Editorial Summary

The creators provide a comprehensive review of the food and dining experiences aboard the Celebrity Apex following a seven day sailing. They evaluate various dining options including the Ocean View cafe buffet, the four main dining restaurants, the poolside Mast Grill, and several specialty venues such as Eden, Le Petit Chef, Raw on Five, and L Grand Bistro. The reviewers note that the buffet features individual serving islands and crew members who serve the food rather than guests serving themselves. They highlight the high quality of specialty dining, specifically praising the attention to detail in service and the creative culinary concepts. While they mention some minor drawbacks, such as certain dishes lacking desired spice levels or specific menu limitations, they conclude that the dining on Celebrity Apex lives up to the brand's reputation for elevated food. The creators ultimately rank the buffet as one of the top three they have experienced in over one hundred cruises and reveal that their single best dish of the entire trip was the braised oxtail found at the buffet.
