Forgive me for asking without doing a search first,,,. how is the condition of the ship ? we were on. Brilliance last year and was disappointed that the hot tubs were way out of date - no working jets or hot.Everything seemed very worn and tired. any good news to share on this ship ? thank you

Thanks I have seen this many times, just was curious about pre cruise discounts. If this is it, lol then there isn’t anything I am missing out on. Good to know cheers

Wonderful! thank you

I’m sure I have read that people have called captains club and got the price adjusted on things. What items would apply ? I was hoping it was on dinner packages ( we are elite plus) but I know it is not. But am I missing out on anything else? Drink upgrades or wi fi upgrades ? I should know this by now, but still get confused lol thank you Brockmom

Hello! So many of you helped me plan our March 22 - 10 night on the Beyond, so wanted to just comment on a few things. First our room - you can rest assured if you have room 11121. Beautiful and quiet. The odd little creak but no isssues in sleeping or noise from the elevator. We actually loved the location as our evenings were spent at the front of the ship at the Theatre, or the Club so super convenient taking the elevator right to our room. Also a good chance of running into Captain Kate as well in the elevator/ stair ways. We had prime view of her out of the infinite veranda when she was at the helm. ( for those die hard fans lol) -Our sailing was filled to the brim making most venues busy busy busy ! But the production shows, the Eden shows and the performances in the Club are not to be missed. We headed to the theatre at 8:40 to get our seats for the 9:30 show and by 9 pm most were taken. So you must go early ! -We stayed on board for two ports and enjoyed the pools . We did not want to fight for a sun chair and most were occupied by 8:30 on sea days so we decided right away we would enjoy the ship and the talks on sea days and not have this rushing up early morning to grab one. Made the experience much better for us. - Behind the scene tour was enjoyable but we could see no need to charge the high price they do. Unless it’s to ensure small groups.I forget the sale price we got pre cruise but if it wasn’t for the large Sbc we had, we would never have paid it. Definitely a one and done. - We were joining a group of 4 friends and even though we were assured we would be dining with them each night, we were assigned different tables. If this happens to you…..there is a hostess up the stairs on deck 4 outside Cosmopolitan and Cyprus . Visit there as soon as you board . She had it fixed so day 1 we were set for the 10 nights.( same dining room, same table and same servers ! ) Thanks to you all for all your tips! They certainly helped make our cruise a wonderful one, cheers Brockmom 🤗

Is your booking with a TA or directly with Celebrity ? as long as final payment hasn’t been made, our TA has been able to change names. good luck 😀

Thanks ! They are packed ! cheers 😃

First E ship we did was the Edge. without even the deck plans stating where public rooms were, we booked Deck 3 port side. We had been on a S class same location and loved it. Big cost savings as we were squeezing this cruise in after a 2 week on Equinox balcony. Why not ? well…noise is why we shouldn’t have booked it ! you could hear the boom boom boom from the Club going to 2 am. after 3 nights and a note to the hotel director that was not answered, I went back to Customer service and with my exhausted face, said please, have them turn the bass down so we can get some sleep. They offered us another room, that someone had complained about, and said leave your things in your deck 3 room and just pop up there to sleep. What ??? we were so exhausted we took the $200 they offered us as compensation, ( no we didn’t sleep upstairs lol) but once home decided to contact the post resolution dept. We had 2 special weeks on Equinnox and just felt that for what they charged us ( at the time really high as the Edge was new) we were taken advantage of. ( and sleep deprived lol we agreed) They did cough up more for us btw, but I knew there was no way they didn’t already know these rooms had issues…and yes they kept selling them. that was back in 2019….so this all about the money and it’s all because of the new CEO isn’t all right. They were then too! just wanted to share that experience thanks Brockmom 🍷 fingers crossed, we board Beyond next Friday. May be a never again for us too on the E class.May be a beautiful ship, but mama bear needs her sleep lol

Great example. The few times I have had an issue on board or with a booking, the bad experience ones were always where there was no empathy shown. And this one I agree with the OP, when delivering a message like he received about not getting his PH, it should have come from someone who is going to offer assistance and compensation for this for whatever reason, mess up. I sure hope someone posts who is in that room ! I’m dying to know ! sorry to the OP for their behaviour…go and enjoy Brockmom

Is Beyond keeping room for those boarding to book reservations once boarded ? to have my elite plus status discount ? Most ships hold room back for those booking on board…. is Celebrity Beyond? just so I am prepared …thanks Brockmom

Hello we board the Beyond on March 22 App is still showing menus for a 9 night sailing 10 th night says Venus closed Am I missing something here lol thanks Brockmom

Getting so excited ! Boarding on the 22nd. hope you enjoyed day 1 thank you for sharing your time with us ! 🙂

I believe Shauna Hachey is on board now so a good chance she will be in May as well, cheers !

I always suggest finding and using a good TA. Mine always has a refundable fare at a better price then building all these things in on line. And I always have someone to help me with any problems too… 🙂

Our go to place is Peebles beach in Barbados.( beside the Hilton) There is a local fish cutter truck wagon with a killer flying fish sandwich.( Cuz) amazing ! That is our lunch ! lol ( get it with cheese) if you ever want a beach day with a cheap,but amazing fish sandwich , give it a try ! The crew go here …so you know it’s good ! cheers
