Review summary

We enjoyed a wonderful cruise on the Celebrity Reflection from 1/31-2/7/2015.   The food was some of the best we've ever had on a cruise ship.  Due to the fact that we were so satisfied with the food, we decided to not eat at any of the specialty restaurants.  Our weather while on ship was less than ideal (very windy), but that is not the fault of Celebrity!   There were three days that we were not able to sit outside by the pool.   The only complaint I/we had was that the stores onboard did NOT have a wide variety of cruise wear (which I was hoping to pick up some tops, etc).   I would have liked to have had some choice in color (other than black) for tops and some exciting/glitzy tops to choose from!   We enjoyed the ports of St. Thomas and St. Maarten, however our late arrival (due to wind) at San Juan was disappointing, as most shops were already closed.   All in all a successful cruise onboard the Reflection.

Excellent food and variety of choices.

Our cabin stewart (Andrew) did a great job keeping our cabin cleaned up and clean!

There were lots of little "corners" and hideaway places on ship to read and get away from the crowds.

We arrived late (5 pm or later) --- didn't find much to do there and although the ship didn't depart until 11 pm, I think most people were back on board within 1-2 hours.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Always a pleasure shopping the jewelry shops!

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

Was a little disappointing after being in St. Thomas. We did take an island tour and saw both sides of the island. Tour guide (Jimmy) was a pleasure and easy to understand.

I, too wish that there were more of a selection in cruise wear on ships.  I have purchased items in ship shops and would do s more often with my on board credits but there is limited choices.  Thanks for sharing.  Gloria
