We didn't particularly care for the pizza on the Ascent. For comparison we prefer the pizza on MSC, Carnival, and Virgin as far as cruiseship pizza goes.

As good as my local go to, no, but they have no view of the wake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH content-wise they're all quite similar (familiar pop culture songs, acrobatics, dance sequences, aerial acts) so it's HOW you put together various acts for a show that will determine how well it's received. On the Beyond, we were told on the backstage tour that each performer in the main theater shows must be an accomplished singer and dancer. This could have made the difference as the shows in Beyond was over the top! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on this cruise, but will chime in (hope you don't mind, hcat). If you enjoy snorkelling, I would recommend Brewer's Bay. We went there in June when sailing the Equinox and it was a lovely, almost uninhabited beach with good snorkelling. Somewhat out of the way and just one rustic restaurant/bar there. I think there were only about 20 people on the whole beach there the day we went. Of course, if you don't want beach/snorkelling, please ignore my comment lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're thinking of going there. My hubby seems to recall $60 round trip? We saw two young women trying to hire a cab but the driver did not want to take them because it is a bit of a distance to take only two people out. Another cabbie saw this exchange and offered to take us three and the two ladies together which made the cost much more reasonable, so be prepared if only two of you going........a bit pricey. Plus he was being tipped by five people! A bit of an aside.....some other folks from our group joined us at Brewer's Bay later. One of the gentleman had just been to a private wedding on St. Barts and said this beach reminded him very much of St. Barts which I thought was kind of cool since that island is rather exclusive (well, exclusive for people like me who cannot afford to go there, lol) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really raved about the service and food at Eden. Outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted February 2 Author #93 Share Posted February 2 falling behind..sorry..lots of wasted time with Reg internet... Food in Blu continues to excel!

Rare hcat Posted February 2 Author #94 Share Posted February 2 Tortola was a nice day for us..We have been there so many times..and love the people! Took a break from the beach.. We shopped for our family and friends. small stores but nice! Perfume store prices were double so we passed on it. Went to the new Cigar Bar Aromas..at end of the walk.. nice views..steep climb.
