Appreciate that very much

I’ll be on reflection in a couple of weeks, though I will not be purchasing the classic drinks package. Can someone tell me what the average cost of a cocktail is, say like a Tito and cranberry, or a jack and Coke?

Awesome - thx for the live update!

Thanks you!

Anyone off the Reflection recently that can speak to the live band that plays on the pool deck? Any info regarding style and quality. The live band is a big deal for me and I'll be sailing on Reflection in just a couple weeks. Thanks!

Awesome, that is great news! Thank you so much

Is there live music at the pool at all? If so, do you have any details?

Not sure when u were on reflection but I just checked and NYC3 is on Eclipse for the foreseeable future.

That’s what I was looking for. It’s touch and go with the pool bands, but that’s what I really enjoy. Don’t know NYC3 but I’ll check them out. Saw a great band that’s currently on summit, but their contract is up soon. Thanks!

Thanks for your input!

Anyone recently off the Reflection that can speak to the house band on that ship? I'm hoping the band that plays on the pool deck has a decent vocalist, a guitar player and some good variety, can play rock n roll, funk, etc. Not just compressed digital music. The bands can be so hit and miss... would appreciate any insight anyone might have. Thanks!

@Ken the cruiser I live in Florida, and because I am fairly new to cruising, I have been focusing on the Caribbean. That being said, I am looking at a one way Hawaiian cruise from Vancouver on Celebrity in the Fall. I am also very open to doing Alaska... probably not going anywhere to Europe, gonna stick primarily in the Caribbean and possibly California coast. I like the idea of being U.S. based. Can I ask you Ken, would you consider Princess a competitor to Celebrity or more of a value brand? I went into my 2 week Emerald Princess cruise under the impression that they are competitors of Celebrity, thats the vibe I was getting with all of the YouTube vids, but after all the comments on my review thread, and of course my personal experience, I'm wondering if they fall more into a value line? That would explain allot. Also, what cruise lines would you recommend that would fall more in line with Celebrity's style? Thanks for your help!

I think Celebrity has more single cabins these days... I can usually get a pretty good price, but even so, I'm willing to pay double occupancy if it's the right itinerary!

Actually if you read the review you’ll see that motion sensors and auto doors are on the list 😀

I appreciate that input. I am not just blowing smoke, I am trying to communicate my experience, but it seems folks get very defensive and territorial. That is not my intent, just trying to communicate my experience, which was not great, but was validated by a gentleman who has been on more princess cruises than Most considering his role with the company.
