We were on the Beyond in November.  We had lunch at Eden Cafe and were not charged anything extra.  I didn't take a picure of the menu.  Sorry!  Everything we had was very good, though!  I wish we had tried it sooner in the sailing or we would have been back more often!

We did walk out on our own, but after doing so, I’m not sure that if we went back again, we wouldn’t just set up an independent tour or book with NCL directly. The beaches we walked by had a lot of trash and weren’t set up for visitors. I had been looking to go over to Sousa Beach with Marisol Tours, but since it was Easter, we weren’t able to book with them. If we return on another cruise, we will likely do that.

 

If you want to walk around and explore the area, we felt mostly fine in our group. However, sidewalks with not always available. We walked to the ink street and umbrella street, and over to the fort on the opposite side of the ship.

 

I hope that helps!

 

Thanks!  That does help.  I had read that Sousa Beach was great so I guess I just need to look for a private excursion and I'll look into the company you mentioned.  We don't go until November so I have what seems like forever to look into it more!  😄

Thank you! I appreciate any feedback. It would be nice to walk but we understand we may need to take a cab, too.

I was hoping to find a walkable beach for just relaxing and snorkeling as well.

We have been to the island once and did an island tour.  We love snorkeling so have decided that we'd like to do an excursion that has that included.  Celebrity lists 2 available:  Ultimate Beach and Snorkel Adventure, which says it goes to Simpson Bay Lagoon and A Golden Eagle Sailaway, which does not say where it goes.

Has anyone done either of these recently and did you like it?  I've tried searching the forum but am not finding too much recent information.  Thanks!

I just booked for this year's cruise! I'm kind of concerned about the crowds but still think it will be fun! I'm not going on with the expectation of interacting with the guys outside of the 5 seconds for the group photo so I won't be disappointed! It will be fun to just be with my girlfriends and other BH sisters for a band we love!

On the Cosol tour you do go to the beach and have time to snorkel.....between the Pitons. I emailed him with a few questions and he emailed me back within hours with way more detail than I asked for! If you have specific questions, just email him. He was very nice! We booked his tour for when we are there!

Carole~I wouldn't worry about those that don't like you posting opposing views! It's not like you are bashing them.....you are just stating why you didn't like the tour. I think that only helps us make our decision. So thank you for your point of view! :)

On the Cosol tour is there time to snorkel?
