good review. I travel solo too so this is cost prohibitive for me. But I really like the verandah set up and hope to try it someday. For my cruise the concierge class would be 3200 vs the 1150 I'm paying for an inside. This ship does have some solo verandah cabins.
Great tour! I know some people don't like the infinite verandah idea, but when I sailed on the Edge I absolutely LOVED it! I love how it adds more room in the inside while still allowing me to feel like I'm on a balcony lol :)
Exactly! I heard many mixed reviews before as well. But I love the concept. It’s so cool to just have it as a huge window most of the time. And in the evening I can open it and let the fresh air in!
what i like about the edge class ships is that they offer the single veranda rooms with the adjusted solo supplement. As a solo traveler I am tired paying double occupancy.
Love this vlog! Will be taking our FIRST CRUISE and it will be on Celebrity Summit in November. Did you like Concierge Class, was it worth the extra $ and would you do it again? That veranda window is the coolest!!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for watching! I loved having the Concierge Class amenities and I absolutely would do it again. The Verandah and window were amazing. I loved the Apex so much.
I’ve been sailing Celebrity for years and really enjoyed concierge class. The sail away luncheon is not to be missed and the afternoon canapés are a nice touch. We have moved up to Aqua and suite class since they come with their own dining room and separate kitchen. The Summit is one of the older,smaller ships but the excellent service is standard on all ships. We are doing a transatlantic crossing on Apex next spring in Aqua class (suite class as sold out in a matter of days).
So sadly I will be canceling my upcoming Mardi Gras cruise due to current covid situation. However I am seriously considering re booking with the Celebrity Apex for an Eastern Caribbean itinerary later in the spring . Considering all the perks they are including and the spaciousness/sophistication of the rooms I think it might come out to be similar in costs. How is the atmosphere of the cruise? Stuffy or still fun? Also do they have any comfort food options like burgers, Mexican food or BBQ?
Having sailed both the MG and Apex in 2021, I highly recommend you do the Apex. It’s definitely more of a laid back, more luxurious experience. No hairy chest contest at the pool, if you’re into that. But they still have fun - themed parties each night in Eden, amazing shows, games around the pool, etc. You won’t be bored or feel stuffy, I promise! They have different food each day on the cruise in the buffet. They also had hamburgers by the pool and a midnight snack buffet. The food was the best I’ve ever had on a cruise. Definitely book Apex. :)
Didn’t you use your phone to open the room door and control your room lights? Drinks and More package and then the mini bar is included, re-stocked daily and $50 casino credit.
No I didn’t get to go on that one and went on this cruise on the Apex instead. I hope you have a great time on the Horizon! That’s a fantastic itinerary.
Hi, We're considering a trip on the Apex soon (Greek Isles and Croatia). Were people required to wear masks? I've gotten conflicting information from Celebrity. Did you feel safe/comfortable on the ship? Thanks!
That’s the cruise I’m on and it’s amazing! You totally should book it and come. Masks are required but they haven’t been strictly enforcing it everywhere around the ship. I feel totally safe and comfortable with all the protocols in place.
@@ZachtheTravelingMan We're coming on Saturday. My girlfriend want to know how the WiFi is as she'll need to do some work. Thanks! Sorry for all the questions.
I got the fastest internet they offer and it’s pretty awesome! Might be the fastest I’ve ever had on a cruise. Can’t tell you’re on a ship most of the time.
Love your videos. Glad I found you. Keep the honest, thorough reviews coming!
Thank you so much and welcome! Glad you enjoy the videos. :)
Glad I caught this during lunch. Concierge class eh? Nice. Beautiful room. Greece is steadily climbing my bucket list. Great coverage, keep it coming!
I am ssssoooo jealous! Enjoy your time!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Going in March! Rebooked 3 times because of Covid! Can’t wait! Great video!!
Have a great time!!
I like the privacy doors for the verandah. Really modern designs 😍 Thanks for sharing

Thank you for watching. I’ll be checking out the solo veranda rooms next year!
The afternoon snack is for Aqua Class and suites too.
Yes, indeed! We all love it. 😋
If you're in the Penthouse or Royal Suite, the afternoon snack/tea is upgraded. You get entire platters of sandwiches and sweets!
Love the size of the bed!
LOVE this room! Great tour Zach!
Thank you! Hope you’re having fun. 🛳
We are!! ❤️
As I remember, the deck 12 was under a busy deck above. We were on deck 11 much quieter. Beautiful ship
Still my favorite cruise ship! Thanks for watching.

We are going in March and have one as well. I can imagine we will also love it!! Can’t wait!!
Thanks this is my cabin in October! The exact cabin…lol
How cool! It was a great room. I’m sailing the Apex in October as well. ;)
Wow, fabulous room! Are you able to get it cool enough at night to satisfy us warm natured people?
Yes! It actually gets quite chilly at night - you can adjust the thermostat all the way down to 66°!
I miss Carnival pillow chocolates from like 10 years ago.
Me too! Thanks for watching. :)
Every time I’ve sailed celebrity we had chocolates on our pillows. Have they stopped?
@@gailcreighton5484 No Carnival stopped
Gail, they have not stopped! I brought them all home with me from all 7 nights. :)
what i like about the edge class ships is that they offer the single veranda rooms with the adjusted solo supplement. As a solo traveler I am tired paying double occupancy.
I enjoy that too! It’s a big help and allows me to cruise more frequently.

Om Royal you can pre order bottles of water to your cabin-but cant find this on Celebrity ?
Didn’t you use your phone to open the room door and control your room lights? Drinks and More package and then the mini bar is included, re-stocked daily and $50 casino credit.
I did use my phone to control the lights. Only used it once or twice for the door, but found the key card more convenient.
Did you ever go on the 8 Day Carnival Horizon cruise. I'm supposed to take that cruise in February for My Birthday. It took be Our first cruise.
No I didn’t get to go on that one and went on this cruise on the Apex instead. I hope you have a great time on the Horizon! That’s a fantastic itinerary.

@@ZachtheTravelingMan Thanks! One more question: Can you go without mask in the outdoor spaces?
Yes! Most people are.
