Ep. 652 - Live Bonus Show - Is Celebrity Ascent's The Retreat Worth It? Two DCL Fans' Honest Takes

from DCL Duo Podcast: A Disney Cruise Line Fan Podcast · host Brian & Sam

Karen and Kaley from My Path Unwinding Travel didn't book Celebrity Ascent's The Retreat just for fun — they went as Disney Cruise Line travel advisors on a deliberate mission: evaluate The Retreat so they could give their DCL concierge clients an honest, informed recommendation. They came back with some real surprises, and this episode covers all of it. In this episode: How The Retreat's all-in value — premium Wi-Fi, beverages from 7:30am to midnight, and a private suite restaurant — compares to what DCL concierge guests get and pay for Inside Kaley's Edge Villa: a two-story suite with a plunge pool, butler reachable via WhatsApp, and a shoreside concierge call asking how she'd like her complimentary pajamas embroidered Luminae vs. Palo: how Celebrity Ascent's suite-class dining stacks up for DCL fine dining fans — including where it hit, and where it slightly missed Royal Beach Club pool cabana at Nassau — and how the all-day experience compares to a Castaway Cay cabana day Entertainment on board: the ABBA sing-along that had Karen declaring her cruise complete, a three-floor atrium silent disco, martini bar shows, and more DCL news: kids sail 50% off promotion, a new internet pre-purchase pilot on the Dream and Wish, and Lorcana cards on the Disney Magic "And the one that I got the kick out of was how would we like our pajamas to be embroidered?" — Kaley Support the Show: Book your next Disney Cruise Line vacation with My Path Unwinding Travel Subscribe to DCL Magazine and use promo code DCLDUO for 10% off Stay Connected with DCL Duo: Website | Instagram | Facebook | Facebook Group We're Ranked as a Top Podcast by Feedspot: Top 30 Disney Cruise Line Podcasts (#1) | Top 20 Cruise Podcasts (#2) | Top Disney Podcasts (#4) | Top 20 Disney Cruise Line Influencers (#12) The views expressed in this podcast are our own and do not reflect the views of the Walt Disney Company, Disney Cruise Line or any other travel provider discussed or mentioned.
