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.

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!

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.

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.
