Incredible experience with Beyond!! The Veranda indoor balcony was perfect. No need to ever leave the magnificent vessel. The crew spoiled us like crazy, still having severe withdrawals from leaving last week. Even met Capt. Kate on elevator who gave us a warm enthusiastic welcome.

[@DestinedJourney]

The sister ship (Xcel) is launching next November. Maybe book it so you can look forward to another Edge class cruise! 😉

[@Stone1108]

So glad you had a great time, Beyond look fabulous and the service sounds great. Thanks for making this video.

[@DestinedJourney]

@@Stone1108 Thanks for watching! 😉 I hope you get a chance to sail her!!

You 2 are spoiled with celebrity. I've never been on the beyond, but I was amazed with the ascent ship. So happy you had such a great time. I LOVE CELEBRITY. HAVENT BEEN DISSAPPOINTED YET

[@DestinedJourney]

@@donnapee8402 We’re going to book the newest (Xcel) set to launch next November. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Steve_in_NJ]

Those cruising on Beyond in August and later, Captain Cate is back!!!!

[@danfusco8480]

I heard Captain Kate is only in the Beyond for a couple of months😢

[@Steve_in_NJ]

@@danfusco8480 She said in a video, 3 months on, 3 months off. So it depends on when you sail.

[@danfusco8480]

we sail Nov

[@LordXius]

Thanks for sharing this. Always nice to see a recent video of the celeb beyond. I will be going myself in November.

[@DestinedJourney]

You are going to love it!!!!

[@traceymckeen2968]

I just love your excitement. I can feel it right through the screen lol it was so much fun to watch. I have done several at class ships and I do love them as well 😊

[@DestinedJourney]

@@traceymckeen2968 Thanky oh Tracey! I think we’re going to book the new Xcel that launches next year. ❤️

Beyond April 2023 was my first cruise. Loved it. Back on the Beyond this November. Also sailed the Ascent. Ascent was excellent, as well, but there was something about the Beyond I preferred. If you feel like splurging, go to Eden for dinner. Some of the best food I've ever had land or sea.

[@DestinedJourney]

We planned to do only free dining for our first Celebrity cruise to really gauge it. We gave in and had dinner at Final Cut which was great and I heard from guests that all the other fine dining was wonderful as well. I also heard Blu for Aqua class guests was amazing so I'm very curious about that and trying to find a smokin deal on a Aqua class room on any Celebrity ship to try it.

[@rlejr66]

Was on the Beyond in May. Loved it. We've been on 25+ Royal Caribbean cruises and decided to take it up a notch and try Celebrity for our 20th Anniversary. Amazing. My wife is hooked. We are booked on the Ascent in January. We may sneak another one in before then. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@DestinedJourney]

We have our eyes set on the launch of the Xcel late next year. Currently we're looking to book the Silhouette for December to see if Celebrity does a great job across the board. It WILL be an adjustment from the Edge class though. Happy Cruising!

[@kathrynr5026]

Princess people who are trying Beyond in March.... sounds like we will be happy!

[@DestinedJourney]

We're trying Princess next March! You will be very happy!

[@Jordy.but.call.me.Sabrina]

Cruising beyond on april/may 2025. Can't wait. Thanks for sharing❤

[@DestinedJourney]

You are going to love it! Best crusie ship EVER!

[@rosekraemer8205]

I've been on the Beyond and Apex love it going back on Beyond next month can't wait

[@DestinedJourney]

Are they almost identical? We're going to book the new Xcel for next year. Best ship category ever!!!

[@kimberlykearns2752]

We have outgrown our 5 Carnival cruises. Can't wait to sail the Beyond in September 2025!!!

[@DestinedJourney]

@@kimberlykearns2752 Please report back and let me know how much you loved it!!!!

[@melvinjacobs2328]

We were on the Beyond 2 years ago, and after some 25 cruises, this was our favorite by far.

[@DestinedJourney]

What other cruise lines have you done?

[@melvinjacobs2328]

All the majors except HAL, multiple times. Royal Carnival, NCL, Princess, MSC, and our first Celebrity cruise was on the Equinox.

[@DestinedJourney]

@@melvinjacobs2328 We're thinking of booking the Reflection. Did you find that all Celebrity ships were superior to the other lines or are you referring specifically to the Beyond?

[@melvinjacobs2328]

@@DestinedJourney The only other ship was the Equinox, and that convinced us about Celebrity.

[@barrygleen2042]

I am a TA with almost sixty cruises. The celebrity beyond is sailings finest hour.

[@DestinedJourney]

@@barrygleen2042 How do other Celebrity ships compare?

[@barrygleen2042]

@@DestinedJourney they are all excellent

[@BillCeller-gp3mk]

My wife and I did a Sky Suite last year on the Apex for,our 25th anniversary and I still remember it like it was yesterday. The Edge class ships are amazing. Hope you had the chance to eat at Eden and if you didn’t, make sure you do next time.

[@DestinedJourney]

@@BillCeller-gp3mk How was the suite? Worth the up charge? Did you do any other specialty dining? They all look fantastic!

[@BillCeller-gp3mk]

@@DestinedJourney we really enjoyed it. We don’t normally do that kind of upgrade but because it was our 25th we went for it. Because of the Retreat’s restaurant Luminae we only did one other specialty dining and that was the Rooftop Garden. It was pretty good but not at the level of Eden. Luminae’s food was outstanding on its own. The Retreat pool was awesome as it was never crowded and the Sky Suite was a large cabin and had the bed facing the balcony so that was pretty cool. So to finally answer your question 🤣 yes, I think if you have the ability to do it ,it’s definitely worth it.

[@DestinedJourney]

@@BillCeller-gp3mk I would looove to try out a suite but when the upgrade is the cost of 2 more cruises, I don’t pull the trigger. I hope one day to find a fantastic deal I can’t refuse. 🤞🏻

[@BillCeller-gp3mk]

@@DestinedJourney I feel you. Like I said, we NEVER do that kind of thing but it was a special occasion. I just love the Edge Class no matter where you’re staying.

[@DestinedJourney]

@@BillCeller-gp3mk So far it’s the best I’ve experienced. Every future cruise will be compared to it.

[@detect7]

Just a shame you didn't demonstrate the hand washing station at the buffet, might have encouraged folk to use it. I love the Beyond.

[@DestinedJourney]

In our cruise it seemed everyone stopped there to wash. I think people already have standard for themselves of washing or not washing. Saw someone leave the restroom with no wash. 😯🤦🏼‍♀️

[@danfusco8480]

We are sailing on the Beyond Nov 15 2024

[@DestinedJourney]

Nice! Right around the corner. I hope you love it as much as we did. ❤️
