We tried Rooftop Garden on Celebrity Apex to see if this specialty dining experience is really worth the extra money. We hadn’t done a Rooftop Garden Grill video on the Celebrity Apex in quite some time, so we decided it was time for an updated 2025 review just for you. This dinner was during our transatlantic cruise on Apex, on a beautiful evening while we were docked in Bermuda, timed perfectly with sailaway so it wasn’t too windy or chilly. In this video, we show you the setting, the menu, what we ordered, what we loved, what we didn’t love, and how the experience compares to past rooftop dinners on the Edge-class ships. We walk through: • The current Rooftop Garden Grill menu (appetizers, salads, sides, grilled favorites, smoked meats, premium cuts) • Our starters – caprese salad, the “Joy salad” watermelon & feta version, and those surprisingly fantastic wings • Our mains – barbecued chicken, branzino, sides like mac & cheese, dirty rice, and the famous cream corn • Honest thoughts on dessert (including the peach cobbler we don’t recommend!) • A special moment with our server Julius, whose wife Mary has been our butler on past cruises • Pricing (around $55 plus 20% gratuity) and how discounts work • Tips on getting a discount, when to book, and how Elite / Elite Plus perks come into play If you’re sailing on Apex and wondering whether Rooftop Garden Grill is worth trying, I hope this gives you a clear picture of the experience in 2025 and helps you plan your specialty dining nights.
