Creator's Key Takeaways

This might just be the most ridiculous first class suite we've ever stayed in on a cruise ship.

The balcony is blooming fabulous.

We paid $7,000. So, $1,000 per night.

The food in that restaurant is superb overall. It really is.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a long USB cord and a selection of plug sockets to charge devices, as one side of the bed lacks outlets.
Use the retreat pool area on port days or evenings for a quieter experience.
Order coffee and room service into your cabin, as there is no coffee machine in the suite.

YouTube Video Description

This might be the most ridiculous first class cabin we’ve ever stayed in. The balcony doesn’t just face the ocean, it floats over it, bolted to the side of the ship. Discover June’s Journey for FREE! Tap here to download: https://woo.ga/o3aeftwx Play on Android, iOS, and PC. We're staying in a Magic Carpet Suite, and it comes with access to the exclusive Retreat, Celebrity Cruises’ private suite only area with exclusive dining, sundecks, and service that feels very first class. Now here’s the shocker. This suite costs the kind of money that could buy you a small car, or a lot of cruises in normal cabins. So the big question is simple. Is this floating balcony suite actually worth it, or is it just cruise ship madness dressed up as luxury? We paid for it, we stayed in it, we used everything that comes with it, and in this video we’re breaking down the good, the bad, and the “who thought this was a good idea?” moments. If you’ve ever wondered what the most extreme luxury suite on a cruise ship is really like, or if you’re curious whether The Retreat experience lives up to the hype, you’re going to want to see this.
