Celebrity Apex

Fantastic Ship

April

Pros: Food Service Decor Activities Crew Cleanliness Entertainment

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

We love the Apex and as well we love the Edge Class of Ships.

Solo Travelers

March

Pros: The solo cabins are real nice.

Cons: Cost of being a SoloTraveler

Recommended: Yes

I have traveled many times on Celebrity. The cost for a solo traveler when a solo cabin is not available is so expensive( charge double occupancy). They need to charge less than double. Celebrity needs to have more meetup/meeting than on the day of disembarkation. While on the first day, the Celebrity staff person said you can all meet again, but there will not be a staff person here. They need to have more activities for the just the solo traveler. These comment are not to reflect that there are issues with this agency. I think the agency is great and I will always use Debbie Stack. She is the best.

Sky Suite and the Retreat lounge are good, the rest only okay

January

Pros: Spacious Sky Suite cabin; comfortable Retreat lounge; excellent Internet connection

Cons: Ship is crowded; food quality varies; crew service is average

Recommended: Yes

Thank goodness for the Retreat Lounge. It was a comfortable refuge from the crowds of this big ship. The concierge staff in the lounge were also very helpful in handling questions and requests. The Sky Suite cabin is the best I have enjoyed among this tier of cruise lines without getting into the pricey penthouse suites. It was spacious and comfortable. I really liked the “window” in the bathroom that allowed natural light in and made the bathroom feel even more spacious. My only gripe is that the room safe is really tiny. The food on the ship, unfortunately, is less than stellar. The buffet is abysmal. The food quality in the restaurants was hit and miss. I had some really excellent dishes, but also some real disappointments. The Luminae restaurant is exclusive for the Retreat class, but often had an uninspired menu and service was mediocre. I preferred the Blu restaurant, which had a better menu and better service. The waiters in Blu were also willing to let me order dishes from the main dining menus in addition to the Blu menu. This is not a cruise ship for families, which is fine by me. I saw only a handful of kids on the entire ship. Overall, I did enjoy the cruise. I would only cruise again in the Retreat class, though.

Wonders on the high seas

January

Pros: New ship, excellent food, helpful staff, great service, amazing spa/gym-overall a great vacation

Cons: Not much at all due to weather issues excursions were canceled

Recommended: Yes

Celebrity apex was a wonderful experience with great food and so much to do Stateroom was well appointed and much bigger than I thought. Dining in Blu was overall great and the staff was so accommodating and friendly. There was so much to do or just relax by the pool 7 days on the high seas was a perfect vacation getaway

Sailing away with Celebrity

Cruise to San Juan, Tortola and St. Kitts

March

Pros: Clean, beautiful ship, great food and entertainment, nice room (and bathroom), fun activities

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

Great experience - first time on Celebrity. Apex is a beautiful new ship. Mobile App gives you lots of information and a daily planner. Easy on-off procedures. Friendly, helpful crew. Great food options. Spring break week, but the kids weren't a problem at all! We had a blast...

All Great but One Thing

February

Pros: A Gorgeous ship

Cons: The Martini Bar in the center of the ship.

Recommended: Yes

The Martini Bar located in the middle of the ship had entertainment so loud that it ruined my experience being on such an amazing vessel. It not only ruined the Martini Bar but was too loud upstairs in the Steakhouse, in Le Petit Chef, two stories above and in the coffee house.

On a Sea of Glass, Smiles All Around

December

Pros: Smooth Sailing, Easy Smiles

Cons: So high up, we were more in the clouds than on the sea

Recommended: Yes

Wow! What a cruise! Smiles from everyone and everyone eager to help. Except for when in the Oceanview Buffet and looking for the waiter with your drinks.

Great cruise on Apex

October

Pros:

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

Cyprus was a poor choice for a port of call. All the other ports of call were great.

Mediterreannan Cruise with tour of Rome

September

Pros: Great Guides

Cons: had to come home

Recommended: Yes

Great Cruise

May

Pros: Excellent Staff

Cons: Excursion issues

Recommended: Yes

Our ports and excursions were changed a few times and there was little help on the ship at the excursion counter. Extremely disappointed that we were unable to visit Normandy as the excursion sold out extremely fast and then by the time we knew that there would not be any other Normandy excursions added, it was too late to find a local one.

Celebrity Apex Transatlantic Cruise

May

Pros: 4 separate dining rooms instead of one main dining, Great Entertainment

Cons: No balcony veranda staterooms beside Sunset Verandas

Recommended: Yes

Beautiful ship! But we are not a fan of the Infinite Veranda Balcony rooms. They are floor to ceiling glass with a upper window that can be lowered. We prefer full balconies which you can only get with a Sunset Veranda or Suite.

Cruising in style

May

Pros: 4 dining rooms and 4 specialty restaurants so you are never with a herd of people

Cons: not much to buy on the ship unless you want to spend big money mostly watches and jewelry

Recommended: Yes

Great Ship

April

Pros: The staff was great, the ship was very clean, service was exceptional

Cons: Not enough availability for the Eden Show, the premium wifi was slow for the price

Recommended: Yes

They lived up to the service as described as it relates to sanitizing everything . All food was served to guest at the buffet. The waiters in main dining were nice and attentive

Fun times

April

Pros: Everything basically on 3 levels easy to find restaurants, shops

Cons: No “fun shopping” pop ups like on Royal Caribbean

Recommended: Yes

Ship was clean, staff was very nice & professional, food was excellent and shows were good. It was not at full capacity which made it nice too. No problems getting into restaurants. Disappointed our first stop was supposed to be Key West & that’s why I booked this cruise then it was changed to Bahamas — not happy.

Luxurious Ship- wonderful crew!

January

Pros: Everything about the ship was gorgeous! Stateroom was fantastic! Food was very good- especially at Fine Cutes! Le Petite Chef was a entertaining dining experience. Loved the coffee shop!

Cons: Sad that the martini bar was not on ice and that there was not as much fun interaction with the bar staff there.

Recommended: Yes

We loved the ship! Our concierge stateroom and service was top notch. We enjoyed our infinite veranda. Loved the solarium and Magic Carpet! We missed the martini bar that the Equinox has - ice covered and the shows the bar staff put on there. Theater productions were great as was the performances in Eden.

February 2022 Cruise

February

Pros: The Apex crew is wonderful!

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

The crew is friendly & amazing! The 4 main dining rooms were wonderful and the specialty dining and animation at Le Petit Chef was a highlight. Wie felt very safe with the covid protocols they had in place. It’s a beautiful ship!

Celebrity Apex Jan 22 2022

January

Pros: Food & Drink were excellent in Blu ... All staff went out of their way to accomodate. Beautiful new ship.

Cons: Minor ship design flaws which could be corrected hopefully.

Recommended: Yes

All in all an excellent 7 day cruise. We stayed on ship and enjoyed being pampered while we relaxed. Masking in indoor places became a norm and since all on-board were vaccinated we felt safe at all times. Ship had approximately 1100 on-board or 1/3 capacity allowing for plenty of space.

Year-End Caribbean Cruise

December

Pros: Excellent Food - including the Buffet

Cons: Shore Excursions

Recommended: Yes

Great cruise

July

Pros: Everything was perfect. Beautiful new ship with excellent service.

Cons: Absolutely none!!

Recommended: Yes

A perfect cruise. Not only a beautiful new ship with new venues & great food but excellent service every single time. The employees were happy & glad to be back to work. Very good entertainment also. La Petite Chef was fun with animation on the table. Staterooms are sophisticated & classy with inside/outside balconies. We love Blu restaurant & Aqua class. Was nice that alcohol, tips & wifi was included! Great ports too. With connecting flights we stayed in Paris & Greece before the cruise but close to many major cities.

Incredible Greek Isles Cruise

July

Pros: amazing!

Cons: none

Recommended: Yes

We had an incredible week on Celebrity Apex. Because of Covid or travel restrictions there were only about 400 travelers on the ship and 900 staff which made us feel so pampered. The ship is so beautiful! We were told it cost 1.2 billion dollars to construct and we were on its third sailing. Food and entertainment was wonderful as well. Each port we stopped at was great. Our family had an incredible experience and we will definitely be choosing celebrity again in the future.
