So using your reasoning horse races in the other Australian states, which are run counterclockwise, are run clockwise from our point of view,

And then there's Germany, which last I checked is in the Northern Hemisphere, where many horse races are run clockwise. 

& in the UK.

How often do you check?

Spotted a passenger I had not seen before walking the deck this morning.

Does the dog run around the deck clockwise?

Our get together yesterday was a success. Was glad to meet many people!  
 

Jim and myself (Maureen) did the martini tasting. Who knew they have a Thanksgiving martini!! Need to put the Turkey in the oven first.

We cancelled our 6:30 reservation for Manifredi tonight in case anyone wants to grab it.   We are planning to enjoy the Lobster in the main dining room instead 🙂

OMG. I never knew it was only a one way situation.  Crap, we have probably done that too.   Oops  😬 

I'm sure I walked counter clockwise on the Viking Sea in 2019 -- maybe the one-way thing is due to Covid precautions -- like in some grocery stores.  Never let anybody be face to face!

Probably you were. Track and field events are run counterclockwise.

I like to run clockwise, just in case the Buddhists are correct, so I’m glad they have it clockwise,

Many people were walking in the wrong direction still today.

[Bookworm114]

Noon announcement included comment that the direction is clockwise. This is the same as on the Sea in November.

I just canceled my reservation at Chef's Table at 8:00 tonight if anyone else would like it.

If it had been in the afternoon, I would definitely have done the martini tasting!  I had too much dinner wine in me to even attempt it last night!  Did you have to sign up for it?

I read it yesterday morning in the Viking daily and call customer service to book. Apparently at 7:30 am it was full and was put on a waiting list. Received a call someone canceled and we went. It was good but only 12 people in Toshvan. 

[albertamom]

OOPS!!!!!  🤣🤣🤣🤣
 

How was YOUR lobster night??? 

[albertamom]

I’m about to cancel The Chef’s Table for 2 at 6:30, if anyone would like to grab it.

I’m going to try and swap our 8 o’clock reservation for your 630!

Has anyone done the crossing the equator ceremony before?   We have an explorer done show from 3 to 3:45.  Should we try to move it to attend the ceremony?

I haven’t but having seen the dome shows, I would rather do something I can only do once and hope I can make a reservation on a later date for the dome.

Here's a blog post about the equator ceremony--we had one on one of our TA crossings.

Agree.  Attend the ceremony and rebook the dome show.  We attended the Blue Nose ceremony to commemorate crossing the Arctic Circle.  It was a fun & special event.
