We also just returned from the Beyond Oct 26 Sailing. Family group Ages 16 to almost 94.
Fabulous Ship made even more so, due to her Fantastic Crew.
Much more than 9 nights is need to fully participate in all her Offerings
For accommadations we had: Ocean View, Acessible Forward Facing Ocean View, Solo & Regular Infinite Verandahs, and Carpet Sky Suite.
Stateroms are modern, comfortable, functional and tastefully furnished. We all thought the Infinite Verandah concept was a stroke of genius.
It expands your cabin with 24/7 usable space.
We ate in all the Main Dining Restaurants. Each had a few great dishes.
We also dined in Le Petit Chef and loved it. Would repeat.
Some dined in Eden and thought the meal was exquisite and the bread devine !!
Raw on Five had great sushi, and cooked items, at very reasonable prices.
Luminae served excellent dishes with just the right amount of choices, that forces you to try something new.
Luminae also had the best burgers; as good as Guys on Carnival.
Tried to avoid the buffet, except for afternoon snacks and cakes.
We did not have any problems with Bar Service in any location.
The Food and Wine Pairing was definetly worth the Cost.
The Production Shows and Guest Performers were all Outstanding.
Surprisingly, the Matinee Shows were full
Caught the tail end of most of the Eden Wonders and the Speakeasy Show in the Club (Amazing !!)
The early afternoon Trivia Shows in the Club were entertaining, informative and well attended.
Morning Stretch in the gym was very good and also well attended
Ryde classes not so much. I guess hips need to be protected.
The outdoor areas were lively, when the sun finally made it's presence.
Although, the Grand Plaza surrounding the Martini Bar was definitely the life of the Party.
Personally was not bothered, by all the action, when dining in the Restaurants near by.
We used the Art Book in our Staterooms to have an Art Scavenger Hunt. This activity was much more enjoyable than expected.
The alloted 45 minutes turned into hours of Art appreciation.
The Multitude and Varying Public Spaces are mind boggling, especially the many decks of Eden.
Celebrity took R/C's 270 and transformed it 360..!!
Again, the Crew determines the success of the Ship, And the Crew Members onboard the Beyond are Exceptional.
Enough credit can not be given the Guest Services Staff, who work tirelessly with mainly complaints.
They are always professional and will do there best to assist with what ever problems and issues we may have.
The Captain's morning announcements were sarcastically funny..!!
And Captain Kate although technically, not working, graciouly posed for pictures with the Guests, on Halloween, and after "Bug" trivia.
The demographic of this sailing was just right.
Most were active persons of age, and appeared to be well travelled.
Everyone greeted each other in the elevators, and in the hallways.
Everyone was polite and respectful at the buffets, eateries and bars. Club and during the Theater performanxes
I think we were all so grateful, that we were fortunate enough, to be able to Cruise onboard the Magnificent Celebrity Beyond
Will try to answer any questions.
