Newbie Celebrity Cruiser

[RTR 21-0]

Recently returned from our first European/Mediterranean vacay on our first Celebrity Beyond cruise and to say we were blown away would be an understatement.  Beyond is a beautiful ship but what made it more special was the people working on it.  I lost count at the number of times daily we were asked how we were enjoying our cruise, how was our day, etc. After day 1 our fav bartender knew us by name, fav drink and stateroom number. Stateroom attendant was super nice and attentive and surprised us with little extras for our anniversary.  Drinks were poured with a heavy hand unlike Carnival which can be hit and miss.  If I’m paying for that drink package I want to taste more Tito’s than cranberry 😁.  Other than the Mast burger we had no complaints about the food.  Sorry Celebrity, Guy’s Burgers on Carnival is the winner in the burger category.  But we have been on 14 Carnival, one RC and one Celebrity making memories and without a doubt Celebrity will be the first we look at in the future.

Thanks for your report.  The Beyond is our favorite ship.

You will have to forgive the Celebrity Burger.  Good to hear you liked everything else though.

I am a huge fan of the burger served at lunchtime at the Rooftop Garden Grill (and Lawn Club Grill on a few of the S class ships).

You got something against eating those frozen hockey pucks?😶

We too were blown away by X having been on HAL and RCCL and Princess.  The others I had to remind them I was paying for the rum, not the cola.  My old fashioned on X I could tell they pack the drinks.
