Time to Reflect

[librarylady19]

Welcome home Lois and all other CCers on the inaugural paid cruise of Reflection.

I look forward to reading about your experiences onboard and how you feel Reflection compares to other S class ships.

Hi Sandi:) home now....she is a beautiful ship. Will post some thoughts

about it. I am sure others will have their own. We missed Nassau

(which didn't matter to me) since I had no plans to get off the ship

anyway. Capt opened up the all the bars (except Molecular) for 2

hours on Thursday night for everyone (free drinks).

 

Need to do some laundry.......will post some more thoughts later.

I came across this review in the Royal Caribbean forum. I think it's always interesting to read comparisons. It's a whole different perspective. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1749240

Welcome home! Hope you enjoyed her as much as we did!

She is a beautiful ship. The only other S class I've been on is the Solstice, which I loved as well. I like the added features such as "Game On", and the "Hideaway". Three nights though, simply wasn't enough. The only negative I found was that our cabin was directly above a smoking area which for us, limited our balcony use some since we are not smokers. OTher than that, we had a fabulous time and would love to take her out for a week cruise some day.

Bummer - I always book port side to avoid the smoking areas as I definitely would not like that:mad:

 

Hadn't heard much about Game On yet - looked like a fun idea as I'm not a card player. Was it noisy in Hideaway?

We stopped by Hideaway on the TA for an hour or so and it was very quite.

Everytime I walked by there it was empty or just very few folks and

it was quiet. They have a coffee station in there too. I took some

pictures....will have to get them uploaded.

Can't wait to see them!!

Now I'm a little confused! I thought there's an area port side on deck 5 for smoking...that's why we've booked starboard :(

Can't wait to enjoy "Reflection" next year! Could you please say where cabin was located in regard to the smoking area?

[Lois R]

Unless I am mistaken, smoking is PORTSIDE........I can say it is portside

up on deck 15 at the Sunset Bar. They have ashtrays set up on the

small tables for smokers.

 

Sandi, you mentioned only booking cabins portside?..didn't you mean

to say Starboard?:confused:

Oops....:confused:...yes I meant starboard....I should know the difference by now (port=left=odd numbered cabins). Thanks Lois:)

[Lois R]

Ok...for whoever was asking about the smoking side.......

 

It is PORTSIDE:)...book a starboard cabin;) and you should be AOK:D

[boogs]

Smoking was on the port side of deck 5 on our Reflection cruise on Oct 21.

[Lois R]

Boogs, the "Giant" chairs out on the lawn were fabulous for photos:D

I had offered to take a photo of a couple I met.....she needed me and

her hubby to help her out of it;)

There are also small smoking sections portside in the Sunset Bar area, portside near Pool Bar, and starboard at Mast Bar.

Thanks....I admit to being a little obsessed with Reflection (or should I say reflecting...) lately :)

[firemanbobswife]

I'll be sailing on Reflection this Sat, so I'll try and snap a few pics before sail away and post them. Let me know what you want to see.

Lucky you. Hope you have a great trip :D

 

I'd like to see pics of the Lawn Club Grill and the Porch please. Also wouldn't mind seeing the Sunset Bar with people there. Only seen it on the build pictures so far. Thanks :)

Thanks! I will do my best to get those and post (probably in it's own thread) hopefully before we leave Miami.

Oh, I have some pictures of the Lawn Club. I tried to get them uploaded

onto my Flickr account today but I seemed to have some issues.....

I am still "photo challenged" sometimes:(.......I will try again later.
