Thanks IslaSarah, I am also a teacher so am limited to the main holiday periods. Your photo's look amazing. It's a shame about the noisy family, this is what I'm worried about. We've booked a mini suite so not sure how they cater for large families.

Thanks arizona, this is what I was worried about (the minuses), need to have a think whether to cancel or not. Appreciate the feedback.

Hi Butterfly0822, thank you for your reply, it is very much appreciated. We are also doing the pre-Christmas sailing (back to backs for my retirement). My concern is with the actual Christmas cruise. We might re-book the 2nd cruise and have a week in the Keys (which we also love).

Hi mahdnc, thank you so much for your reply, the lovely pictures and the helpful links. Your information has given us some food for thought. I can see both positives and possibly some not so positives with a Christmas sailing. The pictures look lovely and we realy appreciate your time replying to us, thank you.

Hi gschwartz001, we appreciate your response, thank you. I'm heartened to hear about your experience. I'm a teacher in the UK and always have to sail during the school holiday periods. We've only ever sailed on Reflection and like you we have never found the children to be a problem, I was just a little concerned about the number of children over the Christmas holiday, thanks again for your helpful reply.

Thank you Chezmarylou for your reply. We also sailed on Reflection on New year 2019~2020, we really enjoyed it and would do New Year again. This year we have booked back to backs from 17~23 and then 23~29 (for my retirement). I was thinking of rearanging the 2nd cruise and having a week in the Keys instead, not too sure yet. My wife loves Christmas so that may be the deciding factor.

Hi all, My wife are both in our 60's and are planning to cruise with Celebrity Reflection this coming Christmas (2023). Can anyone advise on the atmosphere during Christmas? Will there be lots of children? Lots of parties? More than 100% capacity? We have cruised on Reflection on 5 previous occasions and the atmosphere was predominantly relaxed and mainly adults only. We're wondering how different it may be over the Christmas break. Any advice or feedback on previous experiences would be much appreciated. John & Vicky
