Friday, February 17, 2023 Celerity Apex Cruise

Today is our last day at sea. We will be getting in to the Fort Lauderdale cruise port better known as Port Everglades early tomorrow morning. Today we had breakfast and a light lunch and plan to meet up for dinner with a couple we met while onboard. So we finished packing, collected our photos and were ready to get off the ship. Tagged luggage has to be outside of the room tonight at 10pm. There were so many things I did enjoy about the ship. One thing I noticed right away was the lack of photographers everywhere. They would be standing near the place they were to photograph you but they would only take your photo if you asked them. They also had a studio where you could take photos in front of a green screen. Then they would give you different backgrounds to choose from. If we had known that, we would probably made an appointment and did the photo session, so we could have at least, gotten a photo with the ship. On other ships, the photos started when you got to the ship and were at each port. Not Celebrity. They allow you to be in charge of the photos and we appreciated that. I have learned a lot about Celebrity, more that just the book knowledge. There is a specific clientele Celebrity caters to. However, if you are looking for an upscale experience with really good food and great customer service, Celebrity may be for you. They have beautiful art for sale as well as perfumes, Tag Heuer and Cartier watches, Effy jewelry stores, Bvlgari jewelry, designer handbags and so much more. We did try all of the restaurants included in the price and a few of the specialty dining restaurants. All of the food is very good, so even if you don’t try the specialty restaurants, I believe you will be pleased with the food. Even the food at the buffet is good. So, when you go, make sure you try something different from your normal menu. Who knows, you may have something new to add to your likes. Tonight, our last night aboard, we went back to the Normadie. This time I had the Turkey Terrine & Radish Carpaccio and the Grilled Chicken Breast. Hubby had Escargot a la Bourguinonne and the Duck Breast with veggies.
