Stem to Stern

Select items on a flash sale on my Beyond September 2024 sailing. I only took note of a few things. Some excursions are 35% off. Eden 20%. Normal negligible pre-sailing discounts on many items.

I also took note of the fact that in this email from Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean is mentioned in the description of Coco Cay. They are obviously not marketing to me as I cruise with my husband not my girlfriends. I also cruise Celebrity because it is NOT Royal Caribbean.

Child's portion again? Did they at least tell you there was more in the oven?

I always had a soft spot in my heart for their Chicken N Dumplings. My mom loves the fried shrimp.

You may have been served the child's portion by mistake?

Chef's Table menu looks incredible!

Hey Kelly! I hope all is well with you and your family. Hopefully you are all enjoying your summer. Sorry, but I am dredging up your Live report, so I can read through it again and take better notes. We booked our first Edge-class cruise on Beyond. We are heading back to the ABCs with friends we actually met on the same cruise we were on with you back in 2021. With Beyond's redeployment to the Caribbean maybe other Beyond newbies who might have missed out on this report can find a few useful tips. Take care, Paul

Belated Bon Voyage! Enjoying your posts and pics.

We are sailing in the Yacht Club and The Retreat B2B in December. I will be comparing MSC with butler service vs. Celebrity without. Not a chance I would be cancelling because of this change. This may be my final affordable chance to sail in The Retreat.🥲

Yikes. This can’t be good. Too bad about the selection in the shops. Maybe I will come across a John Hardy I can use my OBC on. Do you have enough peanut butter to get you by in a pinch?🤣🤣

Loving all of these posts. Great anecdotes. 🤩 With all of your cruise hacks, I wonder if we will find you on a world cruise sometime in the future?

Would mind terribly asking which iPad models are currently for sale on board? Love the cruise-y white pants and coordinating headband and shoes.

Us too.

Another plus besides the price is the fact that you will be able to maintain the air conditioning in your stateroom. In Europe you will likely not spend a huge amount of time in your stateroom anyway, so the view below of a lifeboat shouldn't be a huge issue.

If I am looking to book an SV on E-class with as much shade as possible, which deck would provide have the deepest overhang above it?

Thank you so much for answering my question. Your photos are absolutely incredible. What awesome shots you are getting with the clear skies.

Best wishes for a fantastic trip. We have sailed in 1130 and 1138 on M-class ships. Love love love those staterooms. Hmmmm. It looks like if we ever get to Alaska ORD might be the way to go. One way flights RSW to ORD and ORD to ANC look like they could be somewhat reasonable. We could even spend a couple extra nights in Chicago along the way. What made you decide to do the land portion first? I forget what the consensus is on this, but I would think the land segment might be more rigorous. The cruise might offer the opportunity to unwind a bit from that? I enjoyed your last report and look forward to this one.

It is always nice to have options. Less than 2 hours to Port Everglades. Just over 2 to ports in Miami and Tampa. 3.5 to Port Canaveral.

Happy Birthday Robert! Really enjoying your report, Anthony.

Hi Beth. I am really enjoying your report so far. I have sailed on Summit twice. Aren't the aft aqua staterooms fabulous? My husband and I will be returning to Summit again later this year. I am loving all of the drink recommendations from everyone as well as the shout-outs to the many stellar crew members. If you happen to be passing by the shops, would mind inquiring about which iPad models are currently in stock on board and maybe a couple prices? I don't need the latest and greatest, but I should really try to replace the now-ancient model I am currently using which I selected onboard a Celebrity ship back in 2016. Isn't it great not have to get on an airplane to go on a cruise? Enjoy the rest of cruise. Paul

Charles In Charge 👍

This Charles sounds like a keeper. A butler after my own heart.❤️

@kwokpot Loving your pics and your entire report!! 🤩
