Creator's Key Takeaways
Celebrity Apex has some of the best included food at sea. Yep, that's a big claim, but after spending week eating my way through every complimentary dining venue on board, I'm ready to defend it.
If berries are free flowing on a cruise ship, the rest of the food is going to be good.
Spa Cafe wins on food. Eden Cafe wins on the setting.
