There are many that prefer Blu over Luminae. Personally I would spend the $1200 elsewhere and dine at Blu and add a 5 night specialty package (Tuscan + Murano are much better than Luminae imo) But you may benefit from the other amenities - larger room if you are a larger person , uh the other stuff is like making par after you hit a bad drive - feels good but nothing special at the end of your round.

That is some 'very strange math', but I get it.... Try it to see if you like it or not. We did not find value in Retreat particularly on M class. But, you're already ahead of the math curve, so it's like house money :)

Just realized, I'm posting on the DW's login. She doesn't post - she just lurks :)

You're saying $17K (or $11-12K)? no brainer - stay with what you have! and purchase a 10 (or more) night dining package :) Or just dine in Blu and purchase specialty if you don't like Blu

Not sure why you need a new toilet, but I would opt for the toilet. We have tried the Suite Life (more than once) and have decided booking an aft veranda and choosing to dine in specialty restaurants is preferred. Now, class of ship does factor into this and on M class both specialty and retreat amenities are limited. I guess if you want to try Luminae, now is a good opportunity. Luminae for breakfast is great , for dinner , not so much (for us). If we choose to travel in Retreat class again it will include many specialty restaurant nights as we don't care for Luminae
