Celebrity Cruises Lunch Buffet Food Tour Part 2 (Celebrity Apex)

[@ricknolte6846]

Just booked my retirement cruise with Celebrity this morning. 9 night Mediterranean mid-May. I splurged for the aft facing concierge cabin. Should be a real treat!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Congratulations on your retirement- have an wonderful cruise! 🙂

[@fuzzy1237]

How’d u get on? I’m booked on apex to go to fjords First cruise

[@debarlington897]

Banana Split Station??? My hubby will LOVE that ❤😊 Thanks for the detail in this 2-part video!!!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

It's our pleasure! You guys enjoy the banana split station plus all the other delicious food, and have a wonderful cruise! 😊

[@ericjohnson7876]

Love the way you present all meals every day

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much- glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@taraenid7434]

I love how honest your reviews are. Especially the beautiful cakes. They are all pretty. But I agree only some of them actually have flavor.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you! 😊 Yes those were some of the best-decorated cakes we've seen on cruises!

[@angelolerma6923]

Thanks for showing this and keep up the good videos of food.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure- thanks for the comment! 😊

[@sherriedolder900]

I love ox tail! Looks good.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

So good 😋

[@susanriddle9408]

I would have liked the oxtail. Great video as always

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@vickieboyd3507]

Excited to see another video.....did not disappoint, it had amazing food😋 and I love the lady sampling it..

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@bhismilinirampersad3360]

Hi Hi ...those cakes 🎂🎂🎂 were beautiful 😊👍🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@TravelTouristVideos]

They sure looked good! 😋 Thanks for the comment! 😊

[@Brendt-Bsatsea]

I will be on the 3rd and 4th cruises of the yet to completed Celebrity Xcel to celebrate my wife's birthday,....a year from now,....so far off,...but I cant wait to devour everything. I hope she loves it as much as I love her :)

[@TravelTouristVideos]

That’s great to hear that you're already planning that cruise- a lot of good food await! Hope you and your wife enjoy!

[@Brendt-Bsatsea]

@@TravelTouristVideos She tends to prefer the MDR (not really adventuress). Im the Buffet Monster, I love the variety (new foods must be consumed).

[@TravelTouristVideos]

If you guys eat early at the MDR and are not too full, you can also checkout the dinner buffet. Good variety for sure!

[@Brendt-Bsatsea]

@TravelTouristVideos That's our plan. So far, from what I have seen, I'm not very excited about the food in MDR's

[@kaffir76]

2:35 yummmmy curry ❤❤

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yes! 😋

[@ninablackburn5243]

😃tuning in from Australia. Luv your videos on cruise ships dinning

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yay! Thank you! 😊

[@JONATHANLE-gl8xs]

Another fantastic video. My wife and I are going on a 10 day ultimate Caribbean sailing on the Ascent next November so I’ve been checking out your videos and preparing my stomach lol. Thanks again for the great work!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure- thanks for the comment! 😊 The Ascent is going to have really good food like the Apex- have an great time! 🛳️🙌

[@vittoriovuocolo2438]

Wow!! This makes me miss Celebrity so much. I unfortunately have 2 cruises on Carnival coming up this year and next..

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Carnival has some good food too, but yeah the buffet isn't going to be nearly as good.

[@kaffir76]

3:20 stuffed eggplant 🍆 and the lamb curry looks good TOO. I Agree , lots of brown foods 😂😂

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Some good eats! 😋

[@michaelvitale4029]

That looks amazing. Going on Beyond, our first Celebrity cruise in April. Cannot wait 😎

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Nice! Have a great cruise- gonna be a lot of delicious food!

[@jorjafoxluvr]

HAH love the dream plate of various cakes ;)

[@TravelTouristVideos]

🍰😋

[@AsifKhan-jq3vw]

Hi David and Joan, nice video and delicious food

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much Asif! 😊

[@TVHouseHistorian]

It all looks spectacular. I'm a huge fan of doughnuts, and all those different breads looked amazing too. I just HAVE to book a Celebrity cruise. Another great video! Thanks so much for sharing this. I absolutely enjoy every one of them!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure- thank you very much for the comment! 😊 They did a great job on those sweets, and the breads were quite gourmet as well!

[@robertwandlaincourt314]

Very well done video!!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@robertwandlaincourt314]

@@TravelTouristVideos you're welcome 😊

[@sallylewis5332]

I’d try just about everything I saw on this video. I’m going to have to try oxtail if it’s offered on a cruise because it’s $25.99 a POUND at the grocery store and I see people buying it. I want to see what the big deal is. 🙂. DH would love the donut extravaganza! 🤣 The cakes on the final day were beautiful but I’ve noticed that the layer cakes don’t have a lot of flavor. Now….the cannoli display is another story. I could buzz through 3-4 of those NO PROBLEM. 😆. Thanks for the video. I know editing these things is hard work, and I appreciate it. 😁

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure- thank you so much for the comment Sally! 😊 Yup ox tail is quite expensive despite the bone being a large part of the weight! So that was a very popular dish- they kept running out but refilled fairly quickly. Agree about those desserts as well- those special "stations" like donuts, cannoli, chocolate shawarma, banana split, etc. that rotate help made those sweets look even more fancy!

[@jlawrence0181]

You ought to look for oxtails at Mexican or Korean ethnic markets as I generally buy them in the US$6.99-9.99/ lb price range depending on the store in Phoenix and Las Vegas. If you cannot find them at a reasonable price, try using beef shank. Do realize that either meat takes a minimum of 4-6 hours to get tender. Also, I have found that both dishes taste better on the second and third day.

[@karenglaicar5486]

It all looked delicious. I would love to try it all lol. Nice video and great info. Thanks alot.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure- thanks for the comment! 😊 Some nice looking and tasting dishes- gotta have a little bit of each right? 😋

[@williamruddell6819]

Realizing that some dishes may be an acquired taste from an early age… still, I’d try most items offered in this episode. Joanne, your videos encourage us to “Taste the World!” Thank you for the beautiful images and critiques - well done!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Happy to hear that- thank you so much for the comment! 😊

[@Tellyawhat4]

Ironic that those beautiful cakes were more about appearance than flavour. Glad the coconut one stood out. That apple and crepe are more my thing too. Thanks for taste testing on our behalf. It helps to know what to pass by and what to plate up!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yup it's a bit of a bummer when looks don't match the taste. But happy to have found some hidden gems for you- the coconut cake and those crepes were quite tasty! 😋

[@jlawrence0181]

Wow! I think that I will need to upgrade to Celebrity's Edge Class ships. That food really looked great. I like the wide variety of dishes, especially the Asian dishes. I have been known to check out the buffet after the MDR to see what I was missing out on. Another great video.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much! 😊 Yeah we thought the lunch buffet was better than the one from the Millennium- more variety and more premium offerings.

[@danielperdomo4195]

SALUDOS AMIGA DESDE VENEZUELA , EXITOS EN TU CANAL

[@TravelTouristVideos]

¡Muchas gracias! ¡Tú también! 🙂

[@tinamartin3320]

Great video(s)! My husband and I are taking our first Celebrity cruise on the Apex in December. We splurged on a Magic Carpet suite. I was excited to try The Retreat amenities and specialty restaurants. I have to add Ocean Cafe to our options. So many food choices!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you! 😊 The Magic Carpet suite is luxurious! You guys have a wonderful cruise on the Apex- gonna be a lot of tasty food! 😋

[@michaelbyrns1]

Thank you for your video. We are going on the Beyon in mid December to the Caribbean and looking forward to it. Seeing these meal videos that you did were very interesting. We are currently on a diet, trying to lose 10 pounds so that we can save room for all the stuff we want to eat there. Going to be very hard not to load up a plate. Our first cruise since before COVID

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much! 😊 That's a good idea as a lot of tasty food await- it's exciting to be able to try many of them for sure. Have a wonderful cruise on the Beyond!

[@bobkrakovich1851]

Hi Joann and David, it looks yummy even though did Joann say ox tail in the video? I'll pass on that. 7 weeks from today I fly to Miami for the next day Celebrity Summit 10 night repositioning cruise to the ABC Islands. Hi from a cold Connecticut

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Hi Bob- yup that was some tasty ox tail! 😋 You must be excited to get away from the cold and onto a cruise to the Caribbean. Thanks for the comment- stay warm! 🙂

[@markymarkymarkymarky]

This is ridiculous! Best buffet so far from this channel. Pork belly?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

They had quite a few good eats for sure! 😋

[@shelleydaly1726]

I wanna try all the donuts

[@TravelTouristVideos]

🍩😋

[@cdobrown6475]

I just subscribed because I enjoyed watching this video. I really like how you show each dish with a written caption. I also like the critique of the dishes you sample. I have 1 question: are you allowed to take a container of water or any leftovers from your plate back to your cabin?

[@bluebird2833]

Yes, you can bring drinks & food from the buffet as much as you desire. People do that all the time and you’ll see them in elevators all happy to have their own party or simply enjoy a nice private and chilling meal in their cabins.😊

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much! 😊 You sure can take any food or drinks at the buffet to the cabin. You can refill your own water bottles too though for sanitary reasons you're supposed to fill the glasses there first and then pour into your to-go bottle.

[@wastenotwantnot6754]

I was wondering if the stir fry station offered tofu as a protein option. Thanks again. This is great information. We've narrowed our search down and Celebrity Cruises seems to have plenty for vegans to eat at the buffet.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much! 😊 There wasn't a vegetarian protein option such as tofu at the stir-fry station as far as we know. In fact we overheard a fellow guest there asking about the available of any vegetarian protein option and was told it wasn't available, but you're free to grab anything from the salad bar to have the chef stir fry it for you.

[@susanbritton-giza5054]

You always make great videos ! Thank you ! Miss cruising at this time ! But NO JAB. NO TESTING NO CRUISE ! You all will see in time 🤦🏼‍♀️🙏🏼💕♥️

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure- thanks for watching & commenting! 😊 Most cruise lines have now lifted any vaccination and testing requirements, so hopefully you'll be back sailing soon!

[@MPDLR]

I like the buffet food but I stopped going. The Sheeple in thee Digital Age have forgotten how to look up. It's just too hard to navigate traffic it's a bit chaotic for me. Mind you, I'm spoiled :).

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yeah it can get really busy during lunch, though if you're able to go right when it opens it's not too bad.

[@MPDLR]

@@TravelTouristVideos The dream is one day when Wife finally decides we've been on enough cruises----we stay on the ship on a port day. While the crowds are out buying more magnets that say St -Whatever island on it, the burger grill and buffet are rather serene. One can hope :)

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Lol that would work as well! 😁

[@gmbh8443]

1:37 what is that? 1:57 I go yoink all the beef pieces.. :p. 3:07 depending on what’s in it.. I love dumplings :p 3:13 👀🥲 3:30 I never tried that before 🤔 7:10 👀 9:27 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 omg 10:44 tender 💀 10:49 I love eating cold cuts *without* bread.. lol.. it taste better 12:19 looks like flatten bacon 12:57 I see donuts 👀 13:45 13:47 13:51 13:55 I never tasted tuna like that.. I only tasted a piece of tuna in sushi.. like the nigiri… (but it was just the fish pieces) 13:59 14:07 what is that kind of.. mashed potato? 💀 14:31 15:44 GIMME 15:48 👀👀🫠🫠🫠🫠 15:50 is that salon tasting like beetroot? 15:58 16:03 CAAAAAAAAKE 16:57 I wanna try all donuts… especially all lemon donuts 21:52 why display only…..

[@TravelTouristVideos]

That's a Pina Colada (a pineapple drink with coconut & rum) flavor cake. The Rockfish is actually really good- has a bouncy texture. And yeah maybe that wasn't mashed potato- I might have made an error there. Maybe it was horseradish. The salmon has a little bit of beet flavor but not very much. Those fish were display only, but you can point at it and they will grab one from the fridge and cook it for you 🙂

[@gmbh8443]

@@TravelTouristVideos so.. the display fish was to show whay they have.. and they go cook it straiht from the freezer? Like very fresh?! 👀

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yup exactly! But on a cruise there are very few meats/fish that are fresh from the same day- they're usually delivered frozen to the ships.

[@gmbh8443]

@@TravelTouristVideos and on the start of the cruise 🥲 But i meant like.. you see them make the fish -.- Like.. when they make the eggs etc

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yup exactly you can see them grill your fish

[@marinacarmenmartinez6829]

👍👍👍🇦🇷

[@TravelTouristVideos]

[@kparcparc4230]

No shrimp?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yeah they didn't have many offerings containing shrimp at the buffet- the only ones we saw were in the ceviche.

[@marcojimenez5555]

Are reviewing food on cruises your job? How many cruises have you gone on?

[@biggareid]

I heard they cut the oxtail stew across the whole fleet because of expenses. Can anyone verify?

[@bradh3139]

I’ve never had oxtail anything. Sorry, I just can’t eat anything that is at the south end any animal, just there to swat away flies from their… y’know Massive Rum Cake craving now!! And for tiramisu!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Lol- but it's tasty tough 😁 Yes the tiramisu & rum cakes, as well most of their desserts looked quite good. Thanks for the comment Brad! 🙂

I've always had this livelong dream. My social security check can barely get me across town 😢😢!

[@kathyvelasquez3682]

The best looking item was the candy apple. Most of the food did not appeal to me..thought there was a lot of grey/brown food. Not you camera fault...it was the food. I have no sense of taste or smell so I look for eye appeal and texture. Look forward to your videos.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much! 😊 Yes that was one of the best candied apples we've had 😋

[@dolliemaesone]

I agree I don’t want brown ,green or gray sauces food

[@Jakethesnake999]

Why watch a food video if you have no sense of taste... wouldn't you be indifferent towards food??

[@debbiep99]

I'm very confused by the Caribbean food. Half of it was absolutely not Caribbean.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yes even though it's a theme buffet they still have other food for people who aren't fans of the particular theme of the day.

[@rickharks4515]

The wife and l just finished a Caibbean Celebrity Apex cruise and there was no theme days what so ever, very dissapointing, never seen a mussle either, no banana split sections,, it was the same crap everyday, day after day.

[@abouttime5000]

Bread bread bread. They want you to fill up on cheap plentiful bread.
