This ship/ line isn't for us. We like a little more activity.....water slide, rope course, rock climb, mini golf, b ball court, etc. This is a laid back relaxing cruise ship.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
easy peasy. Got to emb at 1:30. Not one other passenger in sight. I asked where is everyone. They said they are already in board.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
4 main dining rooms. All
restaurants offered the same things but also each restaurant offered 3 of their own type of starters and entrees.
Didn't feel the need to go to any speciality restaurant.
Liked the buffet with the many options, but food was bland.....like other ships. Can't unspice your food.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Saw 2 people in the gym all week and I think they were the show crew.
Loved the drawing classes.
Nothing was crowd as we sailed at 50 percent.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Singers not so good. Caravan circus type show pretty good.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
They're trying hard to please, but some still miss the mark.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
Cleanliness good. Ship layout not to my liking. Decor was dull grey.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Cabin 12233 seemed smaller than other lines. Had the enclosed balcony. Didn't like it. Window opened down half way to meet the stationary bottom half. When opened, the a/c went off. We were told to not leave the window open when we were not in the cabin. This type of balcony was very small. It also had a steel roof extending past the balcony therefore we never got any sun. ☹️ Would not choose this type balcony again.
Ship tip
Be prepared to relax, sit by pool, or drink on deck 4. Not much physical activity on this ship.
We loved Apex. I agree everyone has there own style. Not a fan of the infinite balcony. We loved the retreat. Really enjoyed the entertainment. We go beetween royal and Celebrity. Best of both worlds
Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Haven't experienced that type of balcony yet but there seems to be more negative reviews than likes.
yea... I remember a post in December describing the luve music around the ship as elevator music... that was my experience... but that production show was something else.. thanks for review
Appreciate your detailed review. Sometimes it is as important to eliminate cruise ships/lines as it is to find the one you like best. Glad you enjoyed your cruise even if it wasn’t your “style”.
