This was the most thorough and "classy" review I've ever heard from any travel agent. Congratulations! We absolutely love the Edge class ships, especially the Beyond. Have been on it twice already and am going again. It's a magnificent ship and like you, only have the best to say about every aspect of this ship and the best, most attentive and happiest crew. Most especially, our favorite Captain.....Captain Kate, and of course, also "Bug". Lol Thank you for the time and care you took in specifying everything about the Beyond. I totally agree with you.

Love that you provided your background/credentials based on your experience and preferences to present a fair balanced and valid review, great and helpful review thank you!

Wow! We just LOVED your presentation. We sail on the Clebrity Beyond for a transatlantic from Rome to FT. Lauderdale this October. We have been on Celebrity Summit and Holland America and just LOVE Celebrity, especially the food, the entertainment, and the solarium! Thanks again for the amazing info. I'm looking forward to more!

We love Celebrity, especially their Edge class ships. Sailed on Apex and going on the maiden voyage of Ascent in December. Will likely book Beyond next. Thank you for your hard work in delivering your reviews. Great info!

I have been cruising for many years and watched many reviewers. This is the best and I look forward to watching many more!

Our first cruise was this year on Celebrity. We have a 13 year old and she was one of few kids on the ship. She still had a very good time. The staff was very friendly and enjoyed having her on ship. Our sommelier even made every night special by surprising her with a fun and different nonalcoholic drink! Our family enjoyed them so much, that we are cruising with them again in July!

A 13-year old??? Ha ha ha!!!

Just returned on March 12, 2023 from a 7 night cruise on Celebrity Beyond. We splurged on a Sky Suite in The Retreat. It was nothing short of amazing. The staff could not not do enough for you and having access to The Retreat Lounge was a phenominal benefit not to mention the premium drink package and premium wi-fi that was included. The worst part is that it may have spoiled us forever as we don't know if we can return without a suite. All the bad parts of cruising disappeared being replaced by pure luxury. If you can afford it there are not enough words to describe the difference.

Thank you! What a great review! Must have been amazing indeed! You’re so lucky!

Just finished my very first cruise, and my girlfriends second cruise ever (first since '08) on Celebrity Beyond. We are a 25 year old couple that absolutely loved our stay on the ship. Your review has been the most accurate and thoughtful by far that I have watched. We had the same room and package as you, so its great to see as an unexperienced cruiser how amazing, and top tier our stay really was. We both fell in love with Celebrity and plan on doing another cruise with them within the next few years. 10/10 recommendation for any couple. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, this is such an incredible video! Thanks so much for your detailed approach! We hope to sail on the Beyond next month and this was extremely helpful. We haven't done Celebrity yet, but just recently got off of the Sapphire Princess on a 16-day Antarctica cruise in February. It was amazing! (Your comparison at the end of the video was also very helpful). Thanks again!

Just disembarked from the Celebrity Apex this morning and now waiting for a flight home. Your review is spot on. To anyone considering an Edge class Celebrity cruise this review tells you everything you need to know. Thank you and thank you Celebrity Apex for an amazing cruise to Key West, Belize, Cozumel and Grand Cayman.

We completely agree with you about the The Celebrity ships. We sailed on the Beyond out of Southampton on its inaugural cruise and was very impressed with the decor, stateroom (infinite veranda), food and bar choices and the entertainment. The staff/crew were all very helpful and seemed to always have a bit of time to talk to you. Celebrity has been our favourite cruise line for many years and we look forward to sailing the oceans with them for many years to come 🤓

I totally agree with the comments on the Sky Suite. Best value at sea for me. It’s the lowest cost entry to the Retreat and the perks seem to be a good value for the additional costs. Have been on both the Edge and Apex and am looking forward to finding an interesting itinerary for the Beyond!

Glad I found you! This was a great review. I love Celebrity and I thought your review was thoughtful and fair. Looking forward to more content.

I just loved the detailed description of this Celebrity cruise ship. I am a 55 year old first time cruiser. This cruise line and Virgin will be at the top of my list!

We just watched this video and are so glad we found you! We are planning our first cruise!

Hello, once again you have done such a great review and so pertinent to all cruise fans. You seem so nice that we hope to see you one day on a cruise ship. We have done 2 Edge class ships so far the Apex followed by the Beyond. Both ships are very nice but for us the Beyond has all the minor upgrades that makes it our number one. We loved the new and larger design to the Sunset bar giving it an even more vibrant atmosphere. The central chandelier is also a better fit to the atrium making it a much larger sitting area to enjoy the great martinis and people watch. One of our favorite evening spot was the added World Class Bar that makes this cruise feel even more upscale with those special cocktails. For us the Ultimate verandas was the perfect room as we are not big fans of a balcony cabin as we hardly go on it when we have one. So with the Infinite Veranda it made the room feel so much larger that we appreciated it. As far as for service we felt that the Apex service was outstanding in all the area of our cruise compare to the Beyond. We found that on the Beyond the server in the MDR seemed rush and understaff as service was really slow and such had no time for smiles or engagement with its guests. That was pretty much the only area where the crew seemed a bit less friendly but not all there fault if they were understaff. Celebrity is becoming one of our favourite cruise line lately that fills out all of favorite stuff in life. On an other note do you have a Shipmate account ? Have a nice day to both of you 😊 Thanks again Sea Ya Eric

We recently took Celebrity Beyond starting in Rome. This was our 6th cruise and we would definitely recommend CB. As you stated in your piece the crew, entertainment and cleanliness of the ship were spectacular. We totally agree with your review.

Thank you so much for this video. I am amazed by how professional and engaging it was. The photographs and video were truly professional. Your dialogue was on pointe, descriptive while not full of extraneous babble, with really fine narrative style and timbre. Seriously, great job. We will be cruising in 2.5 weeks on Beyond and the first time with Celebrity. This video was perfect and exactly what we were looking for.

Thank you for an excellent review. We are heading for our second trip on Beyond. This time we will be spending more time on the ship and trying more of the spaces. We were on the Mediterranean cruise and spent more time off the ship. The ship had so many venues, that we did not experience everything. This helps us to prioritize.

We will be on the Beyond in 33 days from now and your video really excited us. Now looking forward to it more than ever! Thank you.

Thank you for your review. We are due to sail on the Beyond in September 23. As a couple with grown up children we both really appreciated the review taken from a couple perspective. We are new subscribers and look forward to seeing more. Many thanks.

Just got off Beyond a couple of weeks ago. I couldn’t agree more with your review especially your comments about the staff. We absolutely loved this ship and the crew. Thanks for the video.

Your cruise experience is very impressive! I thoroughly enjoyed your detailed review! Thank you for sharing!

We just got off the Beyond 2 weeks ago (and did the Apex last year) and your review was spot on. The Celebrity Ascent is already booked for 2024.

Hey guy’s loved this review, just got off my first cruise ever from the Solstice and loved it, so we just book a futur cruise on the beyond for 2025 Panama canal and southern Caribbean..i just can’t wait it seems like a gorgeous ship..and must say like you said for the service and staff they were always friendly and smiley all the time..😊👍🏻 looking forward to more clips from you guy’s, thanks! Friendly Canadian 😊

Amazing analysis! A lot of other vloggers such take note. Going on Beyond in a sunset sky suite for a 10 night southern caribbean itinerary. Apex for our second time in 2024

We sailed our first celebrity late November on Apex it was lovely. We are sailing on Beyond in just a couple weeks. Can’t wait. Great review.

Great Presentation! We love Celebrity also. Going on the Beyond in April already on the Apex. Can't wait for the Xel.

We agree with all that you said about Celebrity beyond the staff, food entertainment was exceptional.

We sailed on the Celebrity Edge in 2021 for our 25th anniversary! We love Celebrity! But we REALLY love the Edge class ships. We just booked a Southern Caribbean cruise on the Celebrity Beyond coming up in the summer of 2024! Great and informative video! I agree 100% with all of your conclusions. My wife loves the controversial "infinite" veranda! I love the ambience of Eden -- and the cafe there might be the best lunch experience on the boat! 2024 will mark our 5th Celebrity cruise -- and while this past summer's cruise on the Equinox didn't live up to my past experience and expectations with Celebrity, as a soon to be 50 year-old overweight public school teacher who has been on 15 cruises on 4 different cruise lines, you cannot beat Celebrity for relaxing, enjoyable adult cruising!!! Keep up the good work!

I cruised on the Beyond in July 2022 starting in Barcelona and did the Mediterranean fabulous! Then b2b on Apex in September 2022 to Cyprus, Israel,Turkey, Greece outstanding! I loved it so much that I’m going on Apex to Scandinavia and Solstice in July to Alaska and then Solstice to Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Hong Kong 😊love the Sky suites

My wife and I have sailed on the Edge and Apex within the last 14 months. Loved both of them. I will definitely sail with them again.

Love your review. Well done in every way. We have cruised many times on Celebrity over the years & love the line. Your review of the Beyond has inspired us to sail on the Edge class ships for a first time. Thank you for the great content.

We have sailed Virgin Voyages (Scarlett Lady, Seriously Suite cabin) and aside from the music, I think you would really enjoy the food and experience as they are top notch!

My wife & I sailed on the Beyond Jan 2023. Loved every aspect. The Retreat was awesome.

We have not sailed this ship yet but we have booked for a 10 day cruise in an Edge Villa. it is expensive but hopefully worth it. You video was excellent and really told a great story of the overall experience. Thank you !

First time with you. We cruise often and watch many vloggers. Very impressed. Looking forward to you 😊

Great review thank you. My wife and I are retiring soon and hope to be doing a lot of travel in the next ten years or so with cruises being a part of that. Now I know where to go for a good review when trying to choose the right one. We have only been on one cruise about ten years ago on HAL and we had a great time.

Very good review. I’m new to researching Celebrity lines and you gave a lot of useful information. Thanks for sharing.

Just came across your channel looking for reviews of the Beyond cruise ship. We’ve sailed on the Edge and recently the Ascent. My wife and I are both 66 and have only been cruising since 2020. We’ve been on about 8 cruises and all have been with Celebrity except 1 Princess cruise to New England/Canada last fall. We agree with your assessment of Edge class ships and Celebrity. I also like Solstice class of ships. We are sailing on the Beyond March 11 for 11 nights. BTW I subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work.

Just subscribed and hit that like button as i really appreciated your review. My wife and i are going on our fourth cruise in October. Our first though with Celebrity Equinox on a 8 day southern Caribbean 30th wedding anniversary cruise in a Aqua class cabin. We are also looking to book another cruise in April 2024 with my best friend and his wife and are considering the edge class ships which look beautiful. I know there newest ship sets sail in December this year the Assent but Beyond looked great as well. Thanks again for the great review! Robert.

Totally agree with your assessment. Loved the Edge. Food, entertainment, bars, amenities: outstanding!!! Have already booked another Edge class voyage (Beyond). Hoping Kate McCue will be our Captain.

We salied Beyond in Sep 2022 and concur totally with your comments and video!

Loved the review and love the Beyond. I have been on all three Edge class ships and Beyond is my favorite mainly because of the upgrades at the Sunset bar. My only observation is that you missed the Spa and I love the Sea Thermal Suite, one of the main reasons I sail in Aqua Class, that and Blu.

After multiple cruises on Viking in PV cabins, we were unsure of taking cruises on a large ship. But after this review, and your several in depth reviews of the Apex Sky Suites and food last year, we just booked a Sky Suite on the Beyond last week! Now we have 11 months to wait, but we luckily have two Viking cruises in between. 😊

Thank you for a very comprehensive and pointed review. As a family, we have cruised 7 times on the Disney Fantasy, all 7 night cruises. We obviously love Disney itself, but the biggest draw to Disney cruising for us is the level of service that is provided everywhere, every time. We are looking to do a shorter cruise, just my husband and I without our children, and are considering other cruise lines, mostly for cost and to be adult focused as we are around 50 yrs old. Destination is not as important as level of comfort, cleanliness, and of course service. Thanks again. We will be watching many more of your videos as we decide.

Thank you for the excellent review from a new subscriber! The Celebrity Beyond was my only my second cruise and followed a Viking river cruise. I think the Celebrity Beyond was a very good fit for our Caribbean cruise that was a balance of ship resort style entertainment and destination excursions. The service and staff (including Captain Kate) were amazing and the food and drink were very good. Compared to Viking, I would say that the casino is not a plus for us, the "class" based system with Aqua and Suite status is a negative, and the glitzy on-board shops were a negative. We will certainly cruise with Celebrity again. But, when our trip is more destination focused, we will stick with Viking for their destination enrichment, inclusiveness, and omission of up-selling premium restaurants, luxury stores, photos, etc.

My husband and I are booked on Celebrity Beyond in October. Your review was excellent and extremely helpful. I can’t wait to see your dining and stateroom report. Thank you so much.

Scheduled on the Beyond for October 23 to the Mediterranean. Looks like a good fit for me. I am a solo traveler in her 50s. I picked this cruise because it seemed like older crowd but not tooo old.

We sailed b/b on Beyond in January. The food and service in Blue was excellent but there were administrative problems on the ship. We had an inexperienced stateroom person and trouble receiving mail, including a invite to Zenith lunch. We didn't receive the lunch invitation on either run. There were problems with captain club services because the cc lady got sick. The food and service trumped the hassles, so we are booked on Beyond next year. Its a good idea to be tolerant given staff shortages. BTW-Beyond sailed with 2200 passengers so that staff ratio was excellent.

Great review! We are going on Beyond April 1st, 2024 with another couple really looking forward to it.

We took our first cruise ever a couple of days ago. We were really hesitant about cruising and we booked for Celebrity Reflection, probably is not the newest ship not the premium one, but we were really cautious since people we know were not very happy with their experiences in other companies. The service was beyond our expectations and now we are booking a second cruise with them. I’ll follow your account since I like the way you show the context of your reviews, excellent video!
