Creator's Key Takeaways

The biggest difference I noticed on Celebrity Beyond over Royal Caribbean was the overall pace of the week.

It's just a much more chill, quiet, relaxing vibe than Royal Caribbean.

I really enjoyed my week on Celebrity Beyond. I will definitely be sailing Celebrity again.

Celebrity is calmer and more relaxing, so it's great when it's just Mike and I.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check out the retreat sund deck for a relaxing sea day.
If you want a calm vacation, choose Celebrity; for high energy with kids, choose Royal Caribbean.
