Creator's Key Takeaways

We are Kathy and Tim and we retired in 2023 and sold everything and now we travel the world by air, land, and sea.

We're taking a transatlantic from Florida to Barcelona and it has been a treat, let me tell you.

This is the biggest interior cabin we've ever been in, and it's the biggest cruise bathroom that we've ever had.

Would you sell Celebrity Apex again in a heartbeat? In a heartbeat.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go straight to the shore excursion desk when you get on board to find hidden spots for excursions.
Read the daily discount cards you find on your bed each night.
Get to Eden shows early, at least an hour before, to get a good seat.

Need for reservations in main dining roomsYou do not need reservations; you can walk in anytime with hardly ever a wait.
Noise in cabins at ship endsCabins at the ends of the ship can be noisier; consider a cabin in the middle.
