I embark on my $8,000 cruise in The Retreat with Celebrity Cruises onboard the Celebrity Reflection. But is it worth the HIGH price tag? The Retreat is Celebrity Cruises' suites and features exclusive access to a Retreat lounge and Luminae, which is dining only for those guests staying there. Shop my official merchandise: https://zachthetravelingman.myspreadshop.com/ This 9-day Mediterranean cruise on Celebrity Reflection departed Barcelona to visit the ports of call of Marseilles, Villefranche (Nice), Pisa/Florence (Livorno), Genoa, Sicily, Naples, and Rome. Celebrity Reflection is currently the fourth oldest ship in the Celebrity Cruises fleet of ships, debuting back in 2012. The Retreat on Celebrity Reflection features entry-level Sky Suites, Celebrity Suites, Royal Suites, and many more classes of suite staterooms. My room onboard Celebrity Reflection in the Retreat was a Sky Suite and I paid nearly $8,000 for this room for a solo cruiser.
