Review summary

Like the Edge the Apex is an elegant newer ship. You have your choice of 4 (included with your fare) restaurants as well as a few premium selections. The buffet has a wide variety of food as well. The shows were excellent propelled by the latest technology. With a physically challenged person we were limited as to which shore excursions we could go on. There are plenty to choose from. We had a nice relaxing time...I even came out ahead from the casino!

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
The buffet was fine with a good variety of food. We dined primarily at the Normandy restaurant and were very well taken care of.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We did a few of the activities...no pool. Disappointed there was no bingo.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We were a bit disappointed as 3 of the shows were identical to the ones on the Edge cruise we took 14 months ago. They were excellent though and nice to see again. The comedian was hilarious!

Children's Programs

no traveling with children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our cabin steward was awesome as were all the dining staff. I cannot recall a single person that worked on the ship that were not courteous to us.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
It is, short of a few pieces of artwork and the entry to Eden, identical to the Edge. The crew went out of their way to make sure everything was wiped down.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Overall a nice cabin...only thing is not much room between the end of the bed and the wall...especially with the TV mounted there. The bathroom was good.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
No tour here...we just got off and walked around the shops. Only complaint is the pier is VERY long and was tough on the physically challenged. My suggestion to Celebrity is to have golf carts to shuttle people back and forth.

Belize City, Belize

3 out of 5
Did a city tour...Belize City is pretty impoverished which surprised us.

Cozumel, Mexico Did not visit port

Been there before

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Did a nice Island tour...now I can say I've been to Hell and back.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Had a good breakfast...short wait to be called...luggage was right there...then short line for the bus to the airport.

Good, detailed review but curious why food and dining only got 1 star. Was food quality not good?
