Good to see you both again. Celebrity is our favourite cruise line. Not long off Ascent - stunning ship with great food / crew. We particularly enjoy the 4 restaurant options. No complaints whatsoever. Looking forward to your next episode as it’s about 20 miles from where I’m based.
Yes, that Edge class is really nice and the food was fantastic, wherever we went. We had a great day during our stop in Greenock. It was mostly Americans on board, so they all disappeared off to Glasgow & Edinburgh all day, so we had a quiet ship in the morning and a really good few hours out later, closer to the port.
Great video! I'll be sailing Apex on a Transatlantic next year. I wasn't planning to reserve specialty dining at Eden, but after watching your meal...I don't have a choice. 🙂 Cheers!
OMG, Andy and Kirstie are back. We have so missed your vlogs and are really looking forward to this series. The Celebrity APEX looks like a gorgeous ship and the food looks amazing. The cabin window design looks really cool. Thanks again for your great vlogs and take care you two. Paul & Marie xx
Great to see you back. We loved our cruise on Apex. Such a great ship and brilliant staff. That little deck behind the buffet is a great spot, but the magic carpet was our favourite - easy to get a burger or a healthy option from the spa cafe
I'm very much looking forward to these vlogs. Scotland is a place I've always wanted to see. I watch quite a few cruise vloggers, and you are my favorite. So classy and well done. Andy .. my mouth was watering when you cut into that Filet!
Every Friday I've been waiting for your vlog and every Friday being disappointed until tonight, I can' t tell you how happy I am. I'll go and get comfortable and watch your adventures, so happy your BACK. Thank you ❤
Hi guys , we were on this cruise with you ! I just watched your first Fred Olsen Bollette video which brought me here, never been on a Fred Olsen ship before and we booked for next year . On Apex we had a sunset view balcony which was beautiful , hubby and I would be dancing to the Cappuccinos in the Grande plaza most nights , loved that band . Fab cruise all round with good friends .
I just watched the video through for Apex, we are sat in the background on chic night ! I remember you two now sat in the corner , didn't realise you were vlogging 😅. We sat at that table on our next visit ... too funny. At the end I can see us in the martini bar !
Great to see you back although I totally understand you needing a much deserved break from vlogging your holidays to enable you to truly relax and enjoy them. I would like to try this class of celebrity ship and the food looked amazing. 😊
Thanks! Yes, after Asia and producing a lot of videos (as well as working full-time), I just felt done, so it was nice to chill at home for summer. That edge class is really nice.
We were on the same cruise but on Deck 6. As an ELITE Member we were allowed FREE Cocktails/Whiskies every 5PM to 7PM everyday on the cruise. I made great use. EDEN is may favorite place for drinks but the Buffet offering at 14th DECK Oceanview Cafe is OUT OF THIS WORLD. I loved Cyprus for the Octopus
That's cool. Our cabin was on deck 6, too. We heard from others about the freebies between 5pm and 7pm. What a great perk! We enjoyed all the food very much.
Yay! Saved this vid to watch with my lunch....as usual, had to pause halfway through to go and check out/price up the Cruise to add to my list 😄 The ship looks fantastic so far, and the food looks amazing quality. Really nice to hear more from Kirstie too (and looking as stylish as ever - I've got 'red cardi' envy today 😉) Looking forward to the rest 🎉
Watched you sail past from our house in Troon down the Clyde.Its nice to see that Celebrity are still homaging their Chandris routes with the Chandris X on the funnels
Lovely to see you back cruising, When you find a bar you like sitting in at the start of your holiday particularly in tip driven bars, The best £40 you will spend is the tip you pay your waiter on day 2 who tends your favourite seating area. They are instant mates. Not sure if Im ready for Apex just yet. All the best you two, keep it coming. Ivan
Great to see a new series. The wife and I went on a royal Caribbean 1st week in September from Southampton. Left my glasses in cabin apparently they cannot find them and we are both getting over Covid which we caught during the trip. It’s kind of put me off cruising for a while until unfortunately…
Hi guys great to see you back on your next adventure 😄 Celebrity Apex looks a great ship , from what you have shown us , really nice room too , great vlog 😊
Great to see you guys back 😁, and on Celebrity! We heading to Honolulu next week to catch the Celebrity Solstice on it's journey through the Pacific to Sydney, can't wait.
Eden is a really lovely area, both during the day and at night. The Eden cafe is a hidden gem that closes at 0930 each morning. The ship is really nice, we loved it. Have an amazing time!
We were on this cruise. Eden is one place we barely visited. Overcrowded and not enough comfortable seating. I always felt like I was sat in a corridor.
Nice! I honestly wish i found your vlogs earlier you both make them a worthwhile watch, we watched this and i then we went and watched your Queen Mary mini cruise and we have just watched No1 in your Marella Asian cruise out of Singapore so more to follow on your adventures 👍 We've never sailed with Marella but we've done a few with Celebrity on all class of ships so it would intresting to have your view and hindsight on both companies. Please keep up your holidays so we can enjoy your future vlogs.
Another cracking Vlog from you both. We have the transatlantic booked for October 2025! Looking forward to the further Vlog adventures of Andy & Kirstie,
Glad you are back with another cruise vlog andy you do a great job with your footage, i have been on 7 celebrity cruises so i have had most of the items from the main dining room and the food on celebrity is always good so some good memories for me. I will be interested to see how you rate celebrity cruises at the end of you series but will wait until i have seen them all for your final reviews but again cant wait until the next one well done again.
Greenock was a great day. Mostly Americans on board, so they all disappeared off to Glasgow & Edinburgh. We had a quiet morning and then a great few hours out later on.
Looking forward to seeing your experience on Apex. We had a fab time. So nice to meet you both (sorry to interrupt Andy while he was tucking into his breakfast pancakes!). We thoroughly enjoyed Eden. The food was superb. Hope you also enjoyed Le Petit Chef. 🤤
Nice to meet you too! We had a great cruise. Food was amazing wherever we went on board. Le Petit Chef was great. So were the blueberry pancakes in the buffet!
Great video you two! Kirsty is looking much more comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Are you using a new camera? as the quality looks great. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the cruise.
Really pleased you've continued vlogging Andy, I got the impression not long back that it was getting a bit tiresome given the huge amount of effort that goes into it for apparently not a huge reward. We were on Edge a few years back - celebrity is always quality food etc wise 👍👍
Yes, after the Asia cruise, I felt done with filming/editing and definitely needed a break to reset. Concentrate on other things for a bit. Celebrity definitely lived up to the hype.
The music from the Martini bar area permeates everywhere as its in the central atrium (it can be heard in the bar, the coffee shop, smaller bar, the expensive fine dining restaurants, casino and shops). Finding somewhere quiet to escape it without retiring to the cabin was very difficult.
Eden do a lunch soup sandwiches on sea days its much quieter as I dont think many people know about it .Yes the buffet is carnage !! lol Apex is indeed a beautiful ship .Do you remember how much dinner is on Eden now ? if you dont mind saying ?.Did you think it was worth the extra charge .
Thanks for the video Guys I only hope that Kier Starma or Rachel Reeves don't get a look at those on board prices as it will only give them an excuse to talk about "Well off pensioners " again 😄
Hi guys ,enjoyed your vlog last night,why did you both comment that you probably wont go on iona again ? Watched your vloggs on iona and seemed you both enjoyed the experience,just couldnt understand the negativity ,please enlighten me,we are going back on in 4 weeks and booked next year,just curious all seemed well with the vlogs,anyway we are looking forward to next weeks vlog ,thanks.
We really did enjoy Iona and love the P&O speciality restaurants. What we don't particularly enjoy are huge crowds of people and queuing. After watching plenty of Iona videos, it's definitely not our thing. The Iona sailing we were on was the inaugural voyage (and covid rules applied) and had a fraction of the usual compliment.
Pity there were many Americans onboard you cruise. I just got back from a Norwegian Fjord cruise with Fred Olsen, the majority were British. Had a civilized and lovely cruise.
I’m a neutral person neither British nor American…and the Brits are much preferred, you’re all friendly and genuine people. Seppos are sooooooo loud wherever they go! Especially on holiday 😂
Welcome back. You have been missed.
Another brilliant film- and it is great to have you back again.
Nice to see you back cruising and having a great time.

It was a really great cruise.

I'd be someone's instant mate if they gave me £40! Apex was a great ship.

Sorry to hear that, but I do get it. We feel a bit 'cruised-out' often, too, but always bounce back!
Hi guys great to see you back on your next adventure 😄 Celebrity Apex looks a great ship , from what you have shown us , really nice room too , great vlog 😊
Thanks for watching!
Great to see you back cruising
Enjoy your vacation
Great to see you guys back 😁, and on Celebrity! We heading to Honolulu next week to catch the Celebrity Solstice on it's journey through the Pacific to Sydney, can't wait.
Sounds great! We really enjoyed Celebrity and the Edge class ship.
Eden looks amazing. We are on this ship next month and can’t wait! Great to see you back
Eden is a really lovely area, both during the day and at night. The Eden cafe is a hidden gem that closes at 0930 each morning. The ship is really nice, we loved it. Have an amazing time!
We were on this cruise. Eden is one place we barely visited. Overcrowded and not enough comfortable seating. I always felt like I was sat in a corridor.
Great to follow you guys again and good timing too as we are on the Apex next month! Looking forward to seeing how your adventures unfold. 🙏👍
Awesome! Thank you! You'll have an amazing time on this fantastic ship.
Nice! I honestly wish i found your vlogs earlier you both make them a worthwhile watch, we watched this and i then we went and watched your Queen Mary mini cruise and we have just watched No1 in your Marella Asian cruise out of Singapore so more to follow on your adventures 👍

Awesome 👌
It’s so nice to see video. Can’t wait for the next drop ❤
Glad you enjoy it!
Looks amazing we are trying out celebrity cruises in march 25 going on celebrity edge in Australia super excited 😊
Sounds awesome. We found the Edge class ship great 👍
It was so lovely to meet and chat to you whilst we were onboard. Can't wait to see the full series😊
It was great to meet you guys, too! We had a great time. Hope you enjoy watching this series.
The food looked amazing! ❤
It was! It was a real highlight all over the ship, and we always looked forward to visiting the buffet and restaurants.
Ive missed you guys! Great vlog as usual ❤
Thanks!

@@andyandkirstie i thought you would i like celebrity too great cruise line.
As the comment below says, great to see you back and we're on Apex next month crossing the Atlantic. Cannot wait.
Have fun on this lovely ship 🚢
Good to see back,I was on carnival legend in august went on a British isle cruise next feb going on p&o azura to the canaries and Madeira 😻
Sounds good!
Glad to see u guys back, looking forward to seeing the vlog at greenock as that is our home port (we'll closest one to glasgow)
Greenock was a great day. Mostly Americans on board, so they all disappeared off to Glasgow & Edinburgh. We had a quiet morning and then a great few hours out later on.

We sailed on Apex to the Fjords in May! Could not fault it! Amazing experience for our first cruise. ❤
Yes, lovely ship. We had a great time.
I am glad you have both finally been on Celebrity 😀
It was good to do. We really enjoyed it.
Nice to see you back blogging.
Hey, thanks!
Great video you two! Kirsty is looking much more comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
Are you using a new camera? as the quality looks great. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the cruise.
Not a new camera. I was using a DJI Pocket 3 a lot in the Asia videos and didn't like the footage much, so went back to my 'proper' camera.
Yay, you’re back! 😅
Good to see yous back❤
Again 👍👌
Lep pozdrav iz Slovenije

Thanks @andy I'm hooked on Negroni now 😂
@@Thehughmungus 😂👍
The music seems loud for dinner 🤔
Yes, it is (if you mean the first meal in Eden). They have entertainers in the through the evening, so is often pretty loud.
The music from the Martini bar area permeates everywhere as its in the central atrium (it can be heard in the bar, the coffee shop, smaller bar, the expensive fine dining restaurants, casino and shops). Finding somewhere quiet to escape it without retiring to the cabin was very difficult.
Were on her too, next month.😊😊
Have a great time, it's a fantastic ship!
Eden do a lunch soup sandwiches on sea days its much quieter as I dont think many people know about it .Yes the buffet is carnage !! lol Apex is indeed a beautiful ship .Do you remember how much dinner is on Eden now ? if you dont mind saying ?.Did you think it was worth the extra charge .
Eden lunch sounds good. Think Eden dinner was around £70 each. Pretty expensive, but very enjoyable.
Thanks for the video Guys
I only hope that Kier Starma or Rachel Reeves don't get a look at those on board prices as it will only give them an excuse to talk about "Well off pensioners " again 😄

Wife cant make her mind up about the beard ,ha ha
@@RaymondBatchelor-z3k 😄👍
Lovely meals but I would not be able to eat so much....and my clothes would not fit 😊.
It was a struggle sometimes, but we managed to try quite a bit!
Good to see you back
Beard!!!a no no !
You love it...
Thank you for the wonderful video! Wow that fig cocktail is expensive but sounds so delicious!
I certainly wouldn't be drinking a lot of those. It was pricey. Very tasty though!
Pity there were many Americans onboard you cruise. I just got back from a Norwegian Fjord cruise with Fred Olsen, the majority were British. Had a civilized and lovely cruise.
Actually, everyone was really nice. They just seemed to want to be everywhere the exact same time as us!
I’m a neutral person neither British nor American…and the Brits are much preferred, you’re all friendly and genuine people. Seppos are sooooooo loud wherever they go! Especially on holiday 😂
Wow! 😮
Great to see you back cruising.
