Retreat on the Constellation

[Smithster]

Looking for cruisers that have been in the "so called" Retreat Class on Constellation.  We are booked for 2021 in Accessible Sky Suite and hoping they will be retrofit to a complete Retreat by then.  My understanding is the only real amenity is the Lumanai  Restaurant and MIchael's Club.  Frankly astounded at price when they only have those two offerings in my opinion.  If anyone can clue me in on the Retreat on the Constellation amenities to rectify the price I would love to hear it.  It is unfortunate the Connie does not offer Accessible rooms in Aqua as that our usual go to cabin as love the Blu and Persian Gardens.  The main reason on the Connie is we live in Tampa and cruising out of our city would be a plus for a change.

The Constellation has not been refurbished and doubt that it will be by the end of 2021.   Believe that all improvements/changes, etc have been put on hold.

 

The former Michael's Club is now called the Retreat Lounge.  On the Edge class ships and the other ships that have all ready been "redone" the room is now brighter/lighter and the furniture has all changed.   Not much else is different.   This is an exclusive lounge for Suite Guests, VIPS and Zenith Members.   Concierge available in the Retreat Lounge to assist you with any excursions, questions, etc.  Many suites also come with beverage package and internet package.   As well you will have access to the Retreat Sky Deck which is available only to the Suite Guests and VIPs.   A limited lunch menu, lounge chairs/chaises and very limited bar service.

 

Hope this helps you in your decision.

Constellation has Luminae and Michaels Club, but because of Covid she will not be getting the full Retreat renovation, no outer deck dedicated to suites. It has been reported that the retreat deck on Millennium and Summit is not always accessible.  There is suppose to be an elevator but it is often not working. If your only reason for booking a suite is the need for an accessible room you might want to consider a balcony cabin.  Use the money saved for specialty dining and a pass to Persian Gardens, which is not as nice or open as it is on S class ships.

The accessible C1 cabins have a fantastic HUGE aft balcony although they are a long walk if that is an issue.

The Retreat Sun Deck is added during the revolution updates which Constellation has not had yet.
