Celebrity Beyond: Sanitation Record & Health Report

Let's get one thing out of the way: a CDC score of 100 is the kind of number that makes you squint at the screen and check if someone fat-fingered a decimal. They didn't. Celebrity Beyond posted a perfect 100 on its most recent inspection back on February 18, 2026, up from a 98 the sailing before that in August 2025. That's a two-for-two record, an "improving" trend on paper, and a ship that is, gastrointestinally speaking, an overachiever. For context, the fleet-wide average latest score across the 162 ships we track sits at 96.7, with a median of 98 — so Beyond isn't just clearing the bar, it's the bar. We don't have outbreak history data available for this one (the CDC's outbreak feed is being uncooperative), so we're not going to pretend we know its full illness record — but on the inspection front, this is about as clean as the paperwork gets.

Granted, "two total inspections" is a thin sample size to build a personality around — this is a 2022-built Edge-class ship, so it hasn't had decades to rack up a rap sheet, and it just went through a refurbishment in 2026 that presumably included some fresh scrubbing of every surface the CDC cares about. Still, a 98 followed by a 100 is a trajectory, not a fluke, and at 140,600 tons carrying 3,260 passengers and 1,400 crew, keeping a ship that size spotless is no small feat of galley discipline. Registered in Malta, built by the same French yard that turns out some of the prettiest hulls in the business, Beyond is basically the overachieving new kid who also happens to be tall and good at sports.

Who it's for: anyone sailing out of Miami or Fort Lauderdale who wants the newest Celebrity hardware without gambling on a ship's health inspection history — this is as close to a guarantee as the data gets. Who should skip it: germaphobes who need decades of track record before they trust anything, and anyone hoping for outbreak transparency we simply can't give them right now — the CDC's silence isn't a red flag, but it's not nothing either. Everyone else can book with a clear conscience and focus their worrying on more important things, like whether the buffet has enough of the good bread.
