Received survey from our 2/19/2023 cruise the next day after our cruise!

on the Reflection now, if you are thinking about getting one of the photography packages,DON’T, no more pictures getting off the ship, no more pictures at dinner, (which some people objected to ), no more pictures at the pool! They only have one setup with a green background which they will digitally complete. And this setup is only for a certain time slot. And BTW…no more prints!

Sailed on both, two great ships!

Always continue to tip extra for outstanding service.

Silhouette also in the S class. [Sister ship of the Equinox].

There really isn't any correct answer; it's always up to the individual. It can run the entire range from those who remove the automatic gratuities and don't give any tips, to those who keep the automatic gratuities and also give extra tips. As for the amount; it's up to you, whatever you feel is appropriate for the service you received.

Years ago, I always had 5s in my shirt pocket, as time passed, it was 10s, currently, it's 20s, wow, how times have changed.

Rest assured, Celebrity will take care of any of your needs. Contact Celebrity via e-mail ahead of time and let them know of your special needs; in addition, when on board, inform the wait staff and the Maitre'D of your needs; you'll be fine.

Maybe they were still sleeping after a festive night?

Thanks Twentyknots for your review. We will be on the Reflection in a couple of weeks, can't wait. It can be very upsetting when people (shorts/flip-flops in MDR] don't abide by the rules. That can ruin your evening. And thanks for the review on the Riverside Hotel. We will be staying in the tower for a couple nights re-cruise. And thanks for the early MDR seating. We appreciate you taking time to write a review!

Great! Then there will be room for the wife and I on our next Celebrity cruise.

I think they may always be considerate-- for example: my wife's boarding time for our next cruise is 12:00 p.m. and my boarding time is 1:00. Does that mean I have to wait an hour to board and meet my wife? I don't think so! Happy Cruising! 🤭

Got both Xpress passes on my phone; my wife's boarding time is 12:00, mine is 1:30, guess my wife has to wait for me! 😒

I wouldn't go on A Carnival cruise if it was free--- Celebrity is my kind of cruise vacation, great service, great staff, great food and a great way to relax and unwind!

On this board someone asked what no crises scheduled for the first two weeks in February 2023, and some responded that Reflection was going into dry-dock for some minor issues. The first cruise was scheduled for Feb 19th. Maybe that was cancelled.

I thought the Reflection was in dry dock prior to the 2/19 sailing?

We are cruising on the Reflection next month, and appreciate all the valuable information you guys have provided. One question we have has to do with coffee in the buffet---do they have disposable travel cups for the coffee like they had on the Equinox and the Silhouette? If they do, then we can leave our travel cups home; thanks all! Happy Cruising!

Thanks CleoChase for your review; glad you are having a great cruise; we will be on the Reflection end of next month; can't wait!

We added out photo package for $149 back in October, 2022; so, it's possible that they cancelled it.

From a fellow beach goer, (Long Beach, NY), great news on the Reflection. We hope the rest of your cruise follows your first impressions. We are scheduled to enjoy our first cruise since the shutdown on the Reflection next month, can't wait. Please keep us posted on your cruise and, thanks for the info, Happy Cruising! 😎

We've sailed on the Equinox and the Silhouette recently and have a cruise next month on the Refection. Loyal to Celebrity, you betcha! Not saying that the other lines, (NCL, RCL, Princess) that we cruised with were bad, they were all great cruises but, we just prefer Celebrity; why: the no smoking policy, the great staff, the helpful staff before the cruise, (on-line questions, requests, and consideration for dietary issues. etc.). Yes we'll stick with Celebrity!

99% of the responses are right on, true, there are exceptions!

thanks everyone for your responses; I did check the web-site and spoke with Celebrity; no testing for our cruise next month. I just wanted to ensure we had all our ducks in line, 😃! A friend of ours had a problem and almost was not able to board his ship; didn't want that to happen to us. But, looks like everything is in order, thanks again! Happy Cruising!

Been trying to get a simple answer to a simple question; couldn't find an answer on Celebrity's website, so: Do you have to show a negative COVID test results when boarding a Celebrity cruise? Thanks.

thanks all, appreciate the info!
