Celebrity Reflection Review
Rating by category
Additional details
This was our first cruise with Celebrity, although we have cruised many other lines, most with Royal Caribbean. Celebrity has become our favorite cruise line for many reasons. The Reflection, being their newest ship, was all we thought it would be. The cabins are spacious, the bathrooms large and modern and the public rooms are tasteful and beautiful.
We attended all the shows and the Reflection singers and dancers are very good. The Reflection show which featured circus type performers was especially good. There was also a violinist, pianist, magician, etc. and only the magician was a little "tired". I know entertainment is a personal thing, but we enjoyed most of the shows and obviously, they try to get a variety. Our favorite was a group of 4 acapella singers called "these guys" from FL. They performed beautiful 4 part harmony, had a show one night and also performed in the lounges.
We ate in the Opus Dining room each night except one, and we enjoyed all the meals. The service, food and presentation was top notch and our waiter was excellent. My husband is a beef eater and he had no complaints. We thought the buffet was well laid out, spacious and there was a good variety for breakfast and lunch. The pasta station, mexican station, salad bar, etc were busy, but the waiters kept them stocked. The ice cream bar was especially a favorite and open from noon until 10 PM.
Cabin Review
Cabin 6240 was an obstructed view, but there was only a small boat underneath the cabin and looking out, the only obstruction was a small pole on one side. The balcony was near the hump, so it was larger than normal. The rounded bed was beside the balcony, which was nice. The sofa was a good across from the desk with the flat screen TV over it. There was not abundant drawers, as there were only 3 small ones plus the fridge and safe in the desk. There are two shelves above the bed, so that helped. The closet was large and the luggage fit under the bed. The bathroom was the largest we have ever had on a cruise ship with a round sink, tile backsplash, lots of storage in the bathroom and a good size shower. The location is only a few cabins from the elevators and stairs, so the location is great. It was quiet and we had no problem.
