Creator's Key Takeaways

I finally understood why some people never go back to mass market cruising. I know that I wouldn't want to given a choice.

Premium cruising doesn't try to overwhelm you into having a good time. It just removes friction.

The spa might have been the favorite part of the entire ship for me. This is by far probably the most beautifully designed spa I've ever been to.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Buy a thermal pass for the spa before boarding to get a discount.
βœ“Take advantage of the complimentary dining as it is high quality and makes specialty dining feel optional.

7 days on Celebrity Apex completely changed how I see cruising. In this full Celebrity Cruises review, we sail on a Caribbean cruise from Orlando and visit Puerto Plata, San Juan, and St. Kitts while experiencing what premium cruising actually feels like onboard Celebrity Apex. From the beautiful design and over 4,000 pieces of art to the incredible spa, Eden, The Retreat, Raw on 5, Fine Cut Steakhouse, rooftop sunsets, live music, entertainment, and surprisingly good complimentary dining, this cruise felt completely different from mass market cruising. Even with the cheapest inside cabin onboard, Celebrity Apex delivered one of the most relaxing and premium cruise experiences I’ve had so far. The luggage I'm using throughout this cruise is from Level8. I've found it durable, lightweight, and ideal for cruise travel.
