakfast and went to the 7th deck pool to await King Triton and his friends to begin the ceremony that would transform us “pollywogs” into “shellbacks”! To prove we were worthy of receiving this title we had to A) Shave our head B) get a fishy concoction dumped on our heads. I chose the fishy concoction which smelled horrid. Me and 5 friends of mine stood in the kiddie pool and got drenched in the fishy stuff and then we all got to jump into the pool to wash it off. We leave the pool and kiss the fish (so gross haha) and then King Neptune’s ring J

                A good chunk of girls did actually shave their heads. Those brave souls.
