A Sea Day Reveals the Truth About Celebrity Cruises

Creator's Key Takeaways
A sea day is the real test of any cruise ship: the pool deck gets busier, the buffet has to cope, entertainment matters more, and the ship itself has to be good enough.
Me, Raw on 5, was the best Japanese style restaurant I've tried at sea. Not just good for a cruise ship good, actually good.
Celebrity didn't win the sea day by throwing almost every activity at me. It won because I could build exactly the day that I wanted.
The buffet turns into Hunger Games cruise ship edition. Elbows out, eyes on the croissants. No prisoners.

Is Celebrity Cruises boring, or is Celebrity Apex actually one of the best cruise ships for a sea day? In this Celebrity Apex sea day review, I tested what Celebrity Cruises is like when there are no ports, no excursions, no beach day, and nowhere to hide. A sea day is the real test of any cruise ship: the pool deck gets busier, the buffet has to cope, entertainment matters more, and the ship itself has to be good enough. I spent a full sea day on Celebrity Apex in the Caribbean, from sunrise on deck to Spa Café breakfast, Oceanview Café, the pool deck, Eden Café lunch, the thermal spa, an art and architecture tour, The Retreat, dinner at Raw on 5, the Crystallize show, and a proper open-deck Celebrity party. This is my honest look at whether Celebrity Apex passes the sea day test, and whether Celebrity Cruises is too quiet, too boring, or actually the perfect balance of calm, premium design, good food, spa time, entertainment, and nightlife.
