Celebrity Beyond

Great Trip !

April

Pros: Beautiful Ship, Great service, great food, great entertainment

Cons: not enough outlets in room. Not enough deck chairs around pool. Three excursions were not that great.

Recommended: Yes

Totally recommend Celebrity. In many ways the best cruise we have ever been on. Service was excellent. Most passengers were seniors, which for us, was good. Very few children. Also good. Disappointed with the islands. Only Barbados was up to expectations. We thought eastern Caribbean would be a little more upscale. Two out of Five excursions were very good. Barbados and Antigua.

Great ship

March

Pros: Beautiful ship, good layout, multiple main dining rooms, well organized cabins, amazing production shows

Cons: More expensive rates, expensive excursions, not many activities other than music on some nights

Recommended: Yes

Overall a very nice cruise.

Celebrity Beyond 11 night Panama Canal and ABC islands

February

Pros: Seeing the new locks, very good food, relaxing trip, good ports

Cons: Infinite balcony window NEVER got cleaned, useless to look through. Ship excursions could have been better organized.

Recommended: Yes

Overall the ship was beautiful, food was very good in both specialty and complimentary dining rooms. We enjoyed the trivia games and the entertainment that we went to. Nice mix of sea days and ports. Main complaint was that the Infinite Veranda window was NEVER cleaned. Dirty on Day 1 and stayed that way. Steward asked twice and management told her we were on the list to be cleaned but it never happened. Very disappointed that we had no clear view unless we put the window down which we did in order to take clear photos. Will not get that type balcony ever again. The Cartagena Roadster tour was a little disappointing since we thought we'd be IN the roadsters for the tour but had to walk first and visit an emerald place that was mostly a shopping stop before ever getting in a roadster. After getting the car we basically retook the walking/bus tour and the guide reiterated a lot of the same info. Should have been in the roadsters from the start. The meal at the end was very good so that was a plus, and driving through Getsemani was fun. Our ship tour in Bonaire was very odd. Windows were small with pulled back curtains, a very obscured view on both sides. We weren't allowed out of the bus to take photos of the flamingos so people were passing their phones across the aisle so those of us on the left side of the bus could take photos for them. Large unobscured windows would have been much better. It was a relaxing cruise with many sea days which we enjoy, there was always something to do if we wanted to do it.

Southern Caribbean

February

Pros:

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

wonderful ship, wonder cruise, would do it again, would sail Celebrity again and would recommend

Panama Canal cruise

January

Pros: The staff on this ship were absolutely amazing.

Cons: Pool area was always crowded and hard to find any seats.

Recommended: Yes

The staff were absolutely amazing. Always friendly and willing to help.

Wonderful Trip to Panama Canal and ABC islands

January

Pros: The ship is first rate, the staff is outstanding and the food was superb

Cons: I had to search my mind for any 'cons'. There had to be two full days at sea both heading south and north. Not my favorite but you have to be at sea to reach the canal.

Recommended: Yes

The staff we interacted with were just outstanding. The cabin steward, Agus, could not have been more helpful. Arvin and his staff in the Normandie restaurant did a fabulous job. We witnessed some guests that were not easy to please, and the staff handled them with patience and respect. I would not have been as kind. The sights we saw were very good but really the staff on the ship made the trip

Awesome cruise

December

Pros: Staff, food, entertainment

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

We had a wonderful time on our Celebrity Beyond cruise. First time in a beautiful Sky suite enjoying the amenities of the Retreat. The food in the Luminae was wonderful. Our cruise was made even more enjoyable by the outstanding crew we interacted with.

Wonderful in every aspect

December

Pros: The staff, food, entertainment

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

We were so impressed by everything on the Celebrity Beyond. The staff without exception was friendly and attentive to any need. Each staff member seemed to be happy to be there. The food was simply wonderful. Every meal was gourmet. I must give a special shout out to the Eden restaurant for serving us the best meal I have ever had (Im 74 and have eaten all over the world in many fine restaurants!). We were consistently amazed with the efficiency of each and every crew member working to make everything perfect. The Beyond ship is like the workings of the highest end watch, everything working together to run perfectly. The entertainment was fantastic! Such talented people. We will definitely be sailing again on this beautiful ship.

Beyond Cruise

December

Pros: Familiarity of boat, direct flight to location of pier, great staff, ports of call

Cons: Price, complicated initial WiFi access, some areas on board look tired

Recommended: Yes

Overall lovely cruise and wonderful staff. Celebrity shows were outstanding. Concierge and wait staff at Eden exceptional.

Do It Again

December

Pros: Excellent staff in all areas. Very accomodating

Cons: Don't have any

Recommended: Yes

Specialty restuarants were excellent. Both the Steak House and Eden. Very accomodating Mgr. in the Steak restuarant.

Crusing into my 80's!

December

Pros: Food was great! Buffets in the cafe were well organized. We had one server for dinner in one restaurant and she was great.

Cons: Waiting for dinner and trips. Singing in theater too loud!

Recommended: Yes

We felt that we should not have to wait in line for dinner. The wait in the theater for numbers to be called for excursions was endless. One excursion was 45 minutes late and we came early so we were waiting about an hour and a half. We did not like the "inside" balcony. I like to spend time reading on an outside balcony where there is no noise from the pool and I can enjoy the fresh air.

11 night Panama Canal

December

Pros: Staff and service

Cons: Infinite balcony

Recommended: Yes

The beyond is a beautiful ship the staff could not be more friendly and welcoming. However, I think future ships should go back to traditional balconies. The infinite balcony is like having no balcony. I should’ve saved money and just gotten an ocean view window. It would’ve done the same thing

PANAMA CANAL

December

Pros: GREAT STAFF

Cons: TO SHORT

Recommended: Yes

LOVE LEONARD IN THE RETREAT RESAURANT, HE WAS ALWAYS READY WITH IF THE FOOD HAD ANY NUTS IN IT (AS I AM EXTREAMLY ALLERGIC) HE KEPT OUR DRINKS FULL, IF I HAD TO GIVE HIM A NUMBER RATING IT WOULD BE A 10. SHETTY OUT ROOM BUTLER THE SAME GOES FOR HIM, HE'S A 10 ALL AROUND

Beyond to Panama Canal Dec 2024

December

Pros: staff excellent

Cons: not enough food choices in Luminae

Recommended: Yes

lunch in Luminae limited selections.

Joann’s entourage

December

Pros: Overall it was extremely well organized.

Cons: Bus arrival at ship and departure from ship was hectic.

Recommended: Yes

Wheelchair access was not explained well for bus arrival. Buses needed signs in front windows as to which bus it was for trip home. No way to tell.

11 night Panama Canal

Pros: Staff and service

Cons: Infinite balcony

Critique

December

Pros: Veranda part of room gave extra space

Cons: Not much opportunity for older singles

Recommended: Yes

Dining tables should be mixed couples/singles (As a single I was supposed to be seated w/3 couples I knew women; instead put w/2 couples from 4 hrs away at home) Kosher meals better than on allure of the seas w/frozen glatt kosher choices People from foreign countries near each other should b seated together(i.e.,Antwerp & Netherlands)

Compliments for planning service and Celebrity Beyond Cruise

November

Pros: Everything about the ship was wonderful. Great layout for activities and ease to navigate on the ship. Aqua class balcony room was unusual and a great choice.Dining rooms, food and service was top notch. Entertainment was also great! Amazed how many talented people there are and each day was a new experience in the theater.

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

This was my first Celebrity experience. Appreciated opportunity to enjoy table for two with my friend instead of previous experience on other lines being expected to dine with six or eight strangers. The Buffet had a wide selection of various world cuisines with items changing daily. We enjoyed the adult only pool solarium lounges and thermal spa offerings. Will definitely have Jodi help plan future sailings on Celebrity.

Fantastic Vacation on the Celebrity Beyond

October

Pros: Beautiful ship, amazing staff, wonderful dining venues, Captain Kate is superb

Cons: Port Everglades Terminal is a little difficult to maneuver through

Recommended: Yes

The Celebrity Beyond is a fantastic and beautiful ship filled with the most attentive, polite, friendly, and caring crew members I’ve ever encountered on a cruise! The Captain, Captain Kate, is so awesome as well. She is always out and about around the ship whenever she can and will stop and take pictures with the cruise guests every single time. There are so many areas to explore on board and the theatre and the entertainment there is fantastic too. The dining venues are beautiful, the shopping is top tier, and I highly recommend Celebrity Cruises and the Beyond to anyone who wants to be pampered on a daily basis!

Beyond Great

September

Pros: service, friendliness, entertainment, Luminae restaurant

Cons: Lot of people, seating difficult in the smaller venues. Have to arrive an hour early to get a decent seat.

Celebrity is perfect mix between luxury and relaxed. No jackets needed ever anywhere. At the same time, many elegant dining experiences and entertainment. Very few children on Celebrity cruises. Definitely an adult experience.

Cruising with Beyond

August

Pros: Beautiful ship, excellent staff, great activities, Great buffet, spacious suite

Cons: No clocks in the spa area, no hooks in the suites, More vegetarian options in the restaurants.

Recommended: Yes

My daughter and I had a wonderful time on our ABC cruise. We loved the Sea . The problem was there were no clocks anywhere . This made it very difficult to time yourself especially if you had a massage or facial scheduled. We had a suite which was lovely, but there wasn't anyplace to hang up cldothes which were damp or wet. Hooks were needed for clothes, hats, purses . The staff were wonderful, food yummy, shows weregreat,, and the ship was beautiful.

A Gorgeous Ship and the ABCs

July

Pros: beautiful ship, fabulous crew, Caprain Kate and Bug Naked (if you're lucky!)

Cons: slight challenge with gluten-free food in the buffet; may not get all the production shows if the cast has just changed over

Recommended: Yes

The Celebrity Beyond is a beautiful ship. So much art! The crew is fabulous! If you're lucky enough to sail with Captain Kate, don't miss her doing the Martini Bar show, her Oceans Away presentation, and Bug Naked trivia!! The only slight negatives were 1) the Production Show case had just handed over even though they were not ready to do all their shows so we only got 2 of the 3 (I'm used to another line (starts with Dis and ends in ney) where they'd never dream of handing over to a cast not ready to perform all their shows); and 2) the gluten-free bread station was not always staffed, which was especially problematic at breakfast as that is who would need to make gluten-free toast...the crew member there walked away one morning and I figured they would be right back, 10 minutes later they had still not returned. BUT the Eden cast and their shows were amazing (get there EARLY!) and the rest of the gluten-free food situation was fine.

Beyond my expectations

July

Pros: Beautiful ship, great choice of activities, quick embarkation and disimbarkment, nice shops, lovely ports

Cons: dont like the constant changing of prices for amenities, wifi should be part of the cost of cruise,

Recommended: Yes

Overall overall loved the cruise, but a couple of the waiters were having a bad day. The food in the buffet and paid dining was wonderful, but the regular dining rooms were not as good as I have had on Celebrity in the past.

THIS SHIP WAS MAGNIFICENT

July

Pros: the staff is great and we love the solarium setting

Cons: Both pools need steps into the pool instead of ladders for senior citizens

Recommended: Yes

We will most definitely be back on board as soon as practical.

A summary about the ship Beyond

June

Pros: a beautiful ship with great sculptures, paintings and decor. The service was exceptional.

Cons: Like in all of the other ships the daily announcements by the captain could not be heard in some of the locations.

Recommended: Yes

The evening shows were the Best we have ever seen.

ABC Cruise

May

Pros: Absolutly beautiful ship. Great food, great entertainment, great service

Cons: Ship has a lot of steps, so if you are limited in walking, take this into consideration

Recommended: Yes

Would sail on again or any of the Edge class ships

Perfect get away

January

Pros: minimal children. 4 main dining rooms

Cons: buffet too crazy. ports were less than exciting (cozumel, bimini)

Recommended: Yes

First cruise on Celebrity. Beyond is a beautiful ship. Many other passengers I talked to had been on other cruises and agreed, this was a great choice of ships. Not the loud, craziness by the pool but if you are wanting a nice, almost quiet trip with minimal children this is for you. Food was fantastic.

Best cruise experience ever!

December

Pros: The Celebrity Beyond ship is very well designed with an exceptionally organized and friendly crew. Every detail is important. The food is excellent, the staff are kind and patient, the excursions are well planned and fun, and the ship is very clean!

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

The Panama Canal and Southern Caribbean cruise was absolutely wonderful! 10 out of 10! I would go again tomorrow.

Wonderful

December

Pros: Dining, activities, spa, and Beyond personnel were great.

Cons: Disembarking was not smooth.

Recommended: Yes

We would sail on Celebrity Cruises always.

Awesome Trip and Ship

August

Pros: Clean and Great Staff

Cons: The drink service at dinner at regular restaurant was slow.

Recommended: Yes

It was a great trip and the ship is incredible. Food was great. Loved Fine Cut and Rooftop Garden Grill. Overall, great trip!!!

Beautiful new ship has it all

July

Pros: Outside veranda stateroom views especially at sunrise and sunset! Amazing ports and excursions offered. Onboard activities for everyone. So many restaurant choices with great food and drinks. Friendly staff and the best service. Fabulous entertainment options, shows, productions, music, comedians and magicians. Big enough ship you can find space to relax alone or with friends.

Cons: The only con was when the cruise ended - it went so quickly.

Recommended: Yes

We loved the option of having flights, transfers and the cruise organized through Celebrity because it gave us extra peace of mind knowing that their guarantee came with the booking. As soon as we stepped off the airplane in Rome we were greeted and taken care of by a Celebrity representative. Boarding and living on this all-inclusive hotel at sea for ten nights/eleven days is the best vacation offering anything you would ever want… relaxation & spa time, exercise, pools & jacuzzis, entertainment, so much food & so many drink options, views with sunrises & sunsets, waking up each morning somewhere new and exciting with excursion opportunities & on board activities for everyone. It’s an experience and an adventure and the best way to make forever memories!

11 Night Italy Turkey Greece Island

June

Pros: All staff was well trained and knew their roles and expectations

Cons: The 1st port in Sicily was closed to us. Was really looking forward to exploring the area. When we stopped in Istanbul Turkey it was their holy days. Lots of additional congestion in an already congested area. Maybe avoid scheduling sailings during this time

Recommended: Yes

Our stateroom attendant Jowie was phenomenal. Always a greeting, smile and very attentive. We had questions regarding excursions and Aneen was exceptional.

Too Big by One-Half

June

Pros: Good service

Cons: Limited menus in restaurants, poor room layout, not all expected stateroom ammenities

Recommended: No

Very nice ship, but just too big for me. The select dining worked well, but the menus in the four dining rooms were limited and unchanging. The stateroom lacked expected amenities -- slippers, hairdryer, stationary, pen. Ship's shore excursion didn't match descriptions. Shore excursions best described as long bus rides with limited time at destination.

Celebrity Beyond and Leisure Travel Enterprises (LTE)

June

Pros: Every element of the trip was wonderful

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

The entire trip was exceptionally well planned and flawlessly executed. The entire staff was superb, and the service always exceeded our expectations. Leisure Travel Enterprises (LTE) and notably, Briana was incredible, and they get my highest compliments for professional service. Without question, I would use them again and recommend them to others.

14 day transatlantic

April

Pros: Length, food, room, employees, activities, excursions

Cons: Post cruise travel arrangements and not seeing Azores

Recommended: Yes

We had a great time. Our concierge, Alexander, did an outstanding job making us feel comfortable and cared for. Another stand out is Jorge who greeted and helped passengers in the main dining. My all time favorite dining was at Garden top Grill. 5 stars to everyone there!!!

excellent voyage for all ages

March

Pros: superb dining in Blu, very friendly, personable crew

Cons: lack of sundrie/apothecary shop for personal health items

Recommended: Yes

We did not dine in the four main dining rooms. The experience in the Blu dining room was wonderful. Great activities director Luigi and Captain Kate. Varied age range of cruisers. Excellent staterooms in Aquaclass. Mixed response re: infinate verandah concept. Might prefer old fashioned balcony.

Our first cruise

March

Pros: Everything

Cons: zilch

Recommended: Yes

Placid seas; endless sunshine; superb, creative cuisine; outstanding entertainment, pampered service from every single member of the crew; stunning, tasteful architecture and furnishings; breathtaking visit to Tulum; access to the many luxurious amenities of the Retreat; we could not have asked for more.

Celebrity Beyond 7 night Caribbean Cruise

February

Pros: Love Ship, Suite Class Amazing, great food

Cons: Cabin was noisy on sea nights, ports of call were nothing special

Recommended: Yes

The Ship was the destination. Staff was amazing, food in luminae was fabulous, as was Eden. Suite accommodations were fabulous, spacious room, large bathroom. Only attended 3 shows, entertainment could be better, would love a off Broadway musical as a option one night. Ship overall is gorgeous. Staff very friendly and accommodating. We sailed on a ship with 3100 people and it never felt crowded.

Outstanding Everything

February

Pros: Beautiful ship and accommodations. Good food! Great drinks! Almost exclusively adults. Great onboard shopping.

Cons: We brought too many clothes. Port time went too fast!

Recommended: Yes

Our first cruise - a fabulous experience! Feel like we started at the top of cruise lines! Can’t wait to cruise again.

Beyond Celebrity

February

Pros: Beautiful, ornate ship; friendly, upbeat staff; fantastic Captain Kate, great drinks, excellent entertainment

Cons: Food was delicious, but missed the extra entrees that use to be available every night!

Recommended: Yes

Beautiful suite, Retreat, and Luminaii Restaurant! Also, Jerome was extremely helpful at Customer Service!!

Not the Celebrity that we are used to

January

Pros: The theater was spectacular and the production shows took full advantage of the multimedia capabilities. We loved the infinite veranda - especially at night with the window open.

Cons: The food quality and selection was not up to the standards that we have previously experienced on Celebrity. Did not like that there were only three unique entree options each night. The music played in the Grand Foyer area was way too loud to have an enjoyable evening. Conversations were not possible.

Recommended: No

We have sailed on Celebrity many times in the past. Unfortunately, on this ship it seemed like the entire vibe was different. I am hoping that this pertains to just this ship or the Edge class of ships and the rest of the fleet is as we remember it.

cruise to St. Maarten/ St. Thomas /Puerto Plata

January

Pros: staff was excellent/ food was good

Cons: small closet / house wine could have been better

Recommended: Yes

we had a good time, everything well planned.

Review of The Beyond

January

Pros: Service was great. Beautiful ship.Nice size cabins. The shows and entertainment were excellent.

Cons: Lack of variety at dinner. Food was mediocre. Prefer a real balcony to the veranda.

Recommended: No

I don't understand why they have 4 main restaurants withe almost the exact same menu every night. If there are a few items you don't like or if you have a dietary restriction, you end up eating the same thing night after night. The buffet at dinner was lacking. Only half the stations were open. The infinite veranda was just a fancy name for a window that opens half way from the top. No ability to actually go outside.

January 2023 Beyond Review

January

Pros: Temperature in public spaces was very comfortable. Theatre entertainment was excellent.

Cons: Infinite balcony room —— opening window is controlled by the bridge and will not always open when you want it open; safe is inconvenient and hard to use, toilet tissue is way too thin; TV selections are very limited; lack of electrical outlets on a new ship.

Recommended: No

No maps of the ports are available. Outdoor venue for daily movies does not have much shade or any cover from rain. Unable to make standing reservations for time and table in main dining room. Specialty restaurants are very pricey.

Beyond in december

December

Pros: Stunning ship. Sculptures and wall hangings beautiful. Four ethnic restaurants a real treat. Crew very nice. Cabin beautiful. Theatre very special.

Cons: Specialty coffees in cafe AL bacio inconsistent. Would have appreciated classical music on board and in cabin on TV channel.

Recommended: Yes

A very special ship. Walking track varied and interesting. Best prime rib I ever had. Beautiful cruise ship. A feast for the eyes.

Beyond belief

October

Pros: Entertainment

Cons: Stateroom

Recommended: Yes

Best entertainment I ever saw on a cruise ship. State of the art theatre and 3 mind blowing production shows. Amazing pianist, magician and a comedian that was actually funny. Not a fan of the stateroom with what is supposed to be a balcony but is really an extension of the room with French doors and a window that opens buts cuts the ac when opened a crack. Also storage is limited with maybe 6 inches between the bed and closet. Food excellent although menus are not that extensive. Plenty of seating in buffet as well. Embarkation very easy. Ship mammoth but tasteful and not built as a quasi amusement park or shopping mall. Some staff new and experienced. The male captain was part of 2 theatre experiences and was incredibly funny. The new female captain was actually a passenger but appeared on stage in a trivia contest with and about her cat bug naked.

Beyond our Expectations

September

Pros: Beautiful accomadations, start of the art technology with enhanced wi-fi. Outstanding entertainment, food and customer service.

Our vacation was so incredible and over the top. that it is hard to imagine our future vacations being as enjoyable. From our accommodations to the service, activities and excellent food, to the breathtaking ports of call we visited, our vacation was truly like living a dream
