With respect to cruise ship reviews, both of you are amongst the very best on KZbin. My wife and I truly enjoy your humor, detailed explanations and indepth personal perspectives regarding the entirety of the cruising journey on various cruise ships!

[@Suctess]

It seems like a smart idea to have the life jackets at the muster station instead of the cabin. So in case If emergency you don‘t have to rush to the cabin.

[@bdhjbazekduve]

You guys are the ONLY cruise vloggers I like to listen to. thank you for all those gorgeous and fun vids! all the best to you 2

[@dakg8034]

There is no question this is the most detailed and enjoyable cruise video I have ever seen. And your narration to accompany the tour was splendid. You had me ready to jump off my chair and go book a cruise - I have not taken one since the pandemic. Great video guys. 👍👍

[@Cruisewith]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kevinbeatty4252]

i've been on the Beyond's sister ship, the Apex. It really does feel like a 5 star resort and not a cruise ship. Even the movements of the ship were like butter. You hardly could tell you were in the ocean and moving, it was so smooth. And we thought the food in the Main Dining Room (we ate mostly at Cosmopolitan) was the best MDR food we've ever had on a cruise ship. This is the newest class of ships from Celebrity. They're called E-class and highly luxurious.

[@georgestokes5116]

do they have any services for people who are disable

[@InvisibleVisible793]

Love that the life jackets are at the muster stations. When the Costa Concordia tipped on the rocks and then lost power - people had to go down and back up in tipped stairwells in the DARK to get their life jackets.

[@sandimcalisterblood2675]

Is it wrong that I absolutely just love listening to you guys talk? I've never been a big fan of cruises but you are making me want to go!

[@victoriairvin3753]

I've watch so many of your videos and I still have a lot to go. I think one of the most fun things that separates you two from the rest are when you are getting ready to go somewhere and you "talk" to us telling us to get going and "pulling" us along! I always smile and feel like I'm really there with you!! Thank you!!

[@jackiemurphy1787]

I like how excited Ben gets 😂 it’s palpable 😅

[@jackiemurphy1787]

Ben ❤😅 😂

[@_mollbxo]

I’m a new subscriber but I absolutely love you two! I really believe you should be offered a show 😂 you’re so natural on camera 🩵

[@Piggywiggywoodle]

Agreed; not enough talented gay couples in TV. More please!❤

[@Kei-pj1vg]

We just came back from Carnival Celebration and WOW! What a difference! This is definitely more of our style/vibes. We love Celebrity but have been cruising with other more kid friendly ships but now that our daughter is a bit older, this definitely makes us want to go back to Celebrity again!!

[@Brynowyn]

I found your video by accident but you two are precious! I have never taken a cruise in my long life but I have to tell you, your enthusiasm for this ship and cruising is infectious. That ship looks incredible and I hope you enjoyed your time together on the cruise! X

[@S.E.C-R]

I actually appreciate seeing the messy cabin, it shows you’re just like everyone else and not so prim and proper!

[@lindaallen9721]

I have to say that I really dislike the balcony setup. I love to sit on the balcony with my feet on the bottom rail, snacks on the table and the wind in my hair. Why pay for a balcony cabin if you have to stick your head out of the window like a Labrador?

[@mindyschocolate]

Agreed. That’s like being on a bus.

[@mashenka6189]

😂😂😂100% in agreement. Yes. I don’t want to be a Labrador…as adorable as they are

[@miriamsandbrand1340]

I love relaxing on the balcony chair and foot stool on RCCL. These chairs were not to my liking at all.

[@pattiscott5904]

It's more of a sunroom, not a balcony.

[@michelleb749]

They have a small number of traditional aft balconies called sunset verandas and cove balconies called porthole verandas.

[@alisong2328]

Your excitement is contagious! I've never been on a cruise and have been watching loads of cruise videos. I love the descriptions ("Bambi on stilts", "It feels like France is dancing around in my mouth!") - wonderful!

[@cardiedavis9894]

Because of their narrations is the reason I went on The Wonder. I watched those vlogs so many times I was very familiar with the ship when I actually boarded. Sadly, the food didn't live up to my expectations. But I still had a great time.

[@Pitsler]

Haven’t sailed on Beyond or Edge, but Celebrity was always our chosen cruise line! Love the balcony set up! And that bathroom! Wow! Such a beautiful ship! And their food NEVER disappoints! Looking forward to all your vlogs from this cruise!

[@user-rf4lc3vt7o]

Am cruising on the Beyond in April.. thx for your review 👏😊

[@maureenpowers8418]

Celebrity is our new favorite. Been on the Edge, Apex, Equinox, Solstice, Constellation and Eclipse. Sailing on Beyond next June. Even the older ships are beautiful! It is a more mature crowd but not as senior as Holland!

[@MR3DDev]

Rumors say they are still looking for that guy who sat on the most expensive art piece on the ship.

[@pegedey1291]

That is a gorgeous ship! I love the art 🎨 😍

[@Cruisewith]

It really is!

[@ameliaerin1544]

This is my favorite decor, so far.

[@pegedey1291]

@ameliaerin1544 i think mine too! Such beautiful pieces!

[@patti1044]

Welcome to Celebrity - we sailed on her sister Apex for 19 nights in a very spacious interior and had a wonderful time. Rooftop Garden was one of my favorite outdoor spaces and Eden was a peaceful place to read a book or play a board game during the day. We sailed from Akureyri, Iceland enjoying the view from one of the deck 16 hot tubs - amazing sail up the fjord.

[@adriennemarkjohn]

I had no idea you hadn't been on Celebrity before! We'll be on our third Celebrity cruise, travelling on the Beyond in the Mediterranean in May after two previous cruises on the Solstice to Alaska and New Zealand. I loved both our cruises before and my favourite lines are Celebrity and NCL so I am really looking forward to hearing what you think of your inaugural Celebrity cruise. Warm Regards from Australia.

[@tngdragon]

I could have SWORN you've sailed Celebrity before! We've been loyal to this line for over a decade now, and while we've cruised with others for family and friends, Celebrity will always be our first choice. We were on the Beyond in December and it's now our favorite ship! Also - Celebrity is proud of its modern art on ALL its ships. You can take an iPad art tour on all of them!

[@AwinkOfsleep]

Theres another cruise couple who you may be thinking of. JJ cruise maybe?

[@jopreston8194]

We became experts continually mending the infinite balcony blind!! This must be an ongoing problem for the maintenance staff. We did not like the infinite balcony which was very small. Felt like an ocean view with a window that you could open. Lovely ship and excellent staff but I doubt if we would go on the Beyond again as we like the open feeling of a normal balcony.

[@annualtravellers]

This is the best cruise ship I have seen in a long time. The colour scheme I exactly to my taste and the room!! That balcony I LOVE IT! Thank you both for doing what you do, without you (and sweet Stef) I would be lost on which cruise ship to choose, but now you have definitely made my mind up 😁

[@peterbailey5237]

Love Celebrity. Cruising with elegance and class.

[@HF-tj8db]

I love the balcony! My favourite cabin that I’ve ever had was a floor to ceiling window on MSC, because I love the views and the light, but not so much the water, spiders and weather of a traditional balcony! It’s not for everyone but personally I think the infinite concept is brilliant.

[@aearangoesk3285]

My family and I went to a Celebrity cruise when my sister and I were 14-15. Lovely cruise. But indeed, it was filled with adults and we barely saw kids our age 😂

[@brentshuffler1234]

Thanks for showing us so much of this beautiful new ship. After nearly 80 cruises, it is surprising that you missed Celebrity until now . . . and your loyalty-status with Royal Caribbean counts all the way, I have heard. Diamond? Diamond Plus?

[@petraaubin3259]

Hi Ben and David, I couldn't be more excited about this 😀 My husband and I are booked on the Beyond in March and I can't wait to hear your honest opinion on everything! Thanks for the great content and entertainment you provide to us. Love you guys 💕

[@NWSanta]

Those infinite balconies are a great idea. More room in your suite and fresh air through a giant window. What a great idea!!!

[@DeniseW618]

I was in one of those rooms with the infinite balcony. I like a little light coming into the room in the morning so I know I didn't wake up in the middle of the night. So, I closed the blackout blinds almost all the way. I left about 3 inches at the bottom open, so no one can see in in case you wake up with another ship next to you. And, that helps me to not sleep in so late. Just a thought for anyone who cruises on Celebrity in the future.

[@peta8626]

Love your videos! I’m living vicariously through you guys until we can get on a cruise haha My first ever cruise was on Celebrity Solstice, I loved it!

[@paigemitchell8143]

I can’t wait to see more! I’ve never cruised Celebrity and would love to, so seeing your videos of Celebrity Beyond will help me to make a decision. Yours is my favorite channel for cruise info; I’m so thankful for your honest reviews! Happy cruising!

[@kathleensuhy1875]

I’m loving the look on the inside of the ship! The different artwork is amazing!!!

[@ilenegallo6406]

I like the balcony, it seems safer. Lovely cabin and ship! I prefer Celebrity 🥰🥰

[@pinksugarfluff]

I love how the ship has an artistic flair, just gorgeous!

[@meadend9053]

I’ve been watching you guys for ages. For someone who never wanted to cruise, you’ve changed my mind completely 😂 love you both! Thanks xx

[@abril438]

One of the best I´ve seen in your vlog. So much class and alegance, so many details and art!! Beautiful !!

[@MJC1124]

Superb video and very enjoyable as well as informative. I cannot help wondering how the light colours used on carpets and furnishings throughout the ship will stand up to wear and tear, given the way some people treat things that are not their own. The very spacious buffet will hopefully encourage other operators to follow Celebrity's lead.

[@sheilaanderson1553]

You both are amazing. Never been on a cruise ( live in FL, go figure). Love that you provided honest options of each cruise carrier . Now I feel better about selecting a first time cruise. Thank you !

[@margaretgood580]

Hello Ben and David.. Very much enjoyed the tour, what a beautiful ship this is... How awesome are the rooms they are huge... so want to get on a cruise and sit back and watch the world go by.. Thanks for the viewing guys, absolutely gorgeous .. hearts to you BOTH ❤❤

[@maryanncapece2623]

Good afternoon Ben and David. So excited to see this series. Love the soft color's and all the art work. The ship looks beautiful. Also love seeing my favorite people all together! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@nancyborden3977]

Each of your videos is better than the last. Really enjoyed the pace of this video and as always the details you share. Outstanding work, Ben and David!! Much luv to you both.

[@darploin5071]

You may not want to be on that big ole orange bar when they're in a busy port or leaving a busy port cuz a chance of a ship accidentally sideswiping the ship that your on, it is greater when the port is crowded forty ships to accidentally collide with and most collisions in Port are sideswipes so for safety reasons I would keep it closed and uninhabited until out to see

[@FraserAtSea]

I was so glad to see that you guys were staying in an Infinite Balcony - I’ve heard SUCH mixed reviews about the experience of those rooms. Personally, a HUGE upgrade from my usual inside cabins, but not sure I’d prefer it to a balcony. Fab video from you both as always! 🎉

[@chulita097]

Beautiful ship!! The room is amazing. Loving this ship.

[@truejaneysue8269]

Awesome first day review! Thank y'all 😊

[@karenalsbury167]

Wow....loved this tour. Really different decor. Thanks much.

[@carolerice5944]

I’m so glad you finally did a Celebrity cruise. It’s my and my husbands favourite cruise line. We just got off the Apex last month and it’s a sister ship to the Beyond. The crazy hallway to Eden on the Apex I called the snowball hall, so much fun.

[@deirdrekokora8680]

Absolutely LOVE your videos! I look forward to them every time I’m notified that they are new!

[@swsunsetseeker7285]

I've been on the Celebrity Flora, with same balcony style. Loved it. Makes the room more spacious. Only opened the window a few minutes at a time.

[@ScottADunn]

Virtual Muster is such a W. Disappointing that other lines are reverting.

[@theresamoehlig5269]

So excited to see your Beyond review. I watched it while on the second week of our Beyond cruises the past two weeks. We happened to be in the cabin 2 doors from yours. I spoke to your cabin steward who remembered you but didn't know about your You Tube channel. She was very excited to go watch your videos. We also had two amazing weeks onboard!!

[@Jrsun4ever]

I love the orange outside floating bar/dinning thing!! So sorry weather will not cooperate. I would have loved seeing you din on it. What a modern ship. Not sure about the infinity balcony. I love sitting outside. You’ll have to update me on your options of it. I’ve heard Eden dinning is wonderful. And the top deck with the live trees looks beautiful. Have a great cruise!!

[@charmoka]

Wow! Gorgeous ship and great tour!

[@donnap8889]

What a fantastic ship so much to see, have a fantastic time xx

[@LoBabin]

You got me even more excited !!! I will be on the Celebrity Reflection in 3 weeks. Thank you for the review!!!

[@juliewilson3237]

This ship looks fabulous, slightly more classy than many other ships. Light and bright too . Another one to try if it’s affordable. Looking forward for to seeing more of the ship and beautiful Caribbean 🤩. Great video gents x

[@constanceworden487]

We just love Celebrity!! Just got off the Summit two weeks ago. Our favorite place to relax is Cafe Bucio. Great coffee/tea and yummy pastries!!!

[@purplepeoplesparty2368]

Fun to see you guy having fun.

[@jobs1962]

Loved watching this, as always, you both keep it real ❤️ Talking of dress codes, we were on the Majestic Princess in December (Xmas/NY cruise to New Zealand) and was in the buffet restaurant and couldn’t believe it when there was a couple in there for lunch in their bathrobes 😩😳🙄 Why do people think that this is acceptable 💁🏻‍♀️😞

[@Kayw434]

Love you both! Another awesome video! Beautiful ship! Thank you!!!😊

[@wilburhill2299]

I really enjoy all the cruise education you share with us. It's fun to hear about your experiences and meaningful cruise information to carry into my next cruises. Thanks again. Your Orlando, Florida fan.

[@Steven-er2bt]

Looks great! We can't wait for your next Beyond videos.

[@grannyoffive1313]

Thank you so much, Ben and David… So happy to see this video… Have not watched it yet, but definitely will in a few minutes as we are contemplating taking a cruise on the celebrity beyond… We will watch your video before we book… Thank you🚢

[@lifewithgrandmabev]

Always so much fun to watch your videos. Beautiful ship.

[@shannonphillips9344]

Just love your channel! You gents do a bang up job, it's so warm, funny and above all, genuine! Thanks for sharing your travels, such a pleasure to find this really good channel!

[@tienshuchung1861]

Love the video. Enjoy the rest of the cruise and looking forward to see the next video

[@cydneystephen2814]

Hey Ben and David. Happy Sunday. Sailed Celebrity 1992 and it was amazing so could imagine these Edge class ships. Beautiful ship and staterooms and love the infinite balconies. Have watched every Harr Travel tour for the past year and a half. The seating at the pool is amazing. Oh yes. Captain Kate. Beautiful huge buffet. Love the Spanish party in your mouth Ben 😂😂. Great seating throughout the garden area indeed. Beautiful soft inviting color scheme of your spacious cabin and bathroom. Yes David. Artwork rare in bathrooms. The hanging space in the closet looks a little tight for 2 but lots of shelf and drawer space. A long retractable desk. The art above the chaise lounger is beautiful. Look at the size of the tv. Love this balcony. Open the top for air or close for A/C while still on your balcony. And blackout blinds too 🙌🏼. Oh wow. Glad they worked out the flight situation. Not all so lucky when booking the flights with the cruise line. Norwegian in particular. Love being close to the elevator. The meal looks yummy in the MDR. Unfortunately I’ve seen in vlogs folks walking around in spa robes 🫤. Wonderful 1st day. Thanks for sharing and see you next video. Beyond here I come. 🛳️

[@sarahbryant9431]

Thanks for the tour. I absolutely love the Edge class ships.

[@jebre40]

Glad you have finally got on a Celebrity so, yay. They are fantastic cruises

[@jeffwilson9114]

Yous 2 cud be genuine bona fide presenters. Your videos are very professional with lots of useful information. Plus yous have a great sense of humour Probably my favourite cruise channel atm

[@michaelhoganson.Hogie58]

I think I would rather have a balcony..Much prefer the feel of being out in all weather's.Then just go back in our room if it's raining..Apart from that..The ship looks amazing..We will definitely put it on our ships to try...cheers lads for the info.

[@CherylRayment-ec3ke]

Love you guys. So informative. Best of the best

[@Cruisewith]

Thanks so much!

[@rnchimilar]

I do love a balcony the black out blind is a nice idea. Love the bathroom and how spacious the cabin is.

[@lissaforrest33]

Love watching you both, another great video. Looking forward to your next posting.

[@phoenixadventures19]

I LOVE watching you guys! Your videos are informative and entertaining. You guys make feel like I there with you. I've been thinking about trying an Edge class ship but this video convinced me that my husband and I definitely need to cruise Celebrity Beyond. Thank you for sharing your adventures!

[@beachblythe]

I just booked a Tokyo cruise on Celebrity today! Prices are too good not to. Of course it’s. It until summer 2024 😂😂😂 . It will be my first non Holland America cruise. I’m excited to try out Celebrity

[@randyjalbert4780]

Ship looks amazing, looking forward to sailing on this one in the future. Excellent video, thank you

[@danakruse7325]

Great to see you! Glad you are on Beyond. I want to try sailing on it too. Hope you have a wonderful time!

[@ReadingRadish]

Your videos are so amazing and in-depth! I appreciate all of the hard work you two put into your videos. Thank you for all that you do!!! Look forward to your videos every week :)

[@Cruisewith]

Glad you like them!

[@rocketbackhander6280]

ooh I'm always interested in no-kid/low-kid cruises. I'm glad you guys were able to experience this so we could tag along.

[@Kayw434]

Big cruiser here! Typically, always cruise with my fav cruise line but trying out Celebrity in December after seeing your videos! You are so informative and entertaining! Appreciate your honesty and class!! Now my favorite channel!! Thank you Ben and David!!

[@Scott-pe6te]

Ben & David - I subscribe to your channel and like the authentic enthusiasm you bring to all your cruises. I am so glad you finally get to experience Celebrity. It is my preferred cruise line with its more premium experience and I am pleased that you had a good time on the Celebrity Beyond (one of the Edge class ships). If you want to try a more traditional cruising experience on Celebrity, I encourage you to try one of their Solstice class ships. Different experience but amazing as well.

[@barbarashuster9029]

Always love to see Steph too!

[@catieecasciole1980]

I love Captain Kate! And her kitty Bug!

[@Cruisewith]

us too!

[@summerwinter4]

Thank you for the Great ship tour!

[@malaplava4865]

It all looks magnificent ❤

[@user-wr8hs4gy9i]

We guys are fabulous with showing us a real cruise

[@normamyers5762]

Thanks for posting. I loved it when I was on it in June of last year, but I live to hear your opinion. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@KitsuneAdorable]

Norwegian and Celebrity are two cruise lines that I’d like to try. This ship looks like a very boogie hotel! ❤ Such a beautiful ship. I love the earthy tones, including how they also decorated the ship to look quite posh as well. 😊

[@scruffyo4460]

I’d advise against Norwegian. Just five my third and last cruise with them. Service has really gone downhill with everything.

[@outandabout9794]

Thank you. You two have done well with your comps! I've enjoyed your detailed videos before doing our first sailing on Beyond!

[@joycesloman8533]

Great video boys always informative but you always make it light and fun you definitely the best out there amongst all the cruise ship videos thank you for sharing hugs ❤ from Canada cheers

[@sarahjones1945]

You guys just make me feel so happy 😊 enjoy your cruise!

[@Cruisewith]

Yay! Thank you!

[@veronicashine1812]

May this be the first of many to come. Celebrity is our favorite.

[@toddwynn9582]

Thanks guys! We just booked an Eastern Caribbean cruise from San Juan on Viva from NCL. with our kids and new son in law for next April! Expensive but can’t wait. Just watched your Prima video.

[@LostInSpice]

Beyond impressed us so much that we booked an 11-day on her for next year for my birthday. I'm so excited to be back onboard. We have Disney and RCCL cruises scheduled before then, but I'm already dreaming about Celebrity. The Celebrity App is the best cruise app I've used yet. It's fantastic. Watching a SpaceX launch from the top deck, even though it was really, really cold that day (Florida had a major cold snap that weekend) was a big highlight of the trip. So amazing to watch.

[@michaelpruitt7610]

Guys, This is the best video we've seen of Celebrity Beyond!! Thanks so much for this excellent video!

[@johnnieves8719]

This was another awesome review! Guys you are getting better and better 🎉

[@erikagholston6610]

The ship does look very posh. I love the artwork in your cabin. I can’t wait to watch the rest of the vlogs in this series. So far I’m very impressed with the ship.

[@rtroyer8963]

Great ship tour/review guys, and 100% accurate! We cruised on Celebrity Edge in 2019, and it is also a fantastic ship, I think Beyond has made a few changes/improvements to its cabins & suites. Thanks for the review and I'm looking forward to your take on all the other restaurants, my partner and I both loved the food on the Edge! Cheers Guys!
