The decks are decked out in bunting, the morris dancing troupe are ringing their bells next to the coconut shy and the pool has been transformed into a village pond, complete with ducks. It can only mean one thing – the Village Fete is in full swing. This is without doubt one of the most popular events of every Page and Moy cruise, with traditional games like hoopla and ‘guess the weight of the cake’, a fortune teller and an abundance of cucumber sandwiches and Pimms Lemonade. The highlight of it all is the famous Ocean Majesty Duck Race, where guests place their bets on one of mother duck Delilah’s adorable themed ducklings and watch in anticipation as they make their way to the other side of the pond (encouraged by a few paddle-wielding crew members). Our excuse for all this silliness? It’s all to raise money for our favourite charity while at sea – the RNLI. More about them tomorrow…
