Background information: We are a couple in our early 40s who travel extensively, love cruising with Celebrity and Disney and enjoyed our 3rd sailing on the Reflection.

We booked on a previous Celebrity cruise for a different sailing but changed to this itinerary about 45 days before sailing. We had never been to Panama or Columbia. I do wish the ship had dome a partial transit of the canal but that was my bad for not researching prior to booking.We love the 2 perks we got to choose- truly it makes it a no brainer to sail with Celebrity the beverage package is the best out there. Water, juice, sodas, hot drinks, if you wanted alcohol or mocktails all of it was included.

Aqua VS Concierge: We generally prefer Aqua Class for Blu and the Persian Gardens however it was not available and did Concierge class deck 10. We prefer the front of the ship this time we were starboard side. I enjoyed the pillow options and having some help with reservations for activities and dining. The welcome lunch was a nice touch. We did specialty dining and didn't miss Blu like we had feared. We did miss the anti fog mirror in Aqua class. I would book either in the future depending on the focus for the cruise. Read more
