Review summary

For a 3-night cruise the Celebrity Reflection is a perfect size ship to relax and enjoy. Getting around the ship is easy and they have enough things to see and do. they also have plenty of bars so getting a drink is quick and easy. So we ate, drank and laid in the sun mostly, that's a great 3 day trip.

Embarkation

Everyone was so nice. From when we were dropped off by taxi until we got onboard was only 30 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We tried the main dining room on the first night. We had an 8:45 pm reservation. It was very crowded, and you have to wait in a long line to see the hostess. We were seated at a table for 2 but the staff was busy handling large party tables so we were ignored. It took over 30 minutes just to get 2 glasses of wine. The menu did not have many choices. I got the steak and it was not good. We decided to enjoy the buffet on the next 2 nights. The buffet was one of the nicest ones we've had out of the 10 other cruises we've taken. It had a variety of fresh items. Fresh carved turkey, ham, pork belly and prime rib along with many other things.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

The pool area is kind of small on this ship, but they do have enough chairs for everyone to enjoy.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The shows were enjoyable and worth seeing. We really enjoyed the Boy Band Evolution show. they sang and danced to some of the great boy band songs. The DJ's and house band were very good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was very nice and always smiling and telling you hello.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin was a nice size and had enough storage for our stuff. The mattress and pillows were the best we've ever had on a cruise ship and most hotels.

Ship tip

Consider eating the buffet for dinner. this saves you time and you get a variety of items to choose from.
