Celebrity Reflection Review
Outstanding musical entertainment for Mardi Gras "Celebrate with the CEO"
Review for the Western Caribbean Cruise on Celebrity Reflection
Starting from Fort Lauderdale is always our choice - such a lovely port. We stayed in Hollywood for 3 nights pre-cruise (see separate TripAdvisor review).
Mardi Gras in New Orleans was the highlight of this cruise. We chose it because we had never been to New Orleans. What a spectacle! And the Reflection made the most of it, with purple, green and gold decorations, events for all cruisers and especially for Captains Club, and the music. I can't say enough about "Big Mike"' musical director, band leader, trombone player par excellence! Also, Ray Brown Jr Jazz band, Danny Smart singer/guitar player, and Starlight Duo cello and violin were all fantastic.
Celebrity CEO Linda joined us in New Orleans, and again in Grand Cayman to celebrate International Women's Day. She is very enthusiastic and delightful to meet. We received useful "Celebrate with the CEO" gifts in our cabin almost every day!
Cabin Review
Deluxe Ocean View with Verandah 1A
Cabin 1A
Cabin was nicely designed, but we felt that use of space for cupboards could have been better. (Compared with Holland America. This is the ONLY thing that is better on Holland America).
Our cabin steward Dedy was the best we have ever had. He brought us fruit, wine glasses, water and ice, every day and was very attentive.
Port Reviews
Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
We stayed at Hollywood Beach Suites before the cruise, just south of Ft Lauderdale. Beautiful groomed beach, warm water, long walks, sunsets. Lots of nice cafes and restaurants all along the seafront. 21/2 mile boardwalk for bike riding or walking.
Cozumel
Walked down the road 10 minutes to the Sunset Bar. Great facilities for snorkeling right off the patio. Clean washrooms, showers, change area. good service from friendly waiters. $3 beers.
