Review summary

The Apex is the whole experience. We’ve cruised the Eastern Caribbean several times previously, and the ports have not fully recovered from the long shutdown as a result of COVID-19. Old inventory- lack of inventory- many shops have closed and have not yet Re-opened. Although the ports were less vivacious than they once were, it was nice to “get away” on the lovely Apex- the ship, the service, and the entertainment was fabulous!

Redundant COVID-19 Screening. I guess that’s a good thing!

Not too special for me- I had a bad parking experience ten years ago, and I made a vow to never spend another dollar there. I kept my promise.

St. John's, Antigua

3 out of 5
Not much of a duty free shopping mall.

Castries, St. Lucia

3 out of 5
We were disappointed with this port in St. Lucia. We visited before, and that port was totally different, in a good way.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

3 out of 5
Nice port - friendly people - a stroll around the town was enjoyable.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
After awhile, we offloaded. Two other ship arrived earlier than the Apex. The port authority was understaffed. Other than that it was smooth and organized.
