I agree with you on the high end shop's most of us are lucky to go on the cruise let alone spend thousands at these specialty shops.
This video is so well done! Thank you so much!
I love the beyond and the edge class as a whole. Our favorite design.
Great and very thorough review. Absolutely beautiful ship. †đą đ
Nice review. yes a video on Port Taino, Dominican Republic. Thank you.
Beautiful ship! Excellent review!
Iâm going on the Beyond in September - Italy, Greece, Croatia and Montenegro. Very excited!
Thanks Ilana. Really enjoy your content. Very relevant. We are going on Beyond March 5th. Canât wait. We've been on many cruises, love Celebrity, but this time even more excited to explore this ship. Your Beyond videos have been helpful. Yes, please do Taino DR video. By the way, we are Canadian as well in Ontario. Nice to hear your perspective. Thanks, Gerry
Nice cruise coming up for you! Great to âmeetâ fellow Canadians! Enjoy đ„
I am beyond excited yo be on the Panama/Caribbean Christmas and over New Years cruise this year. 1st cruiser and learning a ton from your videos. Thank you!
Awesome cruise đđ
Just got back from our cruise on the Beyond and I'm in LOVE... the princess in me was BEYOND happy lol! Celebrity is our go to cruise line and the Edge class ship do take it to the next level. We ate at the Rooftop Grill and it was delicious, our first time trying a specialty restaurant. Regarding the boutique, yes they are high end, yes they are empty most of the time but I didn't care since I rarely shop onboard except maybe a watch when they have a nice sale.
I love your content and the thorough and organized way you present videos. As a new subscriber, can't wait to view past videos. Great work, thanks!
Welcome! So glad you enjoyed the video :)
Beautiful Video Illana! I like seeing what the nicer ships have to offer.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much
Yes please, video on Port Taino! Love your vlogs!!!â€
Will do!! (& thank you!)
Excellent review. Thank you for posting. We're cruising on the Beyond in March 2024 and this review is very helpful.
Thanks for another great video! đ
I Agree regarding the shopping. We usually like to get some gifts for friends and family. We like the shops like those on RC Allure of the Seas and her sister ship Oasis which offers more variety.
My wife and i were on the Jan 29 sailing going to the western Caribbean and Grand CaymanâŠ..we loved itâŠ.loved the ship..met some wonderful people and when we returned home; we booked an 11 day Panama Canal cruise next Jan on the this same shipâŠ.we agree that the shopping is too high end
Wow what a great review, as always. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
We just today booked for next August. These are so helpful.
I just last Sunday disembarked from the Celebrity Beyond and I can honestly say that your review is spot on. We were on the same itinerary as you and also found (surprisingly) Port Taino a very nice port. I really cannot add anything that you did not mention.
Iâm glad to hear your thoughts!
My wife and I booked a cruise on this ship for our 20th anniversary. We can't wait! Great video with tips and helpful hints. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! Happy anniversary đ„
Thank you for a great review, we havenât been on Beyond, are booked later on the year. Have been in various Celebrity cruises, we loved all the ships. Excellent service and food. We did Agua class in one just to try it, Blu restaurant was delicious! I did a bit of shopping, purse among them. They had all levels of shopping on the smaller ships. Thank you again, looking forward to Beyond now more then ever.đ
Thanks for sharing!
I have never considered going on a celebrity cruise until today. Great review and I will be checking into booking a celebrity cruise.
I will be on the Celebrity Beyond next February! Very excited.
This looks right up my alley! Thanks, Ilana!
Glad you enjoyed it đ
My wife and I were on the Beyond when she came down from New Jersey to Miami. We loved her. Our first Edge Class and NOT our last. We related to many of your comments. This was a great review and we enjoy watching you and your family.
Thanks for sharing your experience & I appreciate your comments đ
Great video...thanks for producing this as we have been very curious and interested in this vessel !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
We are doing the Ascent as soon as it gets on line. Absolutely love Celebrity. We have sailed all the ships. So much fun. đčđčđčđčđčđč
I was on the 4th sailing of the Beyond in the retreat Sky Suite. I loved it. Excited to try it again but in concierge class. You are right about the shopping. I think they need to have a more diverse option and they are missing out on revenue by just having high end shopping.
It must have been wonderful! Thanks for sharing & I agree, thereâs revenue to be had đ€Ł
My spouse and I are in love with the Edge class ships. I think they're magnificent. We're on the Beyond this winter for the first time and I cannot wait! These ships have the best entertainment, food, staff, atmosphere and rooms. They're simply stunning. We loved the infinite veranda. I do agree the shopping is extremely high-end, but it was fun for me to see the Hermes bags and such; I don't mind that I won't purchase them. Great review!
Oh pretty!!
I completely agree with you regarding the shopping. Itâs nice to have a look at expensive shops but to be completely out of reach for most people is mystifying.
Thank you, great review. You are right, it seems to be the new trend to place these high end stores on all newer ships. And they are not even inviting, as it seems there are just about 8 items in those stores. I would rather spend that money on another cruise. And YES, Taino Bay in D. R., I was really surprised, since I wasn't looking forward to this port, but ended up to be my all time favorite place. Absolutely loved the resort style feel and can't wait untill they're all done building it and to visit it again.
My husband and I will be on the Beyond in a few weeks. Thanks for all of the information - you answered a lot of our questions.
So exciting!! Enjoy
Wow that cafe and those cakes look amazing :) the ship looks stunning :) wish it would come to Australia
Thanks Illana! I love your videos, they are always so informative. I have to say I do love all the different dresses you wear, so cool and comfy looking ;)
I'm also from Montreal, and now live in Edmonton!
Thanks so much Lori! Fun that you live in Edmonton now. Sadly I havenât been yet
I'd enjoy a video on Port Taino! This seems like a new port for several cruise lines, and I don't know anything about it yet.
This video was perfect timing. We board Celebrity Beyond in 2 days. So excited to experience it first hand. Great tips as always.
Hope you enjoy it!
I agree with you on the shopping. I was just on the Majestic Princess and there were too many high end stores and usually empty. I would rather have stores that the majority of cruisers can afford to shop in.
Great review. Thanks
Thanks or this video. I'm going on Celebrity Beyond and I'm paying close attention to all your tips.
I must compliment you on this wonderful and informative presentation. I am impressed with the picture quality of your videos, which is especially good when viewed on a television.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it
Just booked this ship to do a back to back in March 25 Caribbean then Panama Canal and southern Caribbean . Loving watching your videos . We booked a deluxe ocean view cabins at the from of the ship . Thank for all the tips đ
Thanks for the helpful content. We are booked for next June. Agree with all the comments on the too high end shops. We don't shop endlessly, but it is always nice when we come across some well made or with a gorgeous design that doesn't cost several hundred dollars or more
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Llana. A great video, thank you. We have booked a cruise on the Beyond in May and are really looking forward to it. Also, in an infinite cabin as well. Your video certainly helped us answer questions that we might have had. We have already booked several excursions online and are really looking forward to the ships tour on one of the sea days. The last cruise that we did was in Alaska in 2019 and was disappointed with the overall service that we received. Fortunately, it wasn't Celebrity. We can't wait for our Celebrity Beyond cruise in 82 days.
Have a wonderful cruise!
I went 11 days for New Yearâs đand was amazing, beautiful ship đłïž .
We sailed the Beyond last Thanksgiving. We liked the Infinite Veranda and storage space. We tried all the main dining rooms. We have sailed numerous cruises with HAL. We love the variety of soups offered on HAL. They were very limited on Beyond. Service was very good everywhere. We loved the entertainment, definitely a plus. The shops were empty most of the time, I used to a mgr in a high end jewelry company and I think many people prefer to buy high ticket watches and jewelry from a trusted business in their own city. We are a multigenerational family and our 18 yr old grandson really missed the basketball courts on HAL. That is always his fav place to make cruise friends.
Thanks for sharing!
I have been looking for a cruise for 2024 for my birthday, and celebrity Beyond was one of our selections. Thank you for your videos. They were helpful in my decision to book the Beyond.
Glad it was helpful!
Great info. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
port reviews are really helpful for the "normal" among us lol what's the shopping like? how aggressive are the vendors? ect....I paid for the food on the ship...that's where I'll eat!
I'm sorry if you've done it already; but you're so good at talking about the different styles of cruisers and cruising.. a comparison video would be very interesting I think
since you've been on the cruises that explore the NE coast of North America (NYC, USA to Quebec, CAN) it would be really interesting (imho) for you to directly compare how different the feel is, since I hear Caribbean cruises are more a party, and the others, not so much
Ty again for all your videos! You're always so helpful and informative! đ
Thanks for the great ideas! I definitely have to try something like this :)
Thanks for the review! you have given us SO much good advice! My husband & I are sailing on the Beyond in 2024 for our 10th wedding anniversary for the 10-night southern Caribbean cruise. I went for as much as I thought I could afford, and we are getting a Magic Carpet suite. Hope I don't regret being under it!
Happy anniversary! Sounds like it will be wonderful đ
Earth_Dragon it appears that my husband and I are going on this same cruise, it's my husbands 49th birthday and he has never been on a cruise before, I hope I didn't choose the wrong cruise for him. I have been on cruises before but not for good 15 years. We are both looking forward to this cruise.
I was on the 7 day Eastern Caribbean cruise with the same ports. I loved everything about it. The ship was beautiful and our stateroom was adjoining with 2 others sailing with us. We LOVED the veranda and the view with our window down was wonderful with no obstruction. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful new ship with lots of wonderful amenities.
Thanks for sharing!
Yes, please post a video of Port Tanio in the Dominican Republic. This is a possible port we will visit in the future. Any details will be great!
You can absolutely wear capris in the main dining room in the evening on Celebrity. I have many times. Always with a nice top (casual, but slightly on the dressy side). Even years ago when the dress codes were a little more stringent.
Thank You!! We are sailing on Beyond for TransAtlantic, so we will have a lot of sea days. I am glad to hear they have activities to support 6 sea days in a row. BTW, I subscribed to your channel, as you are the most 'balanced' and genuine videos. Thank you....I would love some tips for a TransAtlantic if you have any.....
Exciting! The sea days on Beyond will be perfect to see even more! I have a reposition cruise video, with general tips. Iâm glad to hear your feedback on my videos - thanks!
Totally agree we missed the standard stores.
Lol, glad to know itâs not just me đ
We just booked a Panama/Southern Caribbean cruise on Beyond for next March! Hubby and I will be celebrating our 35th anniversary â€ïž. We chose this ship after watching your video.... thank you so much!
Happy anniversary!
Would love to see a video just about Port Taino. We will be headed there later this year
Great!! Iâll definitely do that
I have seen many of your videos and so far, for whatever reason, I was reticent to subscribe. I was wrong. As I have a Celebrity Beyond cruise planned I thought your direct approach most refreshing. You are not trying to entice. You are trying to inform. I really appreciate that. So I will gladly subscribe, and thank you! Well done!
We were on the Beyond for its first cruise and loved it. Too bad you didn't go the The Petite Chef, it was awesome! You were 100% correct about the shops. I saw a ring that I loved for $10K on the ship and found it at half price in Saint Martaan. We also enjoyed "Eden" every night... the ship is absolutely beautiful.
Next time! Thanks for sharing đ
I love the beauty of this ship! We recently went on the MSC Seascape and it was beyond gorgeous! I want to go on the Beyond for sure!
Great to hear! Weâre thinking of trying this ship
I was recently on Seashore and absolutely, beautiful ships! The Cabaret Rouge is the best nighclub at sea, stunning space (enough red velvet for a monarch!) and great energy from the cruise staff to start the party every night. It was as if the cruise activity staff was picked for their dance ability because they had coreographed performances. More entertaining than the dancers in the theatre. Food was superior to what I had heard and I liked the two smaller MDRs.
Would you go on MSC again? I will probably consider only if a really low price.
Hello ! Thanks for your informative videos ! I am a follower and like your videos very much! I would like to ask for guidance on this: we already cruises on the Apex , beyond and other celebrity cruises but for the very first time we booked the Sky princess to experience a new cruise line , this time is a family trip our priories when cruising are in this order : safety, Itineraries, fine dinning, cruise-room confort- quality of wine and cocktails- entertainment shows etc. actually this one before wine and cocktails đč đ, would you recommend us to keep cruising with Celebrity ( new ships ) or try princess ? Thank you!
Cruising on the Beyond tomorrow- Feb 19. I loved the Edge and looking forward to the Beyond.
Enjoy!!
I am going to be on the sister ship Apex on more or less the same cruise next January. Glad I made the decision for this line and ship for my first cruise.
Nice!!
Looks beautiful. Iâd love a separate video on port in DR.
Noted! Thanks for watching:)
Great video â€â€â€â€â€
Your video quality is excellent. Beautiful presentation. Iâd love to try Celebrity but I would want to try the infinite balcony and not sure if I want to spend the money.
Perhaps book a lower category and bid for an upgrade
Excellent review!
So glad you liked it!
Cruised on the Edge, loved it. Less kids is fine with me. Loved the infinate verandah.
The Edge also had empty high-end stores. We love the infinity balcony â€
Interesting⊠thanks for sharing
I'd like to see more of Taino Bay. Unfortunately, on our recent cruise, we had to skip this port due to swells. We were disappointed but hope we can get back there someday.
Too bad. I get the feeling this port is going to be even better, so hopefully youâll be back đ
We will be sailing on the Beyond at the end if March. We booked Aquaclass because the price was not much more than the normal veranda room. We have a mixed opinion about the infinite so I guess we will see what we think. Thanks for a great tour of the ship
Enjoy! Iâve heard great things about Blue
I'd like to hear more about Port Taino!
Iâve only sailed on 2 Celebrity cruise ships and they were on the older Solstice Class, but even on these less hip and cool ships I thought the stores were too high end. Of course they need to have some options for high end cruisers who have lots of discretionary income. But please let us mainstream cruisers without tons of extra income have a few stores with low to mid price items!! They only had ONE shop with T shirts, suntan lotion etc, but the selection was very limited and gave you very few options. The store was very bare and almost sad. Celebrity needs to definitely rethink their shopping options!!
Lol, hope they hear us đđ
Appreciate the videos! Iâm on the Beyond literally right now and itâs been exactly what I wanted. Sunset veranda no less. Certain things are not perfect, but still so much went so well too!
The shops were a non factor for us. Look pretty, but something I could easily pass without feeling the least bit uncomfortable or that we missed out on something.
Food overall was just fine with a few specific service issues and more with specific folks than the whole thing in general.
The true super stars aside from the bars were the pizza station (great if you got blasted with not enough food in you) and the cafe Al Bacio. Sweets and coffee heaven.
Glad to hear your experience! Enjoy the rest of your cruise đł
I would love to see more about Port Taino. I have never heard of this port.
Great!! Will do
On our last cruise on reflection in September they gave out free Effy pendants and then you could gather up the charms and then of course they wanted you to buy more charms. It seemed very cheap to me in quality
As always so interesting - thank you -
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Have you been to Greece? Looking for your comments?
Perfect Timing for this video. Leaving on 3/5 on the Beyond for our 2nd Celebrity cruise. Same itinerary. Looking forward to a few relaxing days post Hurricane Ian recovery!
Had a retreat level suite on Solistice and loved it. No bingo on that ship. đą
Booked infinite veranda on Beyond. Donât know if we will like it but we shall see. A beautiful ship but wonder if too big and high end for our tastes.
The 2023 price increases are quite shocking especially with cutbacks in service. We booked cruise only rate and after the price increases may have been more economical to have all inclusive rate.
Have a wonderful cruise!
I will definitely have to do this soon. Decor looks better. Restaurants are more upscale.
I totally agree!
Seventy-Nine Celebrity cruises I watch the shuttle changes on the line starting with the Zenith and Horizon. The Infinite Veranda is a clever idea. I don't like being on the traditional balcony withe "ship made" wind. Being able to enlarge you room by opening the bid-fold doors and leaving the window up makes for a great comfortable area to relax is a major plus.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for a great review. I agree the food wasnât up to par. Service was always excellent though. We had the infinite veranda. It worked out well because the first two days we had pretty bad weather and we could still enjoy the space and view! The stores were too expensive. And Cartier store only had watches. Kind of pointlessâŠI want to at least LOOK at expensive jewelry if itâs going to be there. đ
Thanks for sharing! Lol, only Cartier watches? Haha youâre right, at least a bracelet would be nice đ
@@LifeWellCruised CC
Would love to hear more about Port Taino!
Great!!
Omg love your room
Lemon bars alone are a reason to cruise Celebrity!!!!! Best video on Beyond yet. April is embarkation for us
Yum!! Thanks for watching
Awesome review ! Which floor was this hun ? Would love to have an idea on the room number if possible .. This room looks aesthetically perfect !
Agree re food in both dining room and Oceanview . January we were on Celebrity Eclipse and found the food not up to the same standard as other pre covid Celebrity cruises. Lacking in choice and not up to standard Ie cold or hard poached eggs, tough steak etc. They have also increased the price of a drink by $3 at least.As you say very accommodating crew , but thought they were niot quite at the same service level - probably lack of practice !
Thank you for doing this video. We are going in August. We have cruised several times before but new to Celebrity. We love Royal Caribbean and our travel agents suggested Celebrity. I am sad to hear about the shopping on board. The last cruise shopping was like that. I donât want to spend $10,000 on a cruise ship shop. I want to see more fun shopping and reasonable prices. This would make for a fun memory and souvenir when it is reasonably priced.
We really liked the Beyond. The ship is gorgeous and our Infinite Veranda cabin was a pleasant surprise (after looking at other videos that were less than flattering). We did wind up buying chocolates from the shop. I think our 'out the door' cost for a box of truffles (fantastic!), a box of assorted chocolates, and three bars of chocolates was a little over $100. However, there is a shop we go to regularly in Santa Fe, NM where we almost always drop $100 or more so we weren't that shocked. However, other than the truffles, the chocolate was just so-so.
We were in Aqua class so most nights ate in Blu which was very good. We did eat one night a Cosmopolitan and it was also very good. I am a little disappointed in the way the Edge Class ships handle dining (YMMV) in that if I want something off of one of the dining room menus (for example Normandie) but my wife wants something from a different dining room (Tuscan), we either have to eat separately or one of us will be disappointed. Although it didn't cause an issue, one way this did affect us is that my wife saw something on the Blu menu one night but I wanted something off of the Celebrity Signature menu (which is only available in the 4 main dining rooms according to the maitre d').
If there was a disappointing aspect of our cruise, it was dinner in Eden. My wife ordered the Lobster entree and didn't like it at all. We decided that if we go back to Eden, we'll just load up on crab cakes and call it good.
Thanks for sharing your experience as well! Super helpful
Port Taino was legit but if you're ok with walking check out: Umbrella street (about a 10min walk outside the gate), historic town square next to historic Catholic church (15min walk). Theres an old fort (20min). And there is an actual beachfront along a nice street full of local restaurants. We spent the bulk of our day outside Taino.
I love Effy, you can find something affordable. But the rest of the shops are really high end and most people canât afford or donât want to afford. I do wish they would have more affordable shopping. Loved your video.
Thanks so much!!
A group of 10 people including me and my husband, all in-law couples, will be on the ship next month. Your video helps much to get some idea how we will enjoy the cruise. đ
Have fun! So glad the video was helpful
We were on it's 1st eastern cruise in November in a Magic Carpet Sky suite. We mainly do Luminae and specialties but do buffet for breakfast & lunch. We will do a dinner here and there. The buffet for dinner was full like breakfast & lunch at that time. They announced starting 1st cruise of 2023 they were cutting back the buffet to half because of waste. More people were going to the main dining rooms and specialty than the buffet therefore a full size buffet was not warranted. So it's not to push people to pay extra like others insinuate.đ€·ââïž. Thanks for your review.
Great summary of the Beyond. We did a 5 day W. Caribbean right after New Year's and had a very similar experience to you overall. We loved the extra room that the Infinite Veranda added to the room (around 40sq. ft. I think) and we had continental breakfast there every morning. Food was very good (best steak ever in Fine Cut) but we were a bit disappointed with some of the service as they really seemed to want to rush us out. Wonderful shows each night and good quality of musicians playing around the ship. The martini bar got really busy in the evenings and took forever to get drinks some times (easily solved by walking down to one of the other bars - only takes a couple minutes). Oh, and about the shops..... other than getting the free charms at Effy, we didn't even look at any of the other stores - wouldn't have missed them if they weren't there.
Thanks so much for watching & sharing your experience
Wow this ship i think looks like the most amazing ship I've ever seen :) and better than any ship I've uver seen. I loooove it :) wow oh wow
I'm glad you like it
Loving your videos! Weâre going on celebrity beyond and we had to choose a 6:00 dining time as the anytime dining was not available. However they are offering us anytime dining in the Tuscan restaurant. If we do this will we be able to eat in the other main dining rooms as well?
I love how your boys and husband all wore jackets to dinner, thank you.
Nice video. I have never tried celebrity but I'm not sure if this is the type of ship or the cruise line I would like. I like Royal because they have a lot of activities going on. Maybe you should try a MSC cruise and let us know what you think. Their newest ship is the World Europa. That will be our next cruise this December.
It definitely feels different than Royal. Weâd like to do an MSC in 23
Totally agree high end stores are not good and like others say, passengers pay enough for the cruise and drink packages . Nice review
