We sailed in an IV on the Apex and very much disliked it. As others have said, it’s a window, not a veranda. We will only sail on E-class ships if Sunset verandas are available or we can do a suite. In that instance, maybe Celebrity’s strategy worked, because we are booking more Sky Suites.
Ultimately, we like the S and M class ships more when doing verandas or AQ.
