Our tender ticket is 18. They said it would take about an hour for that number to be called. We're still waiting.
Didn't I see you say you're Elite with Celebrity? If so, you should be able to get tender priority...

I love your LIVES and am so excited to follow along! Thank you for taking the time to do it!

When we were on Apex in August I spoke with the man in charge of ordering everything (forget his title), during the Senior Officer Event in the Retreat Lounge. I specifically asked about Opulence, since it's my favorite. He said he had been told that Celebrity no longer has a contract with Grgich Hills and so they are just using up the supplies they have on hand...

Your experience sounds pretty good so far - that's encouraging!

2 o’clock in the morning here, and once again, the toilet began overflowing onto the floor. We called the front desk and they sent a plumber up to look at it for a minute and then he disappeared. They didn’t tell us what they were or were not going to do to address the problem, but after we flushed it many times, once again, it stopped overflowing.
We then got a phone call from the front desk, and a fellow with a heavy Indian accent started yelling at us, telling us that we need to tell the customer to clean the toilet. I didn’t know what the hell he was talking about, neither did my buddy, so I told him that I didn’t know what he meant and then he started really yelling and said I told you you need to tell the customer to clean the toilet! I then told him that I was the customer, and he apologized and said he called the wrong number.
Then, they sent housekeeping here, but they really was not anything to clean, because we stood there, pressing flush over and over again until the problems stopped. I told him that this wasn’t a housekeeping issue. It was a plumbing issue.
They forgot our chocolates tonight, which I didn’t mention, but I did mention that they only gave us one bath towel, and asked if he could rectify that, and he did.
I still don’t think this plumbing issue is resolved. I might have to call the assistant, housekeeping manager, Clyde, in the morning. It’s pretty annoying.

There is nothing more frustrating on vacation than when something goes wrong like this and they tell you it's your fault!

So excited to finally be able to follow another of your reviews, which I love! I'm really looking forward to following along on your cruise and to hear your very impartial observations for how Celebrity is doing. We were on Apex in August in a Celebrity Suite and we were already seeing signs of things to come...
Wish Jeremy a happy birthday and hope you have a wonderful vacation! Lisa

If you type Infinity in the Search function for Search a place, ship, season....it says -0- itineraries...

Thank you so much for doing this Live review - I look forward to following along! We were on the Reflection for an Iberian Peninsula cruise in 2019 and absolutely loved it!

Looking forward to following along! Thank you for doing the Live Report!

Looking forward to following along! We are supposed to do this the opposite direction, but like so many have mentioned, airfare has us thinking twice. Business class fares are astronomical!

We've sailed on M-, S-, and E-class ships. FWIW, we much prefer the S-class ships. I loved some of the new things about Apex in August, but many of the venues were extremely, uncomfortably crowded much of the time. So much so that we were unable to see shows in the Club, attend events in Eden, watch the band in the Martini Bar area, and even just sit and have a nice drink in the Retreat Lounge. I haven't watched the webinar yet, but it would have been interesting to hear if their new ships will address some of the overcrowding.

We were in Akureyri in August and our tour guide said they changed all their traffic lights to the hearts during Covid. They wanted to give everyone something to smile about and to remind us all to be kind to one another

Yes, but you can't book that ahead of time. I always book a 50 or 80 minute massage and then change it to nails once onboard.
Great! Thank you!

New to Viking - besides getting your hair done, can you get your nails done onboard?

I have to say I agree with ian441672 above. We were on Apex in August and were very disappointed in the Luminae experience. Most of the staff were wonderful and we felt the Sommelier was fantastic, but perhaps we were sadly a “favoured table”. However, it was crowded, loud, and the food was significantly underwhelming.

Thank you for another live review Jim! I hadn’t noticed it until page 8! I have been reading on the Viking forum lately as we, like you and many others, are going to be trying out other lines now. You put it very succinctly when you said “loyalty is a two way street”. We were on Apex in a CS in August and although the itinerary and staff were wonderful, we were very disillusioned by all the recent changes.
Are Grgich Hills wines gone?
