Even though Reflection is a new ship, it is already well-reviewed here on Cruise Critic. It is gorgeous and extremely well laid out. I realized after being on board a day that this was one of the first ships I've been on when it didn't take days to learn where things were. The layout is very intuitive.

The interior of the ship is modern, bright and colorful without being gaudy or making one feel they are in a mall. It's just beautiful in every way. Our Sky Suite cabin, 1214, was immense in size compared to other Sky Suites we've had on Celebrity. What seemed to make the difference was that we were located at the furthest rear, furthest to the starboard side of the ship. I believe there are 2 such cabins on each deck. One advantage of this cabin is that the veranda wraps around the corner of the ship so we had the equivalent of a veranda and a third. We could see where we've been and where we were going!

We had concerns that being over the props and engines would make the cabin be rumbly and noisy. Instead the cabin was utterly quiet. In fact, I often had to look outside to make sure we were moving it was so quiet and calm. Of course, the ocean had barely a ripple the entire week. The entire crew was great and purchasing the highest level beverage package was the way to go. We bought the higher priced package which was nice in the specialty bars because the standard beverage package did not cover the more expensive specialty drinks and wine.

Cabin Review

Sunset Sky Suite

Cabin SS

We had Sky Suite 1214, a very large cabin as compared to other cruise-ship cabins we've had. It had large windows and a veranda that curved around the edge of the ship so we could see behind and forward as we cruised. The amenities were wonderful as was the over-sized bathtub. Even a mirror in the bathroom that didn't fog up! A concern was that being over the engines and props would make the cabin noisy or vibrate. Not so. It was utterly quiet the entire trip. Can't wait to go again.
