SV is a true balcony. If you are able, book it…and enjoy the wake view!

I book dinner for the first night when there is a pre-cruise special. Total usually comes to about $40…if memory serves, lunch is about $30. It’s been a year, so those prices have likely changed; but lunch is less expensive.

Rooftop Garden Grill is my favorite specialty restaurant. I’ll be eating dinner there next Saturday night and have been looking forward to it since the last time I sailed on Apex. I love the seafood kebab. They are nice enough to make it with just shrimp for me since I’m not a fan of scallops. Also, the ribs are outstanding but my favorite is the chocolate chip cookie served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Make sure to wear “expandable” pants. On seadays, weather permitting, they also serve lunch, but you need to wait until you’re on board to make a reservation for that. I had an early dinner reservation last year and we were one of only three tables so it was very quiet with great service.

I’m boarding Apex on the day you leave…but have to wait until next November for my turn on Sun Princess. I sailed on Apex last December and can’t wait to return… also on deck 8 in a SV. Bon Voyage 😎

I book early (this cruise was booked 21 months ahead) so I can get my SV. As a solo, I would never need the kind of space in a suite...and would never consider paying the exorbitant price we solos are charged. I hope you love the SV as much as I do.

You can also access the safe to lock up any valuables before leaving the cabin.

Enjoy…I board Apex the day you get off. I will be in the same SV as last December so it feels like going home. Bon Voyage! Susan 😎 BTW, your holiday decorations are beautiful 🌲

I was in cabin 8348 on Silhouette in April. The balcony is partially covered. I love the wake view.

Loving the RGG photos. I’ll be eating dinner there on Apex two weeks from this Saturday. It’s my favorite meal of the week.😋

❤️❤️❤️ The Captain on Dr. Odyssey has nothing on this guy 😉

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It’s not really much type of music, but he is so charismatic you can’t help but get on your feet! 👏👏👏

Looks like Captain Kirk (aka Captain Rock & Roll) is on the job! We sailed with him on a B2B on Silhouette in April. If he performs in the theater, be sure to catch his show. We happened to catch his performance on the first leg of our trip by accident. He was amazing…sings, plays guitar and drums! Word must have gotten out because the show during our second cruise was packed!!! So much fun. Enjoy!

Or perhaps in kindergarten?

I am sailing on the westbound Sun Princess TA next November. I’m anxious to know your thoughts. Susan 😎

I did the four-night Silhouette sailing with friends this past April. This was part #1 of a B2B so we really enjoyed turnaround day! I had only been to Key West once previously and fell in love with the town. For this trip, we did a Celebrity 3-mile bike excursion. Short walk to the meeting point, we rode for a few hours with several stops including the famous marker and finished at a shop for a slice of Key Lime Pie. Quick walk through some of the shops and back to the ship. Beautiful day. In Nassau, we walked to the Queen's Staircase (many trips to Nassau and had never made it to this famous attraction) and then walked around town and the new shops at the port. I know I'm in the minority when I say I enjoy Nassau especially now that the new terminal area is completed. Other choices for excursions that we have done are a trip to Pearl Island or the Blue Lagoon. I don't remember Chic Night so I'm glad that has been answered. Bon Voyage 😎

Thanks for the info. I just finished!

That happens in the local mall...not new to Nassau.

Main dining room...or specialty restaurants for a fee.

I’m also in a SV in December. You can’t beat the wake view 👍

We board Apex in four weeks. Enjoy your time onboard.

We were there in April and loved the new area. First a walk to the Queen's Staircase (after 6-8 Nassau cruises and had never been)...and walked along the main street visiting the new shops followed by the area directly across from the ships. I have an upcoming cruise that stops in Bimini..I wish it would be Nassau!!!

Correct…just trying to get everyone on board at the same time. I did run into a challenge last night when I was trying to link. Turns out any one person can only link five others. So best laid plans…I’ll still need to ask two others that are familiar with the process to help out. My group includes a lot of first time cruisers so I’m trying to make this as easy as possible. And yes, they can all complete the rest of the necessary info…ie passport, credit card, etc.

Thanks it’s actually having to check in each cabin, which is 14. I believe linking the reservations is more of a challenge because I need everyone’s date of birth which I’m working on and getting now. I know birthdays for all of my relatives but not necessarily the year they were born. Once I get that and we’re linked we’re good to go. Thanks again for all the responses

Thanks.

Could you please tell me what the cost of luggage valet is...and what happens if the bag gets to the airport and is found to be over the weight limit?
