Our family cruised March 9-16, 2013 on the Celebrity Reflection to San Juan, St Maarten, and St Kitts. This trip was our third Celebrity cruise. We had cruised on the Celebrity Solstice in 2011 and the refurbished Celebrity Summit in 2012 on our previous cruises. We had high expectations before going and our expectations were all exceeded.
Embarkation: We arrived at the Port of Miami at 11:00 am and the check-in process was smooth and efficient. However, we had to wait in line against the wall for over 30 minutes before being allowed to board the ship.
Ship: The Celebrity Reflection is a brand-new, state-of-the-art ship that incorporates elegance, functionality and a touch of class on every level. It is well laid-out. The food is at the aft or back (the Opus Main Dining Room on the 3rd and 4th level, the Tuscan Grille, Blu, Qsine and Murano on the 5th level, the Oceanview Cafe on the 14th level), the money is in the middle (shops, art gallery and casino) and the entertainment is at the front (Reflection Theater on the 3rd, 4th and 5th deck, Celebrity Central on the 4th level).
Our cabin was 7272 and located midship on deck 7, just around the corner from the Hideaway Lounge and the elevators. The bed was comfortable and the room was well designed. Our attendant was Leslie. We enjoyed sitting on our balcony looking at the ocean.
