Review summary

The cruise was enjoyable, but I don't think I would ever cruise on the APEX again. Just didn't have the amenities I enjoy - nighttime movies and too many kids around the pool because they didn't have an area for themselves with a pool.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food was excellent, but if you are a non-drinker you did get snubbed and have limited choices during the evening.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Only one outdoor pool for all guests, children included - became very crowded on sea days.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Magician was very good, but the stage shows were okay (singers too screechy). No nighttime movies except one night - not much to enjoy if you are not a gambler or drinker.

Ship tip

If you want to relax and like music - it is a great ship. If you don't want to see kids all day everyday - not your ship.

We did the cave tubing tour - which was an amazing experience. But the island did not seem very inviting from what we saw.

Cozumel, Mexico

The storms have really destroyed the beaches and atmosphere in Cozumel. Went on a open-top tour and beach stop. Tour was informative, but we were taken to an area where the shop owners were very aggressive and a bit off-putting! Beach was filled with seaweed and just dirty feeling.

We went on a relaxing beach day that included lunch, beach chairs and access to the water. Celebrity's area was mostly covered in shade and quite cramped.

Celebrity normally doesn't have a lot of kids except school holidays. For a guaranteed kid free experience, try Virgin.

Avoid cursing during school break and eliminate the kid problem. I was on the Apex in February and there were less than a dozen kids on the entire ship. Celebrity isn’t really kid friendly, so I feel for those whose parents drug them along.
