United StatesPortOne of the few Florida stops that is a genuine port call rather than a turnaround. Ships berth either at Pier B on the old Navy mole or at the Mallory Square pier, and both put you within a few blocks of Duval Street. The island is small enough to cover on foot and crowded enough by noon that the early hours ashore are the good ones.
- The Hemingway Home on Whitehead Street and its six-toed cats
- Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park, the best swimming beach in town
- The Southernmost Point buoy, if only to get the queue over with
- Mallory Square's sunset celebration - only worth planning for if your ship stays late
- Getting ashore
- Ships dock at Pier B (the former Navy mole) or the Mallory Square pier depending on size; both are a walk of a few blocks into Old Town, with no tender involved.
- Best months
- Dec-Apr (Sep-Oct is hurricane peak and midsummer is airless)

What Travelers Say About Celebrity Beyond
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Celebrity Beyond sailing. Distilled from 238 traveler threads, passenger reviews and travel blogs.
Celebrity Beyond debuted in 2022 as the third Edge-class ship and the first stretched one, running about 65 feet longer and one deck taller than Celebrity Edge and Apex at roughly 140,600 gross tons and about 3,260 guests at double occupancy. The lengthening, nicknamed the Harry Stretch after maritime executive Harri Kulovaara, let designers expand and add venues rather than simply enlarge cabins. The result is a strikingly elegant ship that reviewers frequently call one of the most beautiful large vessels at sea.
What People Love
- Stunning, sophisticated design that's repeatedly called one of the most elegant large ships afloat
- Le Voyage by Daniel Boulud, a Michelin-chef specialty restaurant unique to the stretched ships and a marquee dining draw
- Spacious, well-designed staterooms with Infinite Verandas that feel roomier and more functional than typical cruise cabins
Common Complaints
- Disappointing Oceanview Cafe buffet, the most consistent complaint, with food often cold and a perceived quality decline since 2024
- Understaffing, especially in beverage service, leaving guests to fetch their own drinks
- Service that feels less premium than Celebrity's reputation, with some veterans citing a slide toward mass-market
