Just returned from a weeks cruise on the Reflection to the western Caribbean.
Started off with a few days in Miami where we had an excellent time. Just have to comment about miami airport - what a nightmare that is !
We arrived a bit early on the Saturday at 11, to embark. We did however, check in but then had to wait until 11.30. A few little hiccups, the check in person did not take our photo so we held up the queue when boarding and did not validate our bank card so we had to do this on the ship later on in the week. Then we had a torrential downpour on sail away but fortunately, as the ship was slightly late leaving, the rain was clearing up so sail away was ok. Cabins were ready at 1pm on the dot, sail away at 4pm.
At the front on the sticking out bit. Good view and not overlooked in any direction. No noise.
