Review summary

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The buffet was ideal for a breakfast with variety. Their food quality was excellent. Though I do love their Indian foods, because we were in a suite, we ate lunch and dinner in Luminae.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Plenty to do. The gym could have been larger but there’s enough modern equipment to get through what you need to work.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

They’re everywhere. Most bars feature some entertainment. Dj’s are experienced to keep you “in the mood”.

Children's Programs

I sold my children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone in the Retreat was over-the-top assuring my complete satisfaction, daily.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Beyond is nearly brand new. She is a luxurious ship, clean, and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This room is located starboard aft, near the elevator bank. It was conveniently located, quiet, spacious, and felt like home.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

4 out of 5

I got a massage at the hotel to start my vacation!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

It’s quite a tourist spot until you leave the port and walk into the city, or take a taxi. Get away from the boring corporate spots (Margaritaville, Señor Frogs) and enjoy real Mexico in a local establishment.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5

Still quite touristy but it’s the financial capital of the Caribbean. There’s loads of shopping with food and bars galore. It’s also the best island to purchase authentic Cuban Cigars.

I agree with you. Beyond is fantastic! The shows are 5 stars & the ship is impeccable. We were on her Nov '22 & Nov '23 with an eastern itinerary and then a southern. Both times in a Magic carpet sky suite we do that because the balcony is much wider. We loved our experience. You want for nothing with the Retreat experience! Luminae is wonderful as well. We also did Edge in Sep '21 in a sky suite. We have done Royal Oasis Class ships in suites, but if you can afford it, hands down Celebrity suites (Retreat) does it better! Glad you enjoyed.😊
