My sisters were planning on this cruise. we booked late and one could get an ocean view...ship was sold out.....we boarded the ship and surprised the sisters...met at the martini bar. Downhill from there....i have been on more than 15 celebrity cruises and truly enjoyed... We found the ship to be terribly noisey...unable to sit anywhere to have a conversation...music way too loud...speakers ...
My wife and I choose this cruise based on our past experience with Celebrity when we went on a Med cruise 6 years ago. We were on the Celebrity Reflection and what a wonderful cruise. Everything was great and the food was fantastic. We therefore expected an even better experience on the new ship - Beyond.
First impression when we got on the ship was “Wow” !!! Absolutely a beautifully ...
Was in Sky suite, first time in suite have been on many cruises, and I’m not going back. Beyond is a beautiful ship, it does creak and make lots of noise. That’s the only negative I can find with ship. Retreat area is very nice and quiet, never had issues finding chairs. The pool butler’s weren’t there, but the bar is not far away and bar staff fun and friendly. Ventured out to pool deck and ...
I chose this ship because it was a newer ship. I arrived to find my room was not clean. There was food on the floor, a used shower cap in a drawer, a half empty Evian bottle, and about 50 old wire hangers in the closet. I called housekeeping and they apologized. That was it. Then that night we arranged for fixed dining (same table, same restaurant, same time every night). I told the maitre d that ...
Embarkation was confusing but prompt. (The ship was full.) The crowd was almost all over 55. I think we saw 8 kids - all under 6. Our bags were in our room quickly. The online safety checkin was quick.
Our room was more spacious that I expected. The shower was nice sized. The balcony easily accommodated the two of us. Adequate drawer and closet space.
Getting power to our CPAPs was ...
This was our fist cruise on Celebrity since 2008 and it was nice to see that the line has adapted to the competitive world of super-ships while maintaining many of the feature we loved on the smaller ships.
Overall a very good cruise with good service, great entertainment and good dining. Was it perfect? That depends on your definition. Yes, some of the staff could have been better trained, ...
1. The infinite balcony is simply not a balcony; it’s a sunroom with a window that opens. No more debate needed.
2. Our 15th cruise and we missed our balcony but didn’t hate the sunroom concept. On sea days, when the decks are crowded, we missed the option of being able to sit out on our own balcony.
3. The fitness center was small and mostly crowded, especially on sea days. Miss the ...
Just got off celebrity Ascent out of Fort Lauderdale. We chose to get into Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood the day before and stay at hotel. We had a concierge room and a 12:30 boarding time. We decided to get to port at 11:30 and wait in the area. Well, We called for Uber (15$ compared to shuttle from hotel 15$ each) at 10:28 AM, Uber picked us up at 10:30, we were at terminal at 10:45 expecting to ...
I cruised with three friends - without our husbands. We have sailed together several times and with others still more times. Getting on and off the ship was easy. Our concierge lunch was great. We ate most dinners in the main dining room and the service was terrific. The food there was okay but not outstanding. We ate one evening at Le Petite Chef, at the recommendation of the assistant ...
The Murano Restaurant
The Maitre D - Aurelian for the restaurant not only visited with me personally, the entire crew has made my visit so special I have returned twice. My Chef de Rang Yessica is the best. The Chef Sebastian is awesome. He came to my table. The Sea Bass and the lobster was amazing. The sommelier Ivana was exceptional at pairing wine and very pleasant to work with. The ...
