The Vibe
The end of February was the perfect time to get out of Ohio’s winter weather and enjoy the sun and fun of the Celebrity Reflection! The ship boasts a classy, upscale feel. The live music, great service and the delicious food stand out.
How I Felt
As most people I know, I work a lot, sleep some and definitely do not get to relax much. While on the ship, there are many areas that do allow for the much-needed relaxation, and it was a nice change of pace. The Library was a favorite!
I always had the fantastic event and dining options at my fingertips, which takes away some anxiety. The Celebrity app gives guests most of the information needed, and the customer service teams are helpful for any changes to reservations. It was a very low stress type of travel.
The Digs
The ocean view balcony cabin had more space than anticipated; the sliding glass door not only allowed for amazing views but led to that wonderful balcony which is always a plus.
The room had a classic feel, had only two outlets and was comfortable and spacious. I had my HUGE suitcase (as I’m a habitual overpacker) and it fit under the bed and out of the way. Space and storage were a non-issue for me.
The Agenda
During my time on the Celebrity Reflection, I enjoyed specialty dining at some fantastic restaurants and had great one-on-one times with advisors on deck 15 in the alcoves while we got some sun. And I took advantage of the great locations where the ship docked with fun excursions.
As I was on the ship with a conference, our schedule contained meetings, classes and dinner meetings which were all enjoyable due to the great amenities and surroundings.
The Eats
For breakfast, the buffet was the way to go. I never tried the room service, so I can’t give feedback there. For dinners, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and service in the main dining room. And they even provided entertainment in the main dining room one of the evenings.
All of the specialty dining restaurants were phenomenal. My personal favorite was “Murano,” the French restaurant on board. The lobster tail station allowed guests to see the tails being cooked tableside. The service was impeccable!
Why I Would Go Back
The amazing service is the number one reason I would sail on the Celebrity Reflection again.

I was also on that sailing with KHM travel group, my host agency. I am partial to Celebrity as it is the only cruise line I have traveled on. I actually have been spoiled now as I started with my first cruise on Celebrity in Aqua class. It's tough to go back. This was my third cruise and I did not book aqua as it was a conference cruise. I have to say the Reflection is a beautiful ship as you have described in this article. Our ocean view was lovely and adequate. I became a travel advisor after sailing on my first cruise with Celebrity in 2022. I have not looked back and am enjoying my retirement career. Thank you for sharing your review of this beautiful ship.
