Excited to share our fabulous time on Reflection. We disembarked yesterday in Miami, from a 7 night cruise to Puerto Rico, St. Maartens and St. Thomas. We flew to Mimi 2 days early and stayed at the Hampton Inn on Brickell, because it was the number one hotel on trip advisor. It was a great choice and location with terrific service and free breakfast. I have been stopping myself from tearing up, as I miss the cruise already. This was our 5th cruise. We have enjoyed all of our cruises on various cruise lines. Celebrity will be our line of choice from here on in.

The Reflection is a new, modern and stylish ship. The art, decor and spaciousness was truly wonderful. Our room was in Concierge Class and was very nice and comfortable for my husband, our 14 year old son and myself. There were many quiet places to read, and nap all over the ship. The big draw was the pool, but we live in California and get enough sunshine:)

We purchased the premium drinks packages. This was a good choice for us as we got more than our monies worth, using around $88 each per day. We also pre-booked all of the specialty restaurants. Because we packed lighter than our usual overpacked bags (3 suitcases each weighing only 32 lbs each), we used the laundry service daily. It was an expense that we budgeted for. I still rinsed out a few things in the shower with Suave Ocean that I use for Shampoo/Shower Gel/Laundry Detergent. They dried quickly in the hot sun on the balcony, after being rung out and rolled in the beach/pool towels they provide in the room daily. Read more
