Thank you!!!!

Agreed. At least we have lounge access to while away the time. Could not have gotten business class w/o EZAir

I’ll bet that’s it. United slashing flights everywhere

This October — about 90 days.

Woke up yesterday to the dreaded “change to your flexible air booking” email. Fingers crossed it was a minimal change. No such luck. Original (last year) had a four hour layover on our return flights. A few months back it changed to a five hour. Now it’s a seven hour! Okay, enough, I thought. Went to airline website to find an alternative I planned to beg for. There were none! No other flights past noon from EWR to CLT. Unless we wanted to arrive the next day! It’s a two hour flight! So now the plan is to continue to watch and see if they add an earlier flight I can beg for. And if not, thank God we will have access to the fancy Polaris lounge at EWR. Will grab a sleeping pod upon arrival……

Thanks so much and yes of course pricing will make the decision yay or nay

It’s hard to plan when you have to wait for the itineraries to be announced that day. I’m sure somebody on here has access to them before hand. Want to share?

My Princess CVP was able to book our desired reserve mini when all that showed online were guarantees

Use a TA or a Princess CVP

Thanks for allowing us to tag along. Especially enjoyed your port pictures and the many “heads’ up” you shared. We did so enjoy meeting you and Iain and thoroughly loved the Apex design and amenities. But we will be returning to Princess for our next two and may try another transatlantic with them as well. Being elite with them and advance booking to score the stateroom type we love makes it a no brainer (price being lower doesn’t hurt). We anxiously await their new ships and have already booked one for ‘24. Hope they can match the beautiful style, design, and modernity of the Apex!

Shocked today as I printed out our travel summary for our October cruise as all excursions now booked. Lo and behold ticket numbers for United were right there in the summary. Never seen this before final payment and early ticketing request. Shocking.

here’s to you Iian! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Again … so nice to have met you both on the Apex. Will live vicariously as you continue onward. (Our next cruise not until October ☹️)

Sorry Monday night next time I’ll post before

I love how they publish the menus. Jumped down to Blu for prime rib tonight.

Thanks so much for posting this — we are never in a spot to hear his remarks 😊

Thanks for much! Our first Celebrity…. So no contacts. Will see Yuksel as you recommended today.

Walked out of Luminae tonight. Sat there from 5:30 till 6:35 and other than the amuse bouche , rolls, and appetizers, we were served NOTHING. Sommelier did top off the wine. THST WAS IT. Grabbed a supervisor who announced entrees would be right out. Waited another fifteen minutes. NOTHING. Except that the all the folks around us — some who came in well after 6 pm — had been served their entrees. I can hardly wait for the surveys. NEVER (in over 15 cruises) did we experience anything like this on Princess. Inexplicable and unacceptable.

Good luck we got an extra table (aka ottoman) but still refusal on lounger SS

Had a great time “running into” Jim and Iain at lunch (yeah, we actually cold-conked them…. but whatever…Jim is a fellow detective fiction nut so he understands) So very nice to chat for awhile!! Blog on, guys! 💕

And we’re down the way in 206. Following your posts with great interest.

Wow! Prices went up but not as bad as I thought between Sky and Sun Thank you do much!

Hard to make plans/choices w/o prices for sure

Onesourcecruises.com has pricing if anyone has access

Awesome……so many thanks!
