We just returned from a 7 night Eastern Caribbean from 3/29 to 4/5 and found the Reflection the best cruise out of 16 on various cruise lines. Celebrity is very obviously focusing on great food. We were very impressed with every venue except the Lawn Club (pizza parlor with a view). For $85 a couple we didn't think it stood up to the rest of Celebrity's food.
The ENTERTAINMENT, I would have to agree, wasn't loud, it was on the edge of pain. Too bad X spent so much money on the production numbers to have some holding their ears shut. The music choice, too, was poor and some themes didn't follow through. The broadway night suddenly injected some early rock and roll. Broadway?? The individual acts were superb - juggler, magician, physical feats - all great - and the cruise director, Ian, was very entertaining and quick.
We ate at MURANO one night and thought it was fantastic - great food, service and venue. It was expensive, but worth every penny. Actually the food in the OCEANVIEW restaurant was excellent for a buffet and the 3000 passengers found the flow surprisingly good. The selection was amazing.
