Apple Reseller Hits High Seas with Cruise Ship iLounges

Tough times for Julie McCoy: who will take disco lessons when there’s an Apple reseller on board the ship?

The iLounge, aka a cruise director’s worst nightmare, will be making waves on a new Celebrity Cruises fleet launching in April. The upscale cruise ship company already offers onboard computer training as well as wine tasting courses and art auctions.

This new seafaring iLounge will be kitted out with 26 workstations for passenger use.  It’s also an Authorized Apple Reseller where you can check out the latest MacBooks, iPods and accessories. (No word on whether it will also have iPad, yet). It also has a classroom plus an “enrichment center” where trained staff offers tips.

Easy to imagine promising your beloved a true holiday with a computer fast, then being caught sneaking off the sun deck to get a monitor tan in the iLounge.
