Celebrity Reflection Reviews

Summary:  Amazing ship with first class facilities. Beautiful indoor spa area for Adults only. Staff couldn’t be more helpful. Spotlessly clean. Top shows every night. Main restaurant and buffet with delicious food. Only down side is the speciality restaurants being very expensive. When you pay a lot of money for a cruise you do not want to pay double to eat in a speciality restaurant. A small supplement would have been acceptable but not $59 a head. The speciality restaurants were sold to you all the time as well. Would go with Celebrity again and use the ship, however not the other restaurants.

Summary:  Excellent ship. A little bit more expensive than some but it was reflected in the high standards onboard. The food and service was top drawer. All the ports of call were interesting particularly Malaga and Cartagena although I wouldn't rush back to Gibraltar. An interesting mix of nationalities onboard with US/ Canada predominantly. The only gripe was the number of unruly children/teenagers onboard. I realise it was school holidays but as we always travel in school hols this was an unusual occurrence especially on a boat of this class. It is largely due to bad parenting with groups of children roaming around the ship but it was an unwelcome feature in the evenings. Overall though a great holiday and we will use Celebrity again.

Summary:  Have just come home from a 11 night cruise to the Med. The ship and all amenities are wonderful but the one thing that gripes is the fact that all but one stop off the ship you had to use a shuttle bus off the dock or a taxi. The shuttle bus is mainly run by Celebrity but you have to pay between $5 - $10 dollars per person. I feel that what you pay for the cruise this shuttle should be complimentary.

Summary:  Just returned today from a wonderful cruise we booked threw Iglu this company we highly recommend from start to finish any questions are answered so fast. Well Reflection was a lovely ship very homely to say the amount of people on the ship. We bonded with some lovely people for trivia and shows we became very close.The staff and food were excellent 100 percent the guys in the martini bar were so friendly and the shows they put on were fantastic there cocktail skills were excellent. The shows were excellent very professional top marks to all Jane curry was fantastic and a comical lady very good. The food was great we ate at the ocean view most of the time loads of choice we had three meals in the free sitting restaurant which was great too. To the highest of staff to the rest room guys everyone was equal very polite and made us feel very welcome. Looking forward to booking our next one,Thanks to all of you for a great time.xx

Summary:  We have recently returned from a Greek Islands cruise plus 2 nights in Rome .We had a terrific time and met lots of people in the Hotel who were also on the Reflection and then whilst on board we kept catching up with them which was good fun.All transfers went really well and embarkation and disembarkation were seamless just walked on or off definitely the best we have experienced. Celebrity maintained their normal high standards throughout the boat .We enjoyed the cosmopolitan mix of passengers with lot of American and Canadians and even a Welshman or two.The Reflection differs from the other Solstice class boats with the rear bar moving from Deck 14 to 15.This has created lots more dining tables outside on 14 and has reduced the congestion for inside sitting.For us this great as in the warm MED to eat outside is a real must.The aft bar on 15 was a real hoot very lively with all the staff in Caribbean shirts .In fact the whole boat was really lively on an evening with music in all bars maybe a little loud in the Martini bar but guys lighten up go with the flow and enjoy yourselves.The complimentary drinks package did help this enormously and very few people seemed to sign for drinks.A good standard of food in the Opus restaurant but maybe the menus need a little refreshing .We enjoyed it so much we are back onboard in May 2017. The only downside was nothing to do with the Cruise. Rome airport in enormous with long walks and long queues for everything be warned leave plenty of time !

Summary:  A cruise line that is a touch above most of the rest. No more formal but chic nights makes it a much more relaxed holiday. This is the way that l believe all other cruise lines will have to go in order to attract the younger generation. The buffet food in particular was the best I have ever seen. With just so much variation at all times of the day.The only thing that I would say was lacking was processional show team and rather amateur hosts at some of the smaller venues for karaoke etc.

Summary:  3 very disappointed cruisers. We have had 10 cruises and this was the most costly in terms of onboard spend Gratuities were set at 18% and we cancelled ours after terrible MDR service on the first 2 nights. The cabin was very good but most other things were lacking. You cannot fault the ship in many ways including the personal hand towels in public toilets. The entertainment was very average and few places to go besides. Everything happens around the Centrum with not enough space or seats. £4.30 for a litre of water was ridiculous and $9.90 for a simple Gin & Tonic was unbelievable. After using P&O, NCL and RCI many times this came a very poor 4th place. You were virtually paying 18% to serve yourself most times by the pool. Will not make the mistake again.

Summary:  We have just come back from our 5th cruise with iglu cruises this one was absolutely fantastic the same as the other 4. We went on the Rome to Istanbul for 10 nights we also had 2 nights in Rome all arranged and all cruises arranged with a outstanding member of the iglu team Pawel ... We could not be more pleased with the level of service given by this young man exceptional... My husband and I have just booked another cruise with Pawel this time to dubai for two night then to Athens all in 18 nights ... On behalf of my husband and myself we thank you sooooo very much for your excellent service we will be back ?? Lesley and Henry smith two very satisfied customers from bonnie Scotland

Summary:  I sailed on this ship on 29/05/2015 for the 10 Day Eastern med. In one word it was BRILLIANT, the holiday of a lifetime!

Summary:  The ship is fantastic. Décor, cabin, facilities and the whole look of the ship are 5 *, however the same cannot be said for the food in the main dining room Opus. It was just OK when it should have been wonderful, sometimes even cold, so why wasn't it checked before serving? Food in Oceanview buffet was good and excellant in Murano. Having been on numerous Celebrity cruises they seem to be stopping all the extras that made it head and shoulders above the rest, and now asking for payment for these extras. Staff numbers seem to have diminished also, where is the ration 2:1 gone, if a drink was wanted by the pool or on upper sun decks we had to go find a pool waiter or 'heavens above' get it ourselves. Cabins were spotlessly clean though, with large bathrooms and cabin steward faultless. Shame the whole experience was not 5*.
