Gorgeous ship
By: Diane K

Pro
Loved jogging track and Eden garden
Restaurants good, food good-excellent. Easy to get into as there were only 600+ passengers. Will be a problem with a full ship.
crew very attentive
Loved the classic drinks package
Great covid testing organization. (a hard time with TrustOne website but they gave us a print-out for flying home).
Loved that everyone was vaccinated
Washing station up on the oceanside café. Very convenient.
Since there were so few people, swimming pools easy to use, not many people there.
two shows I saw were really good.
I liked how they used the magic carpet on the ship's side for tendering.
Cons
The infinity edge cabin. Not a veranda. It’s just an elongated room with an open-able window. Disliked it a lot. Will probably try and avoid those cabins in future.
Not enough electrical outlets (box around them made them hard to use). should be on both sides of the bed.
This ship isn't really for families. Similar to Viking ocean ships.

The ship was in its reboot of the inaugural voyage and the Greek Captain that was 39 years and 24 months was the star or the show. Our Room and retreat host were exceptional and strongly encourage the EDEN restaurant.

Celebrity Apex Greek Isle Cruise
By: Brandon H
Reviewed on: 25 Sep 2021
The Celebrity Apex is a new ship (since June 2021) for the cruise line. The ship was nothing short of SPECTACUALAR! The whole boat was an amazing piece of art. The rooms were MUCH nicer and larger than your typical cruise boats (Royal, Norwegian, Carnival). The food was great and the service was some of the best we have ever had about a cruise ship. 5 stars from us and we will definitely be cruising with Celebrity in the future.

The APEX experience.
By: Go Girl
Reviewed on: 21 Nov 2021
We had an exceptional good experience on the newest cruise ship Celebrity ApeX. A new twist to the old style. The Dinning reinvented. No longer using the one large room and mandatory two seating times, the new Dinning style allows choice of restaurants, reservation times and a Variety of Cuisines. A much better eating experience. The APEX has many other new features that were fun to explore.and worth a return trip. We are most thankful for our Travel agent, Lisa McKay, CSB travel planners. Travel can be stressful, but not with Lisa. There is never a problem with our travel plans and that make for the best experience.

beautiful ship-attentive staff

Reviewed on: 09 Nov 2021
Although we were scheduled to sale the Apex on her Transatlantic crossing in 2020 and had originally rebooked for 2021, sometimes the " best laid plans of mice and men go astray" (with all respect to Robert Burns) and we did not go on the crossing. Instead we did this "test cruise" for a quick three days. Now granted, we had only 800 passengers on the ship, but I've never seen this kind of service on a large cruise ship. The staff was wonderful and so attentive and the food, even in the "main" dining rooms was the best I've ever had on a Celebrity ship. The entertainment was equally good, and I enjoyed the more intimate "Club" as well. I only wish we could have stayed longer, but there will be a next time.

Holiday Celebrity Apex Cruise
By: Kleinus
Reviewed on: 11 Jan 2022
Our family had a wonderful time on this new beautiful Celebrity ship ( Apex). We have sailed on her sister ship Edge and they are quite similar. The food was very good, the entertainment was better than we have had on other Celebrity sailings and our family really enjoyed the snorkeling in Cozumel on the catamaran. The boat was emaculate and had 2 bathrooms. The snorkel equipment was top notch and was all individually wrapped. Also took us to a beach with lounge chairs, umbrellas, hammocks and inflatables.
Some of the other excursions in Belize and Casa Maya were not so great. Long, unairconditioned bus ride which we did not appreciate.
Other than that everything was great!

Bring back the old!
By: Bob
Reviewed on: 12 Mar 2022
My wife and I recently took a trip on celebrity Apex. We found it to be somewhat sterile and less conducive to mixing with other passengers. Celebrity seems to have eliminated get-togethers for the Captain’s Club but had published meetings for LGBTQ+ and AA members. Also, they seemed to eliminate religious services which many people enjoyed. There is no doubt that the ship is beautiful but my feeling is the beauty should not overshadow the camaraderie that sailing brings with it. My wife and I will be frequenting Solstice class vessels which for our age group seems much more inviting.

We loved our time on board the Celebrity Apex. This was our first cruise and we are hooked. The ship is absolutely gorgeous! Plenty of room for everyone to spread out, we never felt cramped or crowded. The food was delicious, so many different dining options to choose from, the wait staff was alway so attentive. Our cabin was very nice, the room was always clean and straightened up whenever we returned to it. The shows were amazing, we had fun in the night club, loved the silent disco nights and 80’d night, the spa and gym were incredible too. All of the employees were so gracious and polite. We will definitely be taking future cruises with celebrity!

First time on the Edge class ship
By: AMS
Reviewed on: 19 May 2022
I loved the ship, but was disappointed with a few things: 1) ran out of lactose free milk, Diet Coke, Canadian Club and even Crown Royal. 2) the protein bars they used to have at the Aqua café, they no longer make. I used to get 1 or 2 daily. Not having them was a big let down. 3) I was expecting less noise in the smaller main dining rooms as less people were in each room, but it was just as noisy as the big main dining room on the other ships. 4) I didn’t take in too much of the entertainment as I found the music was too loud and overpowered the singers. 5) I enjoyed having a variety of some difference of the food options in the different main dining rooms. I very much enjoyed the infinite balcony, but I could see it being a problem if one was an early riser but the other wanted to sleep in. I would have preferred the window separating the balcony to have curtains.

I have sailed other celebrity ships and this was my least favorite. I think many of their public spaces were too small and not planned well.

Loved the ship…HATED the Wi-Fi
By: Atlgolfwidow
Reviewed on: 23 May 2022
The ship is wonderful. Crew wonderful. Food very good. Entertainment, for the most part, outstanding. Love the Infinite Balcony. New bathroom very nice. Bleu dining room disappointing view, so no reason for us to upgrade to Acqua Class on the Apex.
The BIGGEST FAILURE was the free Wi-Fi! Caused me constant stress, even trying to use my free Elite minutes! The staff didn’t seem to know how bad it was or really how to fix it. It only got worse. Even those who paid to upgrade said it was terrible. I couldn’t get Comcast email ever…no problem the minute we got off the ship and found free Wi-Fi in town. It was the worst thing about the cruise. I would have preferred not to have anything than to be disappointed day after day. Celebrity tech needs to learn UPOD (under promise and over deliver) rather than OPUD (over promise and under deliver). I was looking for messages about my cruise immediately following this one. Very stressful.
