quicklabs Posted June 5, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Hoping so ! We love Linie Aquavit and it is impossible to find locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgabriel Posted June 5, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 5, 2022 We have not sailed on Apex but did a Norwegian cruise in August 2019. No aquavit on that cruise. I grew up drinking aquavit ... think it could be - lol - dangerous at a bar where someone may not understand that needs to be way diluted. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Wildcat Posted June 5, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 5, 2022 No aquavit in Ohio? Surprised. Larger liquor stores in both Arizona and California carry it. Would guess on board probably not as Celebrity tries to standardize liquor on all ships and all imports are in short supply along with small distillers.

And I love reading the Linie label to see the details of the voyage. I do hope I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreestyleNovice Posted June 5, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 5, 2022 You will be able to buy Linie Aquavit at one of the Gall & Gall liquor stores in Amsterdam, your port of departure. Gall & Gall is a chain; there are numerous stores around. Other liquor store might have it too. If you walk down the quay (all the way, say 10 ship lengths?) you will get to the Gall & Gall at Veemkade 1266 next to some grocery stores. The other stores closeby are in the city center. https://www.gall.nl/linie-aquavit-70cl-799068.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy99 Posted June 5, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Most ships do not source locally for beverages. They used to source locally for some specific culinary delicacies (ie Salmon in Alaska, lobster in Maine/Halifax) that appear on the regular menus etc, but since Covid, I don't think that has been reinstated yet.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted June 5, 2022 #12 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Generally Celebrity doesn't stock ships for different itineraries. My understanding is that it is all purchased through Miami and is pretty much identical for all ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
