Celebrity Reflection Reviews

it was a nice crouise ,but I was hoping something better from Celebrity. (I am a regular crouser of Royal Caribbean and I was weiting more difference from the two Companies)

Relaxing trip due to so many sea days. But that's what we enjoy and that's why we booked this cruise. Enjoyed the captain. He's a hoot!!!!!

Excellent cruise and ship. Staff very attentive and captain hilarious. Food was great in the main dining room. Would not recommend Qsine or the Lawn Grill specialty restaurants. Shows were very entertaining.

We enjoyed the cruise and look forward to our next one!

Overall the cruise was excellent. Food ,entertainment ,staff were all excellent. I just think the constant soliciting of additional packages was annoying and the cost for laundry and ironing were inflated.

This is by far the best Cruise Ship I have been on. Never felt crowded. All the crew were great. The only negative aspect of the cruise was the lost time in Rhodes due to crew member jumping off ship.

Always wonderful on Celebrity. Staff and service is the best.

This was a wonderful cruise with great ports of call. And I feel October is a great time as it is not too hot, and not too cold! Also, I’m quite sure the crowds must be terrible during the summer. I feel we were quite spoiled since we had a little suite, and we had a butler who went out of his way to make every moment the most enjoyable. We had a fantastic package and everything was included, so we did not have to think about every little expense. All in all, a great cruise!

This is our first Celebrity cruise experience and I must say it was a wonderful one. We had cruised 7x w other cruise lines and was able to compare the difference and we’re pretty happy we tried Celebrity this time. We are looking forward to doing Celebrity in the future

Great cruise EXCEPT for room placement i.e. very first room in front of ship and traveling companions placed on opposite side of ship. And we booked over a year before the cruise. Somehow our rooms were changed from the time we booked to when we sailed.

Easy on and easy off! The only problem that I had was trying to convince the cruise staff that I did not need to arrive at the Rome airport 2+ hours in advance for my TrenItalia train to Florence!

Overall, the cruise was excellent, very friendly & helpful staff! Love the Solarium option! However Having cruised quite often we are disappointed that the Dining room food quality & selection has dropped off considerably!! Obviously this is due to to the constant staff promoting the select expensive restaurant options at the dining room entrance... annoying! If this is the marketing plan, It will affect my decision re cruises in future!!!

Wonderful cruise. Enjoyed the massage in the spa. Food was great. Enjoyed the excursions we booked. Need better entertainment at night. Embarkation and disembarkation was great. No hassle at all.

This was an outstanding cruise! The staff were outstanding in every way. I appreciated their eagerness to serve and make our vacation a top priority in enjoyment.

It is apparent that the cruise industry is forgetting about the comforts of the cruiser too better their bottom line.

We had an amazing trip. We combined a few days in Rome beforehand with the 6 night cruise and it gave us a great overview of stops we might not have visited. Our cabin (sky suite) was a nice size and the food, especially in Murano, was better than expected. We traveled with 12 people and it made things very easy since there was a span in ages from 9 to 57. There was something for everyone. The kids club and teen lounge didn't completely appeal to our kids this time around. While the cruise was family friendly, it was a more sophisticated vibe and the young ones were a bit bored. The boys spent a great deal of time between the pool and the basketball court. They would have loved some nightly organized sport events in lieu of the lounge. The young women (18) were happy to tag along with us old people and do Karaoke and Silent Disco (fun). Our favorite stops were Rome (but we didn't consider it a stop since we were there 3 days before boarding), La Spezia (Cinque Terre was amazing), Nice and Corsica. We went into every port. I was not a fan of Sardinia as I found the city over run with graffiti and it didn't have the same feel as the other ports. Naples is not one of my favorites either, but we chartered a boat for the day and went to Capri and had our most enjoyable day there. Overall, I thought the value for the investment was amazing. We spent less on this cruise and were able to upgrade to a suite with a premium beverage package for much less than most cruises. I checked prices on future sailings and haven't seen as good a deal on anything at this time. I would recommend this cruise to my friends and family in the future.

Our dinner (Opus) servers were exceptional -- Xavier, and especially Naik, who deserves to become a head waiter. He was professional yet genuine. Our "bar server", Alexandra, was also exceptional, guiding us through the confusion of our Elite allowances, and being especially warm and patient. Kudos to all. Didn't like having to deal with Shore Excursions with loud music next door!

Stunning ports of call, an amazing engineering marvel of a ship, gracious local people and an amazing cruise staff.

Everything about the cruise was great from start to finish. Embarkation was fast and easy. Getting to the ship from the train wasn't that easy. There was a Celebrity cruise person there that would take us by bus for 2 Euros per person. I seriously wish we had done that. We made it on eventually though. The ship was fantastic. Very clean, modern, and updated. We felt the staff was first and foremost the best part of Celebrity. Everyone we encountered remembered our names and bent over backwards to make us eel special. We truly enjoyed the company of the staff. The food was also superb! We felt that the quality of the food alone was reason to return as well. We loved the presentation and attention to detail, but above all the food itself was tasty and fresh. There was always something for everyone at the table to enjoy no matter what your taste or preference was. The cruise was organized well and we felt that the ship ran like a well-oiled machine. There really wasn’t any downside. We felt the entertainment was lacking a little bit, but not enough to deter us from not booking a cruise on this ship again. The entertainers themselves were great; the talent of the entertainers was definitely there. We just thought the shows themselves were lacking. Perhaps doing a rendition of a shortened Broadway show would have been better than just singers singing random songs from Broadway. They were great, but there wasn’t really a show it was just people singing songs, at least in our opinion. We loved the comedian Phil and the guest act Flyboys. Both were unique and we loved seeing them and would see them again in the future. We also really enjoyed the Solarium and adult only section of the ship. That was probably our favorite part of the ship! Everything was so clean and we appreciated the effort to keep the ship sanitary. The bathroom attendants were great and I loved the buttons to open the doors and the effort to keep paper towel use at a minimum with rolled cloth towels was very classy. Attendants would clean the bathrooms frequently and hand sanitizer was enforced before entering each dining area as well as before you returned onto the ship from port. I would love if there were a decrease in the use of plastic straws. We felt that they were unnecessary, but we applauded Celebrity’s dedication to recycling efforts throughout the ship. The captain was Greek and had a sense of humor about him. Disembarkation was smooth and flawless. We used the overpriced Celebrity bus shuttle to the airport because we didn't want any hassles and it was very easy. No hiccups at all. Ports of call were excellent. We loved every single place we visited. We mostly did things on our own based on prior research. We booked excursions privately for the most part. We did a transfer to Taormina because we were afraid about getting back on time. The time was really on 2, 2.5 hours in Taormina for $65. Not the best, but they did make a note when I complained to the shore excursion desk. The other was Athens tour of Acropolis and the Lake. This ended up being such a fantastic excursion! We loved the relaxation of the lake after sweating in the hot sun on top of the Acropolis. The guide and bus driver were also fantastic! Shore excursions were a little overpriced, but overall happy we did them. Highly recommend this vacation. You won't be disappointed.

Second cruise on this ship in 12-month period. Enjoyed it very much. It should be called "A foodie's dream cruise" because all the visited locations had simply amazing food options.
