cruiser61262 Posted February 15, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) We are booked on the Apex in an Deluxe Ocean View with the veranda. We have been on the Edge and really disliked the IV. We need to travel during school vacations because my husband is a teacher and the prices are relatively high. The difference between the sunset verandas and the Deluxe Oceanview was quite substantial so that puts it out of our budget. Please don't even mention the suite options.... We chose this particular cruise because of the ports of call. Because of the teacher impediment our week in April is not negotiable and the other cruises go to the same ports we are tired of going to so this Apex cruise we feel is our best option. I was just wondering if anyone out there has actually stayed in one of these cabins or knows someone who has and what their impressions were. I know the balcony is just big enough to turn around in, but I like the idea of being able to go out there and close the door behind us like a traditional balcony. We booked on deck 9 aft so that we would be closer to the food end of the ship and it does not appear to be any view obstruction except for the round window itself. Thanks for any responses in advance Edited February 15, 2020 by cruiser61262 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser61262 Posted February 15, 2020 Author #4 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Thanks for posting.... I've seen the pictures and the youtube videos but was hoping for first or second hand impressions of people's actual experiences after cruising in them for a week.

wendyam76 Posted February 16, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 16, 2020 We’ve been in one and loved it! Rebooked one on Apex too. We enjoyed our week in an Aqua IV stateroom but enjoyed this porthole balcony just as much. Wendy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It dropped in price substantially over the IV that I switched. Hope I made the right decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyam76 Posted February 17, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Honestly there is so little difference in the rooms. Aqua used to have fancy showers but not any longer. In fact for one cruise we’ve dropped down to a window to save some money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
