A little about the cruise. Let's go again with Celebrity, this time - Celebrity Apex. In 2021 we went to the Caribbean on her older sister - Celebrity Edge.
From the Fort, after two days at sea, we arrive in Bermuda, then another 6 days at sea, and the port of Cobh in Ireland. After Ireland there are two ports in England, Portland and Southampton. This will be our fourth time in ...
We had decided to take this particular cruise , because it had the destination we wanted to visit- norway fjords, after crossing the Atlantic. I researched the the ship and most of the reviews were very good and based on my previous travel on celebrity line I was sure, i would enjoy it. I was wrong. The ship is beautiful and everyone who works on it think that they can do whatever they want, ...
Chose this cruise because of all the interesting stops. Took in many countries. Entertainment was top notch. Ship is beautiful. So much to do. Never a dull moment. Staff was very nice and helpful We did curling and archery that I had never done before. The entertainment that was so good at night also did a matinee on another day that was all new music. The more popular shows. We’re ...
We have sailed on Celebrity several times, and this was our third TransAtlantic cruise. We selected this particular ship and sailing for the ports of call. We have wanted to see different parts of the British Isles, and wanted to finish the cruise in the U.K. so we could stay in London for the Coronation.
BOTTOM LINE: If you want to skip to the high-level overview, this was an EXCELLENT cruise. ...
Background Information
This was our 4th Celebrity cruise (29th overall for me, 30th overall for my husband) - we'd previously sailed on Equinox (sister ship), Constellation, and Apex. We had cancelled a Bermuda cruise on Celebrity Summit in June 2022, so this cruise was what we rebooked instead. We had never done a Transatlantic cruise and all of the port stops were new for us.

My third transatlantic eastbound crossing and love the sea days - reading, sunning, casino, brilliant speakers. I was prepared that these single cabins have no drawer space. None! My steward, Dominick, rounded up extra hangers and underwear/socks stayed in packing cube.
I was prepared to dislike the infinity balcony but was surprised I liked it. I never closed the frosted French doors that ...
The ship older but very well kept. I've read reviews on the contrary . I don't agree. We thought it was very clean. the attendants in all areas were exceptional.
The shows we saw were good but i think younger audience may be disappointed in some of them. Husband loves the shows so he was happy .
Buffet was so great we only went to dinning room 1 time it was good as well.
the stateroom was ...
I sailed on the two week Celebrity Edge crossing in April 2023. It was my first celebrity cruise, and my first crossing, since Covid, so I’ve been away a while. The ship was only half full - 1400 guests, and almost that many crew on board. I believe there were literally only three kids on board, and perhaps four or five folks in their 20's. Definitely an older crowd.
Staff are professional ...
Our 15-day transatlantic cruise on the Celebrity Constellation from April 17 to May 2, 2023, was absolutely wonderful. We have been on about seven transoceanic sailings and maybe thirty total cruises on RCL, NCL, MSC, Holland, and Carnival. This is our sixth cruise since the industry opened up after the height of the pandemic.
Preparation: We booked an inside cabin with a fantastic RT airfare ...
Long time cruiser that has always wanted and looked forward to doing a transatlantic (TA) but with kids at home and in school the spring/fall sailings never worked for us. Fast forward to 2022.. both kids away at college so good opportunity to finally get to go on that first TA. However, with two kids in college we needed to find a deal to fit our budget. Even at a year out we found several ...
