Sail Date: May 2014

We arrived in Europe the day before we sailed from Civitavecchia, flying into Rome and then securing private transportation from the airport to our hotel in the port city (Hotel San Giorgio). From there, we took the hotel's shuttle to the ship, the Celebrity Reflection. The cruise we took was a 10-day Mediterranean cruise, traveling from Rome --> Messina (Sicily) --> Athens --> Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey --> Rhodes, Greece --> Santorini, Greece --> Mykonos, Greece --> Naples, Italy --> Rome. There were 2 at-sea days during our cruise (after Messina and Mykonos).

EMBARKATION/FIRST IMPRESSIONS: The check-in process was very smooth, and we arrived on the ship less than 1 hour after leaving our hotel. There were 6 people in our traveling party, and we were ALL extremely impressed with the ship as a whole. The public spaces were spotless, the staterooms were very roomy, and the amenities unmatched by the other cruise lines we have traveled on (Princess and NCL).

FOOD: This was the one big disappointment for our cruise. Overall, the food in the dining room was OK but not spectacular. Some dishes were big hits, others were big misses. We felt that many of the entrees were overcooked or poorly seasoned. But desserts were a standout. Also, there was a big difference in quality between the main dining room and specialty restaurants (which we expected, but we did not expect such a disparity). QSine and Tuscan Grille were fantastic, but the Lawn Club Grill was so-so.
