APEX! Any significant differences?

[VitaminSea53]

Does anyone know actual real differences between Edge and Apex or is it still just conjecture and wishful thinking?

One difference is there's two hot tubs in the Solarium. Shore Excursions and The I Lounge have swapped places. More shade and wind barriers at the Rooftop Garden.

Oh Apex- a ship ready to go for month and without a single passenger due to Corona- I suppose she has to enter drydock even before the Maiden Voyage in 2030. LOL.

Hi VitaminSea53!

There's a great website called Cruise Critic where you can find out all this info and more. This piece will hopefully answer your question: https://www.cruisecritic.co.uk/news/5023/

 

(Note this was written pre-Covid, but the features are still the same).

Haha!  Very good.  APEX will need to undergo the Revolution by the time she sails for the first time!  Gave me a good laugh!😄

Apex is the twin sister to Edge. There have been some changes/ additions which are discussed in this article:

In summary, Apex vs the Edge, from what we can see:

1)  Staterooms: More of them!

2)  Staterooms: Frosted IV folding door glass

3)  Staterooms:  Smaller furniture

4)  Bar replacement: Craft Social Bar with al a carte food offerings, replaces the casino bar

5)  Best dining in the fleet:  New menus ships wide, "more flavor focused" menus in the MDR and Eden, ever changing themes in the Eden, specialty restaurants will include more "elevated" cuts, expanded menu on the magic carpet, new le petite chef animation and an expanded partnership with Daniel Boulud 

6)  Best entertainment in the fleet: New production shows all around including the Eden

7)  Theater:  Better LED screen, lighting and shows

😎 More shade /wind-blockage

9)  Group fitness rooms:  Are larger yet the fitness center itself appears to be the same size as the Edge's

10)  Kids:  Expanded S.T.E.M program

 

Sure there's more, that appears to the top ten biggest chances announced
