@@SuiteNatured hi we are booked onto a celebrity Apex cruise on the Mediterranean. Quick question does celebrity offer a free transfer from the boat into a city centre or do you have to book onto an excursion? From experience from other cruise lines, for example, when visiting Porto, the cruise terminal is quite away from the town, so the cruise ship put on a free transfer into the town centre.. any help gratefully received
@@natjim1210 so sorry for the VERY late reply, we didn't get a notification of it. If the port is an industrial one that doesn't allow walking through or it's a long way to the port there will be a free shuttle. We had free shuttles on our Apex cruise at Valencia for example. If not they will often run a low cost shuttle to the local town. Hope this helps.
I just came off the Apex last week and the buffet is genuinely the best I've ever been to. I usually prefer being served at the main dining room but this buffet was just too amazing. The taste, variety and quality was all on point!
Hey there L&M. Just wanted to say thanks for the vid it was exactly what I was looking for. Will be on the Apex in 12mo 22hrs. Looking forward to the food! 😊
Hi Gary, you are very welcome and we are so pleased it has helped. You are going to love Apex we are sure, and the food, as you saw, was consistently good. Have a lovely day, Linzi & Mark
If you didn't like the the dinner you ordered in Tuscan, you could just ask them to bring you what your wife had, that you liked. In our tour of the galley, you find that the plates are already made up and your server can go get you a different dish quickly.
Thank you Charlie. To be fair the server did offer to swap it. It was one a very few time that we had a dish we didn't enjoy as the food was really good on Apex. Have a lovely day Linzi and Mark
Thank you so much Denis. You are going to have an amazing time on Apex for Easter. Such a Stunning ship and we've still a few more videos for you on Apex too. Have a lovely day. Linzi and Mark
I returned from a Celebrity Apex cruise of the Eastern Caribbean a couple weeks ago and can report that Black Pudding was available at the breakfast buffett.
Celebrity food is fantastic and is 2nd only to Virgin on all the cruise lines we’ve been on. So yes Virgin still edges it as all the dining is included and excellent whereas for the best of celebrity (Eden for example) you do have to pay more.
something I always wonder about....can you get takeaways and go back to your room or to some other area on the ship to eat if you dont want to eat in the dining rooms?
You can definitely take anything you want back to the room Casey but we didn't see any evidence of take out boxes which we've seen on MSC & Virgin. We.didnt see anyone take anything like that back from the main dining rooms but saw it lots from the buffet, pizzeria and Cafe Al Bacio and we did that ourselves too. Obviously you can get room service delivery but they charge a delivery fee for it.
This is a fantastic video! Thank you so much for posting this ☺️ I don't suppose you saw any diary free/vegan desserts? I did look at the menus you posted but I couldn't see any 🥹
Thank you Gemgem, we did see a LOT of diary free/vegan desserts, they have a specific section of the buffet with them, and if you ask in the main dining rooms, they will either give you a menu or tell you what the days options are too.
Thank you for not only showing all of the included food but showing the menu and giving your review.
You are very welcome Donna. Thanks for watching and taking time to drop us a comment too 😀

We were genuinley own away by the quality of the buffet Darren, and we can comfortable say we've never said that before on any cruise.
Said Apex 3 9 24 the best buffet ever
Holy moley! That food looks out of this world! 🤤

This just got me through 25 minutes on the gyms treadmill! It was all the motivation I needed. Excellent as always you two! Tom
he he he, thanks Tom, we think you are the first person to tell us they've watched one of our videos on a treadmill.

Looking forward to sailing on the Apex at Easter. Thank you both for sharing your advice and adventures. God bless you always.
Thank you so much Denis. You are going to have an amazing time on Apex for Easter. Such a Stunning ship and we've still a few more videos for you on Apex too.
Have a lovely day. Linzi and Mark
On this ship next year and so really appreciated your excellent review, thank you 🙏
You are very welcome, thank you for taking time to watch it and for leaving us this comment too.

Here in Texas we get in trouble for mixing up fajita and frittata!
Glad to see y'all enjoying yourselves and Happy Holidays.
Need to make sure we don't make that mistake when we get to Texas Christian 😂
Happy holidays to you too.
Linzi and Mark
ROCK paper sizzors lizard Spock😂 Great video, we agree Celebrity has the best buffet and the Demi baguettes are Jim’s favourite!
Love the big bang reference Jo 🖖
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it, we wete so impressed with the Buffet on the ship, so much great choice
I returned from a Celebrity Apex cruise of the Eastern Caribbean a couple weeks ago and can report that Black Pudding was available at the breakfast buffett.
Phew! Can't have a cooked breakfast without Black Pudding
Great review. Thanks
Thank you Michelle 😀
Great review- when will learn not to watch a dining review when we are hungry - sitting here dribbling now 😂
Rock!
How would you compare Celebrity food vs Virgin Voyages?
Celebrity food is fantastic and is 2nd only to Virgin on all the cruise lines we’ve been on. So yes Virgin still edges it as all the dining is included and excellent whereas for the best of celebrity (Eden for example) you do have to pay more.

That voices omg.
Not sure if that was a compliment or not Zizi but we decided to take it as one🤣
Gave up after 2 minutes the double act was very annoying.
Thanka for giving us two minutes Dave and fortunately there are plenty of solo acts for you to watch on UA-cam.
Have a lovely day

Wife’s annoying comments are not necessary
But without the annoying comments it would just be sensible cruise chat!😂
