The European restaurant on Hanover St. in the North End of Boston....they made a fantastic pizza years and years ago ! They'd still be there today if it wasn't for the owners avoiding paying the taxes resulting in Income Tax Evasion.

What time of the year back in 2020 were these photos of Carlisle Bay taken? Place looks great ! How far from the cruise pier? BTW..this is being written on April 10,2023.

Ill attest to the price, taxi fare and everything you get for $35.00 pp. We were there near the end of March 2023.

My advice for any time in Barbados is to go to The Boatyard, all inclusive, get there as early as you can the place fills up fast. A 20 minute taxi ride. Best bang for your buck !

How was your overall experience on the Edge? 7 nighter? Anything else to pass along?

On your February cruise what would you say the age of the fellow cruisers were?

Did you find that there was much to do in the evenings after dinner particularly if there wasn't any shows or other venues of entertainment on the Equinox?

From what I've been reading from numerous threads about the Beyond's unaccounted for noises when sailing on just about every floor has me thinking twice about sailing her in 2024. Both the Apex and Edge sound terrific, i haven't read anything about the cracking-ticking noises coming from either ship that the Beyond is getting a lot of publicity about. if any of you haven't read about it, you might want to look into that thread. let's hope the Ascent's builder wont have this issue.

Like that awesome answer. You pick the itinerary followed by the ship, hey, it works for you folks, that's all that matters.

You might be swaying us from the Beyond in early 2024 with what we've learned and heard from the noise video. I may look into the Silhouette doing a 10 or 11 night Ultimate Southern Caribbean.

Please post to let us all know what you found. Hopefully there wont be any issue again.

In total agreement with that, as do some of their Vision and Radiance class ships.

doing the Ultimate Southern Caribbean from Ft. Lauderdale in mid to late March or early April. Those ships in question would have better entertainment, shows and things to do on board. The Beyond had been our ship of choice but looks like the issues with lots of unexplained noises outweigh the positives to want to do this one. Any out there tried the Silhouette or the Equinox for this particular itinerary?

Has anyone had any of the noise issues described on the Beyond's, deck 6 mid ship E-2 cabins? To date I haven't read any. Issues mentioned in posts, those who have seem to be from deck 8 and above cabins. Thanks in advance.

Geez... there's not a lot more to be able to add to what you've said about the Beyond. I have the Bose headset but that's not how I want to enjoy our $5,000.00 cruise. Would you suggest another of their class ship? As mentioned we like that particular itinerary that I posted. need to get in a minimum of seven nights or the airfare and one night stay over in Florida isn't worth it. thank you again. I'm hoping to read more from others who have experienced this, even on the other Celebrity class ships.

No doubt "Stem to Stern" this would certainly be an eye opener for a first time to a seasoned cruiser. You'd think this would be something happening on an old and tired ship. We're very seasoned cruisers and this issue from what I'm reading seems to be taking place on the Edge series. Definitely not cool !

WOW!!!!!!!! thanks for posting this !! I'm a believer !

WOW !! am I glad I read this post with so many contributions with unexplained noises, creaking in lots of the locations. The videos looked so promising but the actual feedback from lots of CC cruisers speak for themselves. This week I booked the Beyond for March 2024, a mid ship deck six Edge Veranda. NOW.... I'm having second thoughts and will conceivably cancel thanks to what I'm reading. The great itinerary (especially going to Barbados on a large ship was our selling point and returning to Celebrity from a change from being Loyal to Royal) We got off the Voyager OTS from San Juan doing close to the same itinerary three weeks ago and wanted to plan something similar from Ft. Lauderdale in March or April 2024. On a side note, our sliding balcony door cabin 6584 made a click click sound when the ship was moving, it was loud enough to keep you awake and wake you up. We had an excellent cabin attendant that did everything he could for four days trying to resolve the problem, eventually maintenance came up took the door off and replaced parts UNDER the threshold, then the nose stopped. I'm not looking forward to having what I've been reading about the Beyond, does this appear to be an issue with ALL of this class of ships? If this is the case then I'll have to look at a different class newer Celebrity ship that may hopefully have that itinerary. As someone from the northeast the airfare to San Juan was very steep so leaving from Ft. Lauderdale at that time of the year is our preference. Thanks in advance to those who reply.

As well as any of the Headliner shows, I've read mixed reviews on both for past posts. On a seven night cruise how many nights are these different events taking place? Looking forward to your comments, thanks in advance to those who reply.

Which Royal ship were you on? We were on the Voyager 3/19-3/26, as of March 26th the one cabin cleaning a day option was going into effect. Our cabin attendant told us that by the end of April all of the fleet were to be completed. Thanks for your reply the same with others who have replied as well.

Did the Celebrity fleet follow the same "choose your morning or evening cabin attendant cleaning" option for those in the lower tier cabins? Sister Line Royal will have all their ships completed by the end of April. Thanks in advance to those who reply.

Yes, come to think of it. I was going to message you but saw you aren't set up for it. We've been "Loyal to.." up to our D+ status a few years ago by doing 2-3 cruises a year but wanted to try something else. We're booked on the next and first LNG ship from them in 2024 but still wanted to try a newer Celebrity ship. you mentioned 4 MDR's. Are people assigned to one of them throughout the cruise or do people rotate like Royal did a few years ago. To us we didn't care for that at all. Do you ever see men and women wearing shorts with a clean tee or short sleeve shirt at Dinner or are long pants what they insist on? We have an E-2 on deck six midship, Has Celebrity gone to the one cabin cleaning per day like RC has? What else can you tell me about Eden from the shows and views. Like RC there's always lifeguards at every pool, is it the same with X? Do the lounge chairs at the pools all have cushions for added comfort or are they strap web? How would you rate the Entertainment and Shows, anything noteworthy to add? Does X use the same Cruise Terminal as Royal at Ft. Lauderdale. How's the Embarkation process there. Was the Magic Carpet used on your cruise, what's the purpose of it, reading about it is rather vague. If you or others can provide any pros and cons about the Beyond please do, we'd like to know more about it as time goes on. Thanks !

Can you tell us just what it was about the Beyond that you really liked as much? I'm trying to gather as much information as I can to convince the other half to take a "ride' on the Beyond. Thanks in advance !

Same glasses but not filled close to the rim as you'd normally expect to get regardless to whether you're paying for it, a drink package or a C&A benefit. I will say that for the most part if we got a weak drink the server did add a little more if he was told the drink was too weak. Waiters and Bartenders have been told to do that even if questioned. It's just one way for the Company to save a little more money. One bartender said the reason is, it's so people wont spill their drinks on themselves or on the floor. Yah right, and I've got a bridge to sell yah too.
