We have sailed Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Princess, NCL, Carnival. People always say what is your favorite ship - I respond "the ship I am on." However APEX is now my FAVORITE ship - food, service, ship design - just over the top.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Took about 5 minutes - amazingly quick - even with covid protocols
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
All were exceptional - Luminae as part of suite perk was amazing - service and food beyond compare. Eden and Le Petite Chef were excellent and even the buffet was outstanding - a large variety and excellent quality - best food ever on all of our cruises
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
pools and thermal suite - main pool so large and never felt crowded
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Most excellent - talent there - some of the production shows a little "artsy" I guess I am used to old fashioned reviews - song and dance - the theater had EXCELLENT sight lines - no poles and the HUGE LED screen as the backdrop on the stage was unreal - images appeared to be 3D
Children's Programs
No children with us
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All beyond compare. Richie, Maria, and Dino in Luminae were always eager to please and never could do enough for us. Our retreat host Al - also the best - flowers, wine, cake, chocolate covered strawberries and balloons were all in our cabin after dinner one evening
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Artwork on ship - classy - very clean - so many touchless things on ship - like bathroom and buffet hand washing stations
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Sky Suite - loved it - spacious, plenty of storage, loved app on phone for lighting, opening cabin door, temperature, remote control for tv, lighting and even opening and closing the drapes - WONDERFUL!!!!
Ship tip
If you can afford a suite - the service is beyond compare and the retreat areas are lovely - worth every penny spent - we had cruises held during covid so used 3 of those to pay for Sky suite for a back to back -
Went to Coral Beach Club - waters were wonderful - they were not ready for us - we paid for 2 umbrellas - they ran out - and so they gave us a cabana!!!!!! was great
