In my opinion San Pedro is the worst embarkation/disembarkation port I have ever sailed in and/or out of. Yes, I believe it is always that way.

I believe you posted a legitimate question, I do not think you are being snarky at all. 🙂 I believe for a large percentage of the guests on a cruise ship, it would not make a significant difference who the captain is. But, for some folks that have had the privilege of becoming acquainted with some generous and friendly captains and/or crew members, it might make a difference. I know of a couple that because they knew the captain and the captain’s daughter got to share a dinner at the captain’s table with their very young son and the captain’s daughter. I know a couple that because they knew the captain were invited to be on the bridge for the trip through the archipelago entering Stockholm. I know a couple that because they knew the captain were invited to the bridge while going through the locks of the Panama Canal. I know of a couple that were treated to a marvelous multi course dinner at a specialty restaurant with the Associiate Hotel Director because they knew the Hotel Director. I could share quite a few more examples, but I hope I gave at least a few small reasons some folks might prefer being on a ship with certain crew members. 😎 Of course, because of the incident you mentioned and others, a lot of the activities have been greatly reduced.

Mr. Kwokpot, Excellent post on some of the venues/attractions/activities on Beyond. We agree with you. We think Beyond is the most beautiful ship we have sailed on. 😊

When we were on Beyond, we ate at almost all of the specialty restaurants. We loved all of them. 😊😋

If you love sea food, which I do, you will love the “Dinner on the Edge”. 😎

I completely agree about tours with Ingrid, we have gone with her five times. But, I would book with her direct. Her web site is: Bestfrenchrivieratours. (Kultours) 😊

I believe the first three numbers are 866.

Yes sir. They use both spellings. 🙂

Thanks for doing the live review. We are on a couple of cruises on Reflection after the transatlantic. So, we will be following. 😊

Love the grilled shrimp and tenderloin. 😎

This is not always the case. Sometimes you get a wonderful sommelier. 😊

Chris, If you enjoy tapas, try Ciudad Condal. It is just off of Los Ramblas. It is located at Rambla De Catalunya, 18. One of our favorites in Barcelona. 😊

Glad you are enjoying your Infinity cruise. 😎

Glad you are having a nice cruise. 👍

Jelayne, Thanks again for your reports. We loved our Beyond cruise. 😊

Jelayne, We hope you have a wonderful crossing. We were on Beyond for the September 24th cruise. We could tell there was a staff shortage. But, we had a wonderful cruise. 😎

Thanks for posting. 😎

Yes you can. But, I have no desire to do so. We try to have a day or two after the cruise in a hotel. Or, at least an afternoon flight so we can enjoy the last morning on the ship. We try to be the LAST ones off of the ship. 😎

We love both ships. So, I do not believe you would be disappointed in either. But, 10 is always better than 7. 😎

We just returned home from our Beyond cruise. The service, food, and experience was excellent. In fact, the meal we had in Fine Cut ranks as one of the best ever. 😎

We all have different opinions. I have sailed both also. 😊

Caymus is a nice wine. 😊

Wow! An excellent response. I am sure the original poster is very pleased. Thanks for posting.

Very well marbled ? 🤔

We pray you get better quickly. 😊
