Review summary

This was my 4th cruise and 1st with Celebrity. It won't be my last! The ship was beautiful and the crew could not have been more friendly! Without exception! All smiles, from the cabin stewards to the officers encountered around the ship. Everything was kept very clean; the food was very good and a nice variety offered each evening. Ate at Qsine and it was fabulous and VERY fun! Highly recommend it. Don't miss Hector's show nightly at the Martini Bar--he is a jewel in the crown of the Reflection with his personality, entertainment and talent.

We visited every port and selected the "milder" excursions due to age and ability. The Acropolis (Athens) - magnificent; Ephesus (Turkey) somewhat strenuous but so worth it; Shopped, ate and walked the shopping "alleys" (Rhodes); toured Santorini by bus--magnificent views from the cliffs above the sea; same with Mykonos -- beautiful islands. In Sicily, you must visit the church in the town square (it's a ship tour.) At noon the 16,000 pipe organ plays Ave Maria to a wonderful display of figures moving about within the bell tower. Also, the treasures in its upstairs museum are unparalled. The guide explains it all. The Turks won't let you just window shop; they bug you to death about buying something. Shopping is much more enjoyable on the Greek Islands. I did purchase some spices in Turkey, however. From Naples, we took the all-day tour of the Amalfi Coast by bus -- very beautiful! We spent 3 days in Rome prior to the cruise and had time to see most of the wonders of the city...St. Peter's Basilica is not to be missed and of course, the Colisseum. Hope this helps.
