My wife and I were fortunate to spend 7 fabulous days on Reflection from 1/5/13 to 1/12/13 which was the ship's tenth cruise. It is a truly beautiful ship. I am not going to write a traditional review on this voyage, but instead I would direct you to the long review written by Artemis on this board. I agree with what he wrote. Instead I thought I would just share some tips and experiences I hope you will find useful on your cruise.

Embarkation: Very smooth for Aqua Class. Arrived at 10:30 a.m., no line for Aqua Class check-in. Waited approximately 45 minutes and were escorted onto the ship by a Celebrity employee. We entered Reflection on deck 5 and went immediately to Bistro on Five where we had a relaxed meal until our cabin was ready. I also learned that The Porch is also open for embarcation day meals on deck 15. These are both good alternatives to the crowded and chaotic OceanView buffet.

Aqua Class: This was our first time in Aqua Class. This is my new preferred style of travel on Celebrity. Our cabin was as advertised with all amenities we expected. We asked for the firm pillows from the pillow menu and our cabin steward was there within 30 minutes with memory foam pillows. We asked for cheese and crackers instead of canapes and we received a plate of 3-4 types of cheeses with grapes, dried fruit, and crackers each day. I really enjoyed the shower tower. The jets were forceful and helped ease those sore knees and muscles after our port days. We also had our breakfast delivered to our room on one occasion and our steward had it there on time and correct and set it up on our veranda for us to enjoy. Read more
