Creator's Key Takeaways

It's our first time with Celebrity and we're really impressed. Loved it. Fantastic. Loved it. It is a fantastic fantastic staff are amazing.

The food was beautiful. We had everything on. You have a couple of menus that you can choose from. One where the animation goes along with it.

Honestly, that was the easiest embarcation and disembarkcation we have ever done on a cruise ship. We literally pressed the lift, didn't we?

Drinks are very expensive. They're the most expensive drinks that we've ever had on a cruise line.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Just know in Belgium you need a euro to use most public bathrooms.
Keep an eye out around the main hub area near the Martini Bar because they're giving cocktails away for free.
Don't believe a lot of reviews a lot of the time. Just go and try it for yourself because it's down to personal preference.

👉https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9mYfIMTsl4Q84cYQsedc7EPDGbcByT_D&si=8gmxvSibm0qkQDXR It’s our final day on board the Celebrity Apex and we’re making the most of it with a magical day trip to Bruges, Belgium! 🇧🇪 We start with breakfast at the buffet before heading into Bruges to explore this stunning fairytale city. From wandering the cobbled streets to a relaxing canal boat ride, it was the perfect way to soak up the charm. We visit the famous Market Square, enjoy a refreshing beer flight at The Historian overlooking the square 🍻, and then return to the ship for one last unforgettable evening. Dinner tonight is at Le Petit Chef, an incredible immersive dining experience and easily both mine and David’s favourite restaurant on the Apex! 👨‍🍳✨. We realise that we have been missing out on free cocktails 😕. To wrap up, I take you through the smooth and simple disembarkation process, and reveal exactly how much we spent onboard during our cruise.
