Celebrity Apex

Celebrity Apex is one of the EDGE Class ships in Celebrity’s fleet. Apex debuted during the Covid-19 Pandemic with sailings in Greece followed by sailings in the Caribbean and Europe. The Celebrity Apex features the iconic Magic Carpet deck that moves up and down the ship to offer experiences from a great bar on sea days, to awesome dinners under the stars as well as it serves as the tender platform when the ship anchors off the shore.

Booking

Inside room on Celebrity Apex

I booked Celebrity Apex in an inside cabin on a seven-night Western Caribbean itinerary with stops in the Bahamas, Mexico, Belize and Grand Cayman. I paid $2,100 for the sailing and was booked with all-inclusive amenities including Premium Drink Package, Premium Internet and Prepaid Gratuities. The package that I booked is no longer available, but you can still get the all-in package that includes basic alcohol, basic Wi-Fi and tips.

Inside Cabin Tour

I traveled to Fort Lauderdale the day before the cruise and used miles and points for the flight. I also stayed at a hotel near the airport using miles and points.

3. The awesome shore experience of the Western Caribbean Ports

The third thing that made my experience on Celebrity Apex enjoyable was having fun shore days in Western Caribbean ports of Bimini, Cozumel, Belize City and Grand Cayman!

I loved sailing to Bimini for the first time and getting to check out the beautiful beach and cool island experience.

In Cozumel I went to a beach club for the day and got to enjoy being outside in the sunshine with food and drinks. I lounged by the pool and spent time enjoying the amenities at the beach club.

One of the most enchanting aspects of sailing on Celebrity Apex was the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets at sea. There is something truly magical about witnessing the sky painted in hues of orange, pink, and purple as the sun rises or sets over the horizon. I was treated to awe-inspiring vistas that left us in awe of the natural beauty of the world. Whether we were relaxing on the deck with a refreshing drink in hand or gazing out from our balcony, these stunning moments were the perfect way to start or end each day on our cruise.

This entire fluff piece amounts to nothing more than an advertisement for your services. Why is this permitted on Boarding Area?
