I've been on more than 10 cruises, but didn't bother to count back when I started cruising 20 years ago. In that 2 decades, I've grown out of the party-party-party mood of the Carnival line, and enjoy the little things much more fully.
The spa experience is amazing. Aqua class gives the cruisers access to a special dining room where the cuisine is so good, I can't figure out why anyone ...
There were six of us, three middle aged couples from Canada (one of which was in a wheelchair). We have all been on several cruises, and I guess that is where my heading stems from. Celebrity has been our cruiseline of choice over the past few years to the Med a few times, and the Caribbean, and we are now Elite members. Nice perks include some free internet, laundry, etc.
We chose this ship ...
My wife and I had just sailed the Norwegian Epic for our honeymoon in September around the Mediterranean, which was amazing, and were not planning to take a cruise again for awhile. Being from the Northeast, we were looking for a vacation for March to get away from the snow. After shelling out big dollars for our honeymoon, we were looking for a deal (All inclusive in Mexico, The Caribbean, etc.) ...
Our flight to FLL and our bus transfer to Miami were all good. Check in was more complicated than on previous cruises. When we filled out our express pass long before going on the cruise we indicated which credit card we would use for any onboard charges but has to fill out a form when we were being checked in with the same info we had supplied previously, redundant and time consuming. All they ...
Great First Cruise on Celebrity! Veteran cruiser trying Celebrity Reflection (Feb 16 -- 23)
Background to review:
With our children grown and no longer cruising with us, we usually book a suite for the extra amenities offered. On this cruise, we booked the Aqua Class veranda room, deck 11, 1586.
Besides our Hawaii cruise on Pride of America, which was exceptional and our cruise on NCL ...
Let me start by saying no matter what I complain about in this review, I still know I am blessed to have been able to sail this cruise.
The Good and sometimes great.
This ship is beautiful, the food is fantastic and the specialty restaurants are worth every penny. The room was fantastic and the shower was even better.
This cruise left on my birthday and I could not have asked to have a ...
My wife and I had experience a GREAT trip nine months ago on the "Solstice" and with another couple, were looking forward to a sailing on this new ship.
In thinking back over the trip I have mixed feelings about the ship and the sailing. We booked an Aqua Suite which is not a full suite but a "mini-suite". That being said, the cabin itself was quite comfortable with lots and lots of storage ...
Some quick notes on Celebrity Refection. 7 night Eastern Caribbean in an Ocean View cabin on deck 3. Booked through Air Canada vacations with a super deal on airfare direct to Miami from YYZ.
We arrived in Miami at 12:30pm on departure day. Transfer was easy and embarkation process was a breeze. Cabin was ready when we boarded. We went to the Porch for lunch and enjoyed a light lunch.
I ...
This was my second cruise with Celebrity after doing a short cruise on the Millennium over a year ago. I booked the brand new Reflection hoping that a newer ship would be the antidote to my few complaints about Millie. I thought Millie was wonderful but it was right before the renovation and the wear and tear was obvious.
The Reflection is a beautiful, gleaming new ship. I have no complaints ...
The Celebrity Reflection is the 5th and last of the Solstice Class. The first ship of this class, the Solstice, was launched in 2008. Then every year, for the next five years, Celebrity launched a new ship of the same class: The Equinox in 2009, the Eclipse in 2010, the Silhouette in 2011 and finally the Reflection in 2012. All of these ships were built at the Meyer Werft Shipyard in ...
