Chocolate Fountain on Celebrity Apex

Embarkation day on Celebrity Apex starts off on a high note with the beloved chocolate fountain!

Colorful fruit displays, fluffy marshmallows, and moist cakes - all ready to be skewered and covered in chocolate at your request!

Shrimp Cocktail w/ marie Rose Sauce

By the way, Marie Rose Sauce is cocktail sauce :)

A Magnificent Shrimp Tower!

The way food is prepared and displayed on a cruise is truly a work of art and a joy to behold!

Porthole Veranda Room Tour | Cabin 7105 Apex

Our clients were able to enter their room by 11:45am and it was completely ready!

Here is a peak at their stateroom on Celebrity Apex:

First Look: Stateroom 7105 Celebrity Apex Deluxe Porthole Veranda

When you think of a "porthole", you probably think of a tiny window from cruise ships of the distant past and that can make this category of balcony on Celebrity a bit confusing.

As you can see, it is a unique balcony style, and the "porthole" is huge!

Bedroom Pics

Bed Near Balcony | Porthole Veranda Room Tour
Cabin 7105 Celebrity Apex

Some staterooms have the bed near the veranda (balcony) and others have the living area (couch) nearest the veranda.

In stateroom 7105 on Celebrity Apex, you can see the bed is nearest to the veranda. You can opt to have 2 twin sized beds, or as shown below, 1 queen sized bed.

Queen Sized Bed | Celebrity Apex Porthole Veranda 7105 Pics

The veranda features 2 chairs and a table, which you can have a glimpse at in the background of this photo.

Our clients received a Celebrity tote bag in their room on embarkation which was a nice touch. ;)

Cruise ship bathrooms don't have to feel like a shoebox anymore - at least not on Celebrity Apex ;)

Spacious Cruise Ship Bathroom | Celebrity Apex Porthole Veranda 7105 Pics

The bathroom is light and bright with thoughtful storage touches, an elongated counter, and an oversized sink where you can even do a bit of laundry if you need to - here are some tips on how to do laundry on a cruise ship.

Bathroom Amenities | Celebrity Apex Porthole Veranda 7105 Pics

No sticky shower curtains here! A glass capsule shower lets in light and actually leaves you room to maneuver. :p

Shampoo and shower gel are waiting for you in the shower.

Generally, I recommend bringing your preferred shampoo or at the very least conditioner with you on a cruise.

Luxurious Glass Shower | Celebrity Apex Porthole Veranda 7105 Pics

★ Try these shampoo bars and conditioner bars - no TSA worries here!

You can also ask your room steward and sometimes they can give you a tiny bottle of conditioner. That was my experience on a Royal Caribbean cruise anyways.

What To Do In Puerto Plata

Celebrity Apex Balcony Pics

The porthole verandas offer an outdoor lounge space separated from your room by sliding glass doors.

This design offers more privacy than traditional verandas, while still offering the fresh air, natural light, and ability to enjoy epic views without leaving your room!

Frequently Asked Questions:

What time are rooms ready on Celebrity Cruises?

Typically your room will be fully ready by 1 or 2 pm.

If you have left luggage with the porters, it can arrive later into the evening, so be sure to keep some essentials with you, or do what we do and bring our favorite luggage with you!

What if my stateroom isn't ready yet?

Don't worry! You can drop off your luggage and go enjoy the ship hands free!

Your hard-working stateroom attendant will finish making your room perfect and when you come back everything will be waiting for you. :)

Porthole Veranda vs Infinite Veranda

What do you think? Would you prefer a porthole veranda or an infinite veranda?
