Celebrity Apex®, the second ship in our revolutionary Edge® Series, is a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Rated resort at sea. With an innovative outward-facing design and visionary spaces that stand apart from anything else at sea (with the exception of her equally stunning sisters, Celebrity Edge® and Celebrity Beyond℠ of course), Celebrity Apex will revolutionize the way you experience the world.
The best of Edge series has come to the Solstice class in this revamp of Solstice. A great itinerary of Bali & Australian ports. The best celebrity service on board from staff who remember you & your favourite requests. Can’t wait to see the other Solstice class ships get similar facelifts. Would definitely repeat this itinerary & any others on the Celebrity Solstice.
Celebrity Ascent is a beautiful ship but the set up for an Infinity Balcony spoilt it .The balcony is more like an extension to the stateroom. rather than a balcony We were 5 couples travelling together and in the past able to communicate with each other from our balconies which we weren’t able to do Being on a cruise round the Caribbean it would have been better to have an open balcony . I can understand it might be useful if sailing in bad weather but it spoilt our experience and several fellow passengers agreed with us. Also the Main Dining room was very very very dark and as there were 10 of us on a table it spoiled our enjoyment of dinner, not really being able to communicate very well with each other especially one of our party who wears hearing aids and lip reads.Excellent service and otherwise lovely surroundings Just a shame marred by these 2 issues.
Celebrity Solstice gad just undergone a major refurbishment when we sailed on her on 2nd March 2026.
Everything felt new and fresh.
The food was great in the main dining room, and the buffet was one of the best I've experienced on a cruise.
Entertainment was ok, nothing spectacular, but we still enjoyed it. The bars were never too busy, and we never waited more than 5 mins for a drink.
Balcony cabin was spacious and felt new after the refurb.
Staff very good in all areas.
This was our first time sailing with Celebrity, and we really enjoyed our Thailand-Vietnam cruise on Solstice.
A short 4 night cruise which we really enjoyed. Had an interior room which was more spacious than we thought it would be.
The food was really good with lots of choice.
The crew were all lovely and very helpful.
Lovely ship, and always something to do if you wanted to.
Beautiful ship, excellent facilities, lots of different activities to keep you entertained. Great shows, always some seats available in the theatre. Food was excellent in dining rooms and buffet.
We loved our family cruise to Alaska from Vancouver , it was a week long , & we saw such amazing places & wildlife , the food was good , & the entertainment good
Sailed around japan and south Busan and wow what a surreal trip. Tokyo is bonkers, the temples make you want to become a buddist and South Korea is an absolute hidden gem!!!!
Cruise was from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles visiting Grand Cayman, Cartagena, Colon, Puntarenas, Puerto Quetzal, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán. The main event was the coast to coast transit of the Panama canal. Excellent cruise. We did part of the transit as an excursion in a small pleasure boat the day before we did it on the Summit. It turned out great to have done it in two different ways.
