This is the second time we cruised Celebrity Reflection, since it was new (October 2012) when we spent two weeks on this cruise on Mediterranean. Our 11- day cruise this time was better since there was not a repeat of meals and shows during the 11 days. The ship has aged well but it was in good shape. The toilet bowl showed black sign in some rooms.

This was our third cruise with Celebrity (2 with Reflection and one with Equinox) and we truly enjoyed ourselves every time. We chose this trip because of the itinerary – Dubrovnik, Kotor, Corfu, Katakolon, Messina, Naples and Florence. Our overall impression of the Celebrity experience is positive - this ship had some of the friendliest crew members we've encountered in a long time. Our Opus dinning room crew, Adhi and his wife Donna were top-notch. They were extremely attentive and fulfilled every request in a timely manner. They set the tone each day with a wide smile and friendly greeting. At the end of every dinner meal Donna briefed us the next day program in advance before leaving the room. Very appreciated.

We were told roughly 1800 passengers on this sailing of the Reflection, with over 1000 crew members on board. The service was AMAZING even not at the full capacity of 3 046. They were all so very happy to be sailing again after 2 years of unemployment. The senior officers were frequently visible and great to see. We were welcomed with the usual boarding drinks, cold napkin after every excursion.

Concierge Class 2

Not the most spacious in this category Veranda but the balcony has more room than Balcony category of other cruise lines

Port Reviews

Dubrovnik

The Old town with remparts was awesome. A must-see when tourists come here

Kotor

Like Dubrovnik The Old town with remparts was awesome. We took Hop-on Hop-Off with a stop in Perast to see The Lady of the Rock.

Corfu

What an bus adventure through a very narrow street and a magnificient stunning view of Corfu from hilltop Lakones town above.

Katakolon (Olympia)

Don't waste money to go to this ruin site comparing to Pompeii and Euphesius

Taormina (Messina)

This awesome town must not be missed. We bought some local gift items which were handcraftly beautiful and affordable priced comparing to Firenzi or Milano

Naples

Napoli city sightseeing is worth the money as it is very rich in history

Florence (Livorno)

Farmhouse experience was very relaxing and memorable
