Your experience with Retreat is so similar to mine. The sundeck was the best part. I was lucky enough to be in it one time when you did have butler, and a second time when I didn't. Huge difference. At this point, unless the price isn't that different, Retreat isn't worth it. The sundeck and the rooms are an improvement, but that's it, in my opinion.

Thanks for commenting! I feel like I missed out on the best era of The Retreat. Disappointing. Oh well.

The Butlers are back now even for sky suites.

They are around but only when you call them!

Great review! Your critique of the Luminae food was dead on. Also, like you said, the prices for future cruises have skyrocketed, making me think twice about this cruise line. Thanks for the video!

agree with luminae

Good review-most honest I’ve seen. So would you say the Haven is a better deal? Oddly, the only reason I wanted to get a Sky suite is for the balcony-those infinite balconies do not appeal to me. However, $10,000 for a cruise is insane.

Based on my past experience sailing NCL The Haven compared to my recent Celebrity The Retreat, I'd say that The Haven provided better personalized service, food, inclusivity and overall luxury experience for the price. Of course butlers are now back on Sky Suites and perhaps that would change my opinion a tad but I'm not booking The Retreat again anytime soon. As far as it being a better deal, I'd say it's about the same costs but it varies between ships and itineraries, worth comparing and looking into. The Retreat does a great job including a premium beverage package and Wi-Fi into their rates while The Haven does not.

I couldn’t agree more with your video. Stayed in the edge villa last year and wanted to book again with our children but the prices have skyrocketed. I’m having a very hard time trying to justify the new pricing. Thx for the video I’m glad to know it’s not just me who thinks the price isn’t justified

[@danielc45]

Absolutely agreed! Luminae doesn't really serve great food, just great service. We are finished with Celebrity! They are way overpriced for all future cruises like 30% more even on the Solstice class ships.

Retreat doesn't compare to Royal suites on Wonder.
