Thank you for talking and showing the great cruise ship. Like the bow design. One question ❓ that I have. I heard that the side of the ship bar lounge type elevator is a discharge also for passages to shore. I got Married at SEA by the Captain ( Mike Molin) in 1998 on Grand Princess. The Biggest at the time. We did a 10 year anniversary cruise to Alaska. On ( Ruby) Princess. Same class, NO Skywalker Lounge. You are so,so right about night life excited younger guests. In 98 there were lots of younger people filling the Lounges. On the Alaskan cruise, there was what you experienced. I did like one big thing about Princess, on repeat customers ( lots of cruises) even in Horizon Court ( all you can Eat) the guests that cruise a lot, have a crew member with them, refills on coffee, clear their plates. Just pamper them anywhere on ship, always a crew member with them to get drinks, any personal service. I don't know if other cruises do that. I did notice that you pointed out the view BLOCKAGE from that exterior side of the ship elevator BIG stick out on the side. What say YOU my cruiser friend should We stick with the Princess or try this ship or the other higher class NEW vessel. On a side note. The Captain let us take wedding pictures on the bridge, underway. He did a Personal tour on the side wing control station. I will never forget those photo shots. ❤ Your work on these videos is very detailed on the important things for cruisers guests to see.

I was on the Beyond 2 weeks ago and it was maxed out. It wasn't an issue but i will say there were multiple incidents involving bad behavior of older people. Verbal altercations with other people and we were almost run over multiple times by the elderly on scooters. The worst was someone running their scooter into the hall of mirrors going into eden. The shattered a portion of glass and just drove off. I had to report the damage. I have never encountered so many ill mannered people over the age of 65. Im in my 50s so im not a kid.

Celebrity is in a class of its own, a sweet spot among cruise lines for those of us who want the style and sophistication but without the serious money and stuffiness of something like Silversea. Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten land or sea was on a Celebrity Cruise.

You have become my favorite cruise reviewer. Just started watching and your explanation and story is great

It was so nice meeting you on that sailing. My first celebrity sighting on a Celebrity Cruise. Love your channels

We just came back from our first Celebrity cruise on June 3rd, last week Monday. It was our first time on Celebrity. We sailed on Celebrity Reflections...and older ship, but you wouldn't know it! It was just a weekend puddle hopper, but we THOROUGHLY enjoyed it and will definitely be sailing with them again on something longer!!

I love the look of this ship. I cruised through the Panama Canal 6 years ago and the experience was awesome. It’s not an old people cruise line. I AM NOT OLD Jay!!!!

Completely jealous you got to sail on her! She's a beaut! Great review and fair assessment of Celebrity overall.

I definitely noticed how talented the entertainers are, and elegant is where it's at for me.

I really enjoyed your review of this ship! The cabin you showed, with the enclosed balcony area reminded me of the juliet balcony I had on a river cruise earlier this year (which was amazing - everything on 2 floors!) I really liked it. It is important to me that the 'included' food retains its quality (after covid) as I have seen other reviews of Royal Caribbean that reflect a reduction in quality and choice.

We are 70's but not quite dead. We both love the sophisticated Edge class ships. The Apex is my favorite, but we love the Beyond as well. Carnival has a lot of youngsters..

The garden on that ship is beautiful! I appreciate the pros and cons. I don’t enjoy loud dining so I’d probably opt for an alternative if I ever go on that ship.

@simplicityncube451

Жыл бұрын

Beyond has 4 main dining rooms and the sound is down

I think the port time issues is due to the lower cruise speed of the edge class ships. As an example the solstice class ships make Puerto Rico in 1 full sea day from port Everglades with a 8-9 am port call. On our last sailing on apex it took over 1.5 days to get to Puerto Rico with a late afternoon port call.

Oh man, we saw you cruising out when we were coming in on the Edge last week I guess. Was a cool nighttime pass by. We did suite class! It’s expensive AF but was the most amazing vacation I ever had. Was so awesome we booked Beyond suite class for next year (yes, expensive AF even more 😆 but totally worth every penny). The retreat is insane luxury.

Loved this! I think the issue with getting a younger crowd is probably the price! Ive cruised dozens of cruises on Royal, I did a couple Carnival (fun, but deff not for me) but 5700 for a balcony room is like 2.5 royal cruises! Can't really justify that, I think it attracts the older crowd because they know alot of people wont pay that and it wont be as wild...

I really enjoy your videos, J! We took our first Celebrity cruise back in May and loved it. We had Retreat Class cabin (think it was called the Royal Suite, maybe) and the service was the best we’ve ever had on any cruise line we’ve cruised. The night life (as you said in the videos) was a little lacking but I think that was more due to the size of the ship (not as many venues) as larger cruise ships. We’ll take another Celebrity cruise next May in Europe for two weeks and (also Retreat Class in a Royal Suite) and will have the exact same cabin number as we had on this past cruise. Food, service and shows are the best we’ve ever had on any cruise line. Have fun in Europe this summer!

Beyond has been my first and only cruise and it truly changed my whole view of cruises and travel, enjoyed every bit of the experience. Shout out the the amazing crew as well

Love the review! Great balance of both pros and cons

Classy, elegant layout of the ship…..wow!!!! Thanks for sharing 🛳️🛳️

I love celebrity, it’s nicer and the staff is better.

Hey J, I was just disembarked Apex the day before you got on Beyond. I feel like this video reviewed the cruise I was on. I whole heartedly agree with your assessment. Also, I would like to see a comparison between this experience and Virgin as I am interested in sailing Virgin. Thanks for the video, I enjoy your style of evaluating various ships.

Great review Justin. I had a great time on the Beyond and I agree with you about the short times at some ports, maybe they should cut out one, but still, all in all, we had fun!

I really enjoy your cruise reviews. Keep them coming. You got me planning my next cruise.😃

Great review as always and yes, a comparison video will be great.

Captain Kate makes that ship rating 11/10.

Captain Dimitri. He’s hilarious

Very excited to see your review of the Beyond as we will be sailing on her this fall for a European itinerary. I had to chuckle at your buffet review. The two of us traveling have done a few high end (as in Wynn, Bellagio, and Caesar’s) buffets in Vegas and finally realized the buffet thing is not really for us. We want all the love and attention to go into the meals we order. We may try the buffet once during the cruise but are looking forward to Blu and Luminae as our main dining and have already booked 3 highly rated specialty restaurants. I’d guess that’s why Celebrity put so much thought into their sit-down dining and let the pizza and buffet be less important. I like pizza but I don’t seek it out on a cruise.

Well... CALL ME OLD! 😂... Because... I'm ALL IN when it comes to "Celebrity Cruises"... LUV'em! The accommodations!... The food!... The Entertainment!... The Bars/Lounges!... The Staff!... and oh yeah... VERY few children running amok! 👀 Love me some "Celebrity" 💙

Love the video very informative😊

Excellent review, man! Thanks!

Great information man! Looking forward to our next cruise!

Your video was incredibly informative. Celebrating my wife's birthday on the Beyond in March was an amazing experience, and we were truly impressed with the exceptional service. Captain Kate was fantastic, cruise director Luigi was exceptionally energetic, and the waiters and cabin maid, as well as the entire staff, left a lasting impression. We particularly enjoyed the Eden cafe. It seems there is a higher proportion of older individuals on board.

Thanks for sharing this video. It has been so informative!!

Keep those vids coming. Great content my man! 💪

Awesome! I wish I knew it was coming in today. I would have taken my kids to see it! You have the coolest footage!!

thanks for the review. I have not tried any Edge class yet so will need to look into it.

I love how, nice you are and polite

Just went on the Ascent for my first cruise ever and had an incredible time, I imagine for any cruises in the future i’ll stick with Celebrity or higher end Royal ships. Great video, love how easily you convey your points.

Great review will definitely be looking into this ship 👍

Watching your channel definitely makes me really want to go on a cruise since I’ve never been on one. You make cruising look so fun and effortless.❤

Thank you for this review. When I get a chance, I would love to try out Celebrity as I am a fan of Royal Caribbean and want to branch out to other lines. You are current, the ship does look elegant from the reviews I've seen. One day, I'll make it to the Beyond. I'm in my late 40's and enjoy a vibrant ship with a youthful feel to it but ultimately, I book based off of itinerary. Going to try my first ever Holland America cruise this summer so hopefully, I won't be bored during the 4 sea days (19-day Mediterranean cruise). Would love to see a review from you on HAL. :)

This ship is definitely my vibe. Thank you so much for your review.

Now I NEED to book this vessel. Been aboard other Celebrity ships and always impressed.

The App is the same for check in and the the procedure for safety and going to the muster station on the celebrity was the same when I traveled recently in RC independence of the seas. Great review!

Nice ship. Good to know what to expect on board.

Hey Bro, love your video. Happy to have met you.

We were on the Norwegian Sun with NCL at the start of April 2023 this was right after they slashed their entertainment budget and stopped doing “broadway shows” what we were left with was a string of guest performers and the in-house “ show choir” with their review shows. I did like the old school set up of the Stardust theater the seats were incredibly comfortable !

Just love all your content. Don't let creeps stop your talk. I love it all! ❤

Have to agree, some of the best food out there! Le Voyage was amazing, and that truffle burger in Le Grand Bistro??? Crazy good! Love your videos!

I ĺiked hearing a brother talk about shows and enjoy them!!! Ive never been on a cruise. I was surprised by the dog. I guess he was a service dog!!! For some reason, i love hearing about the drink packages, and of course seeing the food!! I saw those lobsters!!!!

Great video man! Those Harry Potter style moving portraits surrounding that stage lol They definitely are trying to bring in a younger crowd. Wild!

Good review.

Thanks for the reviews on this ship. The ship looks very elegant as you’ve said. I’m sure I would love it. The comparisons would be nice but not necessary. Like you said it’s pretty much what you make of it. Take is easy my friend😊

Great review! We sailed with Celebrity on a 7 night chartered cruise once in 2019 and thought their food was horrible. Hubby and I decided never again but, now I wonder if it was because it was a charter. I’ve seen a few other videos that talk up the food, we may have to give them another try especially on this beautiful ship. Thanks!

J. The Beyond is definitely calling us. Haven’t sailed Celebrity since 92’ so it’s time. Elegant the right choice of word. Agreed comparable to Princess. Looks like I would like the infinite balcony. The raised jacuzzis are different. Fair review on the food. Oh no captain Kate. Next time. Find that odd that there were no announcements of where you exit the ships in port. Overall a good review. Thanks for sharing. Don’t see the comparison to Virgin so yes; a comparison video would be great.

We were on this cruise also, think I saw you in the Grand Plaza once. We love Beyond and have a couple more booked on her in the next 18 months. While I t i k the dinner buffet has been cut back lately, I think the layout and overall quality is full better than Royal, especially Oasis class which is a real chore to maneuver.

Love it. The ship looks beautiful. Can't wait until you check out Disney's new ship and your review.

Thank you for a wonderful video!! Looking forward to experiencing the "elegance" of the Beyond in 2024!!! Enjoyed your detailed video....🚢

Looking forward to trying Celebrity, Princess and Virgin Voyage sometime soon! I will say with regards to the boarding pass on your Apple Wallet, the last two Royal cruises we took (Harmony and Wonder) we were able to put our boarding pass on our Apple Wallet too!

I have to say you are the best I just love ❤️ your shows - We have only Cruised with Carnival we have stepped out and booked a 7 day Cruise on the Prima for January 2024 so excited to try another Cruise Line hopefully we will love the Prima 🛳️

We are booked on the Beyond for October this year. 14 nights in the Magic Carpet Sky Suite. Yes, we will be in the Retreat!

This was a very thorough review. I enjoyed it. I agree, Celebrity has great food. Unfortunately, I haven't sailed on celebrity is over ten years. I will be back. Now I seem to be a Holland America kick. They also have excellent food. I am afraid that if Celebrity purposely goes out and tries to attract a younger crowd, the elegance of the ship will be wasted and the experience for guest will change. As I recall, Celebrity still maintained some formality and many younger cruisers like to be less formal.

@benjaminsmith2287

6 ай бұрын

It's not just younger people that like to be less formal. It's most people in society. I prefer the HAL Rotterdam to the Edge ships. HAL has the Music Walk and nothing like this is on Edge. HAL has Crow's Nest and nothing like this is on Edge. Celebrity has deleted their signature areas and made this some sort of Retreat specialty ship in the top front of the highest 3 decks and it doesn't even have an observation lounge with large windows. The service style is formal and there may still be some formal and informal nights but there's an emphasis on extra cost features all over the ship and especially an almost excessive choice of "specialty" dining venues. Every ship has them but the Edge takes them up a notch or two.

Whoa $5,700.00😲😲. I'm thinking of where I can travel too overseas Milan Spain, Rome, Greece Dubai for Two. I'm older but I prefer a mix of ages cruising and not lights turned off at 9pm. 😁

We were on the same cruise, was amazing to see you guys.

Disney cruise lines also offers adding your boarding pass to your phone wallet! Super convenient

Going in a few months. So looking forward to it!😊

Just Went on my first Celebrity Cruise on the Edge, and it was a game changer. The service, the atmosphere, the ship, everything is beyond top tier. I would 1000% go again, I’m actually looking to book my next one now.
