Our transatlantic cruise from Miami to Rome on the Celebrity Reflection April-May 2017.
Globally the cruise was okay, but to take advantage of the first 7 days at sea you had to speak English. The first seven days are important because all activates and ship life is on the ship. Since all activities except a few gym activities required English many where deprived of the advantages offered to ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary (Miami to early off in Villefranche), the price, and one past experience with Celebrity which was mostly positive.
The embarkation was smooth and efficient. Welcome buffet was good, and our stateroom was available earliest than usual. Our steward met us in the room, answered questions and began two weeks of excellent service. The room (deck 3, middle of ...
We chose this cruise because we had such a good experience last year in a suite on a Mediterranean trip. A few things have changed since last year that we do not feel were for the better. The butler service for suites is greatly reduced, the special restaurant Luminae was crowded and often too full to get a reservation during the usual eating hours for most Americans(6 to 8 pm). The cruise line ...
The ports on this cruise were attractive even though we had already been to Tenerife and Malaga. We have friends in Malaga so this was a good opportunity to catch up with them.
We boarded after 2 pm so there was no wait at all to board; very efficient procedure and our bags were in the cabin within a couple of hours.
Service by the cabin attendant was at the usual high level. He was very ...
This is our 8th cruise. Three on Celebrity, three on Royal Caribbean, one on Norwegian and one Carnival.
I teetered on giving an overall "3" or "4".
The ship is absolutely beautiful! This is our first Concierge stateroom and we were very satisfied with the size, balcony and the big plus was the shower!
My husband and I are are mid fifty age and if I had knowledge that transatlantic ...
Our first Celebrity and not that impressed after 8 prev cruises on other lines.
The biggest disappointment was the CONSTANT hocking all the extra services!.
We had 3 phone calls and two written invites for the "Art Auction" aka Ripoff.
Plus Any time dinning was an absolute joke, they could not accommodate the number of people signed up, then both the dinning room and hotel managers blamed ...
This was a first for us with Celebrity and a trans-atlantic. We sailed the Celebrity Reflection. Our balcony cabin was adequate. Great layout in the bathroom.
We have sailed RCL and well as Princess, Carnival and Regent. I expected a high level of service. But was very disappointed. Our room attendant was great. But as for our waiter and other staff in the dining room. Worst I've ever ...
Celebrity Reflection
The vessel is very pretty but seems to have wasted a lot of space with grass on the upper deck which might have been put to better use. There are some other oddities e.g., the central area of the ship which extends upward from deck three is a major entertainment venue. They have a great band (Xtosea) with music for dancing. However, the space that is the dance floor is way ...
First of all let me preface by saying I have been on at least 45 ships of all types and classes and many destinations except transatlantic because I have a sensitive stomach. Embarkation was quick and smoth, lunch buffet was very busy but we found a table and food was very good. We picked a mid ship verandah cabin 66230 on deck six for less movement and we had a great service crew. On ...
