Just finished a Princess Cruise. The food was painfully bland and overcooked. There was nothing premium about the food.

No offense, but I couldn’t watch your whole video. It took you forever to get to your good review IF you ever did any. I gave you a thumbs up for just posting and your time.

I understand that Celebrity Beyond has assigned seating times. Is this true? What if you get an 8:30 p.m. time and you want to eat earlier? Can you?

I sailed on the Apex for a transatlantic in Nov of 2023. I will be taking the beyond for a Caribbean cruise for April of 2025. I loved the Apex and cant wait to try out the Beyond.

We just got off of the Carnival Vista and it was the best buffet food and outstanding Steaks at the Horizons restaurant. It was a great cruise and I was not a Carnival fan prior to this . I’ve been on Disney, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Celebrity (worst food)

Excellent video, very informative 👍

One of our friends is going to run a show on a Crystal cruise. Sherri Mocheit.

Used to live in Juneau. Best time to whale watch is probably early in the season or later. Later in the season the humpbacks are migrating down to Hawaii.

Thank you for such a thorough review. I think the older versions of the Voyageur have the shelf/divider in the main side but no compression straps. The newer versions removed the divider, added the compression straps, moved the wet pouch, and slightly different interior material. They are selling both versions now which are delivered at random depending on their inventory. I agree with you that the compression straps would be much more useful if they were attached lower in the case. I enjoyed watching your review.

Love your reviews. We are absolutely thinking of taking this cruise from Barcelona this August. We have been on many cruises, but this one looks different, unique. And, we do not like the main dining room either.

That looks like the 28" Voyageur. I don't think Level 8 makes a 26" with a handle on the front like that.

How are the onboard expenses set up. I've cruised with a few different cruise lines but never crystal.

Please share how your large, Level8 yellow suitcase is holding up. I’m on the fence of either a Briggs & Riley OR the Level8 for my large, checked suitcase (my poor Tami is 20 years old and is time to be replaced 😀)

Going on my first Celebrity Cruise in August! Thank you for the detailed review.

Scheduled on the Mardi Gras Oct 2025 on a Journey cruise. We have a standard balcony on the 14th floor also, cannot wait to get on this vacation. Usually go every other year on a cruise, but Covid cancelled us twice, so, we are ready and excited!!! Thank you for the video!

Great review thank you so much.

We have enjoyed the Sanctuary on several Princess Ships. We have found it comfortable and one of the quieter places on the ship with excellent service. We usually booked a half day in the morning or afternoon and it’s rarely ever seems fully booked. It must be one of the best kept secrets on Princess ships

What's this cabin number?

I have never heard of Swan Hellenic, thanks for reviewing this as it looks like a really nice cruise line to try.

Swan Hellenic has really nice rooms. Thanks for showing this deep dive review.

YES, BAR SOAP!!!

I think "please wait" maybe for cabin stewards to clean your room.

My lovely wife, Roxie, and I are doing our 1st cruise of any kind. We’re going on the Viking Iconic Western Mediterranean cruise in May 2025. One question I have is the custom of gratuity, or tipping as is so common (and increasingly expected 😠!) in the U.S. Do we tip onboard and excursions, etc? Thank you for your in depth videos - we’ve learned a lot 👍😃 Pete Featherly North Carolina

We are going on Celebrity Beyond this October- our first cruise! Thanks for your very informative blog. Looking forward to your blog on the ships dining.

The Sanctuary is worth every dime and dollar it charges. It’s the first stop I make after, sometimes instead of, going to my cabin. On longer cruises, with lots of sea days, it’s great!

Wonderful review, blessings from England

Really like the Bar Tab idea vs other cruise lines. Great video!

You call yourself President.wow

I would spent plenty time at Dutch Cafe 😅 therefore dont have travel to holland fro Australia😂

Wonderful tip! Thank you for this video!

DId you find your keys?! :D Thank you for the insights. Looking forward to our first one November.

So…….if you can’t eat spicy food at all……is there anything at Tamarind that is eatable?

Thank you so much for the review. Very detailed and helpful. Saw an uncomplimentary one of Facebook and have been wondering if to go for monos instead. I wish they'd offer a 50% off. 😂😂😂😂

No shelves because in rough seas things go crashing. Imagine all that potential broken glass on your bath floor! Really Experienced cruisers would have known that. I’ve seen huge messes when people didn’t stow things properly in rough weather. I alway keep that in mind when I arrange things.

great video, thanks

So happy to see Peggy’s comment, we are 62 & 64 and worried we would feel old on Virgin. Thank you!

I just got a queen. Hopefully my brother and I can get it into my house. I also have a dolly to help.

Well done. Thorough! I may consider an expedition ship!

Looks like a great trip. Hopefully Rickee recovered well. Did you end up getting Covid later?

Self service Oh NO!

Thank you for sharing. Wonderful video! I hope the covid was a mild case. Blessings

Great to meet you on board and lovely to watch this back!

Good review on which rooms to book. Curry Mutton....yum! ! Bummer on the covid. Sorry to hear.

We are foodies and Virgin was not a cruise line 🚢 we should try BUT this review changed our minds .

Good review 🙏 nice looking ship and staterooms

We're going on our first Celebrity cruise this August on the Beyond. Thank you for your reviews! Very very helpful.

Thank you!

I am surprised No new ship from this cruise line

Good and fair review. I agree with everything you said

Is scoops included in the cruise fare!
