LivingVicariously

Not to sound like a total weirdo, but your reviews brighten my day!  Truly a delight to read, looking forward to any others you may post 😄.

I was just about to give my partner an update on this riveting journey and went to pull up the booking in question and the Retreat is no longer available! (Did have a brief moment of panic wondering if I had somehow slept-booked it...) If one of you booked it, please give us a proper review when you return, haha.

OP needs to consider looking at other Edge Class ships and price out The Iconic Suite on them as well for comparison.

I've done as you suggested and now see that Iconic is, indeed, around that price tag. Which is... wow.

That is not an error. Brand new ship to the US. on a unique itinerary. The Iconic Suite is the only suite available. It’s similarly priced to what the Edge Iconic Suite sold for during her inaugural Caribbean sailings. For double occupancy It’s selling for around 85k for holiday sailings and 50-55k for a routine 7 nighter.

The mistake would be to think that there are no people out there that would pay this amount.  There are.

WOW. You learn something new every day I guess. Unsurprisingly then, I will continue to embody the spirit of my username and stick with following Captain Kate McCue and Bug from afar!

It lets you click all the way through to payment for a grand total of $54,206 per guest. What a wild error to make!

I am a weird person who gets a kick out of virtually planning trips that they are unable to afford and will never be able to actually go on. Tonight's virtual planning has brought me to looking at itineraries for the Celebrity Beyond because I have loved learning about cruise ships from Captain Kate McCue (and Bug!). I very arbitrarily selected the 9-night Southern Caribbean itinerary (Oct 26 - Nov 04, 2022) and while I recognize the Retreat is a luxury suite type of situation, the $46,439 per person cost has to be a typo, right? I was so floored by this that I checked it on my phone, too, just in case my laptop was being weird or something. I don't know why I care about this enough to post about it on the internet, but here we are. If it is a typo - yikes. If it isn't a typo - do you get to... own the room at the end of the 9 days?
