Celebrity Beyond Sky Suite Cabin 10211 Review
We stayed in a Celebrity Beyond Sky Suite cabin for our 10-night Mediterranean cruise. We booked the guaranteed rate for The Retreat and, within 24 hours, were assigned to Sky Suite Cabin 10211, located on the port side. Here is our review.
Since we were sailing for ten nights aboard, the Sky Suite made us feel at home and more. We were super comfortable, but while we loved this cabin, there were still a few downsides worth mentioning.
Feel free to ask us any questions about the Celebrity Beyond Sky Suite or The Retreat in the comments, or share your experiences. We’d love to hear from you.
What is the Sky Suite on Celebrity Beyond?
The Sky Suite on Celebrity Beyond is the lowest-tier suite available in The Retreat.
Our Experience Staying in the Sky Suite Cabin Aboard The Beyond
Our experience staying in the Sky Suite Cabin aboard the Celebrity Beyond is one of our favorite cabins thus far. This space embodied modern luxury and offered a magnificent layout that we LOVED. The bed was strategically positioned to face the expansive balcony, treating us to breathtaking morning views that we found invigorating.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Sky Suite Cabin was impressively spacious, boasting contemporary design elements and ample closet space. The bed was super comfortable, with multiple pillows.
The bathroom, a highlight in itself, featured a rain shower, an enclosed tub, a double sink, and a toilet with a separate door. There was enough room for the two of you to get ready. The toiletries in the shower (shampoo, conditioner, and body soap) were nice, courtesy of C.O. Bigelow, so you can leave yours at home if you want to save space.
And, you didn’t have to sacrifice not having a view in the bathroom because there was a peekaboo window above the sink that let you see straight into the room and the balcony.
In this Sky Suite cabin, you’ll find:
- Multiple USB ports, 5 to be exact
- 2 US electrical ports
- a European electrical port
- a large screen TV with various movies included
- Mini Fridge
- Safe
- eXhale® bedding and CashmereTM mattresses
- Robes
- Free 24 Hour Room Service
Balcony is Spacious With a Minor Obstruction
The balcony was larger than we expected, with a minor obstruction that didn’t bother us. The narrow column was discreetly positioned, preserving our scenic views inside the cabin. The balcony was so spacious when you sat outside that we never felt the column was in the way.
If you think that will bother you, we suggest changing rooms to one without obstructions.
The cabin is located near the AFT elevators and stairs
Cabin 10211 is a category S2 located mid-ship, portside, near the AFT elevators and stairs. We thought it was conveniently located, allowing you to take the stairs or elevator down to Grand Plaza or upstairs to the Oceanview Cafe. However, to reach The Retreat from your cabin at FWD on the ship, you had to walk through deck 10 corridors to the FWD elevators and stairs.
No Coffee machine in the Suite
Another notable drawback is the absence of a coffee machine, a feature reserved for the higher-tier suites. This, however, didn’t significantly impact our experience.
Is the Celebrity Sky Suite worth it?
If you can afford it or book it at a reasonable rate, the comfort of the Sky Suite itself is worth it. You must consider that it is part of the Retreat experience, so the rates for the Sky Suites include Retreat perks, such as access to The Retreat Lounge, The Retreat Pool Deck, and its exclusive restaurant, Luminae.
