We were on Apex in September, we opted to try without a package as port intensive, decent OBC ,and Elite status. I was fine with limited choice , some cocktails/ G & T, red wine for hubby, but felt like 2nd class citizens in the martini bar, the glasses are smaller than usual serves too. Eden was wonderful, and we had a lovely server most evenings, who always brought our usual, and was tipped during and end of cruise for service.
Luckily I have 'A brass neck' as they say in Scotland, and ordered one after the other so at 18.55, had lots lined up.
