Trip Review

April 24, 2013

The Grabowski family, avid cruisers from Tampa (2 adults and 3 teens), recently sailed on the new Celebrity Reflection out of Miami to Sangrabowskireflection1 Juan, St. Marteen and St. Kitts. They said that the cruise was fantastic and the ship absolutely gorgeous. Their connecting balcony cabins were very spacious (with a connecting balcony as well) with the largest bathrooms they’ve ever had on a ship. They liked the stateroom TV’s that are powered by Apple technology and have special music channels, movies and even their cruise photos available for order. They really enjoyed the public spaces on the ship. The Hideway, a new venue with the feel of an upscale, avant-garde tree house, was very popular for teens and others and includes a coffee station. The game room was very unique with electronic gaming tables that allowed one table to play against another table in hangman, Pictionary and the like. The grassy area for bocce was also really nice. They wish they would have booked a cabana in the nearby Alcoves before they got on the ship because by the time they got on-board, they were all booked. The cabanas can be booked online for a fee for full-day rentals from 9 am to 9 pm or even for the entire voyage. Mom really liked all the different types of seating around the ship; hammocks, couches, lounge chairs and alcoves. The Sunset Bar on the aft of the ship was also a highlight and also the highest point on the ship. They really enjoyed the martini bar which had a frozen bar top. They said the food was fantastic, but didn’t try any of the specialty restaurants. Their port highlight was the incredible canopy tour at Loterie Farms on St. Martin. There are 32 stations of zip lining, hanging bridges and such. Once you were locked in on the first zip line, you moved forward at your own pace and completed the course as fast as you felt comfortable. The staff was always right there to give helpful advice.
