cruisy

In November the Allure 3 night itinerary did Welcome, Italian, Caribbean. It looks like now (January) they will be doing Welcome, Italian, Bon Voyage. This is a new itinerary, so maybe they were still working out their plans.

Here's a pic from their instagram:

Has anyone been to this shop on Nassau? They have an Instagram, and their bags are very nice compared to the straw market ones. They have a shop, but it is "by appointment only". I am curious about their pricing, and I don't want to make an appointment to go to their shop just to find out that the prices are out of my comfort zone. Honestly, it looks a bit like an "if you have to ask you can't afford it" type of place, but you never know...(reminds me of the sail cloth totes in Maine cruise ports, cool, but SO EXPENSIVE)

Not a great place for me, because I have a bird phobia. When I was last there, people kept abandoning their lunch on loungers at the beach. If it was food that they had paid for, they would eat it, but since it's free, this happens all over the place there. I have also had birds swoop at my plate while I am at the buffet. It's just too stressful.

By the way, Ice show is called Blades, not Ice Games. Also Blue Planet was not listed to reserve.

Her are the show days and times for Allure three night itinerary from Port Canaveral. I am assuming they will remain the same for most sailing dates. Ice Day 1 8:30 and 10:30 Day 3 7:00 and 9:00 Aqua Day 2 8:00 and 10:00 Day 3 8:00 and 10:00 Mama Mia Day 1 8:00 Day 2 5:00 Comedy Day 1 7:30, 9:30 and 11:30 Day 2 7:30, 9:30 and 11:30

CNSfromHI do you mean the disclaimer at the bottom? Doesn't that just mean that these drinks can be up to $17? (hopefully). Personally, I think the Liqueurs and Cognacs in the classic package are terrible, because there are 2 anise ones, and Kahlua and Tia Maria are kind of a duplicate. It's like they know the light drinkers will want items from the premium group - Bailey's, Amaretto, Cointreau, Godiva - these all have lesser priced alternatives that could have replaced the duplicates in the classic group.

We have the classic package as well. If what we order requires a "little 💲omething extra" is it usually pretty reasonable? Also, can they make non menu items with the classic package - I am a mudslide, toasted almond, BBC kind of drinker, and these don't seem to be on the menus.

Has anyone done Sensation departure at 8:30 and return with Speedy's at 11:45? I'm thinking that this might be our best option, but I would be needing to arrange transportation to the baths. I would like to go, but we have a family member who can't handle much longer than this at a beach.

If you look at Celebrity's list of classic liquors and cognacs, they aren't very "occasional drinker" friendly: Campari (bitter), Galliano ("herbal", I actually read that you can substitute Ouzo or Sambuca for it), Hennessy (cognac), Kahlua (coffee, the most drinkable item here for a light drinker), Kirsch (cherry brandy), Licor 43 (described as vanilla, cinnamon - I have high hopes for this), Ouzo (anise), Romana Sambuca ( sweet anise), Southern Comfort ( peach whiskey), and Tia Maria ( coffee with vanilla) So, in summary, two coffee liquors, three anise, a vanilla cinnamon liquor, whiskey, brandy, cognac and bitters. I know there are also a variety of rums, vodkas, tequilas, etc. BUT, when you don't drink very often, these aren't the greatest options. A lot of the ingredients for the things an occasional drinker would order are premium.

Does anyone know what the up-charge with the Classic package would be for a cocktail that has Bailey's or Amaretto in it? My go-to drinks are mudslide, BBC and toasted coconut, which contain top shelf liquors according to Celebrity. I am assuming that they would make these, but I have not seen them on any Apex menus. Also, how does one find out what the price would be for a non-menu drink? Do bartenders have some sort of pricing formula for that? (Sorry, I have no land-bar experience) We are pretty much cruise-only drinkers, and don't even drink beer/wine, so there is no way we could drink enough to change to the premium package.
