We chose the Reflection because of the itinerary and the perks that were offered at the time. Even though the ship is huge, we never felt that it was crowded. The Aqua class cabin we had was very nice and our steward was always available if I needed something. We thought that we would eat at Blu a lot, but found that the offerings in the main dining room were more to our liking. However, we did ...
Embarkation was amazing from taxi to boarding was ten minutes,the Reflection was spotlessly clean,can't say enough about how friendly and efficient the crew were, the entertainment was pretty good the only negative things I had on this cruise was the food,everything in the buffet was luke warm,why can't they keep the food hot and why can't they cook a moist chicken breast,the chicken I had on my ...
We chose this cruise on Celebrity because we 1) Loved the itinerary and 2) are long time cruisers with Royal Caribbean and were told Celebrity was a step up from RCCL. While the ship (Reflection) was beautiful and the accommodations top notch, the best we can say about the rest of the cruise is meh!
First of all, the ports did not disappoint. We had a fabulous time at all of them. The ship ...
We arrived in Rome one day pre-cruise and stayed two days post-cruise. That was barely enough time to scratch the surface and I can't wait to return to Rome. But the next time, I'll go in January!!! Rome is very crowded, even in September.
We took the train from Termini to the port at Civitavecchia. Our train ticket cost five euros and I'd do the same thing next time. The train was on time ...
We chose this specific cruise for the Ports of Call. We have only been on one other cruise before (Royal Caribbean -- Alaska) -- and had a Wonderful experience.
We arrived in Rome a few days prior to our cruise and used a company called Bags Free (they met us at the airport, stored our larger suitcase, and brought it to the ship the day of sailing - it was in our room when we arrived. We ...
We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on Celebrity Reflection. The ship is of a very high standard and was spotless. Our cabin was of a high standard (we loved the balcony also) and it was kept beautifully by our cabin steward who was friendly (without being over-friendly) and was the first member of staff we met on the ship and he gave us a warm welcome which continued throughout our cruise. The food ...
This was our second Celebrity cruise of 8 cruises in total, and although they are on a par with Princess and P&O, there are definitely some strengths and weaknesses. The public areas were all very clean, modern and spacious, but the sunbed availability on sea days was not very good at all and I think that the layout of the ship didn't help this. I would agree with a previous reviewer that too much ...
Our first cruise with Celebrity having done 3 previous cruises with P & O, also the first time we had cruised in the Med.
Given the reputation that Celebrity have, I was expecting a level of quality higher than P & O but, whilst we enjoyed the cruise, I was a little disappointed.
Embarkation in Rome was seamless and from arrival we were in our cabin within 15 minutes. The cabin was very ...
PROS:
Very good food and good wine in the main dining room. Nice, attentive staff. We booked a table every night, easy and a good idea since we got the same table by a window every night. Never felt the need to go to the extra (expensive) fancy restaurants.
Café al Bacio on deck 5 had excellent coffee and delicious cakes.
Perfect breakfast buffet in Oceanview Cafe on deck 14. Nice to sit ...
Chose this cruise because of the date, which worked with a business conference, and the itinerary, as well as the price (friends wanted to join us, but by the time they looked into it, our promotion was gone and price had doubled). Had sailed on Azamara last year, which we loved for its great service, small size, and everything but Iand excursions included policy. Not on Celebrity, where staff ...
