Thanks for sharing 🎉
Great info on the Productions shows. It gave us a good preview. Hope we can meet the Captain of the ship Capt Kate on our trip. The sunset was gorgeous at 13:45. We loved the Sunset Bar. We will visit it.
Tequila a go go was a very good restaurant in the Royal Caribbean port
We are back again in February so maybe we will be able to check that out!
Lindoooo❤
😄
😮😮
😀
Thank you so much for the video. It’s excellent
We are glad you found it helpful!
I'm sailing on the Equinox in 3 weeks and from this video I'm sure I won't be dissapointed....looks like the typical, high class, comfortable Celebrity ship. They really do it right!!!! This is my 16th cruise with Celebrity....wonderful cruise line.
Enjoy your cruise!
Thanks for the info. We are booked 5 - 12 Apr 2026.
You’ll love it!
Great tips. Sailing on World America, MSC, 146 days, 12-19 Apr 2025. Will review your video a few times before sailing
You’ve got plenty of time to get your packing list and cruise essentials ready.
I’m perfect timing! I’m cruising in 29 days 😬
Great timing - I hope you’ve got your packing list ready.
I’m the first to view! I win the prize! 🎉
Thank you!
What time of year did you go if it’s rainy season?
We were there in March.
You said the cost to the park in $26 per person. What does that include? Are the food and drinks a separate charge? Or does the $26 cover that? Also, is there a separate charge if you want to.go snorkeling?? Im going to Cozumel in March, 2025.
That was the admission few which included chairs and palapa where we were sitting. The food and drinks are extra. Snorkelling is free unless you want to rent equipment or pay for a guided snorkelling tour.
Loved your review and we were on the same cruise. We were on this ship for a TransAtlantic, and as it got cooler, we got to sleep with the Infinite Veranda open..... it was amazing.
We’d love to do a transatlantic crossing on the Beyond!
Great video 🎉Thank you!
Thank you too!
We are sailing on the Beyond Nov 15 for a 10 day Southern Caribbean cruise. Thanks for giving us a heads up on the fun places to visit on the ship!
Enjoy your cruise! We are sure you will have a great time!
We are on the same Nov 15 cruise… 1st time on Celebrity
when were you on the ship? We sailed Oct 19-27 and loved it!
We were there in August
Wish that Celebrity and other cruise lines would offer a cruise catering to people like me: health and fitness devotees, non- drinkers, gym rats and healthy eaters. I feel out of place on most cruises due to the homogeneity of passengers; in every way, they are not relatable to me. I am done with cruising.
You may want to give Aquaclass a try on Celebrity. We just did on the Infinity and it definitely seemed geared towards health minded folks. Aquaclass has its own restaurant (Blu) that features clean eating and healthy choices for breakfast and dinner. There is also the Spa Cafe for healthy breakfast and lunch options - including smoothies. Aquaclass also has access to the Persian Garden which is all about wellness and relaxation. We had exercise mats and foam rollers in our room and the gym was very well equipped. On the daily planner there were so many exercise/fitness classes, yoga, stretching, dance classes and plenty of activities - you could start first thing in the morning and go practically all day if you wanted. There is basketball, pickleball, and a walking/running track. They even have onboard trainers and staff that can create an individualized plan for the voyage if you are so inclined. Then when it comes to ports of call you can choose activities or excursions that involve high intensity - hikes, swims, rafting, bicycles, etc. The nice thing about cruising is that there is something for everyone. On our last trip we saw many different kinds of people - relaxers, exercisers, party peeps, readers, tourists, adventurers, dancers, eaters, sun worshipers - the list goes on. We also saw many people who liked to do some of all of these things!
We are gym rats and love training on the ships and healthy eating is easily done. We have been on 4 cruises and counting. Born to cruise and forced to work.
@ Me too, but there are few to no people ever in the fitness center.
I just got off the Beyond..did the 19oct-27oct cruise out of ft.lauderdale..my first time on a Celebrity brand..I’m hooked..
It can be addictive! LOL!
Nice we been on 2 of the edge class.
We are planning a trip on the next Edge Class ship as soon as we can!
“I don’t want dessert.” Well that’s not the question😂😂 love that!
Everyone loves dessert, right?!?!? 🤣
We’re on the Beyond next week and I think we HAVE to try this! 🎉 You Canadians are Hardcore!! 😂
You’ll love it! It is a great ship and you definitely should give it a whirl!
TY. I'm going to be there in 40 days!!!
Enjoy your cruise !
This video is awesome. Thank you! We are visiting Antigua for our honeymoon in November. Was there an easy way such as a link to book a day pass, or did you have to call the resort directly? Thank you in advance for your help.
Congratulations! You can check day pass rates and availability directly on the Sandals website, or you can try one of the sites like www.resortforaday.com. We have never used the latter so we can’t comment on it one way or the other - we went directly through Sandals. Hope this helps!
@@DocksideTravel Just circling back here. Thank you for the tips! Sandals Antigua was not on resort for a day but we booked other day passes through there for our trip so thank you SO much! I did call the sandals number and they said they couldn't connect me and that I had to call the resort directly. This was s bummer because it was an international call not to mention I had tried twice before getting a hold of someone - hoping the hassle will be worth it. Based on your video it sounds like it might be. One more quick question - I did not receive a confirmation # and they did not charge me. They just asked for our names. Does this match your experience?
Cruising is personal. I think there are different types of cruisers that like to do different things. There are general categories of cruisers like single, couple, families, and groups. Then there are preference cruisers like spend a lot of time in their staterooms and one or two particular public area types; try different restaurant types; engage in group activities type; avoid group activities and go for mingling in bars or quiet spaces types; pool activities types; sail for the itinerary and keep to themselves types; and on and on. I was a couples cruisers and favored lounge life (that is, lounges with dance floors where couples danced to their favorite music, not group dancing that much). Food wasn't the priority for me although I enjoyed good food on Celebrity. But all the specialty restaurants are unnecessary for me (one of the reasons I don't care for the Edge class ships much). I lived in two or three lounges and liked the promenade deck and couldn't care less about stateroom balconies. So I think we all have different priorities. Now, you do a good job of pointing out some highlights some people may like. But some couldn't care less about some of them as well.
Absolutely - our own cruise preferences have changed over the years as well!
haha awesome! I need to do this next time I'm on Beyond. New subscriber!
Thanks for subscribing! We loved the ship!
What do you need to make the reservation at Tillies for? Beach chairs or lunch?
Lunch - it can get quite busy there!
Your video has me very excited for my upcoming cruise. This will also be my first time with Celebrity. Have sailed with Royal Caribbean many times. Can't wait for Feb 2025. Thank you for sharing your video.
You will love it! The anticipation of an upcoming cruise always gives us something to look forward to!
Do you know if they have this option on the Equinox?
Yes, the Equinox has alcoves at the lawn club - although they are a different style/shape. We have rented those in the past too and actually like them better than the alcoves on the Reflection! The Equinox also has the glass blowing studio instead of the Lawn Club Grill.
We clear the mini fridge too!
Always! There’s not a lot of space in there so we need it all for our things!
We do the same . Last day of cruise I give $$$$ to people who made my cruise !
Nice!
Happy Anniversary! I took a HAL cruise to Curacao recently, and absolutely loved it - such a gorgeous island!
It really is!
Happy anniversary, guys on both of them
Thank you so much!
Happy Anniversary!!!!
Thank you!
Are kids/teens allowed in the bar areas with parents? Like could our kids come with us in there if we wanted? Thank you!
We saw kids in pretty much all locations except the Casino. Not sure if that was policy or just what was happening on our sailing.
@@DocksideTravel thank you!
We are going on our honeymoon. Any suggestions for a honeymoon?
Congrats! Definitely try a specialty dinner for two - and ask for a seat by the window. You should let the cruise line know you are celebrating a very special occasion. In the past we have also ordered champagne, flowers, and chocolate covered strawberries to our room. As newlyweds you might like to try the game show where they have three couples compete - one newlywed couple, one married for about 10 years and another that’s been married for 25+. Again congratulations and enjoy your cruise!
How did you book your day passes?
You can contact Sandals directly to check day pass availability and prices (www.sandals.com/faqs). Alternatively, you can check out a website like this one for cruise passengers looking for day passes: www.resortforaday.com/. There are probably other similar sites as well - we don't endorse any particular site or company so be sure to check it out thoroughly first!
Was too busy and crowded for us!
It does get very busy! We are going to try something different on our next visit there.
How do I get captains perks?
Captain's Club is Celebrity's loyalty program and you earn points for each day you sail with them. As Elite Level members we get invited to a number of events throughout the cruise!
best. trip. ever!
It sure was!
Thanks
Thank you!
Great video dockside!
Thanks!
Thank you, great video. We are headed to the ABC’s in January on the Reflection. 98 days till we put our toes in Bonaire sand!
That is awesome!
Thanks. AFAIC, Celebrity ships end here. The Edge class are something else that is not the same spirit or elegance of this class of ship and previous. Usually I'm not an older is better type and embrace change and find something good in newer ships but the Edge ships I don't like one bit. So, I hope these ships stay well maintained and the level of service and food remains high so that people that don't want anything to do with the Edge ships have these to go to. Maybe after the Edge they'll bring back some of the character of these lovely Solstice ships but I'm not holding my breath. Favorite part of the Equinox (Solstice class ships). The Martini Bar. It's chic, elegant, evocative, intimate. Great space. Ruined on the Edge ships IMO.
We love the Martini Bar on the S Class ships too!
Ooooh Barbados was amazing.
It sure was!
We loved this port…and the snorkeling was the best yet!
Wait until you see Bonaire!
So fun!!!
Try the Tuscan Grille!
We loved this ship, great staff..the bartender even sang for us.
It was a great ship!
St. Lucia was soooo nice, would love to go back.
Hopefully the next time we are there the weather cooperates!
Amazing, loving these videos
Glad you like them!
