So what cruise lines can rival the Retreat experience?
NOT just from a suite standpoint, but I'm referring to the overall Retreat experience. Butlers, dedicated restaurant, dedicated lounge, dedicated sun deck. I get that other cruise lines offer suites and upscale amenities, but most don't offer those things I mentioned. I know some will say MSC Yacht Club, but IMO it just doesn't match up. Others may say NCL's Haven, but same answer. RCL's suite class on Oasis ships? Maybe close, I guess, but a step or two below.
So what am I miss
The particular subjects were (1) a 50-YO couple from FL (heard of supervised room suspension, 'here-say' from crew), (2) a 50+-YO 'exec' who decided to do an end of week FT call with his business in the dining room with full 'speaker mode' plus his massive vocals for 37 minutes and (3) a 65 YO H with W and 2 IL's who FT'd loudly to a toddler at home about his deserving spanking he'll get when they get home every day.
No spring breaker issues at all. No issue with kids at all.
