- CELEBRITY APEX INFINATE BALCONY TOUR
I've seen the infinite balconies before but this is the first time I've stayed in one.
Let's see if this style of balcony is right for you.

Nice room, but not overly excited about the balcony.
I prefer the actual outside balcony
We won an upgrade to that cabin from an interior cabin for only $100 pp. We Freaking LOVED that Room and the food on the Apex in the Buffet was the BEST 😋 better than any other cruise 🛳 line. The large windows and view was Spectacular. ❣
That type of balcony would be nice in Alaska when you necessarily don’t want to be outside, but have a great view of scenery. For the warmer climate cruises, not so much for us. We like sitting outside with the ocean breeze.
I wish they would call it what it is: An outside stateroom with a window that opens.
Have read a couple reports from people who thought this kind of “balcony” would be cool. But by the end of the cruise they realized they liked a traditional balcony more. Can’t wait to hear what you think by cruise end.
Was in an Apex Infinity cabin in August and was the best cabin I've ever stayed in. Loved the infinite balcony.
Beautiful room! Luv the view, I like to walk out on an outside balcony, sit on the lounge chair and lean on the bannister.
I wasn't a fan of the infinite balcony when I first saw it, however, I've booked a sailing on the Apex through the Norwegian Fjords and am very happy that I will be able to sit on my "balcony" and not be cold! Wouldn't be my first choice in the Caribbean or Mediterranean, though.
The problem with that type of balcony (on the Apex anyway) is that when we rolled the window down, it shut off the air in our cabin regardless if the folding doors were shut or not so our cabin was pretty warm and humid if we used the balcony as a real balcony. In addition, the folding doors were not smooth/easy to close. Perhaps it’s because it’s new and the bugs will be worked out in time. Loved the ship overall and are sailing again in December but this time with a traditional balcony!🤣
I was just wondering how this kind of balcony and the air conditioning was working out. You just explained it. I can see why they would have the air turn off, however, I also can see how your room would become uncomfortable if you used the balcony for very long.
Enjoy your cruise Don.
Nice stateroom but so narrow! Thanks for the tour :)
That balcony would have been a great design in Alaska when you were getting the drips on your balcony.
Nice room but I am underwhelmed by the balcony. It looks more like an oceanview with an opening window.
Very nice Room! A proper Balcony would have been better!
Have a great time!
Very nice Don
It's pretty but I'd much prefer a normal balcony than a window.
Thanks don...
The balcony is not to my liking. I think the balcony "makes" or "breaks" the stateroom. Thanks for the tour. ENJOY!!!!!
The 12th floor, DON. 🤭😬🤣
This balcony would be geat for a cold climate cruise! I would rather have the outside balcony for a beach cruise, because I like to sit outside and enjoy the sea breeze.
Beautiful room. Just not a fan of the infinite balcony. I need my AC. I do understand why it goes off though when the balcony window is down.
Thanks for the room tour.
Thank you Don
He is "The Don"....
Thanks for the room tour, but don't like the layout of the infinity balcony cabin. Especially the walking through the bottom of the bed to balcony...certainly not wide enough. Overall I'd give it two stars and get a regular balcony cabin.
Interesting that they have a particular single cabin Wireless access point.
The height of the railing could have higher so that you could see from the chairs. This configuration requires that you stand up. If the railing were 5" higher you could enjoy the view providing you have clean glass.
Lovley cabin
Oh wow, it looks amazing! Love it! 🥰
On the Edge we had bed near balcony like yours and on the Apex between bathroom and entry. I liked the latter because it seemed roomier. We left balcony doors open to give us more room and for a better view. When we wanted outside air we opened the window. Best balcony we have ever had.
What a beautiful room! I'm jealous!
I wondered how those balconies worked. We were in port next to the Apex on my October cruise on the Summit.
Booked originally in 2019 on the Edge to sail in 2020, but I Lifted & Shifted to the Apex for 2022. It's been a long time coming and I'm sooooo ready!!
We are going to be on the Apex in February. So looking forward to it. Nice room -thanks for the tour!
I would retire in a set up like this room. The modern senior living. Living cubical. Just put on bucket list of things to do or be in.
Nice balcony cabin,
Don.
You can get a layout with the bed away from the window. The best part of this room is leaving the bi-folds open and thus giving yourself all that extra room. The "balcony"concept is indeed flawed as you are not outside like we've come to enjoy.
That sink would fit a small child for a bath, just a thought that I had. NICE!!!
I'd run into that shower stall walls. lol
Overall looks like a great cabin.
Very intimate for two or spacious for one. I like it....but not if A/C automatically shuts off with window opening.
Gotta say, I'm not overly impressed with the new designed cabins on the Celebrity ships. I much prefer the separate balconies, not the infinity type. But thanks for showing us around. We looked at the Celebrity Edge's tour on CZcams last night, and had the same reaction. Probably won't choose either of these ships in the future.
I was thinking of booking a balcony room on one of the new style celebrity ship but will not now, we want a real balcony!!!
I figured this out before your review but it confirms it We'll try an older ship with the real deal!!
Don.....point of order. They are not rooms, they are cabins. They are not floors, they are decks........but I still love your videos!
Interesting looking bike there....is it a Brit classic?
Ohhh i like this cabin. Very hotel like.
The room is beautiful, but I would pass because of the balcony.
Hey Don, only ONE PROBLEM with Apex --- NO CAPT. KATE!!!!!!!!!!!
Sailing Millennium on Thanksgiving from FT Lauderdale. I bet it won't be that nice. Love that balcony.
It's an Ocean View with a big window!
That opens…
It’s called an Infinite Veranda.
@@MrMopeake With a window. ;-)
@@michaelatherton5761 I think it works best during winter cruises when it’s too chilly to be sitting on the balcony.
@@MrMopeake Great point. I didn't think of that because we normally only cruise to warm places. I was just kinda kidding. It's not a bad idea. Really a lot better than a window that doesn't open. Since covid and getting quarinteed in a cabin is a possible thing it would be great. I've only been booking balconies lately. I used to be happy with Ocean Views.
I said that to quickly. Better than I thought.
Did I miss the tour of your upgraded grand suite? Can't wait to see that!
Nice room. I prefer the couch next to the balcony....
I agree with Rachel....balcony ??? Don't think so !
I gave your thumbs up a thumbs up. 👍
Glad you like it.
Beautiful!
Yes, cruise ship cabins are better "not shared"...a luxurious get away from the rest of the ship. Nice balcony cabin!
Very nice room. I would prefer an outside balcony but that wouldn't prevent me from booking it.
The Sunset Veranda is the outside balcony if that’s what you like.
I wouldn't book a ship without a proper balcony. Your not truly outside. Is this the room you bid on?
@@MrMopeake yes
@@ontariocanada No, he bid on an upgrade on Odyssey of the Seas (“Royal Up” program).
@@jackiebyers3424 oh ok. I was confused. Lol
That room seems narrow to me. Also, I think if you had closed the doors on the "balcony", it would have made the space seem too small to use. The chair barely fit as it was.
thanks I will be on the ship next sept in a balcony by my self looks good i was not not to sure about this style of balcony
Thanks for the info Don. We're doing the Apex in a couple weeks (nov 20-27) same type room on the 11th floor. Are you doing eastern Caribbean as well?
I think it looks awesome, but like others have said I'm not a fan of the Balcony. But with that being that type of balcony be ok if it was stormy outside. The cabin over all would fit my needs.
Had a balcony cabin on Celebrity several years ago with a similar design and I liked it, especially with the bed by the balcony. I don’t like the new style balcony so I doubt I’ll be back on Celebrity. Thanks for the review.
Yeah we did the Edge 2 years ago and that infinite balcony thing is ok but to be honest I like sitting outside. Much better when the wifey is sleeping to just go outside and close the door vs opening up the side of the cabin :) those little inside doors on the balcony really don't close off the balcony the way they could. I found on our cruise of the Med on Edge that I would just go head out on the ship vs staring endlessly at the waves rolling by on our balcony.......
That balcony would be ok on a cold cruise, Alaska maybe, but no way I’d like it on a Caribbean or any other warm destination
We booked the Edge for 2022 and chose a Sunset Veranda. While I wouldn't say no to a free cruise in an infinite room I think we prefer an open balcony.
from the Eurodam this morning on a facebook group.............. This is Sue and Doug Petersen. Our cabin is 5135. We've never been in it. Sue was refused boarding because she carried a small 5 pound oxygen concentrator. Doug had to stay with Sue because of her mobility and vision issues. The scooter should be in the room. The rental company will retrieve it on the 13th.
Saying we're in shock is an understatement. Holland America was so diligent with the NEW Covid protocols. Why didn't they add the other new regulations? We're trying to contact HA about our refund. We left a message at the LRBC office.
You were on the 12th DECK, you landlubber.
Was there a exhaust fan in the bathroom?
Oh my bad it’s a regular balcony room, makes sence!
What were they thinking making the sink 3 feet wide? They could take a foot off it and leave more counter space. The designers obviously don't use the cabins
For those of you who don’t like this type of stateroom, X does have the regular ones on all their M and S class ships. And there are some on the E class ships as well. But Don, you didn’t mention that the Captain can lock all the windows shut if he feels there is anything even close to bad weather, Lastly, you travel alone. I don’t. My wife likes to sleep in (until 7:00 sometimes). I get up at 5:00. I used to go out on the balcony and close the door and work on my Mac or read my Kindle. Can’t do that anymore. Lowering that window would be so noisy I am surprised it doesn’t wake everyone in the next two staterooms. And no one has mentioned bugs? When you are in port if you open it, don’t you get flys or gnats in the room? How about gulls coming in for lunch. Good luck getting those out.
On the Apex and Edge you have to book a suite in order to get a standard type of balcony (Veranda). The lowest priced Skye Suite comes with a standard balcony.
The Apex has a few traditional balcony cabins, mostly aft-facing and a few forward cabins. But I do agree, that they overestimated the desire for the infinite "veranda." I still prefer the traditional outside balcony. Celebrity site: czcams.com/video/XixqmPFAas8/video.html
Yes it is better that way. Solo traveling all the way.
Were you here in C Edge a few days ago in St. Kitts?
Don did you say this uograded room is normally 9k. i have to say i like the traditional balcony more. i guess its the deck level that they are charging more for
Since you are back and no longer in the room do you mind putting the room number on the review? Thanks
I like it, not loads of room, but hope not to spend too much time in there. Mx
Hey Don, you can always wear both the robes…ha Probably not to dinner though.
"We're on the 12th floor..."
🤦🏻♂️ Don, Don, Don... You know better. You're on Deck 12.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good inside cabin? We are ready to book but we don't want a noisy cabin. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I kinda like it. I'm 5'4" so I'd fit perfectly.
Hi Don, this is Gatineau speaking…not sold on Celebrity. So far, we prefer Holland America with their larger cabins.
Hi ! Thanks for the tour.
I am wondering about the noise the balcony mechanism makes. What if you want to open the balcony early in the morning or late at night. Do you disturb the neighbours ? Does their balcony noise disturb you ? Let us know !!!
The balcony would be a total non-starter for me.
What if the power window malfunctions? What happens then? Like you said, the ship is new enough that it shouldn't be a concern for now. 🤔🤔🤔
Was this a partial obstruction balcony?
Hi Don, We are cruising on the Apex in Feb of 2022. Same type of room...looking forward to it. Being Canadian, we will need to get a PCR test before coming into Canada. Does the ship do covid testing when leaving?
I haven’t got a covid test before. Does anyone know what companies to go to that are fast at getting pcr test results?
On carnival cruises you can hear every balcony door slam, how about celebrity?
If someone was sailing with children, where would passengers three and four sleep?
Strange question popped into my head as watching you open the balcony. During rough weather, cabin stewards lock balcony doors, can they disable infinite balconies remotely? I like the idea that balcony space can be used rain or shine!
Captain can order all windows locked during bad weather -- can you image a lower-deck window open with high waves splashing into the room on Deck 3?
I have to admit I’m not really fond of the balcony I like the normal balcony with the railing and being wide-open
Looks pretty small for a suite.
Deck 8 has a much better veiw
The ship is amazing (having sailed on inaugural in the Med 2021) but this is Not a balcony by any means. I spent more money to get a real balcony in a sky suite and was happy with that, but I think I’d be really pissed off if I booked a balcony room and received this. Sorry, but NOT a balcony.
Don, I am a year older than you and ready for a change. How do I become a travel agent?
That is WINDOW Room - not a balcony room. No thank you.
Don…is the 12th floor bumpy? Can u feel a lot of motion?
Bib blushes....
Yeah definitely not for me. Space around the bed is very tight. I like my sliding doors to a real balcony.
I dont like the balcony at all. I like to go all the way out and get the fresh air. It is great for 1 person but seems awfully small for 2 people. Not to impressed with this cabin. I do hope you enjoy it though and gave a great time. I'll always give you a thumbs up. If they had a thumbs down for the room it would be down. Just to narrow.
Not impressed with the balcony at all. Do they all have that wide overhang, or is it just the floor you're on? It totally blocks your view of the sky. Hate to say it, but it's a no-go for me.
Don't like that style of balcony. Is it really a balcony? Very obstructed views. I'll stick with regular ones!
I agree. I have been on several cruises with a normal balcony. I don't like that style of balcony.
