Review summary
We had a great cruise! Our first time in the Retreat, so it was our largest cabin and was at the port (left) rear corner of the ship. We had a traditional balcony that was worth the price for the views! As for the rest of the cruise...The service was excellent, but I did feel they were understaffed as there were some times when we did see staff asking for our drink orders in the Martini Bar area and the Solarium. This was our 4th Celebrity cruise (Done: 1 Ascent (Europe), 2 Beyond (1 Europe), and 1 Reflection) and our 10th overall cruise! We've also done 4 Royal Caribbean, 1 Carnival, and 1 MSC cruises! So...It was our first non-Edge class Celebrity cruise, so we noticed the non-Edge parts of the ship and believe the Edge layout is newer and more feature-oriented. We do think the Reflection is a beautiful ship and was a great ship in its on way! Our next cruise will be a fabulous 12-night Celebrity Apex cruise, July 11, 2026 Norwegian Fjords & Arctic Circle, Sat Jul 11, 2026, to Thu Jul 23, 2026! My lovely wife, Sharon and I, love Celebrity! This will be our 5th Celebrity cruise (Done: 1 Ascent (Europe), 2 Beyond (1 Europe), and 1 Reflection) and our 11th overall cruise! We've also done 4 Royal Caribbean, 1 Carnival, and 1 MSC cruises!
