About Me

Peaceful Spaces all over the ship!
Peaceful Spaces all over the ship!

Some cruises are about non-stop action. Celebrity Beyond is about space, serenity, and stunning design—and after sailing for 7 days through the Caribbean, I can confidently say it’s one of the most relaxing and elegant cruise experiences I’ve ever had.

From the moment I stepped aboard, I felt the difference. This ship is calm. There’s a sense of quiet sophistication woven into every corner—from the tranquil open spaces to the cozy seating areas tucked away around the ship. One of my favorite spots was the Rooftop Garden—lush, peaceful, and the perfect place to read, sip a cocktail, or simply watch the sea go by. It felt like a floating park in the sky.

Our stateroom was ready as soon as we boarded, which made everything feel easy and seamless right from the start. The room itself was a retreat—with a floor-to-ceiling panoramic window that turned the ocean into a moving mural. Waking up to that view each day was pure magic.Eden was another standout—a stunning space filled with greenery, wraparound windows, and ever-changing energy. Whether it was coffee in the morning or cocktails at night, Eden became one of my favorite escapes onboard.

Then there were the champagne-flute-shaped hot tubs, perched above the pool deck like little bubbles of bliss. With panoramic views of the ocean, they felt like the perfect place to soak, reflect, and fully relax.

One of the coolest tech features? The Celebrity app, which let me control the lights, close the shades, and even lock the door—all from bed. Talk about luxury at your fingertips.While Celebrity Beyond feels relaxing and elegant, it still knows how to have fun. I attended the biggest silent disco party I’ve ever seen—hundreds of people dancing with headphones on, each in their own groove but together in such a fun way. It was unforgettable. There was also daily trivia, which was well-run and always a highlight, especially for those of us who love a little friendly competition.

The buffet food was truly amazing—fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with variety. From made-to-order pasta to fresh seafood and incredible desserts, this didn’t feel like standard cruise fare—it felt elevated.Another thing I appreciated: this cruise felt quiet, and I mean that in the best way. There were only about 130 kids on board, so it was ideal for adults looking to relax, recharge, and explore without the high-energy vibe you find on more family-focused ships.

Our 7-night itinerary was the perfect balance of exciting ports and peaceful sea days:

  •     Perfect Day at CocoCay – private beaches, overwater cabanas, and crystal- clear water. 
  • Cozumel, Mexico – beach club fun with endless food, drinks, and ocean views. 
  • Jamaica – full of soul, music, and stunning scenery.
  • Grand Cayman – postcard-worthy water and marine life.
  • Two full days at sea – where I got to explore the ship and unwind completely.

I truly love Celebrity Cruises. If you’re looking for a cruise that combines upscale design, thoughtful service, a bit of fun, and a whole lot of calm, Celebrity Beyond should be at the top of your list. Ready to sail away in style? Let me help you plan your own unforgettable cruise with Celebrity. Whether you’re dreaming of Caribbean waters, gourmet dining, or the perfect quiet escape, I’ll handle every detail to make your getaway seamless and stress-free.

We haven’t even taken our Disney trip yet, but I already can’t say enough good things about working with Rachael! Planning Disney can feel overwhelming, but she has made the whole process easy, stress-free, and actually FUN. She’s been so patient answering all my (many!) questions, sharing insider tips, and helping us think through the best plans for our family with a toddler. I’ve truly enjoyed the planning stage thanks to her guidance and excitement—it feels like she’s just as invested in making this magical as we are.

She is a true PIXIE DUST PRO!
Reviewed By Keoni - California | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
A Magical Experience Thanks to Rachel! Rachel was an absolute dream to work with for our family’s recent trip to Disney World. From the very beginning, she brought warmth, expertise, and a genuine passion for making our vacation unforgettable. She helped us navigate every detail, from choosing the perfect lodging to recommending delicious dining options that fit our family’s tastes and budget. But what really set Rachel apart was her thoughtful planning of our park days. She knew exactly how to structure each day to maximize fun and minimize stress. Thanks to her tips, we avoided long lines, caught the best shows, and even found quiet moments to recharge. Her insider knowledge made all the difference. Rachel didn’t just plan a trip, she crafted an experience that felt effortless and magical. We can’t thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone looking to make the most of their Disney adventure. She’s a true pixie dust pro!

Best. Trip. Ever
Reviewed By aundria_nicole - Lake Orion, MI | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Disney is not for the faint of heart and we could not have made heads or tails of anything without Rachael's help! We would have been completely lost! She helped us every step of the way, and was even answering questions while we were there, while SHE was on vacation! Could not recommend enough and when we go back, we'll definitely be reaching out for her help again.

Luxury I Needed!!!

Picture this... I was tired from a busy Diamond agency week at Disney World in the heat, so stepping aboard Celebrity Beyond and finding our room ready the moment we boarded was such a relief. No waiting, no hassle—just easy and smooth from the start. The room itself felt like a little retreat, especially with that floor-to-ceiling panora...

Tips and Tricks!
We were planning our first Disney vacation and Rachael made every step so easy and straight-forward, from recommending places to stay and packages to book, to providing the best deals, to jumping online at 6am to book every single reservation we wanted and then some! Our trip was truly magical thanks to Rachael! Any question we had, we texted to her and she responded lightning fast with not only the answers to our questions, but additional information that helped us even more! From answering questions related to our activities and the Disney app, to providing recommendations on where to watch the parade and Magic Kingdom fireworks (right below Tinkerbell flying!), to providing tips on what to look for during the fireworks that we would have otherwise missed, Rachael helped make our Disney vacation the absolute best! We can't wait to plan another vacation with you, Rachael! Thank you again! If you’re planning a Disney trip, do yourself a favor and reach out to her!
