Week long cruise on Apex calling at Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and St. Kitts.
Second time on the ship and just as good as the first time. Staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble for them.
We stayed in an infinite veranda cabin which was roomy and light, cabin steward did a great job keeping the cabin clean and fresh for the week.

Five star all the way, from the time we boarded to the day we left. Food selection and service were outstanding. We didn’t try the specialty restaurants as we enjoyed all the different main dining rooms. Our cabin was clean, and the beds and pillows were so comfortable. The staff are so friendly, helpful and smile all the time, nothing was too much trouble. The only downside for us, was the entertainment as we had seen the majority before.
