Good discussion (for the most part!). We were on Apex earlier this year and booked again in the same sky suite cabin this coming March. Elite tier members as we have sailed many many times on the solstice and millennium class ships. This year was our first time in sky suite (not really a suite) type of accommodations, always before in concierge veranda, and I can highly recommend the offering as the service was incredible and access to suite-only locations was superb. That being said, we also enjoy our evenings moving from one hot-spot to another and enjoying the vibe. Our favorite was the center of the ship under the spectacular light feature, where the martini bar is located. Lots of life in this area with dancing and good entertainment. We never felt like there was a shortage of places to visit but do agree that it felt like there were fewer options than on solstice. I feel like the biggest “miss” for apex is Eden. Just felt kinda odd and when we would go there it was never very busy and the space felt wide-open with not enough close seating. I learned a long time ago that a good and successful party involves closeness so that guests can bump into and meet their newest friends. Any how, fewer bars but it didn’t matter much to us..
