Creator's Key Takeaways
I would maybe reconsider cruising on this ship and Celebrity Beyond out of Miami because of the Port of Miami logistics.
If entertainment is your top priority, I don't know that I would recommend Celebrity for entertainment alone.
Celebrity for me and us, number one dining of all the cruise lines we've done.
The people and crew um are very friendly. So, the Beyond is no different.

Is Celebrity Beyond still worth booking after sailing her again—and can the Port of Miami turn a great cruise into a stressful one? In this honest 5x5 review, we break down five things we loved and five things we'd change after our second Celebrity Beyond sailing in two years. 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: ✅ The Eden space, Celebrity Beyond's food, and the four main dining rooms ✅ Coffee options, the Ocean View Cafe, and how the ship manages crowds ✅ Our inside stateroom, bathroom, storage, and room service experience ✅ Embarkation at the Port of Miami—and why getting there was so difficult ✅ Entertainment, sailaway, Shine the Night, and the new Coolest Day Ever event ✅ Bar service at the Magic Carpet, Craft Social, Martini Bar, and Sunset Bar ✅ Smoking areas, the casino layout, value for money, and shortened port times ✅ Our honest final verdict on Celebrity Beyond Celebrity Beyond remains one of our favorite ships, with excellent food, beautiful Edge Class design, comfortable staterooms, and mostly wonderful service. But the Port of Miami logistics, uneven entertainment, inconsistent service in a few venues, and short port times are important things to consider before you book. 🎥 Watch this video: https://youtu.be/ddmvwOMMO4k Chapters: 0:00 Celebrity Beyond 5x5 review 0:37 Welcome aboard Celebrity Beyond 2:01 The five things we loved 2:28 Eden 3:36 Friendly service 4:39 Food and dining options 6:28 Edge Class design and style 8:22 Coffee options 10:02 More food options and crowd flow 13:01 Room service miss 13:47 Stateroom and bathroom 15:40 Atmosphere and entertainment changes 18:31 The buffet 19:37 Embarkation 20:51 Port of Miami problems 23:43 Entertainment misses 30:51 Bar service 34:41 Smoking areas and the casino bar 37:04 Value for money 38:58 Service consistency 42:54 Short port times 45:03 Final verdict 48:12 Celebrity Silhouette preview 49:23 Thanks for watching ➡️ Watch next: More Celebrity Beyond and cruise reviews from Dockside Travel 💬 Have you sailed Celebrity Beyond—or cruised out of the Port of Miami recently?
