The heart of the matter is that this category of room was TOTALLY mis-marketed. It should have NEVER been marketed as a Veranda; Instead it should have been marketed as a Premium Window stateroom and called something like 'Infinite Sunroom'. Anything but Veranda. They could have priced it as a Veranda but they should have never called it a Veranda Cabin.  

I wonder if Celebrity will ever fix this design faux paux.  Having a ship full of window cabins and NOT balconies seems like the Edsel all over again.

 

We love our balconies!  Window cabins not as much.

Don't get me wrong. I've been on the Edge twice and both times in an IV cabin. I love everything about the ship ( well the Spa needs a hot tub and better utilization of it's outdoor Deck- it's just an empty space,not even any lounge chairs!) And I even loved our IV cabins. But I have to be honest and repeat the IV is not a true balcony cabin. And yes when the window is down the cabin does eventually get warm and a little muggy.

What does origin (where from)  'world' mean ?

I am so ready for the new 2022 itineraries to come out and let us book.  I have had to cancel two Apex cruises, so I want another chance...

We are hoping that X will release the 2022 cruises early this year. Ready and waiting, too!

Just booked January 2022 on Apex to use FCC. Hopefully we will be able to cruise then. Did book Aqua Class to use up the FCC. It will be an IV so we will see how we like it. We are in the minority and think Blu is just ok but we love the heated loungers. So give and take. I am excited to be on a newish ship.

We are booked for Jan 29, 2022 hopefully things better than too.

I am really hoping they include Pelotons in the Apex gym. I am not sure I will be able to go a week without my rides.

I'm booked on the Apex for March, 2022. This was a lift and Shift from March, 2021.

May 1, 2021 TA for me, fingers crossed.  In an S3 Sky Suite, took this because of the large balcony, 104 SF.

We moved our reservation in May, so we were able to keep all the same.  I am afraid if I ever sail in a suite, I won't be able to move back!

 

i am anxious for sailing to start so we can get reports from those on her!

 

Our first cruise was a suite (magic upgrade), and we did not know yet what to compare it to, so wasted on us to some degree. Was very nice, but have not done a suite again

Just seen this on cruisemapper:

”Celebrity Apex current location is at North East Atlantic Ocean (coordinates 47.28985 N / -3.46497 W) cruising at speed of 11.4 kn (21 kph/ 13 mph) en route to SOUTHAMPTON. The AIS position was reported 2 minutes ago.”

Just wonder why she is going to Southampton?

Hang out with the RCG fleet south of Poole (between resupply runs into Southampton) - and perhaps the high COVID rates in France.

Arrival into Southampton can be seen on a map here:

Maybe- just maybe- X will start cruises to nowhere out of Southampton soon on board Apex- just a thought- my crystal ball is a bit cloudy this morning- so not really a clear sight...!

If only Cunard would send out their Queen Mary2 to do such journeys to nowhere out of Southampton.. I would be on board in a heart beat.

[Germancruiser]

I suppose this is the first time  in the history of X/ Chandris that the crew were the first to occupy the " good cabins" and no passengers on board since delivery  at all.

She seems to be docked for a long time for a simple resupply - maybe some staff changes as well.

The revolutionary #CelebrityApex arrived in Southampton yesterday. Jo Rzymowska, Celebrity Cruises’ Vice President and Managing Director EMEA, was there to welcome her and send you a special message.

So nice to see APEX ready for us!

[H2OH!]

Love the video- made me tear up a bit! 

 

We are scheduled for a January 16, 2021 cruise on Apex. Final payment is due soon but do not want to risk giving them more money at this point. Hoping some kind of announcement from Celebrity and CDC will be out before final payment.
