We boarded the Queen Elizabeth just before 4:00 PM in San Francisco on Saturday, and sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge around 9:00 PM. We are on our way to Hawaii.
We were pleased to discover there is an Anglican (Church of England) communion service this morning. The priest was a woman, a fellow passenger, who was asked by the ship’s staff to conduct the service. Some of the guests complained that the Catholics had better support than Anglicans, so the staff recruited her. She will be with us until Sydney. Hopefully, they will find someone else after that. The service is much closer to the old 1928 prayer book, along with Cranmer’s prayer of humble access.
Since this is Super Bowl Sunday, they will try to show the game in the Royal Court Lounge, the ship’s theater. For us the game will start at 3:00 PM. That’s just as well, as we have our first formal evening with tuxes and evening dresses. Of course, out ability to see the game will all depend on the quality of the satellite connection.
