Celebrity Reflection Review
Celebrity Reflection - A well-run ship

Additional details
This was my 6th cruise but first from Miami and first aboard Reflection.
- Getting there: After much research, we opted to drive and park in the port's fouri-level parking garage. Too many unhappy stories about Premier Parking and other off-site lots that are much cheaper than the $20/day port parking but sounded like high potential for bag-dragging or break-ins. The port garage was quick and simple. Suggest drop off your bags at the terminal (baggage handlers will take checked bags) then park and make the short walk back to passenger check-in. CAUTION: The floors and parking areas are not well marked so be sure to remember where you parked your car!
- Boarding: Very efficient. As Aqua Class we were afforded some shortcuts. (Dumb move by me: Don't pack your short-blade Swiss Army knife with corkscrew. You'll have it confiscated and returned on debarkation.)
Cabin Review
The veranda cabin was well laid out, immaculately maintained, and spacious for two people. This cabin is located on the port (left) side of the 11th deck of the ship, at the crease where the forward midship deck begins its "bulge" outward. It meant a very slightly restricted view looking forward because of the adjacent cabins protruding outward. It also meant a loss of a little bit of privacy in that the couple of cabins forward of us could look aft onto part of our veranda. It was never a concern for us.
