Agreed. My wife got severely ill. Breathing and coughing issues. A frog in her throat that got worse & worse. She could barely croak out a sentence by evening time. On land during Port days - it cleared up. On board and especially in the cabin - it got worse and worse. I hacked incessantly in the cabin. Back since 13 Nov and it has taken 10 days + for her to get close to normal. She had to go to the GP twice. Severe air quality issues on this ship. So many passengers coughing up lungs and hacking. Wrecked my 60th birthday cruise which ironically was her gift to me. Never known her more miserable. We could not wait for this trip to end. Sad. By contract last April [2022] we did APEX, Retreat, Ft Lauderdale to Amsterdam and had a stellar time. Everything was top notch and first rate. Incredible food, attentive staff and zero wait times or lines for anything. Retreat sundeck - they RACED over to make up the chaise. Not anymore! In addition to sick air/sick passengers on BEYOND - we noted that Celebrity have downgraded their product to save money. Evidenced by lesser amenities at the Retreat level, lower food quality/selections even at Eden or Luminae. We noticed as we compared "apples for apples" from the last cruise. All in all v disappointing and a waste of 20K... PS Rely from Celebrity: "Very sorry to hear this. I have not heard anything about air quality issues onboard the Beyond." READ THE REVIEWS AND BLOGS!
