Creator's Key Takeaways

So, we're on the Celebrity Apex and so far it's really amazing.

We were indeed falling in love with the Apex.

Okay, so at this point we completely realize Celebrity has up their entertainment game.

The service is spectacular.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book the Retreat for a premium experience.

✓Be aggressive about getting to shows at The Club on time.

✓Try the thermal spa while in port when it's less crowded.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Crowds and kids — The Celebrity Apex is not a 'theme park' ship; the atmosphere is sophisticated and adult-oriented.

Small bathrooms — The bathrooms on this ship are surprisingly large, comparable to hotel bathrooms, and include a tub.

Sitting with strangers — You are seated near others to socialize, but you don't have to eat every meal with the same large group.
