Ship full of Covid
Ship full of Covid! We were both ill half way through our holiday to Portugal and Spain on the Apex. 18th September 2024. At least 50% of people were coughing and sneezing by the end. The average age of passengers must have been at least 70 and there were many disabled people on board. Pay thousands of £s to be made ill? We were both vaccinated in September and again in April. Cruise companies trying to pretend it’s gone away! We got it on P and O two years ago on a weeks cruise and had thought we were just unlucky then. Sadly can’t take another chance. The Celebrity Apex itself has lovely staff and great food. I didn’t like the non balcony balcony. The whole layout of the ship is pretty odd and not as grand feeling as the solstice class ships. My main problem though is the class system. Theatre seats cordoned off upstairs for suite guests who may or may not turn up! There was almost a riot one evening when mobility impaired people were refused access! There were no port talks and a general lack of information about the destinations. The four trips we took were underwhelming. We used to enjoy guest speakers in the theatre during sea days. Really missed those as there was nothing to do except try and get away from the extra loud music on deck which was audible everywhere! Won’t be back!
