I saw the same thing!

Yes, whatever cruise line is in port that day can use the facilities.

We did a Royal Caribbean sightseeing excursion that dropped us off at JFK and it was very good. We got to the airport mid afternoon and ended up in the lounge. We were flying to Geneva.

1. No coffee pot in our room, midship balcony, deck 10, #12146. Don't think they do this anymore because of Covid. Maybe if you are in a suite, yes. 2. Starbucks is on Deck 6 but I don't know if it is included in the regular drink package (probably not). Sorry we didn't have a drink package. 3. We had a great experience with both Savor and Taste. Enjoyed the smaller dining venues. Had no problems walking up and getting a table for 2 but we didn't go during the rush. 4. No dueling pianos.

I actually saw numerous people in there. They must have had the packages as I looked at the menu and couldn't believe people would pay that much for what was offering.

Good question. I will go back through the Dailys and see if I can find something. I know there was a private function going on in LeBistro one day. Also, saw American Diner open on the sea days. Other than that, I do not think they were open.

I know several people had issues with the bar service but we didn't. Favorite was the Sunset Bar and had great service with a waiter named Adelion. He only works at the Sunset Bar.

No, you cannot.

When we got to our cabin on embarkation day (Nov. 13), there was a letter. Jazz standards with Alexa (plays piano and sings); Piano and vocals by Beau Tahana; Keepin' It Country with Neilly Rich Band; Party Time with Latin Soul Duo; DJ Keith and DJ Leroy; ADDA Band; and Full Coverage Band.

Beyond is a beautiful ship and doesn't feel like a cruise ship at all. The cabin and bathroom were spacious and decorated wonderfully. We had a Concierge Class Infinite Balcony, which we probably would not book again. We like a traditional balcony more but it was fun to try out. Celebrity's food was a very big disappointment especially the buffet. Food wasn't hot a lot of times. Some others have said they were starving and couldn't wait to get to McDonald's for a real meal. That is a bit ridiculous. There were plenty of things to eat but they just weren't that great. Other than just relaxing or playing the occasional trivia contest, we were a bit bored on the Beyond. The evening shows like Arte and Elements were great except for the comedian. That said, NCL's Choir of Men was the best show we have seen on sea or land. Would we go back on both ships? Yes but we purchased the future cruise deposits for NCL. And, yes, we have sailed both before many times and have Elite status on Celebrity and Platinum status on NCL.

No Christmas decorations yet. I think they wait until the Thanksgiving sailing or the week after. Lots of new people on board and lots leaving for vacation. We did go to Amber Cove instead of Puerto Plata. Itinerary was: Great Stirrup Cay, St. Thomas, Tortola and Amber Cove. Will try to figure out how to post the dailies. Lots of information.

My husband and I actually thought the food was better on the Encore than on the Beyond. The buffet was better as well as the dining rooms. We didn't do any specialty dining on the Beyond this time around but loved Cagney's and Q.
