Barcelona Celebrity Apex Cruise Reviews

This was our first Transatlantic, second time on the Apex and over 10th time on Celebrity. The ship is beautiful, huge and was crowded all the time. In that regard, we were so happy that we booked a sky suite. The retreat was our haven on all sea days, and for pre dinner drinks, and afternoon snacks. But for those in a suite, your "butler" with a new title, is now a cabin attendant with a ...

This was our first time on a Celebrity ship and it was a great experience. Everything was top notch especially the entertainment and the cabin. Really enjoyed walking the figure-eight track and the stabilizers are fantastic. I really think some of the criticism I’ve read in these reviews is not accurate. We would definitely choose this ship again. The lectures were very interesting and were part ...

On a transatlantic cruise on celebrity apex. I’ve been on almost 2 dozen cruises. Celebrity was one of my favorites, Oceania being my favorite for bang for you buck. First my positives the food is delicious. The entertainment is great. Getting juice or pastries in the morning is extremely hard as they will stop at a table next to you and completely ignore you or stop by your table and giving ...

We had to change rooms three times due to noise above our cabin. Theater was too small for the number of guests on board. My wife and I had to sit apart due to lack of seats. Too many people with long lines everywhere. The infinity balcony was a large window that opened halfway. Very disappointed in design of ship. In Oceanview cafe seats were hard to get and we returned to our cabin to eat. ...

THE FOOD: The food on this ship was, overall, the best I've seen in 30 years of cruising. Even the Oceanview (buffet) was great. Not every single item was to my liking, but there was always something delicious available to eat. We ate at Blue, Luminae, Eden and Raw on 5, and Oceanview, and every meal I had was ranked from good to great. The crab cake and beef wellington in Eden are the best ...

I'm a bit overdue in posting this but I got sidetracked... Embarkation: Very good I love sailing from Barcelona. It's a great sail-away port, easy to get to and has beautiful views of the city. We stayed in Barcelona for four-night s pre-cruise and had an excellent time. Embarkation was smooth, easy, and well executed. Within 20 minutes we were on board Apex. The Ship: Very good ...

Six seniors (70+) from AZ & WA state again cruising together. First time since Oct 2019. Fortunate to be on the only Celebrity Transatlantic with passengers, in spite of warnings and caution from friends and family we decided to cruise on this sailing and are so glad we did. The Apex, brand new, began passenger service June of 21 so only 4 months in use. 3300 Capacity – 1225 on our ...

Overall, we really enjoyed this cruise. We have never booked a transatlantic cruise, so this was a first for us. We sailed with about 1200 guests due to COVID restrictions, all US passport holders. Smooth sailing for 2 weeks and the service was extraordinary. Ship is new and spectacular! Ports were very restrictive due to Covid, masks required everywhere for the first week and then, after negative ...

The Apex is a beautiful ship, but it has short comings in some key areas important to onboard life. First is the infinite balcony. Yes it adds space to the cabin but it has too many design flaws. You can't open the window without shutting down your AC, and when you sit in the chairs and look out, there is a broad metal bar in the middle of your view. Cabins were good with good storage. Our ...
