The SAME Cruise Now Costs $41,000?! You Won’t Believe What We Paid!
Learn more about true luxury cruising (not ship-within-a-ship style) here: https://youtu.be/1AqbGeIyrBs The SAME cruise, the SAME ship, the SAME suite - but today, it would cost us a staggering $41,000 AUD! 😳 So what has changed, and how much did we actually pay when we sailed in December 2022? In this video, I’m revisiting our first-ever Celebrity Cruises experience, sailing in The Retreat in a Royal Suite. We experienced luxury cruising with personalised service, a dedicated butler, an incredible suite, premium dining and a level of attention that made us feel like VIPs from the moment we arrived at the terminal. But was it worth the money? And with the price of the exact same cruise and suite for 2028 now reaching $41,000 AUD, has luxury cruising become ridiculously expensive? I’ll take you through what The Retreat includes, what the experience was really like, the service we received onboard, and the perks that made this sailing special. I’ll also reveal what we paid back in 2022 - and explain why the circumstances surrounding that booking may have played a part in the price. We’ll also look at how today’s price compares with other premium and luxury cruise options. 💬 QUESTION FOR YOU: Would you pay $41,000 for this cruise and suite? Or would you spend that money on a completely different cruise experience? Let me know in the comments!
