My wife doesn’t drink alcohol. Is there a package, other than the non-alcoholic, for just sofas. Coke, Coke Zero and the like. $32.99 a day seems a little steep.

 

There is a non-alcohol beverage package, that's it. Nothing for soda only.

Here's the track

1. What is not to be missed in our pre-cruise visit to Reykjavík? Restaurants? Attractions? We're active, fairly fit and in good health.

A swim in the heated pools. I went to Laugardalslaug to ward off jet lag and it was such a fun experience, then I wolfed down a hotdog from Pylsuvagninn Laugardal out front after.

Sandholt bakery is fantastic too.

I was able to log in on the app and the website this morning, finally, after resetting my password to what it already was yesterday.

I reset my password on desktop to the same password it used to be and was able to log in fine. Mobile app (Android) still doesn't work though.

Same issue as everyone else, both last night and this morning. It's saying my password is incorrect which is... incorrect. I use a password manager, it's defintely the password that worked before.

Captain Kate's daily ship vlog is up and covers this.

I can get hot water and my handy travel grinder will make short work of what I need for my AeroPress. There will be good coffee on this cruise! 🙂

I'm planning on asking for a kettle as well, but past CC searches give mixed signals on whether kettles are available on North America cruises. I found some people having success, and others being told there aren't any.

Even if you brought the AeroPress wouldn't you have to also bring a hand burr grinder?

Yes. You say that as if it's an issue 😅 If you are a coffee snob's coffee snob you have a travel hand burr grinder.

I'm looking for folks who enjoy a pour-over, a V60, an Americano, an AeroPress and especially people who grind beans fresh before they make a coffee (Coffee Nerds Unite!) ... how's the coffee on the Apex? 

I'm planning on bringing beans, my portable V60, and some filters for my first Celebrity cruise. I'm sure I'll be able to find hot water somewhere.

Portable V60s (you can find them for camping) are so easy to pack and use compared to an Aeropress and you get delicious coffee anywhere you can find hot water.

They've been running the sale since at least before Black Friday. there is a slight variation in how much additional off per cabin, and there's a specific pattern to it given the day of the week although I don't recall the pattern.

Yes, I get that. I am asking about dining packages and specialty dining reservations (SD).

This is what I get for reading cruise critic before having my morning coffee 🤦‍♂️

The Apex is an Edge-class ship so the MDR reservations are meaningless. It's anytime dining, any reservation you make in the app beforehand doesn't actually do anything.

This thread will probably be helpful:

Excellent information!  Thank you...I'm on it!  I think DT is more our vibe.  Will look into the options posted by @Ferry_Watcher as well.

I like staying at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Seattle. If you have Chase reward points you can transfer them to Hyatt and do a points booking for quite good value. It's reasonable walking distance from Link light rail as well which you can use to get to downtown from the airport.

Well this thread just saved me a ton of confusion and disappointment on my first ever Celebrity cruise this summer. I'd made four ressies in the app already 😅
