Watch Making Session on Cruise

Had a great time on Celebrity Edge on a watchmaking session they held.
Basic but fun.

That looks like an interesting thing to do. A surprising activity too - although I’ve never been on a cruise so didn’t realise they did hands on stuff like this.

Was that session organised by one or all of the watch sellers (with the target to pitch their sales) or was it part of the enrichment programme?

I have been on various cruiselines including Celebrity (not on the Edge yet) but never have seen that.
I think that it's a phantastic idea!

It was by the shops but no pressure whatsoever to sell you anything.
Only thing remotely close was saying you are welcome to visit and learn more.

I did that on a Princess Cruise line. It was quite interesting. Showed best countries and shops to buy brands including Rolex and AP. The presenter was also a collector with many old Subs and Omega watches. He even had a history on several brands that included a movie.
