jenniebnyc Posted January 23, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Quick post. Ate at Luminae for lunch. Servers running around in a frenzy. Service not great. Waited a long time for water (no aqua Panna) then waited for drinks. Food was good. I thought the burger was great. Cooked right and tasty. At muster. Still no luggage. No more plush towels in suites. New Bulgari has arrived. Same stuff/scent. Some in larger containers. No new delectable delights as promised in January. Butler had no clue what I was talking about. They are changing many of the wines but old ones still on menu. Brancott is considered premium. Um ok?! Looking forward to sail off and unpacking! Bon voyage!

number one eagles fan Posted January 23, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Can you find out when the Reflection will roll out the newer, faster internet? I think they are going to call it "xcelleration." Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chamima Posted January 23, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Was this a "one shot" or are you going to continue posting from your cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted January 23, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Love your photos. I can almost taste that delcious salad. I do confess I don't know what Aqua Panna is. Keep your review coming and more photos, too, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hawkstar33 Posted January 23, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 23, 2016 How funny is it? You wait so long to go on a beautiful cruise with all these specialty restaurants and food options, and the first thing you eat is a BURGER....I must admit that is does look good...Enjoy your trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniebnyc Posted January 23, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Supposedly new internet has been installed! Also we have a new band! No more LAX. Blind Vinyl. Heard a bit of them on our way to Sunset bar. Meh. I will keep posting if internet is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_tchr Posted January 23, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I also wonder how many no shows. FWIW - Montana Winery is considered premium in New Zealand. Their label in the USA is Brancott. also the burger on board is one of my favorite things right after sushi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phxazzcruisers Posted January 23, 2016 #12 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Service is never great during lunch on embarkation day. Lunch looks good. I hope things improve for you going forward. Enjoy your cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare keesar Posted January 23, 2016 #19 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I love the photos but that looks like iceberg lettuce on a salad and in an exclusive restaurant? Must be Modern Luxury. I also bet that there are a number of 'no shows'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted January 23, 2016 #20 Share Posted January 23, 2016 What's wrong with Iceberg Lettuce? I ADORE Iceberg!! :) It's one of the few lettuces I can eat that doesn't turn my stomach inside out. I just had to say that salad looks AMAZING - just the way I like it! It's SO hard to get an Iceberg salad on Princess! I'm lucky if I see one once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had it in Luminae before, it was delicious. You are most likely correct. It looked like iceberg to me in the salad as when I have been served Bibb (Boston) lettuce, it usually comes mixed with other greens. The food did look good!

jenniebnyc Posted January 24, 2016 Author #23 Share Posted January 24, 2016 No lettuce was even included in salad on menu. I had to ask for lettuce. I guess those little balls of goat cheese and one cherry tomato cut up was going to be it?! Odd. Dinner tonight was fine. Nothing was too hot. Luke warm at best. Too many staff running around. Making it uncomfortable to enjoy a meal but much better food than mdr and Blu imo. Michaels club was dead at 8pm. Is three and another group of 5 and that's it! No worries about crowding and they are very eager to please! Lumpia spring roll was delicious. Mdr Caesar salad. Lettuce not cold but dressing is great. Filet with spinach and mashed potatoes. Shaved truffle and a bordelaise sauce. Very nice. Poached pear, yogurt custard, vanilla ice cream. It was nice. Ugly things on the ceiling that don't illuminate. Pretty. Simple. Would like a tablecloth though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZellBrad Posted January 24, 2016 #24 Share Posted January 24, 2016 We are currently on the Reflection as well. First time on Celebrity (usually sail Princess and Holland America) and we are loving it! Beautiful ship and so many outgoing and interesting fellow passengers. We have met numerous genuinely nice people just in the last 6 hours. Luminae was delightful with great service and very tasty dishes. We now know why so many people enjoy this dining venue. The high speed internet is working great! Speed test shows 5 Mbs and it is possible to stream videos and listen to Pandora without any hiccups. It was a great surprise to see that XCellerate was installed and working for this cruise. Best internet we have ever experienced at sea. Can't wait to explore more of the ship tomorrow.
