Trying to decide between Edge and Apex

[Susanb10567]

Trying to decide between sailing the Edge or Apex in February…we are currently booked on the Edge because the prices were a lot lower..now it is a about a thousand dollars more for the Apex. The cruise is for my birthday and the Edge leaves on my birthday and the Apex it is the second day.
The Edge visits Puerto Rico, Tortola and St. Marten and the Apex goes to Key West, Belize, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. I was on the Edge for the first time in July and loved it.  
 

Does the Apex have different shows than the Edge…we enjoy the theater and would like new choices.

 

I guess we can’t go wrong either way…

The ships are 99.9% identical, so go for the itinerary.

 

Shows are the same.

[Pickels]

Not 100% sure, but, aren't these sister ships?  If they are, then it just depends on where they cruise and the cost.

We’ve sailed on Edge, but booked Apex in 2022 for British Isles.  The only difference we expect will be decor.  The menus look the same.  You can’t go wrong with either ship!  Enjoy your cruise!

[graphicguy]

They are virtually the same ship.  Not sure what, if any differences there would be.  As others point out, maybe decor?

 

Since Captain Kate has her new assignment, who is captaining the Edge currently?

[kwokpot]

The only notable difference besides decor and artwork is the additional hottub in the Solarium. A couple of venues have switched locations but that's really of no consequence.

Neither for us.  Lots of cheaper options with other Celebrity ships

[Miaminice]

Apex features the Craft Social Bar... but that should not be a reason to choose one ship over the other.

Agree with the comments on no real difference. We’ve been on Edge for 2 cruises and booked for 20 Nov for an Apex. Love this Class ship. One difference is the Apex has more single SRs. They modified 8 Panoramic Oceanviews into Single Person SRs. So you can see the changes are relatively minor.

Apex has better showers in sky suites with rainfall head and body jets.

One thing to consider also are the ports of Grand Cayman and Key West. Don’t know if Grand Cayman will allow ships yet ( our visit on the Edge for 2/4/22 was canceled) and Key West got whole lots of issues regarding ships stopping there.

They canceled your visit to Grand Cayman already..I didn’t think they were canceling into 2022 already

Like the ports better on the EDGE.

Yep, and of course it was the only port I have never been to. They changed things around now going to Roatan)

If it was World Class bar it definitely would be for me 😁

The Edge prices are comparable to other ships.  Apex seems to be a bit more expensive.

Stick with EDGE based in itin.
