Creator's Key Takeaways

I have been fortunate enough to sell in The Retreat on an edge class ship once and that was on Celebrity Edge down in Australia

I'm going to say hands down that it's Norwegian Cruise Line because Norwegian Cruise Line includes a lot for the price of your your cruise

MSC is the only cruise line that I've sold on yet that I said I would never go on again

Celebrity is my favorite and but I always want to caution me saying that celebrity is my favorite with it's very subjective

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a minimum stateroom and use the move up bid process to get into The Retreat at a cheaper price
Check out Norwegian Cruise Line for the best package deals and solo cruiser rates
If upgrading on Celebrity, consider Aqua class for Blue restaurant access instead of Concierge class
Look at Celebrity's Solstice class ships for budget-friendly cruises, especially short Caribbean cruises in winter
