We like Celebrity and this was a dream come true itinerary for our honeymoon. Reflection is a beautiful ship and her crew is fantastic. We ate at almost every venue that the ship has to offer, from the Oceanview Cafe (buffet) to the specialty restaurant Murano. (We were in a standard cabin, so no Blu or Luminae for us.) We were underwhelmed with our dinner at the Lawn Club Grill, but everywhere ...
Early flight meant a taxi pick up at 2.30am arrived and printed boarding cards then had to wait an hour for the bag check in to open. That done another wait for the gate number , boarding was the usual scrum ( why does it have to be like that? ) luckily Rome is only a 2 hour flight so avoided the extras on food and drink. On arrival we were impressed with the number of celebrity staff on hand to ...
Review of Celebrity Reflection cruise through the Greek Isles 29 Sep to 9 Oct 2017
My wife and I were on a 10 day cruise on the Celebrity Reflection from Civitavecchia (Rome) through the Greek Isles and return. The cruise was booked through Costco travel. My review will address the major areas of the cruise.
Itinerary
The cruise went from Civitavecchia to Messina, Malta, Rhodes, Mykonos, ...
The Celebrity Reflection is a great ship, well designed and beautifully maintained. Embarkation was a breeze because we came early and boarded with no lines.
Stateroom was fine for a small cabin and bathroom, but it functioned well.
We dined in Blu most of the time and the service and food were excellent. Broad selection and good choice of wines. Occasionally we went to the buffet because ...
Where to start? We are a couple in our 50s who have cruised quite a bit, not just on Celebrity but other lines as well. We had been planning for this cruise for over a year and all of our plans worked out great. We flew into Rome 3 days early to spend more time and see things we didn't see several years ago. As always, Rome is just a spectacular place to visit, but it takes a lot of energy and ...
This is our second cruise with Celebrity after Alaska last year and we were very impressed. Organisation and cleanliness of the ship was first rate and the staff were very helpful and the level of service was excellent.
If you are looking for a cruise with a limited number of sea days and many interesting ports of call this one is the one for you. A good mix of quiet Greek islands to explore ...
This was our first time on Celebrity and we were very impressed. We have traveled on smaller, more exclusive lines and the ship and the experience on Celebrity were clearly better. The ship was large but that just meant more room to move around. It was always possible to get away from the crowds. The departures and arrivals related to the shore excursions were well planned and executed. These ...
This was a holiday to celebrate my 60th birthday and we were able to combine it with our 32nd wedding anniversary.
The holiday started with a huge thunderstorm as we approached Civitavecchia but that's the last we saw of rain until the cruise finished. The boarding was slightly delayed due to flooding within the boarding hall but once the rain cleared it was fairly straightforward and ...
We had a wonderful time on this cruise, our first time on a Celebrity ship. We started our trip with four days in Rome, it was just enough time to see everything we wanted to see. An amazing city.
Ship was quite elegant, with many public areas to relax. Cabin was great, service was excellent. Crew was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the silent disco party and other activities on board. ...
On September 1, 2017 my wife and I took the 10-night Italy & Greek Isle cruise on board the Celebrity Reflection. We had sailed with Celebrity many times before, most recently on the Eclipse to the Caribbean, but this was our first cruise on the Reflection and our first trip to Europe. We traveled with another couple, spent three glorious days in Rome before boarding the ship, and had a totally ...
