We had one HUGE problem with the New Celebrity Apex Cruise Ship (Our Honest Review)
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators provide a detailed review of their four night sailing on the Celebrity Apex, highlighting both significant successes and notable frustrations. They praise the ship for its seamless embarkation and disembarkation processes, as well as its innovative design and high quality dining options, specifically mentioning the Tuscan restaurant and the extensive buffet. The entertainment is described as immersive and varied, featuring impressive production shows and unique activities like a Deal or No Deal game. However, the reviewers identify several drawbacks, including unreliable internet connectivity, slow casino service due to the removal of the casino bar, and unexpected early casino closures. They also note that pools and hot tubs do not remain open late. The most significant issue discussed is a strict new policy regarding beverages in the pool and hot tubs. Unlike other ships in the fleet, the Celebrity Apex requires all drinks to be in enclosed tumblers with lids, a rule the creators found inconsistent and frustrating for passengers. Despite these issues, the creators conclude that the ship is beautiful and they would sail on it again if they brought their own tumblers.
