This was the 26th cruise for me and my husband and our third cruise on Celebrity. For reference, we have sailed on Norwegian, Princess, Carnival, and Royal Caribbean; but mostly RCI.
Embarkation: We arrived 15 minutes before our designated time of 11:30. Embarkation was very quick and we were on the ship within 15 minutes of arrival.
First Impressions: The Apex is a beautiful ship. It is still very clean and new looking. I didn't see anything that appeared to be worn. There are many places both inside and outside of the ship to sit and relax.
