Beyond Porthole Veranda Oct 20th 2023 sailing

So we are sailing on the same Beyond 10 day cruise as Charla (GenerationX) who is doing her usual amazing live blog but I thought I would also add some words of my own! We were originally booked in an oceanview on the 3rd floor but put in a moveup bid for a number of cabins. 3 expired but we were successful with the Deluxe Porthole view verandah for Β£200. It's a great cabin on deck 8, starboard aft with a real balcony which we love. However, it does have the window washing equipment to the right side so you can't really see aft very well. I wouldn't pick this cabin in the future but would happily have one of the other porthole verandah cabins! So far we have eaten our evenings meals at either one of the MDR's or the ocean view cafe. We have enjoyed all our food, even the mashed potatoes, and particularly enjoyed Cosmopolitan last night, the sommelier and waiting staff were excellent. Our favourite place to hang out and chill is on the rooftop garden, however since last year they have added a pickleball court so the afternoons aren't as peaceful as they were when we sailed last year!! But it's entertaining at times! Our favourite bar has to be the world class bar, they do some lovely cocktails and if lucky you can get a seat overlooking the martini bar. Shows have been great, we have enjoyed them all. Captain Kate is lovely, so friendly to everyone and happy to have pictures taken with the guests. Just 2 more days left of our cruise, we will be sorry to go home on Monday to a cold and wet UK!

Thanks for updating us. We board Beyond on the 20th and fortunately (or not!) I came down with covid a few days ago. Luckily, and maybe thanks to 4 vaccinations, it's been no worse than a bad cold. Hope you recover quickly and I'm looking forward to the rest of your review.

Ooh fabulous, we are doing the same itinerary in a few weeks on 20th October and were also on Beyond last September and had an amazing time! I'd also be interested to know about the ports and what you have done there. We have been to some of them before so just looking for some ideas. Look forward to the rest 9f your review. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this!! We are on 10 day Beyond in October and refused to pay Β£105 pppd π¬ Just booked the premium package at Β£1055 for the 2 of us..... the other half can now drink as many Earth drinks as he likes in Eden, I'll just stick to champagne!!!! πΉπΈπ»π·

This is for our Beyond sailing on October 20th, found this and there is also a premium package under the main dining section for the Cypress MDR, same for Cosmopolitan.
-
There are wine packages available when I look on the app under dining. Choose a restaurant and go to menus and you can see the wine list for each restaurant. Scroll to the bottom of the (long!) list and there are options to buy 3, 5 or 8 bottle packages. I assume you can only buy them onboard. Do check the wines included in the packages, am not certain there is even much of a saving when you look at the prices on the wine list. Hope this helps!!

My original query was about Raw on 5 on Beyond which is no charge to make a reservation and is a la carte pricing
-
Yes Raw on 5 is a la carte but I had seen some posts here re an all in price on some days. And yes I will have a look for the resin ship and post details back here. We sail next Thursday 15th.
-
Thanks for replies.... We join the ship next Thursday so will report back to let people know if they are offering the $35 deal
-
Hi, we are sailing on Beyond next week. Does anyone know from recent experience if they are offering the $35 all you can eat deal at Raw on 5? Many thanks!
