This was the most thorough and "classy" review I've ever heard from any travel agent. Congratulations!
We absolutely love the Edge class ships, especially the Beyond. Have been on it twice already and am going again. It's a magnificent ship and like you, only have the best to say about every aspect of this ship and the best, most attentive and happiest crew. Most especially, our favorite Kate, and of course, also "Bug". Lol Thank you for the time and care you took in specifying everything about the Beyond. I totally agree with you.

I really enjoyed your blog. We have been on the other three Edge ships and it sounds like the improvements made on Beyond have made these series even better. We don't usually travel on larger ships, but were very impressed on how well these ships are organized. We seldom saw lines anywhere and could easier avoid those by making sure we never went anywhere onboard just as they opened or started seating. The dining options were all delicious...even the main dining with the four choices was always fresh and delicious. We usually sail on Viking (river and ocean), Celebrity and SilverSea now, although over our thirty five years of cruising we have cruised on many different lines. We usually limit our choices to these three so we are building up seniority/points for future perks, although we do try interesting itineraries on other cruise lines at times.

I have been cruising for many years and watched many reviewers. This is the best and I look forward to watching many more!

Loved Beyond and stayed in aqua class last cruise and booked another. Celebrity is my go to line. Service is good to exceptional and I appreciate that on vacation.

Our first cruise was this year on Celebrity. We have a 13 year old and she was one of few kids on the ship. She still had a very good time. The staff was very friendly and enjoyed having her on ship. Our sommelier even made every night special by surprising her with a fun and different nonalcoholic drink! Our family enjoyed them so much, that we are cruising with them again in July!

What a great review! We are headed out on Beyond in May (our first Celebrity Cruise) and we are beyond (pun intended) excited to try this ship and cruise line out. We have been mainly on RC and enjoy their ships, however, the last couple cruises there have been an abundance of children, and that is not what this 55+ couple wants. Thank you again for a great review, look forward to watching other videos you put out.

We have been on 20 cruises and last september was our first on the edge class. We will be Elite with Celebrity at the end of the year and it is our favorite line. We loved the Ascent and are just in two weeks will be boarding the Beyond. Next year we will travel on the Apex. Very Well done review.

Amazingly done best ever review congratulations

[stevenoonan]

Great video. My wife and I were on your cruise- saw you working on computer most days in coffee area in the morning. I thought you were like a CEO of a start up and had to have Zoom meetings. I never have seen your videos before and connected the dots from the guy working on his computer every morning to your channel. Great work ethic. Your video is a great representation of the ship and cruise. We will definitely keep watching your videos. Thank you!

[christinaloveland]

We agree with all that you said about Celebrity beyond the staff, food entertainment was exceptional.

[tonytiger]

I do enjoy your review. Thank you. We are doing our 2nd celebrity cruise. Two in one year! Both on the Beyond.👏

[daphenerchavez]

I just loved the detailed description of this Celebrity cruise ship. I am a 55 year old first time cruiser. This cruise line and Virgin will be at the top of my list!

Hello, once again you have done such a great review and so pertinent to all cruise fans. You seem so nice that we hope to see you one day on a cruise ship.
We have done 2 Edge class ships so far the Apex followed by the Beyond.
Both ships are very nice but for us the Beyond has all the minor upgrades that makes it our number one. We loved the new and larger design to the Sunset bar giving it an even more vibrant atmosphere. The central chandelier is also a better fit to the atrium making it a much larger sitting area to enjoy the great martinis and people watch. One of our favorite evening spot was the added World Class Bar that makes this cruise feel even more upscale with those special cocktails.
For us the Ultimate verandas was the perfect room as we are not big fans of a balcony cabin as we hardly go on it when we have one. So with the Infinite Veranda it made the room feel so much larger that we appreciated it.
As far as for service we felt that the Apex service was outstanding in all the area of our cruise compare to the Beyond. We found that on the Beyond the server in the MDR seemed rush and understaff as service was really slow and such had no time for smiles or engagement with its guests. That was pretty much the only area where the crew seemed a bit less friendly but not all there fault if they were understaff.
Celebrity is becoming one of our favourite cruise line lately that fills out all of favorite stuff in life.
On an other note do you have a Shipmate account ?
Have a nice day to both of you 😊
Thanks again
Sea Ya
Eric

WE HAVE SAILED ON HAL, PRINCESS, NCL, AND ROYAL . BY FAR CELEBRITY OFFERS THE BEST SERVICE AND HAS THE FRIENDLIEST CREWS. WE ALSO AGREE THAT IT IS ATTRACTING A MORE SENIOR CROWD WITH LESS CHILDREN. ENJOYED YOUR REVIEW. THANKS.

[judymccall]

Thank you so much for this video. I am amazed by how professional and engaging it was. The photographs and video were truly professional. Your dialogue was on pointe, descriptive while not full of extraneous babble, with really fine narrative style and timbre. Seriously, great job. We will be cruising in 2.5 weeks on Beyond and the first time with Celebrity. This video was perfect and exactly what we were looking for.

Love that you provided your background/credentials based on your experience and preferences to present a fair balanced and valid review, great and helpful review thank you!

Just returned on March 12, 2023 from a 7 night cruise on Celebrity Beyond. We splurged on a Sky Suite in The Retreat. It was nothing short of amazing. The staff could not not do enough for you and having access to The Retreat Lounge was a phenominal benefit not to mention the premium drink package and premium wi-fi that was included. The worst part is that it may have spoiled us forever as we don't know if we can return without a suite. All the bad parts of cruising disappeared being replaced by pure luxury. If you can afford it there are not enough words to describe the difference.

[Gotta-love-Elon]

We have been on 42 cruises and we do love Celebrity.

[larryp]

We are going on Celebrity Beyond this October- our first cruise! Thanks for your very informative blog. Looking forward to your blog on the ships dining.

We recently took Celebrity Beyond starting in Rome. This was our 6th cruise and we would definitely recommend CB. As you stated in your piece the crew, entertainment and cleanliness of the ship were spectacular. We totally agree with your review.
