Are Cruise Ship Suites Worth It? CELEBRITY EDGE SKY SUITE TOUR plus LUMINAE & RETREAT LOUNGE TOUR

[@TSKseattle]

And remember, Don splurged for Alicia's Suite too. Good to have the right friends

[@jameymonroe954]

I'm so jealous of both of them! Hope you enjoy yourselves immensely!

[@ElizabethBSoCal]

I am so glad you and Don are pals. You both are my favorites! ~Elizabeth

[@jameymonroe954]

So am I Anthony and Donald give the best of cruise news entertainment and information no doubt! Happy sailings gentlemen! Cheers!

[@robertp181]

I like that you sign your own comments.

[@gregwike2105]

"Is it worth it?" is always a question that can only be answered by the individual, since we all come with different preferences and financial situations. It's like asking if flying first class is worth it. Or is a $500 steak worth it. In my particular opinion, for us it is not worth it because on our budget we can afford to take many more cruises by paying for the cheapest cabin. But if I was much richer, then of course a suite would be great.

[@salliestewart4713]

Well put

[@christianoliver3572]

I'd be careful if this was your first cruise!! It would be hard for me to go back to a normal cabin after this!!

[@jodura3363]

Well said. It is all relative.

[@lillybalderas102]

@@christianoliver3572 couldn’t agree more. Imagine if like for some miracle you could afford the most expensive suite the first time, and for the next trip you could only afford the cheapest. That would be so sad 😆

[@stevewilson6390]

Exellelent opinion ! You hit the nail on the head .

[@farab4391]

I watched many videos before booking our first cruise last year. This was one of them. We ended up booking a Sky Suite just like this one on the Beyond in Aug 2023 around the eastern Med. We LOVED the suite and The Retreat. My wife wasn't keen on a cruise, but I've always wanted to do one. Since we came back from the cruise, it's all she's been talking about and wants to go back into The Retreat. Next year we're trying the MSC World Europa around the Med, in a Duplex Suite with whirlpool. Our first choice would've been an Edge Villa on the Celebrity Ascent, but the MSC Duplex Suite is very similar and at less than 1/3 the price, we have to give it a try 🙂

[@markw639]

If we are on a heavy sea day cruise we book sky suite. If port heavy then balcony works perfectly

[@davepalmatier1540]

Opulence at its best. Thanks to both you Tony, and Don for this enlightening tour of “the suite life”

[@blisteringherb]

Staying in a suite is always worth it for us. Having the butler and access to Luminaire is SO nice. That Sky Suite is gorgeous.

[@namelast3997]

I am vegetarian, drink tons of wines, cheeses, did Elemis spa and worked out in gym (38yrs old when I sailed) price was definitely worth it…. I did have like two yrs to save. If you have doubts do It!

[@nitab1971]

Suitcase is like Honey Badger...he don't care. This was a fun vlog with you fellows. So many ships to sail, so little time!

[@tripstracka1643]

Totally worth being in a Suite. We were in a Sky Suite the first time we were on the Equinox for 10 nights and it loved every second. Luminae, the Retreat Lounge, and all the extra stuff makes for a FABULOUS cruise.

[@code4forlife]

Awesome Video Tony it’s great to see you and Don together having a great time 👍😃

[@brunkerj]

Watching the video again. THAT is the exact cabin I have for our Barcelona to Rome cruise this coming May!

[@susandavie9049]

Love the suite! You deserve it after being on lock down. Enjoy watching Don and Tony, missing Jenny though. Enjoy!

[@jameymonroe954]

Don Tony and ilana really make my day! So informative and very reliable. Whenever I cruise in the future (2022 2023 here I come!) I know I'll be forearmed with the best information the best seats the best food and the best service! Well done folks! Happy trails to you all! ♡♡♡

[@lisaanderson8235]

I really appreciate this peek at such a fancypants suite!! I'm so glad Don's first cruise back was so spectacular! And Tony, yes, your room was awesome. 👍

[@danzuelch]

Tony, it was so nice meeting you! We loved our Sky Suite and the entire suite experience!!! Our butler, Albert did an amazing job for us.

[@kevinj6497]

Didn't get a notification for this video, this has happened a few times, must be a KZbin glitch.

[@rogerfleury9759]

I think, if like me, you enjoy and can afford the Suites on cruises, you should get it. I enjoy being able to eat in a private dining room, away from the unwashed masses. Love the Butter services. And the private activities coordinator that comes to you ever morning at breakfast and asks what you want to do for the day, and by the time you get back to your Suite, all the tickets are laid on your bed ready to go. The Butler will bring snacks at any appointed time during the day or night. It’s just a better experience than the way I started out with. When I started 12+ years ago I would book a large balcony cabin. It might cost more, but if you can afford it, do it! Roger in Pierre South Dakota

[@Sherlock40REC]

Hi Don 😁. Glad to see you both having a great time.

[@GrdNana]

Omg so funny How about that bathroom view.... lol, throne room, too funny

[@FloridaGiGi]

Thank you so much for this video! I am booked on the celebrity equinox in May, in a celebrity Suite - it actually has a separate bedroom. Thanks for the information about the dinning room. I am so excited!

[@kimahlberg7477]

Enjoyed video! Suites aren't my cup of tea. I was able to take my whole family(4 adults and 2 grandchildren) on a cruise (balconies) for less than the price of a suite. I am so thankful for being able to do this and I pray I can do it again. Cruises are the best for families

[@polishking4372]

When you cruise suit you will never go back to inside room again. Cruise line knows this and that's why they do upgrades. Best of Healt from Poland

[@jameymonroe954]

I am so happy for Donald! And so jealous! Delta problems aside I for one cannot wait! 2023 here I come! After my test run on Virgin Voyages of course. The marble gets me every time! ♡

[@laurelbrennan6295]

I was just going to ask if Don could have guest to the restaurant and he said he invited you. I will definitely book the Edge on my next cruise. Great video! At least Suitcase isn't rolled under the bed like he would be in a regular room. You guys brighten my day....crack me up!

[@kathyerickson9402]

My husband and I are in our first suite (vs mini-suite) on our February cruise. We are very excited! Be safe...live safe....stay healthy and we can all cruise happy!

[@beatlejeff65]

I have a Sky Suite booked on the Celebrity Summit for November 2022. This video just made the wait seem even longer.

[@jamesbecker4326]

How nice that Tony got to dine with Don at the 'suite only' restaurant. Beware that it may not be the same on other cruise lines. My wife and I were on NCL with another couple who were in a amazing aft corner suite in the 'Haven' which included access to many haven perks. They asked if we could have lunch with them and it was NO. They couldn't even give us a tour of the whole haven area. We were allowed to hang out in their room and had dinner on their huge (like 250 sq ft) balcony.

[@jameswade7550]

Wow fantastic Might be a perfect suite to celebrate a Retirement cruise for myself here in a few years or a special birthday Nice !!

[@mikeoconnell4241]

Great video you guys. Tony , when you get home you should see a doctor. It’s sounds like you could have some congestive heart failure. Enjoy the rest of your trips and stay safe.

[@bonniekuhl1003]

I love this!!!! So pretty!!! So glad Don is enjoying!

[@trudyhorst3990]

I loved this vlog, fellows! Informative and fun!

[@DawnalynForrest]

Love the insight of the suite and dining room! *slooooow the camera down!* Your excitement is so infectious. Sweeeet suite!

[@stevenz2234]

Sweet Suite.....That experience is definitely a notch above the norm, Thanks for taking the time to review the stateroom and amenities. I am sure you had a tough time leaving.

[@perlanava-moreno6915]

Pre pandemic I booked a 10 day pacific coast sky suite on the millennium, for us it is a splurge at 6K, but seeing all this… we made a good choice.

[@NauticalNurseNancy]

Wow...just WOW!!! That Retreat Lounge area looks AMAZING!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

[@susanb4482]

I stayed in a sky suite on the 7/17 Eastern sailing right before yours…had an amazing time…absolutely loved the retreat experience…but I didn’t think you could take the robe..I guess next time…we are scheduled on the Edge in Greece September 2022.

[@montyboswell6509]

I’m surprised about the robes! (Lois)

[@RaggedyAnn66]

I stayed in a spa suite on a NCL ship, nearly six years ago, after my cancer treatments were finished, & I got to take my robe home with me also!

[@craigwalz6508]

With a drink package, priority, speciality dining, butler service, a really nice vip deck area, wifi, and of course the room 5 grand is pretty damn reasonable.

[@grubbb]

I've watched every one of your videos over time, and just rewatched this one! I think this is your best video ever! :) Keep up the great work, and I will continue to be a fan. (I saved this video when I first watched it, and am looking forward to our Edge trip in 8 months).

[@derrickhouston2202]

Absolutely

[@veronicashine1812]

We are booked on the Celebrity Suite for July 2023 in the Med. The space is what we need because there's 3 of us. The perks made it well worth it as all passengers in the cabin are receiving them. Usually, perks are for the first 2 passengers only.

[@jodura3363]

Nice cabin. Real nice. The Retreat is absolutely beautiful. ❤️ Funny re Suitcase

[@RiverDanube]

It depends if you would rather two cruises for the price of one, how much time and money you have, how much time you spend in the cabin and how good the cabin is in comparison.

[@michelleluvbeachsunsets4529]

Wow! This is definitely a bucket list experience for me. Some day, one day! Thanks for filming these areas. Looks like such a peaceful and beautiful suite life.

[@MizuIsQuit]

Think positive while on board, don't share a bad news to others. Just make you happy travel the world and share a GOOD things and GOOD NEWS.

[@LilJonBigNuts]

Looking great as always both of you!

[@Myislandtravel]

I absolutely love the style of Celebrity ships. One day I will splurge and sail on one.

[@smokeytraveler]

We booked a Mini Suite on Princess and it was great. Didn’t realize you had perks in the MDR would love to do it again if we could afford it.

[@dudeski934]

Awesome seeing both of you in one video 😀 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@karenlyles1315]

Loved it! Too funny!

[@teresah5318]

Wow! So smooth and classy! I would love to do this type of accommodations for sure! Hubby recently retired and I hope to next year. Maybe then... Thanks for sharing!! Love you guys!!

[@matt24ishere69]

great tour.

[@jimj2839]

Sometime, we have to book a suite on Edge.

[@reneebp8292]

Love this. Thanks for these videos. I have never given celebrity a thought. But the more I see the more would love to try them. Once I can cruise without my kids I would splurge on a suite.

[@Zenbee723]

One of my friends begged me to let her join me on a cruise. Knowing she was a total slob who slept in every morning, i said “sure- but only if you pay for a 2 room suite upgrade”. I let her have the walk-in closet which was so messy you couldn’t see the floor. I got ready in the Living Room every morning, then the butler brought me breakfast. Ah, the suite life!

[@vickiehorowitz1934]

I am glad that even though I don't splurge for suites (I do verandah concierge class), there is always plenty of private quiet space if you seek it out.

[@lboutard]

Tell Jenny to close her eye when Tony’s by the tub! Haha! Awesome friendship!

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Wauw what a cabin /suite. Beautiful 🤩

[@MattCook206]

Thanks for the tour ! Looks like a great suite and all the other perks.

[@Cloud7Travel]

Don's cabin is great 👏

[@Wol1verine]

That suite is beautiful!

[@Pitsler]

About the same size as our aft corner family suite on Celebrity Equinox. Are suites worth it? YES! Special check-in lines for boarding. Like the update to Michael’s Club! (We spent lots of time in there!) Our butler was at our beck and call, we had special reserved seats in the showroom every night, Luminare restaurant with VERY personalized service! IT WAS FABULOUS!

[@spydude38]

Great video Tony! Enjoyed seeing what the "suite life" is like.

[@michelealkins616]

Great video! Thanks, Tony and Don!

[@patriciacoslett5484]

Weird, this didn’t show up on my notifications! Thanks for sharing!

[@ljacobs357]

As nice as the Edge is, we prefer the intimacy of the Solstice class sky suites.

[@campaignteam]

If I happen to hit the lottery, I may splurge for a suite. My tastes and expectations are fairly simple so I would rather do 3 cruises in a regular balcony rather than 1 week in a suite. It is nice though…

[@breadyegg]

Same same. I'd definitely wanna try a suite or a presitge line like Viking though.

[@stepharredon13]

Wonder what the square footage is? It looks so small for a suite. Not impressed but nice perks.

[@Lealelan]

We were fortunate to have an owners suite on RC Liberty of the Seas many years ago. It was ginormous! I think 600+ sq feet. Traveling with my 3 kids, it was worth it for the space, though we could have made it work in other cabins. Im someone who loves sea days and loves hanging on the balcony reading. It was sheer bliss! Interestingly, I didnt realize we had "suite" benefits til the last day - oops! Next cruise I've booked two cabins, and had to pay a single supplement for one, so it's not the that much less than a suite (they were sold out). I hope to do a transatlantic at some point, or the R/T Hawaii, both with lots of sea days and will save up for a suite!

[@nmd1682]

Can you run a comparison between Blue and Luminae, please?

[@brendalee4672]

I have lived in Canada 50 years and I have never heard anyone say privacy like that. lol

[@ShadyS-2012]

Correct. It's actually a UK thing I believe.

[@victoriasview325]

Yea, me too….we don’t say it like that! It’s definitely British.

[@ExploreTravelTV]

man that looks nice! I always get a balcony room but haven't been able to afford a suite, that looks great!

[@commanderredhawk7468]

Super vid Tony. Looking forward to the trans-Atlantic trip on MSC Meraviglia in April in the suite that Jenny booked for us. Has its own hot tub on the balcony!!! 🛳🛳🛳👖👖👖🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[@ronwest2054]

You didn't mention that suite guests can also dine at the Blu restaurant on space available basis. Also worth mentioning is the room service menu for suite guests with crab cakes, filet mignon, Chilean Sea Bass and more....

[@LaLidoLoca]

Good points! Blu is so good!

[@rainbowcheeze99]

So much good information. Thanks.

[@peteschenck9655]

Luminae was the reason we only book Celebrity Suites. We booked another suite on a different cruise line and the result was nowhere close to matching Celebrity’s care for the Suite Life. Jao, the Retreat Concierge was on the Constellation as we went through the Sues Canal. Having a suite only concierge saved me leaving Israel when my credit card got hacked. I’ll never cruise on another cruise line and definitely not in anything but a suite. Book early as I am on a waiting list for a suite in 2023 out of Sydney.

[@B-ch6uk]

I expected Don to say have a vantastic day

[@deenaanderson4667]

I gotta win the lottery. that room was awesome

[@lisamiller1337]

Omg, that was my suite! I was on the first sailing a month ago, it also happened to be my 50th bday, first suite experience, loved it and all the pampering! Just catching up, got back from HAL Alaska cruise, love HAL but that suite life on celebrity kinda spoiled me!

[@moelladevil]

Yeah, if I had the money, which I don’t. Love that retreat area.

[@3716anderson]

Good shot of the dredge, Tony!

[@LaLidoLoca]

I was fascinated by that dredge :)

[@wendypappagallo2421]

That is the size of Disney veranda cabin

[@jamesk370]

Assuming the powers-that-be don't lockdown everything again, this December will be my first time ever having a suite on a cruise ship (50th birthday present to myself).

[@peggyford3801]

I loved the tour!

[@douglasbray3563]

In my head everything you said suite I heard sweet and then hear dude

[@ginabyrd503]

That bathroom is nice and spacious, but windows closed please!

[@ErnestoPolotto]

Love this video!!!!!!

[@jons_vlog3]

This is Awesome thanks for the vid

[@toccoa]

TYVM! My first question is: are any suites ever solo--fare-friendly (above 100% but hopefully not 200%)? I am not afraid of hard work, as long as someone else does it: why not a segment on the incremental cost to suite it up with examples? Blame/link Don and you get to mention Jenny as TA by using her examples? What would it have cost to upgrade to Don Class in your upcoming cruises? Who has the best suite values? If you were forced to do a suite cruise, which one would you take? Let us struggling proletariat vicariously live the rich YT lifestyle (tongue-in-cheek-emoji)

[@karlpetersen7147]

Very nice and great perks as well. I got upgraded to a mini suite on NCL on my last cruise but it was nothing like this. It was more like an extra large balcony cabin with extra large balcony. It was very nice but we didn’t get any extra perks. I don’t think I would spend the extra money for the sky suite even though it is sweet.

[@Scott__C]

Good tour, Tony! #freesuitcase

[@MsLucky443]

Cool, thanks for the info.

[@jameshchetwyndjr9739]

My sister takes a suite on Disney. But I’m lucky to afford inside cabin. It depends on what you can afford

[@christinav3619]

That’s was a fantastic video. thanks for sharing Dons room with us. Can’t wait to see the cruise content on both channels! Don and Tony are the best! 🛳

[@montyboswell6509]

I can’t wait, either!

[@attila1746]

Once we splurged on a suite, we never looked back. We just couldn't go back, even if it resulted in fewer cruises (quality over quantity)!

[@brunkerj]

Enjoyed your video. We're taking a 12 day British trip in May, and your video showing this room (across from the one we'll have) is incredible. Good personality to be sharing the ship. Small suggestion; when you showed the room in the beginning, you moved too much. But loved the video and subscribed! Thank you!

[@loungelizard1975]

@Tony - if Don was able to book that Sky suite at 5K solo price it was TOTALLY worth it!!!

[@nancysquyres4103]

Hi, Don! Love ya!

[@carishields7834]

Hahaha 5 k on a Disney cruise will get you an inside room lol I’ll check this out for sure

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

This video was so much fun!!! You sold me on the suite when I saw you can see the balcony/view from the bathroom. Since I travel alone, that is a major selling point. $5K is a bit much for me though. If I could get a deal on that cabin for $3-$3.5K then I'd go for it. Speaking of miserable (were we? 🤣), Royal Caribbean just cancelled my Thanksgiving 2021 cruise 😭😭😭😭😭😭.

[@AdventuresofDeanna]

That suite is nice!
