Oh, how amazing does this room look? I don't think my budget will ever stretch this far but hey, a boy can dream! Thanks so much for sharing this - now at least I know what's on the other side of those fancy doors when I walk down to my inside cabin, haha!
If it is not too personal of a question, what percentage of your total cruise fare did you bid to get the royal suite? You mentioned going to visit the majority of the specialty restaurants. Do you have any regrets on not using the suite restaurant, luminaire?
We didn't bid as a percentage of the cruise fare, rather it was based on the minimum bid for the upgrade. We went slightly above the minimum and it was accepted. We've done similar amounts above minimum in the past and have not received the upgrade, so we don't feel like we've unlocked the secret. As far as Luminae--we have sailed in The Retreat before, so we're familiar with Luminae's menus. The specialty dining opportunities were new for us...though we definitely ate in Luminae on the nights they served our favorite dishes. Luminae is wonderful, and there are a couple of specialty dining meals we had that I wished we'd been in Luminae, instead.
We knew we'd be entertaining later in the week, and it was more likely our guests would like something like the Capt. Morgan's. That said, The Reflection has a World Class Bar with incredible cocktails made with only the highest quality liquors. That was our bar of choice--and it was also included with the suite.
In someone else's video of the RS they showed the bed was adjustable (head and foot go up and down). Did yours have this feature? We're in one in December on deck 10 and were hoping all had this type of bed.

A beautiful suite. My sister and I are going on the Reflection in April, 2023. We love Celebrity cruise lines.

I am sorry you are switching a bottle of Highland park 12 single malt. For a bottle of captain Morgan's.. Words fail me.......................

Fabulous suite! The jacuzzi on the balcony can this be cold water only?
yes, it can be any temp you want-it is filled with hot and cold water like a giant bathtub.
@@postcardjar Thank you so much! Just booked the the Royal suite!!

We did not notice the bed going up or down, but it is possible...we think it did have a massage feature, but we never tried it.
