I would definitely do a cruise again and on the Apex. I personally wouldn't do a Christmas cruise again because I was hoping it would feel more "christmasy" than it was. There were some beautiful decorations and piped in music, but it's just my preference that I'd like more Christmas. Other than that, the cruise was wonderful!

Easy breezy embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
All food and drinks were amazing. All food, at all establishments was great and I didn't have issues finding something I liked everywhere we went. Speciality restaurants were extraordinary.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
I enjoyed all the activities I participated in. We happened to be cruising during a bad week of weather so I think they needed to adjust some things that may have been planned for outdoors.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The Tree of Life and Rockumentary were really good. Crystallize could've been a little more creative with choreography. Seemed pretty basic, when there's an abundance of great coreography out there in the world right now. Friends I was with, said all entertainment on this ship was SO much better than any other ship they'd been on. This was my 1st cruise so I don't have the comparison. Soultown was a lot of fun & very talented.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The abundance of ship staff was amazing. I don't know if you could go 25 feet and not see someone working, or saying hello, or asking if you needed anything. Very attentive and great service in every aspect.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship was beautiful and very well cleaned & maintained.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
It was a great room. As a single room, nothing more was needed. Loved having the infinite veranda even if I didn't have the best view, with the tops of the lifeboats outside my window.
Thanks for the great review. I agree about an onboard Christmas. Even though they decorate and try to make it feel like Christmas, it's just not the same.
Welcome to the wonderful world of cruising. Glad you enjoyed your first cruise with friends that could show you the way. You will probably hear some fellow passenger reviews that may complain that your sailing was “too Christmasy”.
