Veryoldsalt Posted June 1, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2009 This may sound silly, but I'm an old Shellback from my Navy days; my wife is a Pollywog. Does Princess have a Crossing the Line ceremony on its cruises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druke I Posted June 1, 2009 #2 Share Posted June 1, 2009 We've crossed the Line at least two times with Princess, and there have been ceremonies, with King Neptune, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Princess have a Crossing the Line ceremony on its cruises? Yes, Princess has a fun ceremony whenever a ship crosses the Equator. You get a certificate signed by the Captain attesting to the crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted June 1, 2009 #6 Share Posted June 1, 2009 We did a B2B crossing the equator on Princess some time ago. One leg, yes, we had the Neptune Ceremony in all it's glory, the other leg, nope, just what they called Equator olympics. I enquired about it and was told that the cruise director picks the type of entertainment for the crossing ceremony. Maybe they learned their lesson now and always do the King Neptune thing for the pollywogs, as I know there were many disappointed passengers on the leg they didn't provide it.

We did the b2b to Manaus in Feb & March. They did the Neptune Ceremony both ways. I think about 200 of the 650 on the ship were on a b2b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poulsbo Cruisers Posted June 1, 2009 #8 Share Posted June 1, 2009 We crossed the equator on the Tahitian Princess. There was a ceremony and certificates; however, the ceremony didn't happen as we crossed the line. This was because we crossed the line at night and the ceremony was held the next day.

Pam in CA Posted June 2, 2009 #11 Share Posted June 2, 2009 This may sound silly, but I'm an old Shellback from my Navy days; my wife is a Pollywog. Does Princess have a Crossing the Line ceremony on its cruises?Yes, they do although it might not be at the exact time you actually cross the Equator (which could be the middle of the night.) Whether you participate in the ceremony or not, you get a certificate. I've crossed the Equator several times; we even crossed twice on one cruise.
