JackB60 Posted December 7, 2018 #27 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Definitely don't miss seeing Le Petit Chef. It's a one of a kind show I haven't seen anywhere else. We couldn't stop smiling! And I agree with one of the other posters. One of the best meals we had! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re experienced travelers and cruisers, but we’ve never been on Celebrity. I’ve been reading the boards and reviews, and am so very excited. But I’d love to hear from you Celebrity experts what are the don’t misses? Which specialty restaurants are worth the up-charge? We love martinis, and our husbands are scotch drinkers. Are there special tastings? Any cigar events? I gather there is not a Chef’s Table - is this correct? Special spots on Reflection? thanks in advance! Ensemble Lounge for small venue and great music if you like jazz/blues/classical... With a few visits--and rapport with bartender-- they will direct you to best options for Scotch and you can get a great drink of any kind. (Premium package) Martini Bar fun for pre dinner Murano-- stellar food and service Bacio for coffee/tea.. the cakes in the afternoon are divine and far better than any dessert in MDR Sky Observation lounge Silent Disco is fun! Lawn Club Grill is a nice alternative for dining. Edited December 10, 2018 by Fogfog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head to the Sky Lounge for a fantastic view and there is a nice bar there as well. At night, make sure you head to the Silent Disco. We have really enjoyed it. Silent Disco? How does that work?

Breakfast on your balcony, Celebrity give a great choice at no extra charge and service is a cut above most others. Another vote for Cafe el Bacio if you can get a seat as it’s very popular. Biggest tip would be stay onboard at one of the ports and enjoy everything the ship has to offer when it’s nearly empty, it’s a joy. If you're in a suite and have a butler just ask him/her to get something from Cafe al Bacio for you and have breakfast on your balcony if the weather is nice. If not, simply enjoy the comfort of your spacious stateroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiegirl1264 Posted December 11, 2018 #31 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I highly recommend going to Qsine and seeing Le Petit Chef. The 4 course meal was delicious and the animated show was just delightful. A real special treat that we thoroughly enjoyed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted December 12, 2018 #32 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Lots of good recommendations but I have a couple I didn't notice being posted. 1. Pool Grill - The famous free hamburgers and hot dogs. Not to be missed. They are really good. 2. Deck 15 & Deck 16 Solstice Deck - Forward - Great place to lay in the sun and for Embarkation / Disembarkation from port. Great fresh air views forward over the Helipad. Enjoy it while you can as it will be turned into the Retreat when the ship is Revolutionized (if that's a word). This area is lightly used and I believe you can always find comfy padded loungers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just charged to the room and butler picks it up for you to deliver with breakfast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WikkiNee74 Posted December 13, 2018 #35 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I agree with silent disco - sooo much fun!! And the Mast Grill or whatever it’s called near the pool. I only discovered it at he end of our last cruise (was more then happy to eat in buffet) but the burgers are amazing 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your butler will get what you want and it will be charged to your room or your beverage card. If you have the Premium package your butler will know it and handle it. Have your hubby order what he wants and have it taken to your stateroom for you to enjoy. Only hot or cold beverages are charged from Cafe al Bacio. Food items are not charged and they are very good.

Hi Jen which February sailing will you be on? We are sailing on the Feb 8 our first time on Reflection and first time cruising Celebrity in over 10 years. Will be on Deck 11 midship. Good idea to post this and I also appreciate all the great responses. I love the idea of having the Cafe served en suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digital_curator Posted December 14, 2018 #39 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Celebrity makes its own ice cream and they have some great/less common flavors (guava, cinnamon,etc.). Many of these will be featured on the Main Dining Room dessert menu but they are also available for free at the starboard entrance to the Oceanview Cafe (buffet). If there was a flavor you liked at dinner, it will likely be at the buffet the next day! Also, the art collection is amazing- if you have some time to spare on a sea day, take a little tour. The Reflection doesn't have my favorite collection, but there are some really interesting (and expensive) pieces on display! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkmiausa Posted December 14, 2018 #40 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Can anyone tell me how I make advanced reservations for the specialty restaurants when they are included in the suite pricing? We have a Royal and it says we have included specialty dining. We have friends traveling with us and we want to book them with us in advance so is there a way to do this? I made all the bookings (3 cabins) and there is a place to link them when making paid reservations. Or do I have to call Celebrity? Thank you in advance.

Mialias Posted December 20, 2018 #41 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) So many great suggestions. - I agree with Pool Grill for lunch - the burgers and hot dogs were really good. - We enjoyed Murano for a more elegant dinner. - But our #1 night of dining was Le Petit Chef. We loved the food and the show itself was pure fun and entertainment. A wonderful experience on every level.

But cruises are all about trying new things, right?! A silent disco or silent rave is an event where people dance to music listened to on wireless headphones. Rather than using a speaker system, music is broadcast via a radio transmitter with the signal being picked up by wireless headphone receivers worn by the participants.

catugirl Posted December 23, 2018 #46 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Sailaway at Sunset Bar (aft). Great view of the land slowly slipping away, with a cocktail in your hand and your whole cruise ahead of you! Solarium...so relaxing and quiet! Don't be surprised to see scores of people passed out in their loungers from relaxation!😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regular menu of bouillabaisse, lobster, filet mignon and rice pudding brulee/ice cream sundae or the alternate menu of french onion soup, sea bass, sauteed chicken and chocolate cake/sorbet. We had the regular menu which was fantastic. But we heard the sea bass and chicken were very good as well. The steak and lobster were so good, I'd probably have it again!
