Creator's Key Takeaways

I paid north of seven thousand dollars for this Cruise experience and on-day cruise in the retreat with celebrities

they're getting rid of butlers if you're staying in a sky Suite or an aqua Sky Suite you'll no longer have a butler

this is no service failure this is just a change she said to make service more efficient

I'm going to be brutally honest I'm always honest with what I'll show on my channel

YouTube Video Description

Celebrity Cruises has just made a MAJOR change to services for its suite guests staying in The Retreat. Butler service has always been a staple of The Retreat experience on Celebrity Cruise ships, but after this big change to service, butler service will no longer be provided to all guests staying in suites. Celebrity Cruises has recently made a number of BIG changes onboard their cruise ships that will impact your 2023 cruises and cost you more money overall. Price increases for sailings, the removal of Always Included, drink package cost increases, and food availability have all been changes recently implemented by the cruise line. Celebrity Cruises is one of the top cruise lines in the United States with 3 of their new ships, Celebrity Edge, Celebrity Apex, and Celebrity Beyond, being regarded as some of the best cruise ships in the world. For help booking your next trip with my official travel partner: http://travelwithzach.com/ Will these changes that Celebrity Cruises is implementing cause you to change how often you take a Celebrity cruise? Celebrity Cruises is not the only cruise line to make changes recently, as we know from the latest cruise news. Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, MSC, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Virgin Voyages have all made changes recently that cost the consumer more to travel on their ships. This is most likely due to the rising cost of supplies (such as food and alcohol) and operations in the wake of the pandemic. Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE for more cruise ship and solo cruise videos.
