For suite guests aboard a
Celebrity Cruise Line ship, the
Retreat offers a vacation experience that rivals any high-end resort.
The exclusivity of the Retreat experience becomes apparent as
soon as you arrive at the cruise terminal.There is a reserved pre-boarding
area for expedited, escorted service onto the ship, and a personal butler
waiting for you to do your unpacking. But if you’d rather not have a stranger
going through your suitcase, no worries, that’s not all your butler does. He
can arrange to have dinner delivered to your suite, will expertly serve it,
course by course, and even prepare a complimentary espresso or cappuccino. Now
that I like! I’ll have mine on the balcony, please.
And speaking of food, I know it’s hard to imagine the dining
experience aboard a Celebrity ship could get any better than what it is.
However, at Luminae, the restaurant exclusive for guests of The Retreat, you’ll
find cuisine not offered anywhere else onboard. That’s not surprising
considering that menus have been expertly crafted by a Michelin-starred chef!
For me personally, the real draw of the Retreat concept is the
Retreat Sundeck. I am so done withscouting out scarce lounge chairs every morning! The Retreat Sundeck is private
outdoor deck featuring a pool and hot tubs, swinging chairs, cool, shaded
spaces, and dedicated attendants who are at your service for everything from
fresh pool towels to freshly made cocktails.
Close by, the exclusive Retreat Lounge offers complimentary
beverages and delectable bites. The Lounge is available 24/7 and is a lovely
area to unwind and meet friends. There’s even a dedicated concierge who will be
happy to make any reservations and arrangements you might want either on board
ship or in port.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that all Celebrity
guests can expect an included drink package, Wi-Fi, and gratuities. So, let me
ask you this. After this crazy pandemic year
we’ve all experienced, aren’t you ready for a retreat….the Celebrity Retreat?
