Ate twice at EDEN 🎉🎉 Loved it so much , Best service on the Assent ship at Eden . Anis was our guy that made it all wonder and a memorable experience for our family . Crab cakes , Lobster , chocolate cake, we tried every menu all top notch. Again need to mention the fantastic service over and above anywhere on the ship. And looking forward to booking again. Thank you Anis best ever .
Glad you loved Eden as much as we did Nick ❤️ It is amazing how much difference the service from an individual can make in these places, and turn them from great to "We love this place". Well done to Anis. 😀 Linzi and Mark
We have probably talked more about Eden than any other speciality dining on any other ship because it really is thst good. We are so happy you had such a great time too. Hope the rest of your Apex cruise was great too. Linzi and Mark
My wife and I are on the Apex this October, our first cruise and first holiday for 25 years! We have upgraded to the premium drinks package thanks to your video 😀 and I'm interested in the Eden but my wife is a plain foodie, can you order meals without sauces or veg? Can you also drink in the Eden bar if you don't add the Eden restaurant? Great video's BTW, very helpful 😁
Wow, first holiday for 25 years, and it's your first cruise! Wow, what a return Apex and the Premium Drinks Package 🤣, don't make our mistake and try and do the full martini bar menu on the 1st night! You can absolutely go in the Eden Bar, it is above the restaurant anytime, it does get busy when the shows are on, but the rest of the time it is a great, chilled out area, with amazing cocktails, and live music. If your wife does prefer the plainer food, maybe give Eden a miss. We are sure they could serve some of the dishes without the sauces, but they really wouldn't be as good, and it's a lot to pay for not getting that full experience. But, go speak to the restaurant when you get onboard and ask them what they think before deciding for certain. Have an amazing time, and please come back (or join our Facebook group) and let us know how it went. Linzi & Mark
Fully endorse your comments I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and service when on Apex this year , both were exceptional had the basic drinks package so wine was included at no extra cost If you can afford it I would go twice The open plan kitchen also adds to the whole experience!!!!
Going on Apex in June. Took your recommendation for Eden. Just booked - they have massively increased the price by 25%. The pre-cruise price is now $75. So for 2 the inc. gratuity price is $180.
Wow that is a big increase. We'd say it is still worth it when we think what a restaurant of the quality and type would be on land. But wow they are getting expensive now.
We generally don't do speciality dining as we feel the MDR is special enough compared to the norm. I feel on our next couple of cruises we will indulge a little more. This looked really nice though!
I would be more than happy to spend that for this meal….of course I am a foodie but everything was well presented and I can only imagine how good it tastes! Sometimes in life….you just have to go for it! ❤️🇨🇦
Just looked at the figures again - I realised they're having a flash sale with an 8% discount on the pre-cruise price. So when that additional discount is removed, the new pre cruise prize has gone from $60 to $85 - a 42% increase. Making a final price for inc. gratuity for 2 - $204. Looks like Le Petit Chef has also gone up from $60 to $70
He he he. If it's the full tasting menu where the loosest clothes you have 😂 You will probably find that they let you or offer to curate a tasting menu for you (that's what they did for us) rather than having to have the full one which is huge.
Glad you agree Shaun, it was a amazing experience, and one we will absolutely do again when we are on an Edge class ship again. Have a lovely weekend, Linzi & Mark
Hi, my wife and I are spending 12 nights on celebrity Apex this July to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. I have never cruised before and I'm quite concerned about being a bit out of place among posh people. Should I be worried? Your content is fantastic, very human compared to most of the stuff on RU-vid.
Larry, thank you and you are going to love Apex. Despite how it can seem on RU-vid and TV shows, the vast majority of cruisers are regular folk having a great time on holiday, so don't worry at all. The crew are all equally fantastic too and will make you feel at home and relaxed. Happy New Year Linzi and Mark
@@larrydude2356 My 24 yr old grandson & I were on Celebrity Apex 'Best of Scandinavia' 12 night tour last year, and we absolutely loved it - the ship, meals, itinerary, amenities, entertainment, the sunset veranda cabin, and the staff!! It was my seventh cruise and his third - all on Celebrity (except for one on Disney). If he didn't have to go back to work, we would have been perfectly content to spend the whole summer cruising Europe and enjoying the incredible Celebrity Apex. In my opinion, the best way (as a first-time cruiser) to enjoy your trip is to start with an open mind and a positive attitude. Do some homework about the ship and excursions ahead of time, and don't be afraid to ask questions, either from amenable passengers, or from the awesome crew members. Sure wish we were sailing with you. BON VOYAGE!
Gutted now. Eden was the only restaurant we didnt go in on Beyond. I wouldnt mind but we spent ages in Eden just drinking the cocktails. On Celebrity Constellation next, and its an older ship and doesnt have Eden. 2025 looks like its going to have to be Ascent.
Hi Alan, whilst they didn’t specifically say there was a lot of GF options before we ordered they asked if we had any allergies or intolerances such as GF, which suggested they did have options for this.
