Rare BennyBrun Posted January 12, 2022 Author #626 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Day 5 Not a cigar smoker at all so buying it as a gift. The price started at $60.00 and we settled $17.00 cash. Make sure you have singles and don’t let them see the money you have. It helps your haggling power. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted January 12, 2022 Author #627 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Day 5 Another example, there was a porcelain hand painted turtle we liked, it started at $25.00 we settled at $8.00. They are really working the tourists. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted January 12, 2022 Author #628 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Day 5 So the only unknown to us is if we will make Nassau or not. I probably missed the announcements about it. Personally it could be a sea day. We already visited 3 ports all entertainment went on as scheduled had two great lobster entrées. Life is great on the APEX. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BennyBrun Posted January 12, 2022 Author #631 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Day 5 The only thing I would suggest is that they start lunch at 11AM or 11:30AM at Oceanview. Or start the pizza station early and let the rest come online later so you have burger or pizza as the early option. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life is great on the APEX. Need to correct you. There are supposed to be 7 different "Nights of..." back in Eden. Tonight, night 5 of our cruise will be only the second time they have performed back there. The ensemble shows like Night of Dreams based on Alice in Wonderland is the one show I was looking forward to and unless it makes a surprise visit on one of the last two nights, it'll be a Covid casualty. All three of the main shows will have happened...Crystallize previously, Tree of Life tonight and Rockumentary on Friday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only see the Lamanai ruins excursion in the planner for our cruise next month. Was hoping they might have one for Altun Ha. There were quite a few different selections to choose from before we got on the ship like 30 days out. I think only one was sold out. I highly recommend you go with the Celebrity tour in Belize. That is NOT the port to book last minute tour when you get off the ship or explore on your own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you happen to hear anything about COVID numbers from the captain? We missed almost all of the Captain’s announcements. I know we are missing a neighbor. They were there on day 1 but have not been there because they did not even pick up the excursion tickets that were delivered to their room on Day 2.

Rare BennyBrun Posted January 12, 2022 Author #639 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Day 5 Oops… I typed too soon. I just heard the Captain’s announcement by opening our stateroom’s door. We did hit 1% onboard. One guest tested positive in quarantine and the close contacts are in isolation and have all been identified. The captain is hard to understand so SNJCRUISERS if you heard something different please correct me. We are still going to Nassau. Sea day tomorrow and then Nassau. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomC2L2 Posted January 12, 2022 #640 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Question about the Buffalo Trace… I understand it’s available to drink in the bars but can you buy it onboard? My son in law would love a bottle, especially if I am buying 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vickykay Posted January 12, 2022 #641 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Great videos. We also love the Mexican vanilla and stock up when we are at this port. Question, are there scones at the ocean view at teatime? We love Celebrity scones. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not understand why a lot of Princess ships have stopped playing the love boat theme though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been sitting on the IV balcony enjoying the breeze while my DW gets ready for dinner. Did the Captain say we are docking in Nassau or going to Nassau? Could be the same turnaround that we experienced last week. Edited January 12, 2022 by SNJCruisers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrklein25 Posted January 12, 2022 #645 Share Posted January 12, 2022 My wife & I are sailing on Saturday. We have never done celebrity before. What’s the dress code for dinner? Is there a formal night? We are custom to royal Caribbean where I wear my swim suit from dawn to dusk. Thanks for all the information you provide!

Lastdance Posted January 12, 2022 #649 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) I am so full from eating way too much food, not to mention all the places I have been onboard and off the ship. Just think, I have more to come and I haven't even left my study with my iMac. Thank you, BennyBrun, for my vacation! I will be on her in October, but feel like a friend due to your photos and information. What a wonderful winter treat! Really enjoying the cruise through your lens and your eyes! Many thanks for my vicarious Caribbean vacation. Cannot wait for what's ahead! Edited January 12, 2022 by Lastdance 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dress code for dinner is long pants and collared shirt. There are two semi dress up nights usually on nights 2 & 6 on a 7 day sailing. Only saw two tuxes on night two. Even saw 3 men wearing shorts on night one in the MDR. With only 1065 on board, there is no way their luggage was not delivered. They pushed the envelope and succeeded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
