About us  We’re mid 50’s, have cruised several times before, and I’d consider us experienced travelers. We also enjoy great food and service and have been fortunate to eat in some of our nation’s finest restaurants and stay in some really great hotels. We shy away from most chain restaurants in favor of smaller, local places to dine. Our kids are either grown or about to finish high school. A typical hotel stay for us would be at a Marriott or Hyatt, but we've stayed in several of the best 5 star hotels as well. Our décor tastes lean more toward the clean contemporary style and not towards older furniture or antiques.

Overall

A beautiful ship with lots of spaces to get away from everyone and also plenty of spaces to be with others joining in the fun. One of the things we noticed most frequently was how empty the ship seemed, even at night when the pool area wasn’t packed with people. Where was everybody??? I attributed that to a good overall design and space planning. I’d say Celebrity’s tag line of “Modern Luxury” matches the onboard experience.

Cabin Review

We were in 6119, a 2B balcony, forward on the port side. As a point of reference, our balcony was directly above the “R” in the Reflection name on the hull. There were two of us and I’d consider us moderate packers. Much has been written about limited storage space, but we found it very adequate. The over the bed storage has lots of room and the three drawers were plenty for us. The bathroom had lots of shelves and small cabinets. Don’t forget to put your luggage under the bed to save space. The room décor was tastefully done. The balcony was well sized. Size wise the cabin was OK, certainly adequate, but by no means would I call it spacious. One thing we really liked about the room was that it is one of the few balcony cabins where you can look straight down to the water, no life boats, no protruding decks or roofs, etc. It is directly above the theater and we did hear the occasional muted sounds during a couple of the shows and the afternoon rehearsals, but not enough to be bothersome. Being pretty far forward does make for a longer walk to the rest of the ship, but unless you have mobility issues or are just really lazy, it won’t be an issue. The sound of the bow cutting through the water was very nice and relaxing.
