Never asked my butler/ Retreat host to go to Al Bacio to get our coffee

It's an advertised benefit for Retreat Class,so you're not asking anyone to do anything they're not supposed to. I'm assuming they are getting the specialty coffee from the Retreat Lounge but it's not my concern where they get it if it's an advertised benefit

I keep reading this.  🙁  It concerns me.  Does it trouble anyone else?

 

 

Most cruises are sailing with all suites occupied.  One always has the option to avoid those areas at certain times.

Yes, it bothers me.  Paying a premium for a crowded situation is not what I anticipated.

Edge class ship is very well designed in Luminae and the sundeck

If you sit by the window of the table for 2 is always crowded. 
If you sit by the wall next to the kitchen is more spacious and won’t feel crowded.

Sundeck is also divided to 2 sections.One by the tubs is always crowded and the other side is always empty

For the retreat lounge the open air balcony is always empty.

This is base on my previous cruises experience on Apex.

I had exactly the same experience on Edge with a full Retreat sailing.
