January 9, 2027
Christening in Miami, with an onboard performance by Zac Brown before the first departure.
01
Beachcomber after dark, in 30 seconds
New shows, a new music room, a pool area four levels tall.
Three original production shows were written for her, plus an adults-only late edition of one of them — all in the fare.
Same Boat is the headline, a live-music room designed with Zac Brown — he christens the ship as her godfather, not as the house band.
Eleven bars, a four-level pool area aft, a waterslide and three kids’ clubs up to age 12. Teens get ship-wide programming, not a club.
There’s no score until she’s carried guests, so what follows is what the line has announced, not what anyone has seen.

Where the shows play
The deck plan names the theater Stars on the Water, but its deck, seat count and show run times aren’t published. The line says more activities “will be announced soon.”

03
Same Boat, and what Zac Brown’s name means
A venue Zac Brown helped design, played by rotating artists, not by him.
The line calls Same Boat Beachcomber’s “marquee live music destination.” Zac Brown helped design it: a handcrafted stage, a bar built like a fishing boat, booths, and a dock stage for dancing.
The music comes from rotating artists. The line’s Same Boat page names six for early 2027 — Kevin MaC, Jessica Rose, Jacob Rice, Ben Chase, Anthony Billups and Breanna Faith — with sailing dates from January 9 through May 1.
Zac Brown himself has two dates. He performs onboard before the inaugural departure on January 9, 2027, as the ship’s godfather. His band plays Nassau on January 28, 2027, for guests of all three ships. Neither is a regular-sailing perk.
January 28, 2027
Zac Brown Band at the Nassau Cruise Port Amphitheatre, for guests of the three ships in port — Beachcomber’s sailing is the 7-night 3-Ship Meet-Up from Miami.
Every other sailing
Same Boat’s rotating artists, in a room whose deck, capacity, age rule and any cover charge haven’t been published.
04
Eleven bars and lounges
Four outdoor bars and seven lounges, as the line lists them. Filter for the mood you’re in.
Daiquiri Shack
Eight rotating frozen flavors, or build your own.
The Front Yard
Spritzes and aperitifs, with outdoor screens and mini golf alongside.
5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar
The signature bar at the four-level aft pool area.
License to Chill Bar
Pool-deck bar beside the License to Chill Pool and its Six String Stage.
Same Boat
The marquee live-music room, designed with Zac Brown — its deck, capacity, hours, age rule and any cover charge aren’t published.
Cowboy in the Jungle
A hidden speakeasy pouring rum and agave — first come, first served.
Polynesian Lounge
Tiki drinks with live music and rotating entertainment, with the tattoo studio next door.
LandShark Sports Bar
The ship’s sports bar.
Lah De Dah Juice Bar
Alcohol-free, and the line places it “between the Teen Club and the spa” — odd, since Beachcomber has no teen club.
Flip Flop Bar
Live music all day in the Flip Flop Atrium, just below the shopping promenade.
Hemisphere Dancer Craft Spirits
Craft spirits “below deck,” a name carried over from the fleetmates.
Also on the deck plan
Hot Hot Hot Nightclub, the Margaritaville Casino and the Six String Stage appear on the deck plan; the nightclub isn’t on the bars page. The line’s bar count wobbles too — the page lists 11, its description says seven, and a January 2026 release counts eight new ones, including Floridays.
05
Pools, the slide and things to do
Two pool areas, one slide with two names, and a sports zone.
5 o’Clock Somewhere
Aft on the upper decks under a giant lime: about 50 feet tall across four levels, which the line bills as the world’s largest. It has adults-only cabanas with bar service, and JWB is next door.
License to Chill Pool
Waterslide, whirlpools, private cabanas and the Six String Stage for live music.
The slide
The ship page calls it the Tropical Twist Waterslide and the deck plan says Tropical Twister — same slide, two names. Height and age rules aren’t published.
Dis ’N Dat Activity Zone
Sports court with cornhole, basketball, mini soccer and pickleball, plus mini golf.
Caribbean Amphibian Playground
An all-ages play zone, announced in the April 2026 family release.
Spa, gym and tattoos
St. Somewhere Spa & Salon with ocean-view rooms; Fins Up! Fitness Center, billed as the fleet’s largest; an expanded Permanent Reminder Tattoo Studio.
Indoors
Fin City Arcade, Heroes Hall, an art gallery and the Margaritaville Casino (18+), all on the deck plan.
Cabanas
Adults-only at 5 o’Clock Somewhere and private ones at License to Chill, but Beachcomber cabana prices aren’t posted — Paradise’s don’t carry over.
06
Plan your night
Four sample evenings built only from announced venues, with illustrative times — real showtimes come in the daily schedule.
5:30
Early dinner in the main dining room
Eat first so the kids make the show.
7:30
Club Fuego
The line bills it as all-ages but hasn’t given age guidance for the other two, and showtimes appear in the daily schedule onboard.
9:00
Mini golf or the sports court
Dis ’N Dat has cornhole, basketball, mini soccer and pickleball.
Later
Kids’ club or Flip Flop Bar
Club hours aren’t published yet. If your child’s club runs late, that’s your window for Flip Flop Bar’s live music or a Daiquiri Shack frozen drink.
Sunset
The Front Yard or 5 o’Clock Somewhere
A spritz or a frozen drink outdoors.
8:00
Red, White & Margaritaville
The rock-band show, with reserved seats for Ultimate License to Chill holders.
9:45
Same Boat
Live music from whichever artist is aboard. The line posts its lineup by sailing date.
Late
Fuego After Dark, then Cowboy in the Jungle
The adults-only Fuego edition, then the speakeasy, which takes no reservations — arrive early.
Morning
Fitness center or the spa
The line bills Fins Up! as the fleet’s largest fitness center. Spa treatments cost extra, so book early on a sea day.
Midday
License to Chill Pool and the slide
Six String Stage music by the pool, though height and age rules for the slide haven’t been published.
Afternoon
5 o’Clock Somewhere
Four levels of pool deck aft, with adults-only cabanas.
Evening
A show you haven’t seen
Each production runs more than once per sailing, so a sea day is the easy catch-up.
Morning
Fin City Arcade or Heroes Hall
Both are on the deck plan, though arcade pricing isn’t published.
Lunch
High Tide Market
Included, no reservation needed.
Afternoon
Casino (18+), art gallery or the tattoo studio
Permanent Reminder Tattoo Studio has been expanded for Beachcomber.
Evening
Polynesian Lounge, then a show
Live music indoors, then the theater.
07
Kids, tweens and teens
Three clubs cover ages 3 to 12. Thirteen to seventeen is programming, not a room.
| Club | Ages (fleet kids page) | Ages (April 2026 release) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jolly Mon Kid’s Club | 3–6 | 3–5 | Indoor pirate-ship playground. The two sources disagree on the top age. |
| Parakeets Kid’s Club | 6–9 | 6–9 | — |
| The Hangout Tween’s Club | 10–12 | 10–12 | Gaming, ping pong, after-dark socials |
| Teens 13–17 | No club on Beachcomber | “Dedicated programming hosted across the ship” | Paradise and Islander both have a teen club |
Club activities are included, per the line’s FAQ, though it notes some kids’ club charges are billed as extras. After-hours childcare is mentioned with no price or hours.
Families with teens should weigh the missing club — Islander has one, and so does Paradise.
A small contradiction
The Lah De Dah Juice Bar is described as sitting “between the Teen Club and the spa.” The kids’ club page lists no teen club for Beachcomber, and we’re going with that page until the line says otherwise.

What’s in the fare
Shows, pools and clubs are included — the spa, casino, cabanas and drinks are not.

09
Is the Ultimate License to Chill worth it?
It only pays if you’d drink to the package every day — everything else is a credit you have to spend.
Beachcomber Ultimate License to Chill, from $799 per person plus a mandatory 20% — $958.80 at the lowest price (our arithmetic). It bundles the drink package, one JWB dinner, one brunch, three $25 restaurant credits, a $200 spa credit, a shore-excursion credit, Premium Wi-Fi for one device, express check-in, priority luggage and reserved seating at the production shows. Guests 21 and up.
The plain License to Chill, from $599 plus 20%, drops the restaurant credits, cuts the spa credit to $150, and has no shore credit or reserved seats.
Ultimate License to Chill vs. buying each piece
Set the nights to your sailing and untick anything you wouldn’t use. Both the bundle and the drink package are “from” prices that rise with sailing length, so check your quote.

Beachcomber entertainment questions
Does Beachcomber have an entertainment score?
Not yet. Seabound scores entertainment once a ship is carrying guests. Beachcomber's first sailing is in January 2027, so this page covers what the line has announced.
What shows are on Margaritaville at Sea Beachcomber?
Three original production shows in the Stars on the Water Theater: Friday Night Country, Red, White & Margaritaville, and Club Fuego. Club Fuego also has an adults-only after-hours edition called Fuego After Dark. Each show runs multiple times per sailing.
Are Beachcomber's shows included in the fare?
Yes. The line's FAQ lists production shows as included. Reserved seating is the extra, and it comes with the Ultimate License to Chill package.
Does Zac Brown perform on Beachcomber?
Not as a regular act. Zac Brown, the ship's godfather, performs onboard before the inaugural departure on January 9, 2027, and the Zac Brown Band plays Nassau on January 28, 2027, for guests of the three-ship gathering. Same Boat, the venue he helped design, features rotating artists.
What is Same Boat on Beachcomber?
Beachcomber's main live-music venue, designed with Zac Brown, with a handcrafted stage, a fishing-boat-style bar, booths and a dock stage for dancing. The line has named artists for sailings from January to May 2027. Its deck, capacity, hours, age rule and any cover charge are not published.
How many bars are on Beachcomber?
The bars page lists 11: Daiquiri Shack, The Front Yard, 5 o'Clock Somewhere Bar, License to Chill Bar, Same Boat, Cowboy in the Jungle, Polynesian Lounge, LandShark Sports Bar, Lah De Dah Juice Bar, Flip Flop Bar and Hemisphere Dancer Craft Spirits. The deck plan also shows Hot Hot Hot Nightclub.
Is there a teen club on Beachcomber?
No. Beachcomber has Jolly Mon, Parakeets and The Hangout for ages 3 to 12. Teens 13 to 17 get dedicated programming hosted across the ship rather than a club room.
Does Beachcomber have a waterslide?
Yes, at the License to Chill Pool. The ship page calls it the Tropical Twist Waterslide and the deck plan calls it Tropical Twister. Height and age rules have not been published.
What is 5 o'Clock Somewhere on Beachcomber?
The aft pool area on the upper decks, about 50 feet tall across four levels under a giant lime, which the line calls the world's largest 5 o'Clock Somewhere. It has adults-only cabanas with bar service and sits beside JWB Prime Steakhouse.
What does the Beachcomber Ultimate License to Chill include?
From $799 per person plus a mandatory 20% service charge: the Ultimate Beverage Chill drink package, one JWB dinner, one Sparkling Brunch, three $25 credits at Far Side Sushi, Floridays and F&L Trattoria, a $200 spa credit, a $100 to $300 shore-excursion credit by trip length, Premium Wi-Fi for one device and reserved production-show seating. Guests 21 and up.
