Le Petit Chef, Eden and Dining on Celebrity Apex
Dinner on Celebrity Apex mixes included restaurants with real character and specialty venues worth booking ahead. The Main Restaurant changes its menus nightly, with early seating, late seating or your own time. Tuscan makes its pasta fresh each day, Cyprus leans on Mediterranean seafood, and Cosmopolitan serves new American cooking around a walk-through wine display.
Le Petit Chef turns dinner into a show. A 3D projection sends tiny animated chefs across your table in time with a multi-course menu. Eden, The Magic Carpet, Fine Cut Steakhouse and Raw on 5, a sushi restaurant with a menu by chef Yoshikazu Okada, also carry à la carte pricing.
Caribbean Winters from Port Canaveral, Fjord Summers from Southampton
From October to February, and again in April, Celebrity Apex runs seven-night round trips from Port Canaveral into the Caribbean. Calls change from one departure to the next, but Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic and Saint Martin are typical. A second loop heads west, where George Town in the Cayman Islands, Cozumel and Key West are among the stops you might see. In April she crosses the Atlantic on 13-night one-way voyages from Port Canaveral to Southampton or Amsterdam. Itineraries vary, but Bermuda, the Azores and Lisbon are typical stops.
Summer belongs to northern Europe. In July and August she sails seven-night Norway cruises from Southampton, where Ålesund, Flåm and Bergen are typical calls. From Amsterdam she runs seven-night fjord round trips between May and September; stops change, but Geiranger is one you might see. Amsterdam is also the home port for her 12-night round trips around Britain and Ireland. Ports vary from sailing to sailing, though typical calls include Liverpool, Belfast and Galway. Both ports add 12- to 14-night round trips too, where Copenhagen, Stockholm and Tallinn are among the possible stops.
Southampton sailings need no flight: most of Britain can reach the port by rail or road. For Port Canaveral, Amsterdam and her other departures abroad, we book the flights, the hotel either side and the transfers as one holiday, so a Caribbean week can include a Florida stay too.
She is one of Celebrity’s Edge Class ships, alongside others including Celebrity Edge, Celebrity Beyond and Celebrity Ascent. The Celebrity Cruises line page covers the rest of the fleet.
The Club, Craft Social and Spa Time Aboard Celebrity Apex
The Club changes with the hours: a games and creative space by day, live music and talk shows in the evening, then an adults-only nightspot after dark. Craft Social is a relaxed pub with a curated beer list, from award-winning international ales to crisp, ingredient-led brews. The Sunset Bar pairs live pop and folk with the view as the sun goes down. Drinks at her bars are charged separately unless you have a package, and Celebrity’s All Inclusive fare bundles a classic drinks package with basic Wi-Fi.
For quieter hours, the Solarium is an adults-only retreat for over-16s, with a three-dimensional art wall in ocean colours. The SEA Thermal Suite offers eight spaces in a modern take on the Turkish bath, and most guests buy a pass to use it. The Spa Café and Juice Bar sells healthy bites and fresh juices.
Celebrity Apex Cabins and Deck Plans
Her two standout choices each come with their own dining. AquaClass guests have Blu Restaurant for breakfast and dinner, with clean-flavoured, spa-inspired cooking. The Retreat is a private suite area with a personal butler, its own lounge, premium drinks and Wi-Fi, plus Luminae, where Daniel Boulud’s menus change daily. Open the Celebrity Apex cabins and deck plans to see where AquaClass and The Retreat sit on her decks.
