Celebrity Reflection

September 2019 - 12 Night Italy & Greek Isles (Barcelona Roundtrip) Cruise on Celebrity Reflection

Remarkable

This was the second leg of a back to back on the Mediterranean. Every side trip was a new adventure. We loved meeting the people and experiencing what each stop had to offer. It was interesting to watch history come alive and to learn how other countries are currently faring under their governments.

Disappointing

We will not be cruising again for a long time, maybe never. Covid made things very difficult with testing and Canadian requirements. People are not careful when they are sick, making it easy to spread communicable illnesses. We are currently sick and in quarantine in Canada for 10 days. The trip to the ER was expensive as is staying quarantined in a hotel during peak season. This has disrupted our travel for a trip we had piggybacked out of Vancouver, for which we may or may not be reimbursed. It is unlikely we will ever be back in the area for the missed trip. Too costly. Masks, vaccinations and boosters were no protection. Buses, trains and dining rooms were all filled to capacity. You save, plan and then all falls to ruin due to the carelessness of others.

Cruise tips

Ketchikan, Alaska

Misty Fjords tour. Good tour but liked the narration on the Kenai tour better. Maybe guide/narrator was more seasoned

Skagway, Alaska

Took train up and back. Narrator did an excellent job with history. Got some great waterfalls shots and scenery.

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

Guide was enthusiastic and did a great job with the history and lore of the town. It was only a half a tour though as there were no performances or sharing by the locals in the cultural center that day. So five stars for the guide and 3 for what the tour encompassed.

Juneau, Alaska

This was my favorite day. The Glacial Gardens were amazing. They are now my favorite gardens in the whole world. Absolutely stunning for a garden bug.

Cruise Hubbard Glacier

Capt. Theo got us close enough for some fabulous pictures. It had a very ethereal look with the blues and ice in the water.

Seward (Anchorage), Alaska

Kenai Fiords excursion was excellent. Captain excelled at getting us close to the glaciers and seeing wildlife.

3 pieces of advice-Study deck maps so you know how to get from one end of the ship to the other. Be prepared for tours where the bus is filled to capacity and some people are sick. Bring warm weather clothing, including thermals and rain gear. Be prepared for damp chilly, sunless weather.

Rhodes, Greece

Nice surprise. A lot of people didn't think there was much to do, but we saw some lovely ruins and then walked around in the medieval city.

Valletta, Malta

Liked it, but it was a rough day there and we had a boat trip. So glad no one fell off the boat as the waves pounded the boat.

Barcelona, Spain

We stayed in Barcelona for a week before boarding the ship. Everything we saw and did was wonderful. We used a company called Viator for our trips.

Mykonos, Greece

Absolutely charming. Our guide was an archeologist who gave an amazing tour. Very knowledgeable.

Check into non-Celebrity excursions. (We used Marriott last time) Touring with a busload of people can be trying. Most of the buses had very cramped seating. If you have long legs it is not good.ed
