According to the website they have "bottled and canned juices". Bars may not all have the same stocked at any given time. Bars will always have juices that they use to make cocktails. My sister always gets cranberry and seltzer with lime from bars. I cannot remember which types of juice I have seen. I usually get some orange juice from the bar at the Ocean View. The Ocean View (buffet) bar is open long hours and usually well stocked. They also have the self serve beverage stations that have juices 24/7. I have never had luck with smoothies at the Spa Cafe. They are usually watery or not well blended and not cold enough. It really depends on who makes it though. I have altered what was on the menu with some luck. I like the fresh pressed juices much better. The purple rain is delicious .

We have stayed in 9321 on Beyond. It said 25% obstruction, but I think that refers to that "frame" around the port hole. The balcony is small but fine for 2 people to sit out on. I don't recall any real obstruction otherwise and no window washing equipment nearby.

We were on this sailing too. Saw it from up by OceanView. They used the Retreat Sundeck, I believe because there was more room/favorable conditions there.

Yes, My sister got iced mochas and iced lattes. Just ask for type you want,

This was the menu on Jan 30, 2024 on Beyond

We just got off the last Beyond sailing and they had new coffee/alcohol drinks and this page was gone. My husband asked and was told any of the above can still be made because they have all the ingredients, He ordered the Aspen a few times with no problem.

Our sons always stay in a different cabin than us, but we book the all included for everyone and they get the Classic Non-alcoholic Drink Package and the basic Wifi. If your children are in your cabin, I believe you have to purchase all included for everyone and anyone under 21 yrs old gets the Classic Non-Alcholic Package but things change often. I would ask Celebrity or your travel agent to confirm one way or another so you can pre-purchase drink package if you really want it.

My sister and brother in law have gone out on that deck on both the Beyond and Apex. I had no idea it existed but they're always wandering 😁

I also agree that Taormina (use ship "excursion" for transportation there ) is well worth a visit. Same with Pompeii (we had private guide and driver through Stefano Rome Cabs and they are fantastic-have used them many times) Also went to Sorrento same day. We did Positano, Sorrento and Pompeii first time but you don't get much time in Positano because its such a long drive. Don't miss sail in and out to Kotor. It is absolutely gorgeous and worth being up early for. Lovely town to explore on your own too.

Really appreciate everyone who shared all this great info

Great, Thank you.

Just curious, how far in advance did you book with them? We are going next July and it looks like no one is taking reservations for next summer yet.

We were on Beyond 2 months ago for 9 nights. We had previously been on for 5 nights in November and Apex for a week in January, just for context. We thought the food quality was better on our most recent cruise. I will add that they did have a little less selection in the MDRs than on our previous 2 cruises. There were still choices for everyone in our group of 7 but we did notice some missing choices. One weird note is that we had to ask for bread in the MDRs each night or we did not get it. Server the first night said something about not wasting food. So we just asked each night and got bread baskets at our table. We went to Eden and Rooftop and those were both consistently good as past cruises. The buffet was close to the same as best we could tell. Still a lot of choices and plenty of vegetables and healthy choices too. I will also say Apex still had the best food of the last 3 cruises IMO but I am guessing they have made changes too. We are not thrilled by the changes and hope they work it out a bit better. They are not lowering cruise prices and should be providing a level of quality to reflect that. We are still booked for Beyond early nest year since we love the new Edge class ships.

The Celebrity app is very helpful. It will have hours and menus to view for each venue. It even has a feature under dining that says "hungry now" so you can see what your options are at any time. The daily paper you receive each night will also post all options for the next day. You do not need reservations for the 4 "main" dining rooms. Just show up at the podium when hungry. During breakfast/lunch you will have many options (most included but some extra) .Eden Cafe, Spa Cafe, Ocean View (buffet), Mast Grill etc. On embarkation day you can usually go to Spa Cafe, Ocean View or Mast Grill. Possibly Eden Cafe as well. Bistro is open for lunch usually as well but for an extra charge.
