So what cruise lines can rival the Retreat experience?
George C replied to CruisinShips's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Agree Hal offers almost nothing, rccl is a distant third . Was totally blown away with my MSc yacht club equal or superior to celebrity suites . Butler does a better job they will escort you to shows or off the ship etc , our butler carried our drinks from lounge to restaurant each night. They’re the only suite lounge with live music most of the night . Very similar outdoor area with Edge class with outdoor pool , bar but superior outdoor restaurant . I do like the celebrity bigger suites with free specialty restaurants and bar setup . But MSc offers some small bottles of liquor in your fridge. -
Normally it’s 5 to 8 but my last cruise it was 4:30 to 7:30 you should get a email or something in your suite telling you all the perks and what time your happy hour is .

Got a letter today from the IRS we inherited some money when my mom passed at end of 2022 , but we didn’t get all the information until about a year later and needed to redo our 2022 income tax and was told we may need to pay a penalty, letter said we are fine no penalty needed 😁😁😁. as for fainting my back took about a month to recover after hitting the floor hard .

Agree have seen both

There is no star class on this ship . You get a great suite , breakfast in specialty restaurants and 3 hour happy hour
-
Rccl suite perks can’t compare to MSC YC or Celebrity suite perks , those lounges are open all day and no problem getting doubles, plus YC offers live entertainment in there lounge.
-
You should get a quart bottle in your suite .

We cruise the weekend after thanksgiving every year and they put up the decorations during our cruise.

Yes no vouchers during the 3 hour happy hour in suite lounge.

Yes Brooklyn Hights was one of the areas another was Carrol Gardens which I lived in. I worked at A&S and spent lots of time in Brooklyn Hights bars, which was a short walk. Dirty Dancing is definitely one of my wife’s favorite movies. Loads of great movies have been mentioned, lots I have seen many many times. Loved all of Mel Books movies.

No vouchers should be used during happy hour , maybe they wanted to confirm you were in a suite . If they attempt to use your diamond drinks just go to concierge and complain.

When we were on harmony about 4 months ago they gave us same wine for lunch in CK as we got during happy hour without using a coupon .

Do any of you have a preference for size or age of ship?
George C replied to sjde's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
I started cruising in mid 1970’s and I cruised solo so a cruise for a week would be about a months pay . Now I cruise only in suites and I prefer the larger ships because of the entertainment. -
Anniversary Cruise Recommendations, Please!
George C replied to TravelinGert's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
We did a similar cruise for our 25th on rccl ship in a grand suite. Fantastic cruise, we are also big celebrity suite fans edge class has fantastic perks . I would also consider MSc but definitely book their yacht club very similar perks as celebrity edge class. Barcelona is a great place to spend a few days and to start a cruise , just 30 mins from airport. I would try to find a travel agent that you can trust we aren’t allowed to recommend a name on this site. -

miami hotel with restaurant inside or easy walking distance
George C replied to 6fan's topic in Florida Departures
The Doubletree and Marriott share a huge lobby with several restaurants, seafood, itilian, Japanese and others plus a pub , deli and stores including a liquor store. Most restaurants have bars also. No shuttle but very cheap Uber and you can see the ship from balcony 😁. -
Post Cruise, Miami, Marriott property, July
George C replied to cxr133's topic in Florida Departures
There is a Hilton across the street from Doubletree and Marriott, the one restaurant in Marriott has a fabulous view of the harbor and a large bar I believe the name is Casablanca. -
Cats wasn’t that bad , walked out of Columbus after about 20 minutes
