Sail Date: May 2017
Cabin: Deluxe Ocean View with Verandah 1A

At first we were concerned about the number of passengers on the Reflection. What a surprise. There were no lines or delays at all. We Really enjoyed the main dining room. Our wait staff was excellent and we scored a wonderful table for two. I can't understand some reviews that said the food was bland (carrots and green beans) as were never experienced that. Perhaps the reviewer forgot you can order just about anything as a side.

One more note regarding lunch on board, there is always an Indian option in the self serve restaurant. We opted for three dinners in the specialty restaurants, all good, but the Tuscan Grill was by far our favorite. My only complaint is that I ate more food in these restaurants.

The ship iitself is modern and beautiful, One floor has a game area, another a nice library, our floor (7) has a cozy area with 24 hour coffee. Again, lots of options to sit, read, etc. bars are all really nice, our favorite was the Sunset on the very back of the ship.

Cabin 1A

Not large. Was very manageable, loved the balcony.

Port Reviews

La Spezia (Cinque Terre)

We took the hustle and then walked to the train station. Only visited three towns, as it started to look like rain.

Barcelona

We enjoyed, actually awed the Sagrada, it is truly breathtaking. Tour was very slow but worth it as we got right in

Gibraltar

Loved Gibraltar, I ordered tickets for the tram, and still had a 25 minute wait to get up. I think tour groups got on before the rest of us. A taxi ride (at the taxi are people were looking for more passengers). Also, take the shuttle when you get off the boat it brings you a lot closer to the town center. The apes are a hoot, do not have food they will be all over you.

Malaga

We enjoyed this port, easy to walk in.

Cartagena (Spain)

Not much happening here, easy to get around and enjoy the town.
