Loved Blu, mainly dined there. Occasional visits to the buffet for tea sandwiches and pain au chocolate pastry. Delightful!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Spa was wonderful. Had 2 massages. Got my bangs trimmed for free. Pool was crowded during the day but empty at night and open until 11pm!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Stage shows were solid. Beyond has very talented singers and dancers that deliver. Really enjoyed some acoustic performances, too.

Children's Programs

I didn't bring a child. There weren't many children on the ship.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Wow! I'm low maintenance but anything I asked for was given quickly and with a smile. Carla my room steward was spectacular. Shout out to my Blu crew Mia, Michael, and Fernando. They learned my likes quickly and kept me delighted with great service and wonderful meals.

Beyond is beautiful. Crew is constantly cleaning and maintaining her.

5 out of 5
Cabin was perfectly laid out and spotless. Lots of drawer, cupboard and closet space.

Wear comfortable shoes. Big ship means lots of walking.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
No excursions. Embarkation and departure port.

George Town, Grand Cayman Did not visit port

Seas were too rough for tenders so we did not visit this island. This was my only disappointment. But, Captain Kate knows best.

Cartagena, Colombia

4 out of 5
On air conditioned bus drove through town. Quick stop for pictures at the Fort of San Felipe, then to the emerald store for a lesson, museum tour and shopping with snacks and drinks. It was fun!

Oranjestad, Aruba

4 out of 5
My snuba excursion was cancelled by operator so took a bus tour instead. Driver was really nice and informative about what it's like to live on Aruba. Visited rock formation, natural bridge, lighthouse, and Eagle Beach.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Favorite excursion! Got to snorkel in the crystal clear turquoise blue waters of Curacao. Can't wait to go back and do it again!!!

Falmouth, Jamaica

4 out of 5
Port was busy. Lots of closed shops but enough open to buy my souvenirs. Did not do excursion at this port.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy. Did the tranfer to Fort Lauderdale airport. Stood in line for the bus a little while, but not too long.

Can’t wait to cruise on her later this year. We’ve done Carnival and RC many times so looking forward to a different way of cruising (less kids). Thanks for the review.
