We had previously cruised with Norwegian and Princess and was looking for a step up in terms of service and food etc, I can safely say after 10 nights on board, the search is still ongoing.
Embarkation- This was a breeze we arrived at the port of Rome around 11am and we was on board by 11.30am and eating our first meal in the Oceanview Buffet, they do tend to like you to go up to this area as ...
We have done many cruises with Celebrity and this was one of the best embarkation was very slick and we were onto the ship literally within 15 minutes of entering the cruise terminal, full marks to Celebrity here!
It just felt like being back home it was a few years since we had cruised on Reflection but we really like the ship it just felt good to be back.
This was our first time in a ...
Had a great time. Ship was wonderful. Enjoyed every meal in Blu and met some new friends there too. Service was top notch. Cabin was excellent as were all the ports. Meeting folks online before the cruise and then in person at the sail away made a huge positive difference. Ship was clean at all times too. Only negative was the poor quality of the entertainment. We only saw one show in the ...
Recommended and highly rated by family member who cruised with the Reflection 12 months earlier.
All crew members went out of their way to make everyone feel very important and special. Our personal thanks to our Stateroom Concierge, Hipolito, who was extremely attentive to our every need and went above and beyond our expectations.
On observing overall crew behaviour they treated each ...
We haven't cruised since 2006 and decided to treat ourselves for our 30th wedding anniversary. From start to finish everything was perfect - arrival quayside we were in our cabin in 10mins. Cabin was fantastic and bowled over by all the space, warrdrtobe, cupboards, drawers right down to the bathroom with excellent shower facilities with Gilchrist & Soames toiletries. Balcony was way bigger than ...
We wanted to see the Greek Isles and more of Italy since we had only had 1 other trip to Italy 6 years ago. We choose Celebrity for the wonderful reputation the line has, as this was our first cruise with them. The ship was large but never seemed too crowded. Getting on and off for tours was a breeze, even though we booked all of our port tours on our own and not through the ship (way less ...
This was a wonderful vacation for us, one of the best, and it's difficult to separate the boat from the ports we visited. This was our first time to this part of the world and now we can scratch Pompeii, the Parthenon, and the Greek isles off our bucket list.
As to the boat, there was much to like and very little to take issue with. As big as it is, we rarely felt the presence of so many ...
Stayed in Rome for three days prior to cruise. Had a lovely time, husbands first trip to Rome. Booked a taxi online to take us to civitavechia which arrived on time at 11.15. Had expected long journey to the port but in fact it only took an hour. Taxi dropped us right outside the baggage tent, as we had to get our labels for suitcases from the porters. This was done immediately, cases taken off us ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. It did not disappoint. The embarkation experience in Rome was very smooth. When we returned, we chose Early Departure and it could not have been more seamless. No lines; we simply walked off the ship and into the terminal. Celebrity Reflection is a beautiful ship and well maintained. We have come to expect a certain standard with Celebrity and ...
Pros:
- Immaculately clean ship
- only ~5 kids on the entire ship (pro for a kid-free vacation). This is not a kid-friendly cruise per say - stick to royal caribbean or carnival for kid activities
- premium drink package really pays for itself
- amazing service all over the ship
- food was amazing
- spa was a tranquil getaway
- the staff and crew went above and beyond to ...
