Editorial Summary

The creators provide a comprehensive review of The Retreat, the high-end resort within a resort concept on the Celebrity Beyond. They evaluate whether the premium cost of suite class is justified by examining the expanded amenities, including the redesigned sun decks and lounge areas. The review covers various suite tiers, from Sky Suites to the exclusive Edge Villas, noting that all suites include butler service. The creators detail the outdoor spaces, highlighting the two-level sun deck designed by Kelly Hoppen, while noting minor practical issues such as a lack of shade in certain areas and the height of hanging pool chairs. They also explore the indoor Retreat Lounge and the dedicated concierge service. A significant portion of the review focuses on exclusive dining, comparing the Blue restaurant, which serves Aqua Class and suite guests, with Luminae, which is reserved solely for suite guests. After testing various breakfast, lunch, and dinner options, the creators conclude that the upscale service and specialized amenities make The Retreat a worthwhile investment for those seeking luxury on a large ship.
