Celebrity Beyond: The Good, The Bad & The BORING
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator evaluates the Celebrity Beyond, comparing it to their previous experiences on the Celebrity Silhouette and Celebrity Ascent. While the creator praises the ship's modern design, the Grand Plaza, and the high quality of dining at venues like Eden and the Ocean View Cafe buffet, they note several significant drawbacks. These include frequent upselling interruptions during breakfast, issues with cabin air conditioning, and a perceived lack of energy in the evening entertainment compared to the Ascent. The creator also highlights technical concerns, noting the ship was operating at half speed due to engine repairs. Despite these issues, the creator concludes that the ship is a well-designed marvel suitable for well-traveled adults seeking a resort at sea rather than a theme park experience. They recommend the ship for those who appreciate elevated dining and premium quality without ultra-luxury pricing.

Creator's Key Takeaways
This was my third time trying out Celebrity. Our first time was on the Celebrity Silhouette, and we found ourselves pretty bored throughout the cruise.
I was blown away by how different the experience was on Celebrity Ascent.
The Celebrity Beyond is for well-traveled couples and adults who appreciate modern design, elevated dining, and personalized service.
The negatives we experienced were mostly related to having the wrong expectations of what Celebrity Cruises is all about.
