Creator's Key Takeaways
I spent six nights on a Sky Suite in the Celebrity Retreat on the Celebrity Beyond, and Ship Critic's only rated a 3.6 star experience.
The private boarding lounge experience, it really earns us keep within the first 5 minutes.
The room even has one of those adjoining nanny suite options. Two doors, one hallway, so parents can claim privacy while kids crash in their own micro kingdom.
Lumina, it really just isn't just a quiet alternative to the buffet. It's proof that included dining can flirt with Michelin star quality if you book the right cabin.
