YouTube Video Description

We filmed this dining experience at Raw on Five on the Celebrity Apex, recorded on the last night of our 13-day transatlantic crossing on October 31, 2025. This is likely the most updated Raw on Five review on YouTube for the Apex, and we go through the full menu, prices, small plates, large plates, rolls, sashimi, seafood towers, and our favorite dishes—plus discounts like Elite Plus (15%) and Zenith (25%), and how the four-course option works if you want to share plates like we do. We also highlight a special moment with our favorite server Julius, who recognized us from previous sailings, and sent a heartfelt message home to his family. Such a great part of the cruise experience. Whether you're sailing Apex soon or just exploring Celebrity’s specialty dining options, I hope this helps you plan your meals onboard.
