I've previously sailed on the Equniox and thought it a much better ship. The Apex was beautiful, but not enough common areas to hang out to read a book or gather at a table to play a game. No promenade, no library, no ice bar. 14 decks compared to 19 on the Equinox, seems they took away common area for rooms. I appreciate we were only at 50% capacity, otherwise it would have been impossible to find seating, which was hard enough to do.
The food was good in the main dining rooms, sometimes a bit overcooked. Eden was outstanding, both in food and presentation. The activities were the same every day and with six days total at sea, it got old really quick. Very little upbeat music.
Tried the infinity balcony, it wasn't bad but I much prefer a regular balcony so I can peek/sneak out in the morning without disturbing my cabin mate. You could not open the blind to peek out at all.
