Rare Salf777 Posted January 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2023 So just returned from our first Celebrity cruise on the Beyond in the Retreat. Loved it. Looking at booking a sailing on either Edge or Apex. I asked and someone said the Edge sun deck does not have any umbrellas? Is this so? We spent quite a bit of time on the sun deck on the Beyond and it was hot at times and fortunately we were under an umbrella. anyone know about this? if you had to choose between apex and edge in the retreat which would you choose and why? THANK YOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted January 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Apex had some umbrellas. None on the Edge when we were there. I didn’t spend much time on the sun Deck on the due to lack of shade. Having been on all 3 the Beyond is the best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickdent Posted January 8, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2023 We have sailed on Edge and Apex. The Retreat lounge on Apex is superior due to the presence of the lounge bar with better service both walk-up and waitstaff. Enjoy! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted January 8, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I really disliked all the umbrellas in beyond retreat hard to find a chair with sun. Liked edge , have yet to do apex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverlaysup Posted January 9, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2023 On the Apex Retreat deck, we found the nice couchs along the wall were well shaded and a great place to camp out and read/relax/nap. Hopefully Edge is similar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciated the bit more on Apex but still tough to find shade unless you get there early. mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine they are permanently in an open position as they would need to take them down on very windy/stormy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanb10567 Posted January 9, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 9, 2023 They added umbrellas to the Edge retreat deck…however they were closed usually when we were at sea on our Greece itinerary this past September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timf2001 Posted January 9, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 9, 2023 There were plenty of shade options in the Retreat on Edge last month, whether umbrellas or pergolas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
