This lovely cruise will fulfill our dreams of the Caribbean. We’ll fly into Ft. Lauderdale then board the 3260-passenger, revolutionary Edge® Series, Celebrity Beyondâ„ . With stops in St. Maarten, St. Lucia, Barbados, St. Johns, and St. Kitts, plus 4 days of gorgeous sailing, this is the warm weather, blue water cruise we’ve been dreaming of.
DAY 1
We depart Albuquerque on our flight to Ft. Lauderdale. The Celebrity Beyond leaves port and we begin our cruise. Today we sail in waters off the coast of Florida. Perhaps we’ll start our vacation with a massage in the spa or lounge by the pool.

Our second stop is in Castries, St. Lucia. Castries is the capital of the island nation of St. Lucia, in the Caribbean Sea.

The Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, with its colorful murals, sits by leafy Derek Walcott Square park. Lively Castries Market is nearby. In the south, Morne Fortune hill offers views of the city.
