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 just came off the Apex sailing (4/23/22-4/30/22) and would like to comment on the entire experience. The ship is a marvel. The way it is laid out (the Edge class) made movement about the ship easy and not crowded. Granted we sailed less than capacity (2,200 out of 2,900). We were impressed with the way dining rooms were spaced. We had chosen Aqua class and enjoyed our breakfasts and ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Embarkation was quick and we were able to get right on the ship. We chose this cruise because we had cruised on this ship twice before and to join friends who had also cruised on this ship in the past. The itinerary was the same as most eastern Caribbean cruises but docked at San Juan at 2:00PM which suited us since we like to go for cappiccino coffee. The crew that we encountered were awesome! ...
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 ...
Full Disclosure, this was only my second cruise (first was on the Carnival Elation in Jan 2020). That being said, here are some thoughts.
First, the service was fantastic! From the cabin steward(Dedi was awesome) to the wait staff and everyone in between, it was a great experience. Some of the bar and dinning room staff seemed a little green, but we all were new to our jobs at one time. ...
