I Took a Luxury Cruise From New York City

Celebrity Beyond / Here2there1 3/27

Celebrity is our favorite premium cruise line, and the very definition of affordable luxury at sea, offering speciality dining, exceptional entertainment and stylish, state-of-the-art facilities on board. In October we cruised on the Celebrity Beyond - the newest of the Edge Class ships. We'd already cruised on her sister ships, the Edge and Apex, so in October we decided to try the Beyond. Although the overall layout is similar to the other two, she does have a few unique features of her own. We especially enjoyed the larger Grand Plaza. Whether you describe it as "Modern Luxury"" or "Relaxed Luxury", the Beyond definitely offers an upscale premium cruise experience. This is our detailed review of the onboard experience.
