I Cruised on Celebrity Apex – Here is Why it Isn't as Good as Beyond and Ascent!

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides a comprehensive review of the Celebrity Apex, evaluating its design, accommodations, dining, and amenities. The ship is noted for its modern architecture, specifically the Grand Plaza and the functional orange Magic Carpet. While the Infinite Veranda staterooms are well designed, the creator notes limitations regarding air conditioning and wardrobe space. The review details a class based system ranging from standard fare to the prestigious Retreat, which offers exclusive dining and lounge access. Dining options are described as a highlight, featuring five main dining rooms and various specialty venues like Fine Cut Steakhouse and Eden. However, the Rooftop Garden Grill received criticism for underwhelming food quality relative to its price. Entertainment is praised, particularly the high tech production shows in the theater. The creator observes that while service is generally excellent, it can occasionally feel impersonal. The review concludes that despite high costs for drink packages, Wi-Fi, and spa treatments, the Celebrity Apex offers a top tier premium cruising experience through its exceptional design and culinary variety.
