First Experience of The Retreat on Celebrity Cruises - Here's What Happened

Editorial Summary

Laura and Craig document their first experience staying in a Sky Suite with access to The Retreat on the Celebrity Beyond. They detail the various perks associated with this exclusive area, beginning with pre-cruise preference selections for pillows and wine. The creators describe the streamlined embarkation process through a dedicated lounge and the amenities found within their suite, such as the sliding bathroom mirror. Throughout their six night Caribbean sailing, they explore the culinary offerings at Lumina, the dedicated Retreat lounge, and the various breakfast options available. They also highlight the outdoor amenities, including the private sun deck, hot tubs, and the convenience of having dedicated sun loungers. The couple discusses the butler service, noting that while it provides thoughtful touches like birthday decorations, they remained largely self-sufficient. They also evaluate the benefits of the premium drinks package and the Starlink powered Wi-Fi. Ultimately, the creators conclude that the experience lived up to their expectations and justified the higher cost, leading them to book a fourteen night back to back cruise to experience the service again.
