Overall I enjoyed my first cruise with Celebrity and I will be back on one of their ships in the future. If they added some more activities to their daily schedule this might be my new favorite cruise line.

Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The pastries at the Coffee shop on deck 5 were outstanding!!! I had one of their donuts every day.
Best buffet food I’ve had on a cruise ship and the main dining room was also delicious! The mast grill was a quick and easy option for burgers and dogs which were good.
The one downfall would be the little cakes in the buffet for dessert. The texture is weird and I didn’t like any of the three I tried.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
What they offered was fun but I wish they offered more. With Celebrity entering the short cruise/family cruise market I think they need more for families or adults who just like to stay busy.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
This was going to be a 5 until the last night when they performed Broken Strings. The singers and dancers were phenomenal but they couldn’t save a boring show with weird song choices.
This might be my first show I’ve seen on 10+ cruises with different cruise lines that I would not see again if I return to the Celebrity Reflection.
But the Broadway cabaret show, comedian and magician were all 5 stars and very enjoyable. Plus the live music around the ship was nice.

Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Staterooms need some T&C but other than that the public areas of the ship I thought were top notch!!
I will also note as a non smoker I thought the smoking areas were not well hidden. One is right near the sunset bar. Beautiful views but it smells awful!!! Went once and that was it. Also one is on deck 5 near the theatre and they keep the theatre doors open and from time to time you could smell it while trying to enjoy a show. Needless to say we only sat on deck 5 once.
I also want to point out a positive. I noticed by the pool (adult and family) there were always crew members there with a squeegee making sure the floor was not slippery. BRAVO!!!

Ship tip
They have a late night buffet which most cruise lines have gotten rid of. It usually included pizza, pasta, salad, sandwiches, ice cream and other desserts. This was nightly from 10pm to 2am!!
First time going and it was fun. Got right off the ship at 7:30 and took a 30 minute walk to the southern most point. No wait at all and the breeze there was fantastic!!!
Only downfall was I felt a lot of stores didn’t open until 10 or 11 which means we had a lot of downtime but we killed that time by just wandering around the streets looking at the roosters🐓
Best cruise line private island hands down!!! The food was delicious, we saw a sting ray while snorkeling at chill island and the pool is nice and relaxing if you prefer that over the ocean.
I would pick this island over other cruise lines in a second!!
