I like to try a cruise line three times before I decide if it’s for me, and this was my third time sailing with Celebrity Cruises. After being underwhelmed on the Silhouette but blown away by the Edge-class experience on Celebrity Ascent, I was eager to see if Celebrity Beyond would measure up.
From boarding day surprises (hello long security lines 👀), to exploring the Grand Plaza, trying out the infinite veranda cabins, and experiencing Eden’s specialty dining, this cruise had its highs and lows. While the food was consistently outstanding, the constant upselling and spotty air conditioning left a lot to be desired.
In this video, you’ll see:
✅ A full look at the Grand Plaza & Eden
✅ Inside tour of the Infinite Veranda & Interior Cabins
✅ Honest thoughts on dining, buffets, & specialty restaurants
✅ What the entertainment & vibe felt like on Beyond compared to Ascent
✅ Highlights like the Magic Carpet, Rooftop Garden, & massive pool
✅ My final verdict on who Celebrity Beyond is really for
If you’ve ever wondered whether Celebrity Cruises lives up to its “premium” reputation, this video dives into the details you won’t want to miss.
