We had two cruises canceled in the past two years due to COVID - a 14 day Mediterranean n June 2020 and a Thanksgiving 2021 cruise to Aruba. Since we had to use our cruise credits, we booked a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean in 2022, shortly after Carnival Inc completed its restart - or so they claimed.
The restart of service lags behind the k bel of service we previously expected from ...
We chose this cruise based on the ship and the length of time for the trip which was 12 nights. There were many good things about this adventure such as the solarium and the service…the staff really works hard to keep everyone happy. We ate at 2 specialty restaurants called Tuscan and Murano and the food and service was excellent…there were 4 in our group and we all felt the meal at Murano was the ...
I am being held captive on Celebrity Apex. I tested positive for Covid while on the ship. (I tested negative before getting on the ship.) I am quarantined to my stateroom. My wife (who tested negative) was moved to another room. BTW, there are no mask protocols for guests on this ship. It's as if Covid doesn't exist.
Eating room service is horrible. Their room service menu is the ...
This is our second cruise since the re-start of cruising. We choose the Apex because being a new ship and Celebrity Cruises loyal guests . This ship is absolutely beautiful and the service by the crew is outstanding. We were very well served by all, servers in the four main dining rooms, the bartenders our stateroom attendant. He spoke French so a big plus for us. The shows were very good and I ...
We’ve cruised all the major brands and offer the following Pros/Cons for Celebrity Apex versus the others. Also we have included a few suggestions to help you get the most of your cruise if you pick this ship. Overall we enjoyed the cruise but we were expecting more given the elevated price.
Pros:
1) Best embarkation….if you complete paperwork ahead of time the entire process takes 10 min ...
Very disappointing experience! We boarded the ship and went to the Retreat, as we had some questions pertaining to booked on-line ship experiences, that we had received no information on. An 'assistant' to the concierge attempted to assist us. I had questions regarding the Mixology 101 class that we booked, as well as our Deal or No Deal tickets. She informed us that the Mixology class was ...
We thought It was luxury but the rooms are small, the food nothing special and every thing else meh.
The extremely strenuous shore excursion was tennis shoes and a nature walk. Beyond disappointing.
So bad, will never cruise again and we are RCCL Diamond (close to Diamond Plus). We had 3 more cruises booked, cancelled them all.
We were aqua class, not worth it. Spa was packed all the ...
Love that RC is now on the west coast, so much closer to home. Booked as a mother daughter trip for her graduation. Upgraded as a surprise to a JS, even though not many perks apply to this level ship. Was not able to check in priority with the suites, was sent to main line, so one perk not honored. Check in guy said well this is close enough.Well that was a perk but ok. Once onboard you can tell ...
There were several issues, none of which were resolved even after talking with the manager.
The bathroom door was broken but never got fixed. The place to put your shampoo and conditioner was broken and never got fixed.
Got unlimited specialty dining and after the second burnt steak at Chops Grille, I gave up.
Who ever is running the sound for the Ice Games show needs to turn the sound ...
We have cruised many times on all the major cruise lines. We were on the Apex April 16-23, 2022. What a beautiful ship with unique, modern art work. We loved everything about it, the food, the entertainment, the service. We canceled three cruises during the height of the pandemic and it felt great to be cruising again.
Our cabin was 7218, midship. Very comfortable and quiet, never felt any ...
