Lily Feghoot Posted January 21, 2013 #26 Share Posted January 21, 2013 We were on the same sailing (although I'm not sure I actually said hello to you at the CC party) and your photos bring our wonderful experience back.

librarylady19 Posted January 21, 2013 Author #27 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thanks for the cabin link. I would love to see the pics but that link just takes me to the photobucket home page. Perhaps the end of the link is missing? I reposted the link after you responded - try this: AQ Cabin 2146 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredacruise Posted January 21, 2013 #33 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Love reading your updates! Thank you!! Read that you ran into cruise virgins...we are cruise virgin as well and are very excited to be starting with The Celebrity Reflection in March. Glad to see that you are on line and posting these updates. Curious as to how wifi works. We want to bring our ipad and was hoping you could tell us about the fee to use wifi. Thanks!!

Shir Hayam Posted January 21, 2013 #34 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thank you for a great review! We are going on the Silhouette in a few weeks, but after reading your posts and seeing the fabulous pictures, I'm going to have to start researching a Reflection cruise. Never too early to start planning. Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarylady19 Posted January 21, 2013 Author #35 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) I wanted to share another picture of the Hideway, reflecting the clever integration of the tree with the nature theme of the Hideaway and the mirroring of the tree in the Hideway's structures....just beautiful. The ship has a very impressive art collection which I enjoyed discovering throughout the week. (More on that later....) Continuing our exploration of the ship, we checked out Game On on Deck 7 mid-ship, a feature that is currently only available on the Reflection and another winning addition in our opinion. Traditional board games were also available, but the selection was fairly limited. This seemed to be another popular venue during the cruise, and I would think even more so on TA crossings and other times when the weather is inclement. We did see people using the electronic game tables to play traditional card games quite often; Celebrity might want to consider having a separate area for those. There definitely seems to be a need, given that we saw many people in Aqua Spa Cafe and Oceanview Cafe using these areas for card games. We played the electronic marbles, frog checkers and word power games at various times and found the room to be a nice addition (we are not big card players though).

Glad to see that you are on line and posting these updates. Curious as to how wifi works. We want to bring our ipad and was hoping you could tell us about the fee to use wifi.Thanks!! We had zero issues with using the WIFI throughout the ship. Only place it wouldn't work is on our balcony. We enjoyed having the free internet minutes as Elite members but there are a variety of packages available with "discounts" on internet cost. You just need to take your device to the iLounge to get your account set up for the first time and then you can log on/off easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseonly Posted January 21, 2013 #37 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Does Reflection have the luggage express service where they give you your boarding pass last evening, and take your luggage to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jetswdo Posted January 21, 2013 #38 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The prices seem to be between 7 and 9 dollars- but I forgot to ask about the size! From your pictures I thought I would get six of them, three for each shelf above bed. Closet Maid and similar have different sizes, yours looks like the perfect fit, so I want to be careful and do the same. Anita :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gig103 Posted January 21, 2013 #42 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Here are some of the documents from our cruise. I'm far from Elite, but am curious if the "Hand shaking is not recommended" is always on these documents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dln929 Posted January 21, 2013 #43 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thanks for the photo of the atrium tree. I don't know why but I love atrium trees! If I were on the Reflection transatlantic with all those sea days, I'd be in the Game On room all the time. We really enjoy board games but the pieces go missing so easily. We once played Scrabble on the Solstice with 3 Qs. :eek::eek: I like the idea of games imbedded in the table top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to bring your own travel games Deirdre (I know you can spare the luggage space;)). How long before they start" Reflectioning" the "old" S Class ships I wonder!! I would like to see the Sunset Bar, Hideaway and Game On added to all the ships - and the Alcoves removed!

I have games loaded onto my Kindle in preparation for our Equinox TA. (btw I still won that Scrabble game even with the extras :D). I would think that tweaking the other S class ships to include the Hideaway and Game On wouldn't be too much trouble, but wouldn't altering the Sunset Bar be a different story? Wouldn't that involve a new staircase and floor configuration? One thing I think they could "De-Reflect" would be to return the lawn to its original Solstice layout, minus those silly unused Alcoves!

GigiAnn Posted January 21, 2013 #49 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thank you for all the helpful info about cruising on the new Reflection. We will be going on her on 2 March. We will also be in Aqua Class. We love Celebrity, too. We will be Elite after this 7-night cruise. We will then follow it with a 14-night cruise on 9 March. I have one question. I did not see any drawers. On other Celebrity ships there have been drawers next to the closets. If there aren't any, I can understand wanting to bring those Target storage cubes. We have to pack for this 23 day trip and are hoping to keep our weight down to just two large suitcases. But if there are no drawers, I will definitely want to get some of those cubes. Looking forward to reading more of your review. Thanks again. GiGiAnn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarylady19 Posted January 21, 2013 Author #50 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Sandi, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and photos. Do you recall how long the muster drill took? Muster drill (next up in my review!!) took no more than 15 minutes I recall; painless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
