Review summary

This itinerary is one of the best itinerary. It would be the best if we are allowed to visit St Petersburgh. We enjoyed most ports (although we missed St Petersburgh) and will not hesitate to revisit these ports again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was at Rotterdam Cruise Terminal. Everything went smoothly. There were no issues. Got to our room before lunch.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was great. We did not find the need to try the specialty restaurants.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The fitness center is huge and well equipped. I used it daily and really loved it.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We enjoyed all the shows.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff went out of their way to make sure that you had what you need and enjoyed your cruise.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The design is the same as the other Edge class ship. in this cruise, we did not use the outdoor spaces as much as we like to due to the cold weather. Anyway, it would be nicer if Apex has a whirlpool inside the thermal suites as in the Edge.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We changed to an Aqua Sky Suite and the room is spacious and clean. The bed and pillows are very comfy. We had been in the Edge infinite balcony room in which the balcony space is a part of the room and is usable. We will not mind to stay in either room.
