if i book this hotel do i get to go to the other marina el cid hotel and use their ammenties?
Yes! You have full access to Ventus and Marina El Cid.
The video was very helpful. I always cruise with Royal Caribbean. Been looking at this cruise ship. Thinking of getting the Edge Villa. I just want to relax and take a slow pace. Glad you like the GYM. That is a must. I agree with one of the other comments. You have a great voice. So you would travel Celebrity again.
Thank you so much! If you want to relax and take it slow, Celebrity Beyond is definitely for you! And yes, we would absolutely travel with Celebrity again.
Great video presentation with just one disappointment. You skipped the casino and that’s just as important spot and any.
Yeah, we noticed that during editing. We don’t gamble, but we should have added some info on the casino. Thanks for your comment!
Great video. Please send info about the hotel deal.
Thanks! Email us at leadbyliving@gmail.com and we will send you info.
Excellent video!
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it!
Nice review, as others have mentioned the narration is great (relaxing voice). I have only cruised on P&O (until this year) where we tried a short 4 day taster cruise on Celebrity. This was Apex rather than Beyond but the same class of ship. Agree that this class of ship is a cut above others (including P&O) and particular highlights were the embarkation and disembarkation efficiency, the quality and range of the buffet offerings and the staff professionalism and demeanour. The Solarium is "adult only" with a caveat, in that there is a time slot in which that is relaxed and children are allowed (we found that this included young children using the jacuzzis despite age warning). So clearly this is a premium class cruise (for those unable to afford the small ship high end lines). Despite all that we are unsure yet whether we would make this our go to cruise line for a couple of reasons. The main one is that we are now technically pensioners (took early retirement at 58) and the cost in total appears to average out around 40-50% higher cost for equivalent cruise itinerary than P&O. Therefore on our limited budgets its a case of weighing up whether getting that 5* experience outweighs having perhaps more or longer cruises with P&O. Also we did feel that on the Apex we were thinking that we may have found the available areas a bit restrictive if it had been a 14 day cruise compared to how we felt on the liners we have sailed on with P&O. (note I understand that P&O is a very "British" cruise line compared to the more "International feel" of others). If we were still working then we might have a different opinion.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your very detailed and informative comment!
What a wonderful description of this ship and very classy.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are glad you enjoyed it. If you have not subscribed yet, please consider as it really helps the channel.
I'm gonna try another cruise line but not ti😊ll I get platinum
We are trying to get to the Platinum level too, lol.
So glad we came across your review. Excellent!!! My wife and I are going on Beyond later this year. Thank you...
Glad it was helpful! You guys are going to have a blast!
Excellent review! I was wondering which cruise line to take for my first cruise!
If you are bringing kids, I don’t suggest Celebrity. I recommend one of the Royal Caribbean ships.
nice video
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I little confused from the other video about 4 differents complementary restaurants. How it is work. Are you not have a restaurant with table set up ?
In addition to the buffet restaurants, there are 4 complimentary sit down restaurants in which you have a waiter.
@@LeadByLivingTravel so, you are not assigned to a specific complementary restaurant?
Thank you for the video. We will be on the ship on two months.
Awesome! You guys are going to have a blast! It was one of our favorite trips!
Thanks for your grest review. Id like to ask are all three hotels on the same property? And can you use all the restaurants and amenities regardless of which hotel you stay at?
Great question! All three are on the same property. Ventus Ha is the newest one and is across the street. And yes, you have access to all the restaurants and amenities regardless of the hotel you stay in.
This title is misleading. I was worried it wasn't good based on this title but then you clearly loved it. Great video. Going on it soon.
Glad you liked it! I’m sure you are going to have a blast! If you have not already subscribed, please consider, it helps the channel. Thanks!

Sur la table is the WORST company.. do not support them. not that its common knowledge. but learn from your mistakes and dont suggest this place to others. if you want to know why, read reviews, im not the only one lol.
I’ve only had good experiences the two times we’ve been.
Its not for everyone! But i have to say that of all the cruise lines i have sailed…..this one was the best for me!!! This was my 2nd celebrity sailing…..the food was so good!! Omg!! I was just happy at the buffet! I met a lot of fun people also! My coworker is Mr Cruise….& goes on about 4 cruises per year…..he did not like celebrity!! He told me it was for old people! He said it was wheel chair city! (We are both in our 60s!). He prefers Royal Caribbean…. I found it to be very adult….and there were many different age groups ! What i really loved was the fact that the gym was open 24 hours!!! I was there every day! My sailing was one of the best cruise experiences i have had…….i hope to go back very soon! Thnx for your video!
Thanks for sharing! We really loved that ship!
Thanks for sharing your personal experience. Well done.
Thanks for watching! We had a blast!
Well-made video & outstanding narration! Agree, even older Celebrity Millineum ship was an amazing experience. No words can describe the decadent food. Excited for upcoming Celebrity Beyond in July!
Thanks for your kind words! I’m sure you are going to have a blast!
Thanks for sharing this ... im going there in a few days
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
This was very informative! I need to check this out
Glad it was helpful!
Can we still get the discounts?
Yes
The water fountain was definitely disgusting but what was the purpose of the cameras ?
lol, I don’t believe the cameras were real.
We’re heading to Grand Luxxe in 2 weeks! Can’t wait! Thank you for this informative video.
Hope you enjoy it!
I was just there..its beautiful 🩵.but its very hot that the pools feel like a hot Jacuzzi... Maybe visit in the months of fall or winter.😁
Yes, the pool did get pretty warm, but we still had a good time. We will consider going in the winter. Thanks for your comment!
Ma’am you are so picky wow !!!
Yes, I am very picky especially when it comes to food.

Have there been any reports of crime or any Cartel issues on property??
Absolutely zero reports of crime or any Cartel issues. I think the media sometimes make things sound worse than it actually is. We have traveled to Mexico a lot and has never felt unsafe,
@@LeadByLivingTravel Thanks for the positive feedback !
As much as we travel I haven’t acquired the art of traveling light, I pack for every eventuality!!😆
lol! Yes, it is an art. Annette is much better at it than I am. Where are you guys traveling next?
Great insight. Especially with the bags. Thanks for this!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting!
I usually take 1 roller carry-on along with a small backpack to fit under the seat. Definitely trying my best not to check any bags!
You are a smart man! Carry-ons make things so much easier! Thanks for sharing!
your carry on bag is not regulation: 22in high (incl. wheels and handles) x 9in deep x 14" wide.
You are probably right! I don’t think the airlines are so strict with following those guidelines because it has not been a problem so far.

Our 1st cruise we really didn't know what to pack and we overpacked. I vowed never again and am now carry-on only for many of the reasons you noted. It saves time at the airport, I love being able to self disembark easily. My husband and I each have a carry-on and personal item. I carry the maximum size of each. The key for me is rolling and I dont use packing cubes, except for our undergarments. Great video!
We tend to overpack sometimes too, lol. But we love the convenience of the carry-on! Thanks for your comment!

Hi! Just found your channel through the algorithms looking for Beyond reviews. I'm so happy to have found it and am now a subscriber. I am enjoying how informative your reviews are, you are pleasant to listen to, hubby enjoys you showed the fitness center! We mainly cruise Royal and looking to expand. Thinking Carnival or Celebrity next, Celebrity seems more our vibe. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Awesome! I strongly recommend Celebrity! Thanks for subscribing!
Yep, im the same way! Someone schooled me a few years ago and havent checked a bag since!
Life changer, isn’t it? Saves tons of time! Hoping you enjoyed the video! If so, it would definitely help our channel if you subscribed today!
@@LeadByLivingTravel ok! Same!
You rock! Thanks!
Unfortunately I can’t lift.
Totally understand! You can use the same rolling method with your personal item. Try it and let us know if it helps you pack more!

I’m flying United and taking food this time as the grocery stores in California are to expensive but have you ever had any problems if you’ve flown United with being allowed to take that carry on as it looks wide? If they allow it that would be great for me
We fly United sometimes and have never had any issues. Spirit is more likely to have issues if the bag is overstuffed.
Congrats to the winners I hope they were able to claim :)
