The Retreat experience is worth every penny! This cruise was just what I needed to unwind. Many thanks to the wonderful staff and crew.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Embarkation was a great experience. Luggage drop off was efficient with friendly service from the port staff. I was then directed to the Retreat check-in area. After a few minutes, I was escorted directly through the terminal and to security. A quick document check was also completed. Then on to the small lounge area with refreshments. We were then greeted by our Retreat host Lyle and escorted to the ship and the lounge. Waiters were passing around champagne and mimosas as we entered the room. Such a lovely way to start the cruise. After some further introductions by Lyle and the Retreat staff, we were free to explore the ship. Lunch was available in Luminae from 1130-1330. The safety briefing was easily completed via the Celebrity app and check-in at your muster station.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The food on Celebrity is consistently excellent and my experience in Luminae did not disappoint. I was well taken care of by the staff during my cruise. The dining room is lovely and never feels overcrowded. Many thanks to Putu for making my voyage so special. The food in the retreat lounge and sundeck was great also. Cafe Al Bacio and the gelato place are favorites too. I didn’t go to the buffet or any of the other specialty restaurants.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Cabin 6145 was excellent as usual. Plenty of storage, a huge bathroom with a separate shower and tub, and a fantastic veranda with two lounge chairs, a small table and chairs, and a small couch. I had one minor issue that was promptly resolved by the staff. The lights on the right side of the cabin were not working.
Disembarkation was efficient and well managed. I had a lovely breakfast in Luminae and then I relaxed in the Retreat lounge until I was called for my transfer to the airport. Lyle escorted us to the ship gangway for departure. Port staff then escorted us to our baggage claim area. My transfer to the airport was right out in front of the terminal.
