Abbydancer, I was on the Apex sailing prior to yours…disembarking as you boarded. As usual, I was sobbing as I was dragged off the ship 😭. Everything (with the exception of some rain) was perfect. I sailed in a SV on deck 9 which was great. The staff was fabulous. Enjoy RGG; we ate there the first night…yummy. Fortunately, I remembered to wear my “expandable” pants! With the exception of the oxtails offered in Cosmopolitan, it was my favorite meal. i hope you have a great sailing. Happy Holidays 🎄 Susan

Good morning Paul, Apex was amazing…disembarked yesterday 🥲. I waved as we sailed past Miami on 12/9! I’m ready for this Summit review. Down to 109 days until we sail on Silhouette 🚢. Bon Voyage, Susan

Thanks for the great review and wonderful photos. I’m beyond excited to board tomorrow. Safe travels back to HE! Susan 😎

Wow…I spent a beautiful day today in Ft. Lauderdale wandering up and down A1A and missed two pages of your excellent pre-cruise travel journal. I especially love the Aruba Trikes pic as we did that about five years ago. What a great excursion! Happy Travels. Susan 😎

Yes…3:30 from Port Everglades. Since we will be heading south to Key West, maybe I can ask the captain to swing by Miami so we can have our close encounter! What the heck is with Floridians in this climate? I had a great outside table at Seasons 52 in Galleria Mall to meet family for dinner. 71 degrees at 6:45 and they needed to move inside because it was too cold 😵‍💫. Good Lord, we had snow in Chicago two days ago…I am loving 71 degrees. “See you” Saturday 😎 Susan

Following…I board Apex on Saturday (BTW, who turned off the heat in Ft. Lauderdale… the natives are in coats and long pants)! Have a great trip/s. We can compare notes in April when we sail together on Silhouette. Bon Voyage Susan 😎

I wouldn’t be above bribing the steward to get the lounger. Hopefully it won’t come to that!

The SV on Edge, and presumably Apex, is amazing. Granted, I sail solo, but the cabin is spacious and the bathroom is the largest I have seen (having never been in a suite). I do find the closet a bit smaller than S class, but ask for the robes to be removed to give me more space. There’s 3 good-size drawers in the desk, 2 or 3 smaller drawers and the safe in the closet and a huge drawer in the bathroom. You will also find several nooks and crannies in the cabin next to the closet. I tend to overpack 😱, but there is still plenty of space! My requests of the cabin steward: please empty the minibar, lease remove the robes and please, please, please bring me a lounger! 😎 I received multiple move up bid emails, but would not consider giving up my SV! You’re going to love it 😍 Susan

I’ll guard it as if I was sailing in it again…which I will be in December, 2024!

Those long walks are rewarded with extra gelato 😋🤗😉

Are we sailing together starting Saturday? I am also the middle…#9312! I was lucky getting a lounger on Edge and plan to be equally lucky on Apex! 😉

…we’ll just have to wait to meet up on Silhouette! 😎

I have sailed in both 9309 and 10271 on Edge. I wouldn’t hesitate to book either again. I prefer those decks…no noise from Eden below or from the OVC above. There is not much overhang; but you can bring your chair closer to the balcony door for shade. I love the SV so much that I have the 9th deck SV booked for next weekend on Apex. Enjoy! Susan 😎

I’m watching Apex pull out now…and so excited for you. Have a great trip! Susan 😎

My friends and I sailed on Solstice around Hawaii and across to Vancouver…great trip! I started in Bridgeport, moved to Des Plaines and ultimately Schaumburg. The world is getting smaller 🤗

Close to South Barrington? I work at the Arboretum!

Good morning from rainy Schaumburg! I’ll be on that same UA flight next Thursday from ORD and boarding Apex when you depart on Saturday, 12/9! It’s like we are the same person 🤗. I’ve also sailed Edge and chose this Apex itinerary since my first stop is Key West and that will be a first for me. I look forward to your review. Bon Voyage. Susan 😎

If you didn’t have the warm chocolate chip cookie topped with vanilla ice cream for dessert, you missed the best part of the meal 😋

Happy birthday Jim.🎊🎉🎈🎂

Sounds like the guy sold used cars in another life!

Yes. Celebrity is in Miami; I am in Chicago...so I checked in at 11pm local time (midnight on the east coast). At that early time, I was able to get 11am-11:30am. I'll take it 👍 Good luck.

Yes…I was able to do it for myself and travel companions in two other cabins since we are all linked.

I am sailing on Apex on 12/9…can’t wait 😎

I’m the parrot lady 😉. Sinbad is my bestie…I don’t let on until the last possible moment that I am leaving…as soon as he spots the luggage, all bets are off! I do think he suspects that I am leaving in two weeks 🚢. Sorry for interrupting Georgia_Peaches! And now it’s time to watch you sailaway on the webcam. Bon Voyage Susan

Jim…you and Iain are lucky you found each other ❤️. Susan
