Especially good if you forget toiletries and cannot bear to pay ships prices. Which is me. Does CC have a board that lists the port essential shopping options?? Our rule is if we forget essentials we wait until the next port. I really can’t bear to pay for a travel size listerine at the price we pay for full size bottles onboard. Amazon need to develop that drone delivery ASAP lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet that Amazon could cut a deal with cruise lines so that guests could order what they need on Amazon and arrange for a pallett delivery to the port and ship dock the day before cruise.starts. Imagine having an Amazon box or two waiting for you in your cabin. Would save on the weight of suitcases. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie North Posted January 10, 2022 #353 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Thank you for your virtual cruise! We sailed on Apex in December and it's fun to recognize parts of the ship that are our favorites! I even could pinpoint some of the restrooms you photographed....ha! Spent some time in Mont Blanc when hubby surprised me with a Beatles rollerball pen! Now we need to book the Apex for the British Isles cruise next year for a stop in Liverpool!! Appreciate all the info you are providing as well...dinner in Eden was one of the highlights of our trip...oh heck....everything was fabulous. PS I'm a big fan of the infinite veranda! Enjoy the rest of your journey! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you can send crew meme we stuff to their Miami address and they can pick up stuff when they go back to the home port but to expand that to the guests would be great but I think it would be a lot of unnecessary work for them.

Rare vickykay Posted January 10, 2022 #365 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Your photos are amazing! Thank you for taking the time. We are also on the Jan 29th sailing, somewhat undecided but holding off until near the 48 hour deadline to cancel. We may actually be safer on the ship than in Fl. May have to go just for the chocolate cream brûlée! Oh was the French day at lunch or dinner? Thanks, Vicky 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolabmom Posted January 10, 2022 #366 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Thank you so much for taking the time to post all these gorgeous photos and give us all this information.

Had a blast on the Summit Martini Bar, which was more of a large oval if I recall and had the ice top. We did a repo cruise from Bayonne to San Juan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between the premium and the classic is 12 bucks a day including gratuity. You could do it tomorrow and it will only cost you 48.00.

They had 5 different varieties of creme brulee made in front of you with the sugar and blow torch. They have a carrot creme brulee that Benny had earlier this week and I will have tonight at Eden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it will and I hope the capacity will be low for your sailing because it is a different experience. If you ask me would I prefer sailing 1/3 with a mask on while in transit (because when you are indoor on a cruise ship you are either eating or drinking ) and at theaters / activities with no drinking or eating or full jammed packed sailing, I gladly reach for that mask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
