i recently took 13 members of my family on this cruise. (ages 8-65) I had taken celebrity before and liked the food and the ambiance of the ship. We traveled AQUA class last time but because there were 3 or more in each room we could not take AQUA class but paid extra for concierge class.
We had balcony rooms on deck 10 which were near the library. We were close to the pool and cafeteria so these ...
CELEBRITY REFLECTION 2/21/2015
BACKGROUND
We live in Texas and travel on a cruise with a large group every other year. Our ages range from 50's to mid sixties. Usually, we sail out of San Juan but we wanted to try a larger ship and we decided on Reflection based on the Cruise Critic reviews. Also, we thought sailing out of Miami would be different.
MIAMI
We arrived in Miami a day before our ...
Prior to our cruise, we had heard great things about Celebrity and the Reflection. Some people were so excited for us that we were sailing on the Reflection. Sadly, the ship just doesn't live up to the hype.
We had booked Aqua Class. The cabin was nicely appointed and spotless. It was small. Really small. We have previously sailed on Holland America and the smaller cabin size on the Reflection ...
Did not live up to the hype. Poor value for the money. If I hadn't known already that this was a Celebrity ship, I would have figured that I was on a Carnival one. At least then I would have known that I hadn't overpaid for it.
Pluses: Overall cleanliness and condition of ship. Cabin (inside) location and comfort. Frozen/frosted bar surface at Martini Bar with Martini Flight show (5 different 3 ...
The following narrative includes a balanced review of our recent trip on the Celebrity Reflection during the period November 15-22, 2014.
The cruising party included 4 couples, all of which are seasoned travelers. My partner and I had taken a cruise on the Celebrity Eclipse during its inaugural New Year’s Eve cruise and really enjoyed the quality of service and layout of the Solace class ...
When I checked into my stateroom I was appalled at how filthy the room was. On the vanity chair and inside the vanity drawer were piles of long black human HAIR. The wine glasses in the room were filthy and there was dust on every surface. There was a huge stain running down the bedskirt with some mystery crust as well!! I had to call to have housekeeping come back and actually prepare my room for ...
We are experienced cruisers in the Premier class of ships. Our initial experience set the tone for the trip: as soon as we crossed the ship's threshold we were being sold water/beverage packages.
Reduced Cabin & Balcony Size:
Our Concierge Class cabin with a balcony was dramatically smaller than the same class of room in comparable ships we'd sailed on. The small balcony failed to provide the ...
my brief thoughts about the reflections
the ship was beautiful and very clean
the food was not as good as other celebrity cruises or even other lines. the buffet food was not good at all. there were not that many choices in one night to choose from - on other ships there was always 2 or 3 choices. the desserts were underwhelming I will say though my waiter went out of his way to try and please ...
My wife and I just returned from the seven day cruise aboard the Reflection to the Eastern Caribbean. First the positives -- almost all of the staff were very nice, especially our stateroom attendant Salvador; Michael, our waiter and Luiza, the matre d' in the main dining room. The ship was very clean and the stateroom spacious. The drink prices are very reasonable, unlike what we've experienced ...
