Sail Date: Jun 2015
Cabin: Deluxe Ocean View with Verandah 1B

Great ports of call and lovely ship but there seems to be a creeping system of 'money aparteid' being practiced on the Reflection with passengers being separated according to how much money they're willing to spend on all the extras.

If you have the money you can access all areas, eat in all the restaurants, take part in all the fitness, computer or art classes and have priority embarkation and disembarkation, the rest are well looked after but limited.

Unfortunately this is a backward step to the days of 1st, 2nd and steerage class and I would rather pay a higher price for the cruise than be asked for extra (plus tips) throughout the voyage. Although the ship is beautiful and provides a high level of comfort for all, the charges for things which were free on the Eclipse like the main lawn and the yoga or pilates classes add up and are irritating. Celebrity obviously find this worthwhile doing and people are happy to pay to be different but it doesn't appeal or seem fair to me.

Cabin 1B

Great cabin, perfectly situated midships and close to elevators but very quiet. Very little movement felt but seas were calm. Would chose it again.
