We've sailed the Beyond and The Seascape's sister, the Seashore. The Seashore was in the YC, and the Beyond just a regular balcony cabin. The YC offers a great value for what you get, especially the service. The Beyond is by far our favorite ship after 25 cruises. The entertainment was fantastic, and the food very good, including the buffet. You can also get a late night snack. We're booked on the new Ascent, again in a regular balcony, and on the Seascape in t6he YC. I would never sail MSCX outside the YC again. To me it's on a level with Carnival. Much too crowded.
