Creator's Key Takeaways
One of the things we've learned after cruising for more than 20 years and dozens of cruises and spending nearly 300 days at sea is that if you want the ship to be quiet you have to beat it awake.
On a ship this beautiful sometimes the best moments happen before most people have even found their flip-flops.
I just spent five minutes trying to cut that lamb chop. And man, I couldn't get it apart. There is I'll try something different, but maybe That's one tough lamb.

Wondering what you actually do on a sea day? With no ports to visit, sea days are where a cruise either shines or drags — so we filmed two back-to-back sea days on Celebrity Beyond, from early-morning coffee to sunset cocktails, to show you exactly how we fill the time. We are Kris and Melanie from Dockside Travel. We've been cruising for more than 20 years — dozens of sailings, nearly 300 nights at sea — across Celebrity, Princess, Royal Caribbean, and now Virgin Voyages. In this video, we cover: ✅ How we start a sea day — early coffee and the duck-hiding tradition ✅ Finding the quiet spots: the Solarium and the Magic Carpet ✅ The pool deck scene and the champagne hot tubs ✅ Breakfast at the Oceanview Café (and our go-to picks) ✅ Daytime activities — dance fitness, trivia, and where to actually relax ✅ Dinner in the Cosmopolitan main dining room ✅ Evening entertainment: Stage Door and the Silent Disco ✅ The Captain's Club loyalty party in Eden ✅ Sunset Bar margaritas and the best spot to watch the sun go down Sea days are our favourite part of any cruise, and Celebrity Beyond gives you plenty of ways to spend them — whether you want to be in the middle of the action or tucked away somewhere quiet.
