Celebrity Beyond Daily Planner
Celebrity Cruises’ daily planner, Celebrity Today, is one of the most useful resources for seeing what actually happens aboard a Celebrity cruise. Rather than simply listing the ship’s amenities, the planner shows the scheduled activities, entertainment, live music, dining hours, venue hours, port information, and important details passengers receive throughout their cruise.
This collection of Celebrity Beyond daily programs comes from an August 2026 Caribbean sailing and includes two different port days: Day 2 at Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas and Day 5 in Philipsburg, St. Maarten. Together, the schedules provide a useful look at how Celebrity Beyond operates throughout a port day, with onboard activities continuing while guests are ashore and a much fuller entertainment schedule taking over in the evening.
Below you can view the original Celebrity Today pages and Daily Planners, along with destination information distributed to passengers during the cruise. These actual schedules are especially helpful for anyone planning a Celebrity Beyond cruise and wondering what the daily activities, entertainment, dining, and port days are really like.
Celebrity Beyond at Perfect Day at CocoCay
Celebrity Beyond was scheduled to dock at Perfect Day at CocoCay at 8:00 a.m., with all aboard at 4:00 p.m. The planner lists sunrise at 6:37 a.m. and sunset at 8:00 p.m., with resort casual suggested during the day and smart casual attire for the evening.
The Celebrity Today cover also highlights some of the evening entertainment. Celebrity Showtime: Elements was scheduled in The Theatre at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., while other nighttime options included That’s a Match, Country Night, and Soultown! at The Club.
Guests could also attend a welcome with Captain Nikolas and the ship’s senior officers before the evening shows.
Activities Throughout the Day
One of the advantages of looking at an actual Celebrity Beyond daily planner is seeing just how much remains scheduled onboard even while the ship is in port.
The day’s activities included general knowledge trivia, bean bag toss, pool volleyball, pool golf chipping, a darts challenge, and the Majority Rules game show. Several of these activities took place at The Club, while outdoor events were held on the Resort Deck.
The planner also included information about drink packages at Perfect Day at CocoCay. Guests with Celebrity Classic or Premium Drink Packages were advised that they could receive Royal Caribbean’s Deluxe Drink Package while on the island, including eligible beverages up to $14. Guests with Celebrity’s Non-Alcoholic Drink Package could use Royal Caribbean’s Refreshment Package at CocoCay.
Spa and wellness promotions and seminars were also featured during the day.
Celebrity Beyond Daily Planner Schedule
The dedicated Daily Planner page provides the most detailed overview of the day’s schedule.
Activities began early in the morning and continued late into the evening. Options included fitness activities, arts and crafts, trivia, pickleball, poolside music, dance classes, musical bingo, game shows, pub quiz, and organized Camp at Sea programming for children and teens.
Celebrity Showtime: Elements was offered twice, at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
There was also a substantial live music schedule. Performances were spread among the Resort Deck, Grand Plaza, Sunset Bar, Eden, and The Club, with music continuing into the night.
The planner also shows activities available at Perfect Day at CocoCay itself, including island music, open-play beach basketball, games, volleyball, and additional live entertainment.
For travelers accustomed to Royal Caribbean’s Cruise Compass, Celebrity Today and its Daily Planner serve a similar purpose: they provide the practical schedule needed to organize each day onboard.
Celebrity Beyond Dining and Bar Hours
The daily program is also useful for planning meals because it provides operating hours for restaurants, bars, and other venues.
Breakfast options listed for this day included Blu, Cosmopolitan, Eden Café, Luminae, Oceanview Café, and The Spa Café + Juice Bar, although access restrictions apply to some venues.
Lunch choices included Craft Social Bar, Le Grand Bistro, Mast Grill, Oceanview Café, and The Spa Café + Juice Bar.
For dinner, the planner listed Blu, Craft Social Bar, Eden Restaurant, Fine Cut Steakhouse, Le Petit Chef at Le Grand Bistro, Le Voyage by Daniel Boulud, Luminae, the main restaurants, Oceanview Café, Raw on 5, and Rooftop Garden Grill.
The page also provides bar hours for venues including Café al Bacio, Craft Social Bar, Eden Bar, Il Secondo Bacio, Magic Carpet, Mast Bar, Oceanview Bar, Pool Bar, Sunset Bar, The Club, The Martini Bar, and World Class Bar.
Travelers planning a Celebrity Beyond cruise may find this page particularly valuable because restaurant and bar schedules can vary from one day to another.
Perfect Day at CocoCay Information for Celebrity Guests
In addition to the ship’s regular daily program, passengers received information specifically for their day at Perfect Day at CocoCay.
The FAQ explains practical details such as Wi-Fi, drink packages, transportation around the island, accessibility, beach chairs, umbrellas, and cabanas.
According to the information provided onboard, Wi-Fi packages could be used on the island, although service could be limited in some beach areas.
Transportation was also available. Trams were described as operating approximately every 15 minutes throughout the day, with multiple stops around the island.
The guide also notes that complimentary beach access wheelchairs were available on a first-come, first-served basis, along with other accessibility features around CocoCay.
Beaches, Activities and What to Bring to CocoCay
The second FAQ page goes further into what guests can do on the island.
Among the areas highlighted are Oasis Lagoon, Coco Beach Club, Chill Island, South Beach, Thrill Waterpark, and Hideaway Beach.
For guests looking for an adults-only experience, the guide identifies Hideaway Beach as the adults-only area.
The onboard information also offers practical packing advice. Guests are reminded to bring items such as a beach towel, sunscreen, SeaPass card, and some cash if they expect to shop at the Straw Market. Closed-toe shoes are recommended for the zip line.
The guide notes that beach towels are available onboard and should be brought back to the ship unless the guest is using a rented cabana where towels are provided.
Shore Excursions and Port-Day Information
Celebrity Today also includes information about shore excursions and future destinations.
The page advertised several excursions beyond the current CocoCay visit, including a St. Maarten sightseeing experience, a San Juan evening drive, and a behind-the-scenes ship tour.
For the current port day, the operational information reiterates an 8:00 a.m. arrival and 4:00 p.m. all-aboard time.
Guests were instructed to carry their SeaPass card and valid photo identification when leaving and returning to the ship. The page also reminds passengers to bring a towel from the ship for their time ashore.
Shopping, Casino and Evening Activities
Celebrity Beyond’s daily program also gives a good sense of the commercial and entertainment options offered around the ship.
The schedule includes jewelry events, a vintage Chanel showcase, a Bvlgari sparkling wine reception, photography services, and onboard art.
Casino activities included a rollover raffle and a Lucky Fortune Drawing. The page also states that guests actively playing eligible table games or slot machines with their SeaPass card could receive a selection of complimentary beverages through the Blue Chip Club.
These listings are useful for understanding the range of activities advertised onboard beyond the headline production shows and scheduled games.
Bimini Port Guide
The materials also include a separate destination guide for Bimini in The Bahamas.
Unlike the Celebrity Beyond Day 2 planner, this is a destination guide rather than the schedule for the CocoCay port call. It provides general information for passengers visiting Bimini, including a map, local information, shore excursion suggestions, and details about Resorts World Bimini.
The guide highlights Bimini’s beaches and maritime history while also providing practical information about transportation and attractions.
Getting Around Bimini
A second Bimini page provides considerably more detail about the areas passengers may encounter ashore.
The guide identifies several stops and destinations, including Bimini Beach, Resorts World Bimini Casino, Fisherman’s Village, and the cruise port.
It also advertises a free tram with pick-up and drop-off locations at Bimini Beach/360 Restaurant, Resorts World Bimini Casino, and Fisherman’s Village.
Other information covers restaurants, shopping, the casino, pools, and beach facilities. For passengers researching a future Celebrity cruise to Bimini, these pages provide an example of the type of destination information that may be distributed onboard.
Day 5 – Philipsburg, St. Maarten
Day 5 aboard Celebrity Beyond brought the ship to Philipsburg, St. Maarten. The Celebrity Today daily program for Thursday, August 6, 2026, shows a full port day followed by a particularly busy evening of entertainment, live music, activities, dining, and nightlife.
Celebrity Beyond was scheduled to arrive in Philipsburg at 8:00am, with all guests required back onboard by 5:00pm. The suggested daytime attire was Resort Casual, changing to Smart Casual for the evening.
Day 5 Entertainment and Activities
Despite being a port day, Celebrity Beyond offered plenty for guests who stayed onboard or returned to the ship early.
The morning schedule included an Awakening Stretch Class at the Rooftop Garden, arts and crafts, guided meditation, basketball, general knowledge trivia, pickleball, themed trivia, table tennis, and other casual activities.
The afternoon continued with options such as poolside music trivia, origami, a Pool Quarterback Challenge, Aqua Motion Class, and additional trivia. Camp at Sea also offered scheduled morning, afternoon, and evening sessions for children ages 3–12.
After the 5:00pm all-aboard time, the entertainment schedule became much busier.
Evening Shows and Entertainment
One of the main productions on Day 5 was Celebrity Showtime: Stage Door, presented in The Theatre at 7:30pm and again at 9:30pm. The show draws on music associated with Broadway and West End productions and features a live symphony orchestra.
Guests looking for something more interactive had several alternatives. Karaoke was scheduled for 7:00pm, followed by a Musical Murder Mystery at 8:00pm and a Pub Quiz at 9:30pm.
Later in the evening, the schedule included a Silent Disco at 10:30pm at The Resort Deck and Wonder at Eden: Dreams at 10:45pm. An Adult Game Show: Love & Marriage with your Cruise Director was also scheduled for 10:45pm in The Club.
The complete planner is particularly useful because it shows how many events overlap throughout the evening. Rather than relying only on the highlighted activities in Celebrity Today, passengers could use the detailed schedule to compare showtimes, music performances, activities, wellness events, and other options.
Live Music and Dancing
Live music continued throughout the afternoon and late into the night.
The Day 5 schedule included DJ sets at The Resort Deck, steel pan music, performances in the Grand Plaza, acoustic music at Eden, and several late-night sets.
Venues including The Resort Deck, Grand Plaza, Eden, and The Club all had entertainment scheduled during the evening, giving passengers alternatives to the larger production shows.
Dining and Restaurant Hours on Day 5
Celebrity Beyond’s daily planner also provides a useful snapshot of when the ship’s restaurants and dining venues operated during the St. Maarten port day.
Breakfast options listed included Blu, Cosmopolitan, Eden Café, Luminae, Oceanview Café, and The Spa Café + Juice Bar.
Lunch choices included Craft Social Bar, Le Grand Bistro, Mast Grill, Oceanview Café, Raw on 5, and The Spa Café + Juice Bar.
For dinner, the program listed Blu, Craft Social Bar, Eden Restaurant, Fine Cut Steakhouse, Le Petit Chef at Le Grand Bistro, Le Voyage by Daniel Boulud, Luminae, the Main Restaurants, Oceanview Café, Raw on 5, and Rooftop Garden Grill.
The planner also includes the operating hours for numerous bars, pools, shops, the casino, spa, fitness center, and other onboard facilities. Because schedules can change from sailing to sailing, these Day 5 pages are best used as an example of what passengers may encounter rather than a guarantee of hours on a future Celebrity Beyond cruise.
Visiting Philipsburg, St. Maarten
The Day 5 materials included a dedicated St. Maarten port guide for passengers planning their time ashore.
The guide describes St. Maarten as the Dutch side of an island shared with French St. Martin. Philipsburg is the Dutch capital and serves as the primary destination featured in the guide.
Among the shore excursions highlighted were America’s Cup Sailing Regatta, Orient Beach Escape with Lunch, Ultimate Explorer Cruise & Island Tour, and Golden Eagle Catamaran Sail & Snorkel.
The guide also provides practical information for independent exploration, including transportation and shopping information.
The Philipsburg guide includes a downtown map showing the waterfront, Front Street, Boardwalk, Town Pier, water taxi route, and various shopping locations. It also highlights local foods and products such as guavaberry, Dutch cheese, conch and dumplings, callaloo, and codfish fritters.
For passengers exploring independently, the Celebrity Today program stated that downtown was approximately 1.8 km from the port, or roughly a 20–30 minute walk. Water taxis and regular taxis were also listed as available transportation options.
Day 5 Shore Excursions and Port Information
In addition to the separate port guide, Celebrity Today included more information about excursions and the day’s port procedures.
The ship’s arrival was listed for 8:00am, with the gangway on Deck 2 aft and all aboard at 5:00pm. Guests were instructed to have their SeaPass card and valid picture identification available when leaving and returning to the vessel.
The page also advertised onboard activities including a World Wine Tour and Sushi-Rolling Class, along with information about Premium Wi-Fi and other events.
An agricultural advisory on the Day 5 cover warned passengers about restrictions on bringing food and natural items ashore or back aboard, another useful detail to check when visiting St. Maarten.
Shopping, Spa and Casino Activities
As with the other Celebrity Beyond daily programs, Day 5 included a substantial selection of spa, retail, art, and shopping events.
The schedule included spa and wellness activities such as massage promotions, acupuncture, beauty seminars, and fitness-related sessions. Retail events ranged from jewelry presentations and watch events to art exhibitions and other onboard promotions.
The St. Maarten materials also included information about participating shops in Philipsburg, while a separate Celebrity Shops page highlighted brands and merchandise available onboard.
Casino activity was more limited during the port portion of the day, with the detailed planner listing a Rollover Raffle at 10:00pm. The Day 5 materials also reminded passengers that onboard credit could be redeemed in the casino.
What Day 5 Shows About a Celebrity Beyond Port Day
These pages provide a good example of how Celebrity Beyond structures a Caribbean port day. The morning and afternoon schedule was lighter while passengers had the opportunity to explore St. Maarten, but there were still activities available onboard.
Once everyone was due back aboard at 5:00pm, the ship transitioned quickly into a full evening program. Between the theatre productions, live music, trivia, karaoke, the Musical Murder Mystery, Silent Disco, Eden entertainment, and the late-night adult game show, passengers had numerous competing options.
For anyone researching Celebrity Beyond daily planners before a cruise, these schedules are also useful for seeing how much planning can be involved. Several activities and performances take place simultaneously, so checking the daily program or Celebrity Cruises app can help passengers decide what they want to prioritize.
What the Celebrity Beyond Daily Program Is Like
The complete set of pages shows that Celebrity Today is more than an entertainment schedule. It combines the ship’s daily activities with restaurant and bar hours, port information, shore excursions, spa and retail promotions, children’s programming, live music, and practical reminders.
The dedicated Daily Planner is the quickest way to see everything chronologically, while the surrounding Celebrity Today pages provide more detail about selected activities and services.
Schedules can change between sailings, so these pages are best used as an example of what was offered on this particular Celebrity Beyond cruise rather than as a guaranteed schedule for a future sailing.
