I’m on the Apex in 4 days and no menus for me (not sure if that’s the same cruise as mcat). There haven’t been any menus for a few weeks. I’ve even tried the current cruise and don’t see any menus. I was able to see them 2-3 weeks ago

We went on the Xploration 1/22. It was fantastic. The Xploration is a much smaller ship than the other two. There are only 8 guestrooms. We liked the more intimate ship. The food was a small buffet for every meal, nothing like what I see on the Flora, but no one starved. Flora looks beautiful but was was twice as much as Xploration, and we were barely on the ship (had hikes/snorkels etc from 8am til dinner with a break for lunch, short rest).

I am assuming with all the cuts there is no longer a buffet extravaganza? I can't seem to find anything about it in over a year. We will be on a 10 night med cruise on the Apex end of October and was fine tuning my dining and was trying to see when this might be, but I see no accounts of anyone attending in the past year.

Thank you both!

We will be on the Apex 10/26-11/5 doing a Mediterranean cruise. We will be traveling with another couple who are thinking we should rent a cabana on one of our at sea days so that we have our own space to hang out. I'm on the fence about this. We all have a drink package, so the beer and vodka aren't a value to us. It might just be a place to sit together. Do you think we need to reserve this prior to boarding or is there usually availability? I'm thinking they probably aren't as popular as during a Caribbean cruise since it's not as warm. If we book in advance, what is the cancellation policy once we are on board and perhaps decide it's too windy or unnecessary? The language when booking says "cancelled packages are subject to full cover charges and there are no refunds for unused amounts". This is the same language for the specialty restaurants and I've cancelled and rebooked those already with no penalties(though obviously not onboard). Has anyone here cancelled a cabana once on board?

So you are saying you went to your first reservation and they didn't have Lobster available? I'd be pretty upset as, like Jim-lain, that's the main reason I booked it!

You can look at the current cruise on the app, that’s where I saw it. Was curious if the app is incorrect for the current cruise or is it gone.

Can anyone on the Apex confirm if the Lobster casserole is still being served in Eden? I looked on the App for this week (I'm not on-board), and it isn't listed on the menu any of the days.

We were in the Galapagos earlier this year. For insurance, we booked just the evacuation insurance through Travelsafe. The cost was $108 for us both. We have a premium credit card that provides travel insurance, so we didn't need the whole package. If you have a premium credit card, check your benefits. Also, we traveled Delta through Atlanta and it was surprisingly easy and efficient. Our connection was 5 terminals away and we had 1 hr to get there. I was a bit stressed, but the monorails were great and we had plenty of time.
