Southamptons port was clean. Staff was friendly and informative. Took a total of 10 mins before we were on board the beautiful Celebrity Apex.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Spectacular food and drinks on board. Eden and Rooftop grill get special mentions!!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Stayed mostly at the pool never really did much activity which was our goal!

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Loved the guest’s performers. Special shout out to: Barricade boys, Shamerock tenors, and Nik Page! Production cast needs some revamping. Loved the dancers and ideas behind the shows. Singers were not good. More shouting than singing.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Celebrity cruises always has exceptional captains and crew. Everyone on the ship is lovely, warming and incredibly kind. They make you feel special on Celebrity.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Loved Apex layout felt cozy modern with hints of beautiful colors. Never a dirty or smelly. Pool area was always spot on. Restaurants were spotless and ambiance was always inviting.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Stunning, clean, roomy. Bathroom was a lovely nice size. Storage was great as well. I do not mind the infinite veranda gives the room much more space. Except a balcony will always be a balcony. How ever I would book the room again.

Ship tip

Enjoy relax. Ship is modern and sharp. Crew is wonderful and will help you out with anything. Food and drink you won’t be disappointed!

Disembarkation
