lais Posted December 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 16, 2018 On the Reflection now. Day 10 of 14 day Southern Caribbean. I have very limited WiFi so cannot reply to questions until I get home. Here’s the bad and the good. Bad. the food. It’s everywhere all day and a huge great tasting selection of your hearts desire. Now my stomach jiggles as I walk to my next feeding frenzy. All of the food has been very good and that’s bad! Bad. The drink package. Drinks everywhere. My stomach jiggles as I walk to the next bar. Now I feel like a fat alcoholic Good. The service has been great. Can’t say enough for all of these hard working people. Good. I am in an aft facing concierge cabin. We love aft facing and as it has been windy so it is a great location. No wind back here and the long walk to the elevators as my stomach jiggles is good exercise. The condition of the ship outside and all public places is good. My cabin is getting tired looking. Needs new carpet and new sofa cushions. I have only seen a few chair hogs. They are equipped with the big towel clips so it’s easy to spot them. What I have seen more of is book hogs from the library and the tea bag/hot chocolate packets hogs. Make sure you grab them all! There is a great mix of passengers on board. Only a handful of little ones but other than that there are all age groups and nationalities. To sum it up this has been a great cruise. Wish I had more time to write. I have more info but have to get to the beach now. We are in Aruba. Tip. Stay on the ship in Grenada or go on a tour. The town where they berth is not worth walking around. It is not nice at all. There are shops at the terminal but past that, blah! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam.Seattle Posted December 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Be sure to bring her back on time! Looking forward to boarding next Friday.... I probably resemble the good, bad and the ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkystheLimit Posted December 16, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 16, 2018 We are also currently on the Reflection and agree the food has been good to outstanding. Lawn Club Grill last night was very good. Filet Mignon superb. Of course, the warm chocolate chip cookie is a given. Only gripe from us is the seating in the Martini and Passport bars. Not enough and most of it is very uncomfortable and too low for the demographics onboard. Definitely different than what we have experienced on other S class ships. Staff and crew all around have been working hard and doing a great job with a smile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale n Debs Posted December 16, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Also on the the Reflection, aft concierge cabin, cruise has been great, agree about the food and drink it's everywhere and very good, please to say haven't used the escalators yet to relieve some of the guilt! We were on the Reflection when she was new and am pleased to say they are keeping in great shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We (Mike & Susan) sailed with you guys on the April 2017 Reflection TA. Our second Reflection TA is coming up in April 2019. We will be sailing with Connie & Mark (PrincessPie). Reflection remains our favorite ship, although we find the Azamara Journey to be very enjoyable albeit very different. lais, Glad you are enjoying the Reflection. I can't wait to return to the Lawn Club Grill in April.😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekathy Posted December 16, 2018 #7 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Thanks for posting. Sounds like you're enjoying your cruise so far. I do disagree with you about staying on the ship at Granada. But that's only my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted December 16, 2018 #8 Share Posted December 16, 2018 We will sail Reflection in Feb. 2019 and wonder if the Elite and above cocktail hours are still in the Sky Lounge. If so, is there a limit of 3 drinks? Are they still serving canapes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like some of the first Edge cruisers(Edgies)are finding her to be a little less than desirable. We also booked Reflection for November, but I hate all the higher airfare prices; however, it just is what it is! have a great cruise in April!

SkystheLimit Posted December 16, 2018 #10 Share Posted December 16, 2018 We have not attended this cruise but the Captain's Club letter we received stated there was service with canapés from 5-7 except embarkation day. Up to 3 beverages from the Elite Lounge bar menu are also available in other bars/lounges except the World Bar. This is loaded on your cruise card according to the CC letter. We have a drinks package so I cannot comment on how this is working for others as we have not used this CC perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ken the cruiser Posted December 16, 2018 #11 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) We'll be on her for 3 weeks starting in mid January and are looking forward to having a great time. If I might ask, how have the evening shows and entertainment been so far? Edited December 16, 2018 by Ken the cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silhouette2017 Posted December 17, 2018 #12 Share Posted December 17, 2018 We were on her on her last sailing, and I so agree with the food and drinks comments. It was a fantastic cruise. Reflection is one amazing place to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkmiausa Posted December 17, 2018 #13 Share Posted December 17, 2018 We are taking Reflection in early Feb after switching from Edge. Just not my type of ship. What does it take to be Elite status? Is it the number of days cruising or the categories you choose? Do you get more points for suites than regular? Just curious. It is only our second Celebrity cruise. Seabourn has a bit of a points system but not sure about how Celebrity works. We have a RS so looking forward to a new type of experience on a big ship, more used to under 1000.

kkmiausa Posted December 17, 2018 #15 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Thank you. Yes I just looked it up. I don't have points showing from my original cruise. Was there a program 10 years ago? I have no idea what my original cruise captains number was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoconutOne Posted December 17, 2018 #17 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I think Grenada is one of the better southern Caribbean islands! The town isn't bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They converted those points to the new system a few years ago. If you happen to have your reservation number or folio number from your sea pass card or any other documented proof that you were on the sailing they should be able to look it up and get your points reinstated. The captains club number is 1-844-418-6824 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be on the other 14 nt sailing next month. I presume that the CC Party was held on your 1st sea day. If so, can you please tell me the time and place?

SkystheLimit Posted December 17, 2018 #20 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Cruise Critic party was 1st sea day in Cellarmasters. 10:15 or 10:45. Can't remember now. Nice touch in the invitation were name tags to wear. A little different was the Evening Chic night the first sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
