    Always brush up on my Duolingo before we go to Mexico. I feel accomplished that I can converse in 3 word sentences! We LOVED Beyond and the food and service. Can't wait for your review.

    I keep trying Decoy but I just don't like it. Very disappointed in the price of Caymus.

    Yes, 3 days before our Celebrity cruise last week it was rejected and on NCL last year we were actually at dinner and unpacked when I got the email that my bid was rejected. Unbelievable, the ship had already sailed!

    I bid, it just said they had until 2 days before the cruise to accept or reject my bid. I bid from a balcony room on Diamond Princess to a Mini Suite for $80pp and it said it was a strong bid and also the Club Mini Suite for $255pp and it said it was a good bid.

    And they offered Caymus by the glass on Beyond last week. $40 glass or $225 bottle. Hard pass. Poor wine selections onboard IMHO. Kendall Jackson in particular. Laughable.

    I just got my upgrade invitation this morning. Our cruise is 84 days out.

    Hi Beth, We just got off Beyond Sunday and we wanted Eden for later and all week the only times they could give us was 5:30, so you might get lucky. Have a great cruise!

    Reporting back on the Seafood Extravaganza Buffet as seen on Ascent. Beyond did not have this. They did have shrimp and people were lined up 20 deep like they have never seen shrimp before.
  9. depplep
    You mentioned in a webinar that you were looking at making more upgraded wines available on your ships as well as offering them by the glass and you used Caymus as an example. What is the current staus of that implementation?
  10. depplep
    I will check it out and report what I find. I'm not wasting my time on a shrimp buffet The video posted on another live review recently in the Med on Ascent was every seafood imaginable including paella.

    We are on Beyond this Saturday. Did they have the seafood buffet that I have seen reported on Ascent on the last day?
  12. depplep
    Does anyone know if this seafood buffet is unique to Ascent? We're on the Beyond this Saturday.

    Thank you, I appreciate the feedback.

    Thank you SO MUCH! I thought I had read somewhere that Santa Fe was reserved for suites? I wanted to eat in there as I like the look of that restaurant. And yes, October 2024.

    Thank you, I'm a little nervous as this ship doesn't seem to have a lot of the "extras" that some ships we have been on. But we've also never been to Australia, so I don't see us hanging out on the ship much.
  16. depplep
    We never go to the buffet but this is worth a look! Thank you for the amazing video, above and beyond!

    We are on Diamond Princess in October and this is our first Princess cruise. Can we book traditional dining but also use Anytime if we choose? We have one or two excursions that wouldn't get us back at dinner time and we might need the flexibility.

    I need you to do a "Live" on a river cruise. This is on my wishlist but can't get the hubs talked into it

    @Norwaylady, I was just wondering if you have done the Western Med cruise? And might I say, I have never seen anyone that loves ice cream the way you and the Mr. do. I tell my husband every night, if I know nothing else, I know there will be ice cream!
  20. depplep
    WOW! I am excited to follow along with you. I wish Greece were so close to us to travel to regularly. Your reports are always enjoyable to read and your photos and videos are fantastic.
  21. depplep
    Loved the review and can't wait for your next cruise. Did you say you were doing Azamara this year?
  22. depplep
    Love your home remodel! Happy Birthday and enjoying your trip report. I keep telling my Mr. we need to go back to Greece and I show him your pictures every trip but he keeps saying, we've been there, we need to go to places we haven't been before. ☹️ Meanwhile, I'm going on an ABC cruise in two weeks and we've been there before!!!! Have a great trip!

    I can report that it feels 105 here as well with humidity in the 90's in the mornings.
  24. depplep
    Thanks for the response. I wondered about that demographic as well since it's the Presidents cruise.

    @abbydancer2003 are there a lot of kids on this sailing? Also, have you noticed the deck chairs all reserved at an early hour?
