Apple products from I-lounge

[C4HCG]

I have a quick question - do they sell Apple Watches in the i-lounge does anyone know? 
 

Thanks.

There were no Apple Watches for sale during our Solstice cruise in January

Anyone on the Silhouette right now that knows if they have IPads? Was hoping to get one with OBC on our cruise that starts Monday.

Was on Silhouette last year and they had a good supply of iPads.    Problem is they all were at least 1 to 2 generations old.    The prices are Apple Retail price and they did not discount them due to age.

But, you can get a good deal if you are from UK:

a) favourable exchange rate

b) no VAT

Not a good deal if from the U.S.  

 

About all we would save is sales tax 8-9% but could do much better buying old product even on Amazon.

 

When living in Ireland I was always surprised at how much more expensive Apple and Dell product were and I was leasing half of my factory to Dell.   They of course gave me a good deal...lol

I knew if it was an Apple question, @Jim_Iain would have the answer.

I can live without the latest and greatest generation of iPads.  The last one I purchased onboard with OBC (an iPad Pro) was indeed reduced in price and is still working fine for me.

There are many sales on Amazon and matched by other sellers currently. It is anticipated that updated iPads will be released in March.

They age pretty well. My 2018 iPad Pro that I bought in 2018 works fine too.

Yes that’s true, but unfortunately Amazon doesn’t accept Celebrity OBC as payment.  I’ve bought iPads and Apple Watches over the years to burn up OBC. I’m happy with not having the latest and greatest if I can use up OBC. I’d never pay cash for exactly the reason you cite.

I don’t need the latest model either. Don’t even know what version they are up to, but I’m hoping they at least have the iPad 9 or better. I have so much OBC, need to spend it somewhere.

We just purchased an Apple watch for my wife over the Christmas holidays.  I would highly recommend.  Not sure about having it onboard though ...

Just purchased the brand new Apple Watch (that has all the original features) on my Ascent cruise. I had been eyeing it and came with a cool band and said well.... if I win in the casino I will buy the watch. Walked over to the casino, put $20 in Wheel of Fortune machine and did the max spin ($10), won $800. Hit cash out, back to iLounge. Enjoying my new watch very much! Comes with the same Apple warranty as well so feel very good about the purchase.
