Review summary

Overall this was an incredible trip of a lifetime! We got to see so many new places, while also enjoying the luxury of a cruise! The Beyond is incredible, as is her captain! Well done Celebrity!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very quick and easy! No lines either!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The rooms were incredible! We loved the detail that went into all of the different spaces! We loved being able to go to different restaurants even for main dining.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Our favorite was the spa! The day pass was so worth it! We enjoyed having the solarium for some quite relaxing reading time. Every space was clean all the time. We loved how they could turn the mood around in the evening for lots of fun!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were absolutely incredible! The talent and passion was so evident; the performers had so much energy to share and it was just very special!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was unparalleled! Every single server was amazing. Special shout out to Tashmina with her beautiful "ole coffee" song in the morning to brighten our day. Sasha, Chef de Rang and Fabrice, Sommelier at Le Voyage, were incredible! The service there was so impressive, I loved that our food was delivered literally at the same time. It felt very high end. Our Sommelier recommended and incredible wine. All the waiters at Le Voyage were so personal and had genuine smiles (even through the masks); we had such a wonderful night! Our room attendant, Sheldon, was so attentive to our needs and did an incredible job keeping our room just perfect the whole time. Even main dining was so special. Big thanks to Manuaba, Miguel and Bayu! Great team! Also Rodel, Deni and Ovidiu! Ovidiu had a super great choice of beer and wine for us on Thursday night, and we were grateful for his recommendations! Our spa leader Pritiksha was wonderful! We had a couples massage and it was so relaxing thanks to Pritiksha and Jenny! They really took excellent care of us, and Jenny even graciously showed us though the Spa day pass section, which we were so eager to partake in! Thank you to such and incredible group of people!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything felt so luxurious and beautiful! Cleanliess was stellar!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I loved the infinite veranda! it allowed us a balcony feel, but felt safe! It gave us a few extra square feet, when we had the window closed to add to our room. It was perfect!

Ship tip

Don't try to do everything, but enjoy and be present in the activities you choose to do!

Ports of call

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
We had a few nights here and loved the Sagrada Familia!

Marseille (Provence), France

4 out of 5
Marseille was soo busy. We walked around, because we wanted to catch a ferry to the island, but the ferry was too busy. We ended up walking far enough away to enjoy a nice lunch though.

Villefranche-Sur-Mer, France

5 out of 5
Gorgeous stop! The beach was perfect and was not far from the ship at all.

Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy

5 out of 5
Another beautiful stop. Lots of great restaurants near by, and delicious gelato!

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

5 out of 5
Pisa was close enough, and was fun, but this stop was tough to get out. We were very grateful for the complimentary shuttle to the city center.

Messina, Sicily

5 out of 5
Loved Sicily! the people were so kind, and we had so much to do even without plans!

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5
Easy walk to the port. We had a very big day with a trip to Pompeii and Mt Vesuvisu. We were able to complete that whole day and still have 30 extra minuets prior to all aboard.

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

4 out of 5
Grateful for the shuttle to the train!

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
So easy, and no lines. I do wish that they would allow a little more time as hotels in Rome didn't allow check in until 3p and we were exhausted by noon!
