Anyone know what’s going on with the Apex between Oct 31 - Nov 3?

We’re currently booked on a B2B on the Apex out of Port Everglades embarking Nov 4. However, between Oct 31 through Nov 3, the Apex is sitting idle. Anyone know what’s going on?

Naming ceremony happening from 31 Oct-4 Nov. Probably sailing with VIPs.

Ah, I remember hearing something about that awhile back, but hadn’t read any news clips recently. Thanks! It will be interesting to see if the ship ever moves the next few days.

yes and PTZtv showed her on the bridge in jeans and wearing a mask. she was animated and taking photos from the left side of the bridge as it was leaving.   cool that she did not wear her captain outfit. then again she is off duty but was great to see her.  Guess her vacation back at home did not last long since she was in germany for photo op with new ship as well as new captain of Wonder of the Seas

But if they actually do go on a 2-3 day cruise, I wonder if all the VIPs and their families had to provide a negative 2 day antigen test? 😂😂

I would think so.  Captain Kate was tested the other day in order to board the Apex.

VIP's & Travel Advisors from US & Can.  All fully vaxxed and provided the negative Antigen test.

Plus some competition winners I believe.

I looks like the Apex is on the move! That’s one reason I added the Cruiser Mapper link in my opening post. It will be fun to watch where they wind up!

Capt Kate is onboard as a passenger.
