Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed review of their experience aboard the Celebrity Beyond, evaluating various aspects of the cruise including accommodations, dining, and shore excursions. They discuss the infinite balcony cabins, noting that while the floor to ceiling windows offer spectacular views, the design can cause the room to heat up rapidly when opened. The creators highly praise the food quality, awarding it a perfect score, and express immense gratitude for the crew, whom they describe as spectacular. They also explore shore excursions in Grand Cayman and Costa Maya, sharing experiences with beach visits and renting a golf cart in Mexico. While they enjoy the ship's modern design and high quality entertainment, they note a lack of diversity among the passenger demographic and observe that the crowd is significantly more mature than expected. They conclude that the ship is an excellent choice for couples and those seeking high quality service, despite some concerns regarding the cost of specialty dining and the small size of certain venues.
