This was so helpful. I am going on this exact cruise next month. This was exactly the information I was looking for.

You absolutely nailed it in your final comments about these three day cruises. At the end of May I did a back to back on Reflection that included a three day, 5/24-27, and a four day, 5/27-31. On the three day we went to Bimini Beach club and Hideaway Beach. On the four day we went to Hideaway Beach and Key West. Because I generally only sail Celebrity, this was a bit of an unusual experience for me. I definitely now completely understand the definition of a booze cruise. Especially the first three night cruise. A much younger crowd, many children, and I was grateful for the two ports because these areas were much more enjoyable than actually being on the ship. It was just so busy at the pool and at the bars. I found the four day cruise to be a bit more toned down. Although still very busy and quite lively, I felt a little more relaxed and we actually stayed on the ship when it docked in Hideaway Beach and had the place to ourselves. And Key West is always a great port. We had the unlimited dining package on the four day leg so we definitely took advantage of that because I thought the food in the main dining room was not quite up to the Celebrity standard in my opinion. (We dined there two of the nights on the first leg; just had to squeeze in Murano though. I never skip that one. Did it twice during the seven day cruise.) We actually went to only a couple shows, one of them was Broken Strings, and the other one was Captain Kirk doing a rock ‘n’ roll show that was fantastic. I absolutely loved that one. Sorry you didn’t get a chance to see it. But because we were traveling with a small group, we really enjoyed every minute. We figured out how to avoid the crowds and found the bars that weren’t as crowded, and took advantage of spots that weren’t always occupied. The pool was extremely busy but the solarium was nice on port days. Enjoy your Cruise on Beyond to the ABC Islands. I did that last year on Equinox and it was a favorite of mine. My next cruise is going to be my first adventure on Royal Caribbean. I’m trying Symphony of the Seas and we will see how that goes. (Out of New York.) Something completely different for me. Love your reviews.❤ Sorry for the long reply! I basically I agreed with everything you said. 😇

Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed, AND, agreed! Symphony is my favorite of the oasis class ships! It’s beautiful, and lots of very cool art! Don’t miss the shows, and be sure to book them in advance. While the food isn’t as good as celebrity, the entertainment and shows simply can’t be matched! You’ll have big crowds but ultimately I think you’ll enjoy symphony!

Well, we did book the unlimited dining package and are definitely planning on trying all the specialty restaurants so I think that will help out. I am kind of excited to try this huge ship.🤣

@@pamelabrauer9450 I honestly love the oasis class! They’re massive, and beautiful as well. Just a lot of people, BUT they are spread out really well. Good call on the dining package. Wonderland is a lot of fun! Just don’t miss the shows! Flight and hairspray were really good. Aqua show is always incredible, and the ice show has great technology as well.

@@pamelabrauer9450 if you’re going to a port you’ve already been to, stay on the ship and enjoy it. There’s far more to do on a Royal ship than celebrity, so don’t try and do everything or you’ll be exhausted. Just pick some of the things you want to do most and do them. Don’t try and do EVERYTHING!

Thank you for a very thorough review. I was wondering if spending the extra $$ for Hideaway Beach was worth it. I will be booking that on my upcoming cruise.

I actually really enjoyed it. I think I paid about $30 and it was well worth it. It’s definitely a nice upgrade from the main pool area, but not “quite” as upgraded as the beach club. You’ll definitely enjoy it. The food is pretty good, the pool is very large, easy beach access, and great views!
