Rare mac_tlc Posted February 4, 2022 Author #151 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Just got out of the show tonight. Performer was Antonio Salci. He was fabulous, accompanied by the Apex orchestra which is also top notch. If you have the chance, catch his show. We also saw him on the Edge last year.

My preference is Woodford , followed by Bullitt, Buffalo Trace and Makers. So far it has been hit or miss on the Woodford. Not available at Magic Carpet, Pool Bar, Sunset Bar. Have found it in Retreat Lounge and Eden. Magic Carpet didn’t have Woodford, Bullitt or Makers. Haven’t tried The Club yet. Maybe later today😜. More work needs to be done on this. mac_tlc They have Buffalo Trace? Ooooo Baby! I'm all over that! Certainly can't get it at home. And, I'm just across the Ohio River from their distillery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can vary as the week goes on, some disappear at times. mac_tlc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kathynorth Posted February 4, 2022 #159 Share Posted February 4, 2022 It all looks really unique from other ships we've been on. We really appreciate all the great photos! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mac_tlc Posted February 4, 2022 Author #160 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Here is an under appreciated, or at least an not-often-discussed dining location that we really liked this trip. Located in the Solarium. Only open about 2 hours for breakfast and 2 hours for lunch. Don’t let the name scare you! While it’s probably healthier than some options, the items are really tasty. the turkey club has mayo, cheese and bacon….enough said. At least a dozen options plus the smoothies, espresso coffee machine, juices, etc. We went for lunch three times. Great ocean views too. mac_tlc Edited February 4, 2022 by mac_tlc 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my nine day Apex cruise I don't remember ever seeing a Turkey Sandwich premade as pictured sitting out in the Spa Cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be, since the $6 charge is vastly smaller than an alcoholic drink would be. Everything looks so yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to try it then, I think I thought it look too dry and didn't take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mac_tlc Posted February 5, 2022 Author #166 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) And so we wrap up cruise #42. It was a wonderful time on a fabulous ship. We really do like the Retreat experience on E-class. A few shots pulling into Port Everglades : I will be posting all of my pictures to my FLIKR account within the next few days. I’ll post the link here. Until next time, March 27,2022 onboard the Celebrity Edge. Please join us for a trip to the Western Caribbean!! mac_tlc Edited February 5, 2022 by mac_tlc 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are included with the Premium Beverage Package but not the classic or all included. Read the description of what is included and you will see where it specifically mentions smoothies.

cruzeluver Posted February 6, 2022 #172 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Have enjoyed following along. Thank you for sharing your experiences. We were on Apex last month and absolutely loved it! Things can sure change sailing to sailing. We did have the Beyond The Podium series so perhaps they could not get someone or they could not get to the ship this week? When we arrived at Port Everglades to board were given a memo that anyone wishing to disembark in St Thomas would have to purchase a ship-sponsored excursion. We were disappointed as we had independent plans, but understood we are in an ever-changing situation right now so we booked a simple beach excursion which was fine. We booked a last minute ocean view guarantee. Three days out we were assigned a stateroom on deck three. After check-in we were advised we had been upgraded to an infinite verandah on deck seven! Loved it and would book one again. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t imagine the staff put these there so is it safe to assume the chair hogs have now migrated to the Retreat? We have not seen this on past cruises in the Retreat so I hope it is not an issue on our upcoming Apex B2B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was walking around early the last day, I saw the Staff on the Retreat Sundeck and Resort Pool deck placing all the towels. Such a nice touch. mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to the last pic posted where they are covering the chairs and it appears there may be a bag and chair clips etc. as if people who are not there using them are reserving them.
