Nice Relaxing Cruise for Couples

March

Pros: Great food, loved the infinity balcony, prepaid drinks and gratuities, smoke free casino

Cons: Slight feeling of being second class if not in the aqua or retreat class

Recommended: Yes

This was a great ship for the two of us to relax and enjoy. We really appreciated that no worries of post cruise charges and the ship was beautiful.

Disappointing! Ship is too BIG

December

Pros: Beautiful ship! Great Entertainment!

Cons: The Retreat pool area was FULL! Couldn't find seating during the 3 days at sea. .

Recommended: No

We were disappointed in the quality of the food and the service on this ship. We were in a CS suite, and as past passengers and found that Celebrity has gone downhill. My suite was not properly cleaned when we arrived. My luggage didn't make it to my room until after sailing. They are nickel & diming passengers with raising the drink prices an extra $2.00 premium package which is a joke. Everyone in the Retreat was complaining. Lumanie is too BIG. I say go back to The Edge, Apex size ships. Selling day passes to the Retreat pool area for people who did not book a suite is not fair. Makes it not exclusive anymore. Sad to report this.

Retreat Guests

November

Pros: Enjoyed sailing on the ship

Cons: Below satisfactory for Retreat Class

Recommended: No

Premium drink package was included for Retreat guests, but on the second day of cruising, some of the premium alcohol was an additional charge. Food quality for dining at the Luminae was below satisfactory for what is advertised as fine dining for Retreat guests. Except for the ship I would recommend Royal Caribbean first. I would not spend the money for Retreat class, instead I would spend it on the Specialty dining which the food was excellent.
