We just finished another great Celebrity Cruise on the Reflection. This was our second Celebrity Cruise, it would be difficult to try another cruise company, and we have already confirmed an Eastern Mediterranean cruise with Celebrity in July.

We stayed at the Marriott Biscayne Bay the night before embarkation at Miami, enjoyed the hotel, and the 24th floor view of the bay, South Beach, and the cruise ships entering the terminal docks. It was very easy to get a cab from the hotel to the cruise terminal, and the drive was only about 10 minutes. There was very little congestion and the porters took our bags quickly. We entered the terminal at 10:45 Am and went directly to the counter for check in. We were booked in concierge class and had no lines whatsoever. We then had to wait in a special seated area, until a little after 11:00, and then easily boarded the ship.

We went to the Ocean View Café to have quick lunch, our room was ready before 1:00, and our luggage arrived shortly after. Very organized. Read more
