I've never met a cruise I didn't like, but now that I'm a seasoned cruiser, I have experience to draw on. My first Celebrity cruise was on the century in 1998. It set a high standard, mainly because it was our maiden voyage. The Reflection, though a mega ship, seemed smaller to me because of all the dining places that take space, that I would not dare pay extra to patronize. My choice, and am glad others feel like they get bang for their up charge buck. No thanks for me.

I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience as it was in the opus and ocean view buffet. The entertainment was decent, (voices were ok,) but not exceptional,although I did enjoy the Tenors of Rock. They left me wanting more. Show was only 45 minutes. I dont know if the septuagenarians, a seeming majority of the cruise clients, fully appreciated the rockers! Weather was marginal, but one can always enjoy a cruise no matter the wind, the clouds, and alternate ports. ( Nassau instead of private beach). Visited the work out facility most days. Ok but was frustrated by non functioning touch screens. Hey, at least I didn't have to pay extra to visit their gym!

Our veranda 6144 was nice but because of the weather, we did not spend much time on it. Embarkation was the best ever, shore excursions were self directed ( taxi's to free beaches) Read more
