was praying for shower curtains to go overboard with DT.....guess we hoped for too much for our cabin on deck 7 this fall.....

my wife and I were on this cruise..great ship but the food for us was a not-so-great ....We ate breakfast and lunch in the buffet and dinner in the mdr..After 10 cruises on celebrity we just thought that the good quality has gone downhill on this ship..Service was great and we too thought that the entertainment was excellent. Paulette Ivory was amazing and we gifted her the next day and thanked her...She is an amazing talent.. We loved the band arjam that played alot in the foyer lounge ...Best cover band in our 30 years of cruising. Looking forward to sailing out of tampa in the future as the 15 hours that it took on delta getting home to clearwater from lauderdale was a bit much.....no fault of celebrity, just poor timing on our part trying to fly during the infamous "yutes" ritual of spring break. Wont make that mistake again. life is good and so was the reflection.

just got off of the reflection sunday the 7th. Beautiful ship, great entertainment, great cabin, great bar service, food not so good in the oceanview cafe or the main dining room...Oh well, you can't have everything...After 30 cruises with rccl and celebrity, we expected better, buy it is what it is. wish everyone a great cruise.....B&B in florida

JC needs to go, oh well, we wont need to watch any of the games while onboard. ..more time for enjoying the entertainment and adult beverages....looking forward to next week.

thanks much

how about the band that played in the lobby/club...recently it was a band named arjam. they sounded good on the youtube promo video. Also an act named cestibon....thanks for any info. We too sail on her in a couple of weeks and entertainment is why we cruise.

wish jeff ruby would open a place down here in fla. and no we would not wear jeans to it...Come to think of it we dont wear jeans at all, it's too hot most of the year.

tess: did you and you other half find any good beach bargains on either curacao or bonaire for the cruise on the 30th.???I am sure caught up in the sec tourney that i have not even researched it...We go to manchebo beach in aruba but in the past we have done an island tour on bonaire and curacao but have not done any beaches....thanks in advance for your thoughts....go big blue. B&B in fla, by way of ky.

looking forward to the 3-30 sailing ....go big blue

so called piano player in the schooner bar is some judy garland wanna be named perry grant....he is the worst entertainer that we have seen in 30 years of cruising. He should be working in a rehab center not taking up room in a nice lounge...My father was an opening act for frank sinatra in vegas and i hope that i know good entertainment when i see it and this is a pathetic excuse for a lounge act.....just sayin'

sold out ships tend to give you that gift that keeps on giving. We will mask up on the plane and pray that we get through the cruise healthy. see you guys at the hotel thursday...B&B from fla by way of Ky.

glad my mom made me eat vegetables galore..life is good to get a wellness check every year and have the dr. tell you that eating right has it's benefits...but then i have to understand that todays kids are our future.....can't wait.

in the words of ron white---"you can't fix stupid"

so glad that rccl will not repeat this cruise

we just got off of this sailing on the connie and the pizza was worse than red baron frozen..just sayin'

connie is usually more layback than beyond and far less "yutes" which we love..You just have to remember that the connie is 25 years old and in some areas she shows it, but overall it is still our idea of classic cruising..We also sail alot on the rccl radiance class ships out of tampa for the same reasons...No flying, and smaller more comfortable relaxing ships.. We just avoid any cruising in the summer, spring break, xmas, thanks giving and during hurricaine season....we are on the reflection next april and look forward to it a great deal ...life is good,we wish you well.

all is good, we live close to the port and look forward to sailing on "connie" again today...1st time on her was 20 years ago and for many of the reasons that you stated, we like this size ship...Dont need water slides or other disney like features..just give me a ship that is comfortable and not huge..I know that the food will not be as good as in the past, but we will have a great cruise regardless.just blessed to be going....dress warm for sailaway the hi today is 60 and a northerly breeze....An adult beverage will help with the whole process......take care.

stick with the usual veranda. after 50 cruises we have found them to be suitable.

i was in the business years ago and the best watch for the wholesale $ is stuhrling...I have bought them in white gold, rose gold and yellow stainless for as low as $50 nib and they are a very nice watch for that kind of $..Very dependable and the large 40-50 mm faces that most men want today....just sayin'

the pizza and the pasta sauces were not good at all. the alfredo sauce even after adding parmesan cheese to it was flavorless...The tomato sauces were worse...Now i know why i make all my italian food at home from scratch.

so shocked that anyone would get a bad meal in a place with the work sushi in it. We use that stuff for bait to catch a real fish and then cook it....lol

we always take a small box of crackers with us as we have gotten some strange looks from staff that we have asked for them in the buffet.....Usually got a shrug or a no we dont have any or yes we have stale ones....

on the local news just now, they said that she will not be on the cruise, it is just for her fans for whatever reason that is.

another reason we dont do TA's
