My wife and I have taken several cruises over the years and we were generally pleased with all of them but from the minute we stepped on this ship we knew we were in for something special. Check in was organized and easy, no long lines since they start early. We stepped onto the glass enclosed elevators and as we flew up toward the 14th deck we encountered an engineering marvel. There suspended seemingly in mid air is a beautiful live tree, visible from all of the elevators in that bank. The next few hours were spent in exploring the ship after the obligatory stop at the buffet lunch of course. We love to sit outside when we eat and Reflection has many tables just outside the buffet area.

During the tour, my wife and I could not stop marveling at the interior design. The furnishings were plush and comfortable, and the art work was creative. Our room (a veranda room) was comfortable and the bathroom spacious. Our first day and a half were at sea so all the passengers were onboard. This is sometimes problematic but there were plenty of lounge chairs available. Another thing I was pleased to see was that fresh towels were always available. On previous cruises towels were hard to come by 2 PM in the afternoon.

The food on the cruise was just fine. Breakfasts were available in the main dining room and at the buffet. The buffet was well organized. A staff member wrote down what we wanted on our omelette, and within 2 minutes your name was called and a hot fresh omelette was on your plate. Ice cream was available from 12 to 10 PM and you could get it topped with M&M's or other goodies. We were onboard for the Superbowl. They did such a great job. The theater was used and decorated in both team colors. The food made it feel like we were tailgating, wings, burgers, franks and nachos. They could not have made it more fun. Read more
