Hi Kim,

Great question. If you want your son to be behind the same door as you, there are a few options for suites that have two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Alternatively, you could get two suites side-by-side and each have your own space (and real bed) but still be close to each other. The balconies may even open up so you can share them. Is this something we could help you research and book? We are travel advisors with Dream Vacations and have extensive experience with Celebrity Cruises. Note there is no additional cost to you for our services. Please just let us know if we can be of assistance. You can reach us by phone at 402-575-9624 or a.teget@dreamvacations.com.

Hello and thank you for the great article packed with such specific information! Question: we will be booking a retreat suite for our upcoming Mediterranean cruise. Our adult son is traveling with us. What are the sleeping arrangements available for a third person? We do not want him to sleep on a pull out couch or other such bedding. Thank you!

Hi Richard,

Sorry it took so long to reply…my wife just had her knee replaced and so I’ve been offline for a bit. The Thermal Suite is NOT included with a suite unless you’re in an Aqua Sky Suite (which is not the same as AquaClass) or in a Royal Suite or above. Otherwise you’d have to pay for a day/cruise pass for the Thermal Suite.

Insofar as hints: Now that you booked a suite, you’ll likely never want to go back. Celebrity offers great service everywhere, but somehow in The Retreat it is even more over the top. Enjoy the Retreat Lounge at cocktail hour or for breakfast. Heck, enjoy it anytime as it is a lovely space offering a great personalized experience. If you like coffee in the morning, let your butler know how you like it. You may pick a time for it to be delivered each day or simply have the butler “on call” with it and they’ll bring it when you give the go-ahead.

Enjoy your cruise! If you love Celebrity, know that we actually have a group cruise planned on the Reflection in January, 2025 with some great pricing. Let me know if you’d like more information. You can contact us at admin@postcardjar.com

Hi Steve, I just started following you. Thank you for all your great suggestions/comments. My wife and I have been sailing with Celebrity for almost 10 years now. We typically get a veranda of concierge veranda. We just booked a transatlantic cruise in the retreat for spring of 2025 on the Equinox. We want to take advantage of what being in the retreat offers. We are looking forward to our sky suite, dining in the Luminae as well as having access to more personalized service. Would the spa amenities be included as well? Any suggestions from a pro such as yourself would be appreciated!

In reply to Lori. Yes, if you're in The Retreat, you just scan your card at a reader next to the doors to the Lounge or Sundeck and they will open for you. There are even entrances on the open deck that require a key card to enter.
