I watch another couple who always stay in the fancy balcony cabins which I could never afford. So I really appreciate you showing the interior cabin. Your videos are very down to earth and I really enjoy your content.
We want to thank you so much for this series about the Beyond. We just got back from Beyond this week. We had only booked this cruise around Christmas so we didn't have much time to plan. Not only do you guys cruise pretty much like my wife and me but we were even down the same corridor as you were on the Beyond! We cruise a lot on Celebrity, but we were just blown away at how beautiful this new ship is, and of course it's always a treat to have Captain Kate at the helm. Happy sailing!
I can see why you guys love this ship. Amazing! Very impressed, I've never seen onboard a Celebrity Cruise. I can't wait to sail one day. I noticed it looks like the ship has no balconies but the windows actually roll halfway down to create the balcony.
Celebrity is fast becoming our favorite cruise line. The music acts in all the bars and lounges are top notch. Love first day aka embarkation day! I like the improvement of switching the cabanas to face the pool. We reserved a cabana on Apex and yes, you got a lovely view of the ocean but also foot traffic right by the cabana and people stopping to sit and hang out in the two chairs by the railing, which were technically part of the cabana rental, so our attendant was constantly telling people not to sit in them. I felt bad for him and also for the people since it wasn't that obvious and a weird setup. No worries about turning in- take care of yourselves and get some rest when you need it!
My sister, Sally, and I were excited to meet you on the recent cruise on the Beyond. Thank you both for being so gracious when we disturbed your meal at Eden Cafe. Happy Thanksgiving to you wherever you are
Celebrity is one of our favorite cruise lines! We haven't been on the Beyond yet but it's definitely on our bucketlist. Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to see the rest of the vlogs!
It looks like another fun and fancy adventure! How good of you to check out parking alternatives! Did the shuttle get you to port early enough? That is our biggest issue with shuttles and parking options: they often get you to port later than we wold like.
Ah, I saw Beyond when she was here in England for a very short time - she looked stunning, but really comes into her own when on your side of the pond. Great video!
No excuses are necessary. It's your trip and we are happy you are sharing it with us. Nice to see they made some improvement on the closet/storage situation. At least, it seems to be better than what I had at the Edge on a balcony cabin. They do allow us to pay the difference on drinks (Edge experience ). I'm going on the Silhouette soon without the "all included" part. I believe I could do better 😬🙄🙏
Tech talk about the “crazy banding situation”. It’s caused by LED lighting, which pulses at the electric current’s frequency. If the electricity is at 60Hz, try slowing the video shutter to 1/25sec ( or 1/24th sec “cinema mode”). My Sony camera has an anti flicker mode that I use for stills. Maybe it works for video as well?
Nice to see Celebrity turned the cabanas to face the pool. We went on Apex and having them facing the walkway was just odd. No one actually used them that we could see on our sailing.
Sorry we missed you, we were on when you got off we did 7 day concierge class loved the entertainment and had no problems with the infinit veranda but 2am lights go on blind went up andtv went on I yelled at my husband thought he must have hit something to find out it was the whole ship lol. Also freaky elevator's passing decks going up after it was going up certainly made for fun conversations but one beautiful ship
Question regarding using (Park by the ports) how early should we reserve a spot for our next cruise? We really enjoy your videos, they are very helpful and fun, and we have recommended to others to check out your videos.
We usually don’t have issues getting a parking reservation pretty last minute, but they do serve the airport and cruise port. We assume they could “fill up” but they have loads of parking space so it doesn’t seem likely!!
When you have a GTY cabin and it's assigned, you can ask them to move you to a different cabin if you wish. Celebrity will do this but other cruise lines may not...
Wow. What a stunning ship. Even more beautiful than the Edge. Which is saying something!! I’m curious what the crackling in the audio is during parts of the video. Sounds like an autofocus motor, but I don’t usually hear that during your videos.
Yesssss, the status matching is awesome. And they match every time, so as you move up with Royal, you can continue to move up with Celebrity until you hit their Elite level!! :D
Fun to see the new ship. The banding is terrible. I'm not a tech person, so I have no idea if there isn't some kind of "filter" or "setting" that you can use. About the only point where it wasn't down right annoying was looking at Jay's socks! Hopefully it was a great cruise.
The problem is that LED lights flicker very rapidly when they produce light. It’s invisible to the eye. But unfortunately visible to the camera, because the shutter speed of the camera is not synced to the flicker of the lights. There is starting to be better flicker reduction features in some larger higher end cameras now. But nothing in the size that Jay carries at the moment unfortunately as far as I’m aware.
Oh no, it's awful and we can't do a thing about it right now. Hopefully our preferred camera model eventually introduces something to help fight that. The low-level LED lighting is KILLER on video... ergh!! :P ~Jay
@@justinflood My husband was thinking changing the frames per second on the camera speed. Have to be a really good camera. He thinks the LEDs are at about 50 cycles. Depends on generators etc.
AH new ship smell...I LOVE to hear what your hotel solutions are, we had a little incident at the Radison in Titusville and will be staying at the Baltimore Best Western sailing in August, hopefully won't need Ron to bring pizza. I am sailing solo out of Tampa in February, I think Days in Airport - Cruise Port? Hotels are my thing because I don't drive, just requested to join a cruising hotel group but it takes time.
If you are looking for parking close to the Fort Lauderdale port, try Park’N Go. We have used them for over 10 years, and they are amazing! Super short drive to the ship. Good discount if you pay ahead; easy to get refund if cruise cancels. Need I say more?
@@dfosterpeps2211 , Yep ( i wish they had Park & go - for port Miami - NOT in downtown miami area , like along I-95 -- Between end of turnpike & I-395 )
I just read that Captain Kate McCue is the Captain of that ship. 1st American female Captain. Hearing that announcement while you were in the room though tells me it is not. Hmmmmm
We still try to stay busy and check out as many activities as we can on every ship we sail, but the 14-hour single-day drive to south Florida gets us sometimes!! :P
Nothing better than embarkation day after you’ve emptied your carryon and completed your watchy watchy…and sign in at your muster station….cruise on!

My wife and I just got off the beyond yesterday. And it’s an amazing ship. The crew is wonderful.

Sleep is good! I love all the information I learn from watching your videos, so please never feel bad about needing rest. You deserve it!!

That’s a great size interior cabin !!! Lots of space, storage and Nice shower !!
Agreed - I usually cruise 'on the inside' and thought this was SO bright!
I really like they’re very unique decor! It’s quite modern and lovely.
She's a beauty!
Ah, I saw Beyond when she was here in England for a very short time - she looked stunning, but really comes into her own when on your side of the pond. Great video!

We loved the Tuscan Grill
such a beautiful ship, but most importantly, were there any Captain Kate sightings? shes so awesome!
Great dinner choices!
Really enjoy your vlogs ! Thank you for the great content … always cheerful and enthusiastic …

Judging by the "good night" segment, Jay got it figured out.
On day 1 we always get the attendant to empty the fridge and then we stuff it with unopened bottles from the bar with the drinks package. 😂
This is exactly what I do - great idea!
Nice to see Celebrity turned the cabanas to face the pool. We went on Apex and having them facing the walkway was just odd. No one actually used them that we could see on our sailing.
Awesome video thanks for sharing

Oh wow, that's quite the adventure, ha ha... hope you had an amazing cruise!! :D
Oh I am going to love this series. I will be on the Beyond November 2023..woo hoo. Thx guys🚢😊
Beyond February 2023
Oh, I'm so jealous - what route are you doing on her?
@@FraserAtSea I am going 9 days grand Cayman, Aruba,Curacao,Jamaica
From Infinity to Beyond!! Really nice looking ship! One of these days we will cruise a Celebrity cruise..Looking forward to seeing more!
I'd recommend - even their older ships really are fantastic!
The banding on Celebrity ships! Man... I wonder why you haven't encountered this issue with any other cruise line. Strange, that!
Loved this. Will never understand those double-sided Deep Sleep signs. Think one side should say Make up Room. Thanks for sharing.
Yep me too. Just wondering if white side is for during daytime and black is for night but that wouldn’t make any sense either.
Question regarding using (Park by the ports) how early should we reserve a spot for our next cruise? We really enjoy your videos, they are very helpful and fun, and we have recommended to others to check out your videos.

beautiful ship. But I love the older Celebrity ships better. Could you hear doors in hallway slamming in your room? This is my biggest pet peeve
Wow. What a stunning ship. Even more beautiful than the Edge. Which is saying something!!
I’m curious what the crackling in the audio is during parts of the video. Sounds like an autofocus motor, but I don’t usually hear that during your videos.
Oooh, curious! I'll have to see if I can dig deeper into that!! :O ~Jay
Did you all get to see/meet Captain Kate? I love her UA-cam and Tiktok!
No, she was aboard as a passenger that week, but we never ran into her!!
We'll go on Celebrity eventually. Trying to get Diamond on Royal First.
Yesssss, the status matching is awesome. And they match every time, so as you move up with Royal, you can continue to move up with Celebrity until you hit their Elite level!! :D

Unfortunately park by the ports is only open until 3pm (per their website). Not convenient if you are flying back from a transatlantic cruise.

Renaissance cruise port Fort Lauderdale, less than 3 miles from Port.
The key to off port parking is the return to your car….please keep us posted to the pickup times
Have seen squirmishes in the pickup line waiting to get back to your car.
I'm researching Celebrity fir my 2nd solo cruise. Did you happen to notice if the solo meetup details were listed in the daily events on the ship?
Did D find The special ducks on board?
Got to watch your Dees around those Solo and Singles.
How was your experience with the parking shuttle? Did you have to wait long on either end? 😊
No, it was super fast on both ends. We’ve used them twice again since these vlogs with great results!! :D
@@parodeejay Thank you! Love watching your videos 😃

I agree with you / Park & Go does also airport @Karen
Yes Park n go is fantastic
@@dfosterpeps2211 , Yep ( i wish they had Park & go - for port Miami - NOT in downtown miami area , like along I-95 -- Between end of turnpike & I-395 )
I just read that Captain Kate McCue is the Captain of that ship. 1st American female Captain. Hearing that announcement while you were in the room though tells me it is not. Hmmmmm
She was, but she signed off shortly before our cruise. She was onboard as a passenger the week we sailed though!! :D
All crew, including captains, take vacations.
I’ve started to notice that when vloggers start to do too many cruises they stop doing as much on the ship. Understandable but not as fun as a viewer.
We still try to stay busy and check out as many activities as we can on every ship we sail, but the 14-hour single-day drive to south Florida gets us sometimes!! :P
