Anchors Away: A Fabulous First Cruise

FEBRUARY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Food selections, Theatre Productions, shore excursions, hospitality

CONS

High end stores no variety, having to come home

RECOMMENDED

Yes

We had the most incredible time on our very first cruise, and it was an experience we’ll never forget! From the breathtaking ocean views to the endless activities and delicious dining options, every moment felt like a new adventure. We learned so much about what makes cruising so special—the excitement of waking up in a new port, the luxury of being pampered onboard, and the joy of discovering new places while enjoying all the comforts of home. It's safe to say we’ve been completely bitten by the cruise bug, and we’re already dreaming about our next voyage! We can't wait to explore more destinations and create even more unforgettable memories at sea.

Celebrity Apex Eastern Caribbean Cruise

FEBRUARY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Beautiful newer ship. Multiple dining and cocktail lounges to choose from. Entertainment and cabins were good.

CONS

Too many people competing for food, drinks, deck chairs and theater seats. The excursion to the Virgin Gorda baths had over 80 people and was a disaster.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Overall loved the Celebrity Apex ship with its beauty and design. Service was excellent, but sensed that some of the staff were burned out. Food was excellent overall in all the restaurants we experienced. Wine options in basic package could be improved. Too many people competing for basics which took away from the relaxing element. We went on three excursions which varied in quality and content. Preference is for more intelligent cultural depth content and experience versus crowds and souvenir shops.

FEBRUARY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Outstanding modern and upscaled ship with outstanding service. The Infinity stateroom that we had was the best stateroom out of all our past cruises because of the style and size of it.

CONS

No.

RECOMMENDED

No

This being our first Celebrity cruise after 35+ cruises on Royal Caribbean, it maybe hard to go back to Royal Caribbean. The reason being is the upscale of the ship with the classiness and design, as well as the outstanding service from the entire staff. The shows were some of the best we have seen. All the food venues that we used were some of the best of all our cruises, which reminded us of how the food used to be when cruising.

We just returned from a 7 night eastern Caribbean cruise and had a great time. The ship is beautiful and provided amazing views from our aft balcony stateroom. The crew is exceptional. Each crew member we encountered was professional, polite and performed above our expectations. Many of them frequently greeted us by name and helped us enjoy a spectacular vacation.

wonderful staff in all areas of the ship.Food varied with the restaraunts. My favorite was Le Petite Chef, Both program and food were wonderful. Found food at prime cut inedible

CONS

I didnot get into signing up several months after my friend. The travel said I was not eligable for on board ship credit,which i thought was not right. my friend paid #5,000 for her room and I payed 10,000 for the eaxct floor and room and was very far from the elevator

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Thought the advent was far more beautifully decorated. The staff were terrific was the fancy ding room to the upstairs cafeteria. Staff were always available to help. My cabin was 7281 and the cabin boy was terrific.

JULY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Beautiful ship; outstanding crew; excellent and diverse menus.

CONS

Can think of nothing!

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Celebrity Apex is a ship filled with beautiful art and sculptures that many people overlook or simply don't see because they're so involved in excursions and activities. Often people do the "Behind the Scenes" tour on the ship that takes them to the galley and the bridge for example. But very few people do the Art and Architecture tour the ship provides. They are really missing out! You'll see the ship through new eyes! We highly recommend it!

Had one on shore excursion that was not organized and we missed it!

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Destination Highlight: Iceland's Landscapes by Horseback. The people on the dock did not know which van should be taking us. I asked all the buses I saw and everyone I saw and no one could get us to the correct transportation. Immediately, I came back to excursions desks and reported but they did not refund our tickets. This was the one excursion my granddaughter had asked to do.

This was my first cruise with a bonus of “quilting” on board. I was so impressed with the staff and crews’ professionalism. It is clear to me Celebrity makes it a priority to train their staff/crew to a high level of exceptional service for their guests. Amazing food and offerings on board.

PROS

Clean, responsive and friendly staff, quiet sleeping with comfortable beds, excellent food and beverage choices.

CONS

Cosmopolitan food service. Excursions nothing to get excited about.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Server table assignments needs improvement. Many servers requesting the same drink or meal orders at once.Then there was nobody to follows up on menu requests like coffee service. Overall excursions disappointing. Excursion descriptions use words like woolen mill when in fact it was just a store not an experience. Or, interactive linen making. Not only did the demonstrator not know how to make linen, her talk was 5 minutes and threw a couple of threads around. Again misrepresenting the activity. Our tour guide was informative. Again, a lot of money to take us on a walk. We could have explored the ports better on our own with just transportation to get you out of the port.

Solo Travelers

APRIL

Star Star Star Star Star

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

Star Star Star Star Star

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.

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!

Star Star Star Star Star

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.

Celebrity Apex Jan 22 2022

Star Star Star Star Star

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

JANUARY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Excellent Food - including the Buffet

CONS

Shore Excursions

RECOMMENDED

Yes

<div>Generally this trip met or exceeded our expectations. The food at every venue was superb. And, the weather co-operated, and the seas were calm. With only about half the guests that the ship can carry, staff people were everywhere waiting to help make the trip good for us. They were most friendly and genuinely service-minded. The ship was spotlessly clean and COVID was not an issue - except for the short notice to get a negative test prior to sailing. On-board activities were uninspiring, and Park West had no Bellet pieces for us to bid on. Oddlhy, my wife Karen won a raffle and we got a (one-remaining Bellet for just the shipping fee!) Shore excursions were of such little interest that we opted only for one - which was just so-so. Enrichment lectures were few - except that Bates&#39; talks on her White House experiences were quite interesting but, unfortunately for her, sparsely attended. Merchandise in the shops was all high-end goods with price tags well above our pay grade. Facilities for Suite dwellers appeared to be quite nice - closed to us and most guests. Perks for us (Elite, Concierge) were limited and uninspiring. We regret your decision to eliminate the Library. Bar service was excellent. however, we had trouble finding good wines to drink with our dinner (we had the Classic Bev Package). On one occasion we paid extra for a drinkable wine. Chris (from Jamaica) was a superb bartender and he was fun to be around. He was good to us and seemed to understand our frustration trying to find drinkable wines. We live in CA where GREAT wines are everywhere and don&#39;t cost all that much. Likely the CA wineries are not on your radar. We like the new decks on the Veranda cabins (Edge and Apex) and the rollup windows are also nice - especially if you could figure out how to wash all the salt off so views through them would be enjoyable. The bed in our stateroom was VERY comfortable - equal to Crystal, our favorite cruise line. Celebrity has a lot of positive elements along with numerous opportunities to improve. Thank you for an enjoyable two weeks in the Caribbean.</div>

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

Star Star Star Star Star

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.
