Review summary

I have cruised Celebrity before, and booked this cruise for myself and 3 girlfriends, who have never cruised on Celebrity before. They are still raving about how great everything was. The crew, the port staff, the excursions, all so organized and seamless. Loved it, want to go back on the Apex!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
4 main dining rooms, all of which we tried for dinner, all great, but Normandie was the favorite. The buffet was great. We chose not to do specialty dining, but hear they're all great, as well.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I won a trivia contest, but didn't get my prize!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The EDEN PLAYERS, and the regular entertainment staff were so very wonderful! Great variety of shows in the Theatre, the club and Eden. Enjoyed them all so very much! Rockumentary was a favorite.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Marc, our room steward was wonderful! So were Sudha, Rex, Maga, all the guys at Eden bar.. and Sara, our waitstaff at the coffee cafe and in the theatre was fabulous. Also, a shout out for Nando, who was our waiter at Normandie. He served us beautifully, wirh grace, style, and panache!

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
we were 4 ladies, using 2 cabins, we were so very happy not tyo have to share a bed. Cabin was spacious enough, enough hanging space in closet, bathroom was convenient, and larger than the one when we cruised Celebrity Summit.

Ship tip

write down names of staff members who go out of their way to make your experience a great one.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
the terminal was very nice, although all we did was walk through it to the gangway. We were able to board our ship immediately upon arrival.

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
Have not been to Key west in over 50 years. really enjoyed the hop on, hop off trolley.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
The merchants at this port tend to be a bit aggressive, but I guess that's part of the deal when you travel. Everyone was very nice, and our visit to Cacao factory was wonderful!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
First time ever disembarking with luggage, was easy and would recommend to anyone that has a short time until flight from the port city.
