My Partner and I were happy to return to cruising after a 2 1/2 year hiatus due to Covid. It was wonderful and Celebrity did not disappoint. This was our 5th cruise on Reflection (out of 41 cruises) over the years and we were glad to be back aboard. The ship was approximately 50% full and all passengers and staff were fully vaccinated. Overall, the ship was beautiful for her age. There were only a handful of children aboard.
The service and the food were excellent. We were served by Krishna (Waiter) and Anak (Asst. Waiter) and Nattha (Sommelier) (Table 144). All did a wonderful job and brought you whatever you wanted. We also had dinner in Murano's one night and lunch at The Porch one afternoon. Food was excellent in both venues. One suggestion - make reservations ahead of time, so you will not be disappointed.
The bar service was excellent. We met the ships' senior Bar Manager Tubi (Day 1) and he took good care of us the entire cruise. He was personable and very visible as were all the Officers. Sati in the Sky lounge also did a wonderful job. We had met Sati on a previous cruise years ago.
Our cabin Steward Wardan (Room 9231) did an excellent job. We had a few requests which he took care of daily and always had a big smile and appeared happy to be back aboard too. He seemed to think that he had taken care of us before on another cruise which is very possible.
