A sea day with a difference: Our ship was transformed into a British Celebration with the wedding day of Will and Kate. Early morning began with a briefing on the Royals followed by a switch to BBC coverage on big screens. British High Tea and cookies were served with the showroom decorated with British flags and regalia. Perhaps 300 passengers attended, of the 2 billion that watched worldwide. We really are a speck in the sea. Our evening continues with a formal Royal Dance and a Beatles “name that tune event”. If it wasn’t for the Boston Tea Party, our fellow excited American passengers could have had a better chance at being invited to the wedding.
Separately, Carnival Corporation is rarely mentioned as the parent of Holland America, but today there is a celebration onboard of the company’s 100th ship. Today 227,000 passengers on those 100 ships will eat cupcakes and drink free champagne for the record-breaking largest “toast at sea”. Hooray for freebies. Time to follow Carnival stock.
