Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Looking for May-June 2026 Mediterranean. So ... May June 2024?
  2. We have sea day activities for our group too... really important to spend a few minutes (it's a short hunt) getting everyone up and around the ship, finding the key venues, etc. We make sure it doesn't interfere w/anything.
  3. I want to put together a photo scavenger hunt for my group for the first day onboard. That gets everyone out and about and learning the ship. What have you seen on the Apex that would make a good "go find and take a pic of __________" without it being impossibly difficult? Looking for iconic images as well as important places to find on the ship. Your suggestions welcome. Thanks!
  4. Do it! It's amazing, even if you don't hike out onto the rocks.
  5. You'd better book as soon as you possibly can - the train sells out and sells out quick. Buying tix on the day you arrive probably will not be a possibility. The cruise lines vacuum up huge amounts of tickets and then others jump in and buy too. I doubt there will be tickets available when you walk off the ship.
  6. Kristiansand is not a port with a ton of great options. The Sedestal railway is the best thing there ... and today Celebrity canceled it (don't know why). Now everything else is sold out, although none of that looked really amazing (Mineral Park, historic walk downtown, etc). What have you done in Kristiansand that was good, or maybe something outside of Ksand that is worth going to see? Got a tour guide to recommend? I need some help for my day in Ksand. We'll be there from 1:00 to 8:00 p.m. Thanks.
  7. Wanting to see what we see in the TV shows and movies. Thames House, etc. Who has done one with a quality guide?
  8. When you dock at Zeebrugge you cannot walk off the ship and grab a cab, shuttle, etc. They shuttle you out of the port to a kind of terminal where taxis etc are waiting, correct? So if I am on an official Celebrity tour will I be picked up at the bottom of the gangway or do I shuttle to the "terminal" like everyone else and the tour forms up there?
  9. I found that article too, and here it is for those who don't want to have hunt it up: https://www.cruisehive.com/celebrity-cruises-changing-multiple-itineraries-for-one-ship/124295 Interestingly I can't find anything that says Norway passed/ratified/changed a law in the past week or so that affects cruise ship speeds, AND Celebrity has modified ports in the Caribbean that the Apex will visit. Hmmm.... why does a change in Norwegian law mean the Apex has to make changes in the Caribbean too? Hmm....
  10. Was told that it was Norwegian law that caused it ... anybody got any news/info?
  11. Celebrity announced today they are skipping Nordfjordeid on May 17 (Constitution Day) and instead will stop at Brugges instead. The itinerary was Southampton, Sea Day, Nordfjordeid. Now it's S-hampton, Bruges, Sea Day. Not real happy about it. It happens (I know) but they waited till a couple of days after final payment to jerk one of Norway's ports out from under us. GRRRR
  12. I'll be on the Apex this spring and am trying to figure out Eden. It seems to be a two-story area that is beautiful and relaxing. It features a cafe that does breakfast and lunch and is complimentary. And a upscale "extra charge" restaurant for supper that most say is amazing. Is all that correct? I also see people saying "Get to Eden for the evening show but hurry, it fills up fast." There's a theater there too? What else am I missing?
