There are 1,467 staterooms on the ship, and 81% of those staterooms feature a veranda, while 10% feature an ocean-view only. There are additionally 176 suites to choose from, and 178 connecting staterooms to choose from, both perfect options for groups of travelers or families. No, instead of focusing on overall sheer size of the ships, Celebrity focused on modern amenities and luxurious experiences when it came to Celebrity Apex.
Deck Seven
Experience a majestic, open, three-story venue inspired by the piazzas of Italy and the invigorating energy of everyone coming together to savor a taste of the good life. Home to our incredible specialty restaurants, along with our popular Martini Bar, Café al Bacio, and Craft Social Bar. Every effort is taken to deliver easy ship access and an unrivaled cruise vacation for our guests. When choosing an upcoming cruise for the 2021 or 2022 season, you can hardly go wrong with Celebrity Apex.
Southampton, England
The cabins have designer touches with bright colors and padded mattresses topped with duvets. The bathroom was rather spacious in my cabin with a glass shower stall, C.O. One of the most popular spots on every Celebrity ship, the Solarium has been reimagined by celebrated architect Tom Wright, who used the ocean as his inspiration for this adults-only sanctuary.

Expect the same renowned children’s and teen programming on Celebrity Apex that you find throughout Celebrity’s other ships. However, because Celebrity Apex’s godmother is the founder of Girls Who Code, that means there will be additional STEM classes and Girls Who Code-related programming available for kids. Celebrity Apex was originally scheduled to set sail in March 2020, debuting in Southhampton, complete with passengers, but the ship’s Caribbean sailings were put off due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The newest Celebrity cruise ship, Celebrity Apex, joined its sister ship, Celebrity Edge, the leading Edge-class ship, in the Bahamas in the fall of 2020 — but the ship’s arrival was slightly delayed.
No other ships in the Edge class have been announced, but two other unnamed ships are supposedly under order, for 2022 and 2024 arrivals. Edge-class ships purportedly cost $1 billion each, though Celebrity Beyond will certainly cost more, as the ship is planned to be about 10,000 GT larger than its siblings. In September 2018 was announced that the ship will be christened in Southampton England. On October 31, 2018, was held the keel-laying ceremony, attended by Richard Fain (RCCL's CEO and Chairman), Lisa Lutoff-Perlo and Laurent Castaing. During the keel-laying, a 762-ton hull block was lifted, a lucky coin was placed underneath, then the block was lowered again.
In the evening, the lounge transforms into "Eve at Eden", with more provocative entertainment (fusion of performance art, dining, and nightlife. During the day, "Le Grand Bistro" (in the Atrium on Deck 4) operates as patisserie and cafeteria serving French cuisine. The dinner experience includes visual mapping technology with animated 3D characters projected (from above) onto tables and on plates.

Followed a summer Mediterranean season with 7- to 12-night itineraries. "Destination Getaway" is a dedicated embarkation point when the platform is positioned at its lowest level (Tendering Deck 2). The structure repositions and transforms into a new venue depending on which deck is locked.
This brand-new ship certainly stands apart from many of Celebrity’s older vessels, but then also comes with unique features that you won’t even find on the still-new Celebrity Edge. Entertainment slated to appear on Celebrity Apex once it does begin sailing include musical shows, like Rockumentary, which features hit classics from the history of rock n’ roll, as well as Tree of Life, which features ballet and aerialists. If you’ve had your eye on this cruise ship for a while, and can’t wait to sail aboard Celebrity Apex once the ship finally does open for passenger sailings, here’s everything you need to know. Due to the global COVID crisis, in March 2020, Celebrity decided to take a "Virtual Delivery" of the vessel via video conference with the shipyard's officials.
Deck Five
Passengers can't simply ride on the Magic Carpet (using it as an elevator). In each location, the "moving lounge" is safely locked, then guests are allowed to step onboard. The Celebrity ship Apex introduces new dining menus developed by Cornelius Gallagher (3-star Michelin chef). Also new is the fleet's first Craft Social Bar - selling premium wines (by the glass), a large selection of craft cocktails and 50+ craft beers (including several rare brands). The sports facilities are complimentary, including the pickleball equipment (net, paddles, balls) but operated with separate scheduled playing times for adults and families (with kids older than 6). While on older vessels the pickleball courts are either on the Sports Deck or at the Multi-Sports Court, on the EGDE ships pickleball is played at the Rooftop Garden.
During every performance, the 180-foot LED screens pumped visual energy throughout the space, and can even open up to reveal additional stage areas for theatrical performances. The Thermal Suite in the spa was exactly where I wanted to be while winding down my initial jet lag upon boarding in Athens. The heated daybeds facing the windows were pure therapy for my body, especially after spending time in the sauna, steam areas, salt room, and crystalarium (where Amethyst crystals help to detox the skin and body). Toward the end of my cruise, I booked a hydrafacial to help unravel the sun’s effects on my face after ten days in the Greek and Croatian islands.
Celebrity Apex will change the way you shop on vacation—no matter where in the world you travel. Passengers looking for features like waterslides or climbing walls will have to look elsewhere, and while Apex is open to families -- even offering a solid kids club and programming -- it's not designed with activities aimed to thrill children. The Apex’s Theatre is an eye-popping space with a 20-foot-tall 4K LED screen comprised of 17 million pixels that curve 110 feet around the stage, but, sadly, the entertainment on it doesn’t live up to the promise of the magnificent room. Party on at The Club, where you might catch 80s music one evening and an original live performance another night.
The Celebrity iLounge gives guests computer tutorial classes and is also a representative of Apple, providing access to the most affordable Mac products available at duty-free prices. Another feature of Celebrity Apex is the AquaSpa cafe, ideal for a quick lunch after the spa. Celebrity Apex has a total of 11 bars and lounges, including Eden Lounge, Cafe al Bacio, The Club, Sunset Bar, Theatre Bar, Casino Bar, Martini Bar, Pool Bar, Il Secondo Bacio, The Retreat Pool Bar, The Retreat Lounge. Celebrity Apex offers "Celebrity Select Dining" (your-time dining for dinners) option, which is renamed to "Celebrity Select Dining Plus".
The most lively place on board can be found at the back of the ship, here is the Eden. You will also hear many sounds of animals and there will be various performances by acrobats. Spacious two room suites feature a large living and dining area with floor to ceiling panoramic windows. Split bathroom arrangement offers a powder room, a separate spa tub/shower area, and a master dressing area with dual sink and vanity, and a full wardrobe. Celebrity Suites are located close to the Retreat with a private restaurant, exclusive lounge, and a private pool area complete with its own pool bar.
The Celebrity Apex Retreat experience encompasses private and exclusive dining, a lounge and splendid sundeck, aimed at giving suite passengers seclusion and comfort. Apex also excels at innovation, with unique features like the heralded Magic Carpet, a cantilevered platform that juts from the side of the ship and can move up and down depending on its use. At the lowest deck, it serves as a gateway to ports, making embarkation and debarkation easy. On other decks, it's a restaurant or bar space with unparalleled views.
Eden is a 3-deck high (aft-location on decks 4, 5, 6) lounge-bar-restaurant venue with live music and shows programming changing throughout the day. Eden Lounge measures m3 ( ft3) and covers a total area of 1175 m2 (12650 ft2). Grand Plaza's cafes are the perfect choice for "coffee breaks" - from morning cappuccino to afternoon tea and pre-dinner cocktails - while enjoying live entertainment. In the evenings, Grand Plaza transforms into the ship's social hub with live music performances. Celebrity Cruises' onboard activities, bars, lounges and clubs features the Cellar Masters wine bar and Sky Observation Lounge. Veranda Staterooms face aft and include the added luxury of outdoor space to enjoy sweeping ocean panoramas.
Perfectly designed Sky Suite offer a blend of expansive views and intimate luxury. These large suites feature a king-sized bed from our signature Cashmere Bedding CollectionSM that faces outward for views of the great outdoors, a sitting area, with a signature Kelly Hoppen wooden rocker, and a spacious, private veranda. The split bathroom features a large spa tub with shower and a sliding panel that allows views to the room and the ocean beyond. If you’ve traveled on one of Celebrity’s Solstice-class ship before, you’ll immediately notice that all of the veranda staterooms are 23% larger on Apex than they are on Solstice-class ships, including 10% more space in the staterooms’ bathrooms.
