LOL I just watched that and was going to make an update!

Yes, it's her last sailing before her vacation. We were on the March 22nd sailing, same itinerary. Make sure you attend Captain Kate's question and answer session in the theater. Ours was on the last sea day and lasted an hour. The place was packed! Our friends will be on your cruise. Enjoy!

There is a YouTube video showing 8103 on the Apex. It should look the same as the cabin on the Beyond. Celebrity Apex Cabin: 8103

We are on the 10 night leaving on March 22nd in Magic Carpet Suite 8210. We were on deck 10 a couple of years ago also in a MC and had horrendous noise when it the seas were rougher. Keeping our fingers crossed but we won't be surprised if it's the same.

We were on the Icon last week and it was a plate with a Rice Krispie square, a chocolate dipped strawberry and three chocolates.

We were on the Icon last week and the concierge in the Crown Lounge said that they don't offer the Key right now.

We were going to book Beyond's Trans Atlantic cruise for next April leaving Fort Lauderdale. We saw it yesterday, but couldn't find it today and realized that it is staying in the Caribbean. Maybe that is part of Celebrity's announcement. We are so disappointed, darn.

We stayed in one on the Beyond. The only thing I didn't like was that the bathroom opened into the room by the bed, not the hallway. I like to leave the bathroom door open at night for the night light. The balcony is deeper so it can fit chairs and a lounger. We booked an end MC suite in November. I wiil say that if you get one of those cabins you lose some privacy since people above you off to the side can see you if you are sitting by that window. The price difference between the MC and Sky suite makes it worth it. We never saw the Magic Carpet go up and down, It does that between 5:30pm and 6pm and we were on our way to dinner. I think as more people realize that there is no real in-room connecting door, these cabins are going to be booked more frequently just for the savings alone. I had to explain to our TA how these were configured.

Update: I am happy to report that we heard no out of the ordinary creaking or popping in our cabin bedroom. However; the bathroom floor creaked with every step, especially near the shower or toilet. Which is pretty much the whole floor LOL! Our cabin was on deck 11 midship.

We were on the Beyond in January in MC suite #10785 and had banging and creaking 3 out of the 7 nights. Our friends in an outside #3158 heard it every night. We will be on the Beyond next Sunday in an IV #11159 and I am hoping it won't be an issue.

One of our bags measures about 16.75" It is 16" but I added in the handle and feet that add a little bit. We have sent it thru their scanner twice. This was in the Retreat lounge but I assume that all their scanners are the same.

Our cruise leaves in 8 days too and our bid is still pending with ability to change it. I had an alert that a charge was made on our credit card this morning. Unfortunately, it was my husband getting gas at Walmart. Darn, at least it wasn't a rejection, so there's still hope!

We were on the Beyond two weeks ago. We had noise several nights, banging, creaking and knocking. We were in a magic carpet skysuite #10178. Our friends were in #3158. They heard loud banging almost every night. It seems, according to our butler, that it is more noticeable in midship cabins.

Keep in mind the dining times, since you are about a month out, he will be probably be assigned late dining which is around 8pm. We were on the Beyond two weeks ago and you couldn't walk up early and get a table. It was almost a full sailing with a huge group (around 400). We tried and were told to come back at 8:15. You could consider a suite but would he be comfortable on the sofa bed? Just a few things to consider.

We were on the Beyond last week and I agree with you that the duck leg was excellent! This coming from someone who never orders duck. The corn soup was a big miss. It is served over a couple of shrimp and tasted fishy. My favorite dessert is the chocolate pill. It reminded me of those chocolate ice cube candies that melt in your mouth.
