Brilliant review! Thanks for taking us along for the ride Doug & Sue & everyone on the ship on the TA!
I would love to do a TA on the Encore, might have to try & figure it out for next year! [emoji4]

I’ve really enjoyed your review of the Bliss & sailing along with you on the TA. Really glad you feel better as well. Hope we can meet up on an NCL TA!

Awesome trip report! Personally as my trip starts before I cruise then I also journal about what I do before my Cruise as it is all part of the vacation & you can get tips of what to do, where to go, great food & drink as our fab OP is doing here!
That lobster roll & Farmer’s Market looked awesome in Halifax.
I might even persuade my OH to do a TA now! [emoji6]

Never ever seen Lobster on a buffet on any ship I’ve been on! Shame it wasn’t that great though [emoji17]

Ah your Azores shots looked amazing - now I can see why people do TA's.... !!!!
Personally, I would love a few more stops on the way before you cross the pond and I have seen some cruise lines do this but I do love NCL ships for sure! Might have to consider doing one, all that eating, spaing, drinking lol! :'):hearteyes:

Great pics - I like that the Garden Cafe is forward so you get those views!
I should also say Hey up mi duck from a fellow NOTTS CC Member!;) ;):p

Hi kikki
yes ex Galaxy the one that set lovely Jane Mc,donald on her way, i do hope she returns to her old ship and does a cruise program :hearteyes:
I had the pleasure of sailing on the Galaxy for a fabulous Eastern Med Cruise & yes it would be great if Jane returned to sail on her but I think she is already in the middle of recording the next series of her Cruise programme so maybe the next series if it is commissioned again! [emoji4]

I’m definitely interested in sailing one of the newer ships & I really want to do an Adriatic Cruise but then I am torn to also do a Greek island Cruise too!!!

The spa has changed on Explorer 1 & 2, they have Champneys Spa now. Very nice!
Sounds good. I have definitely seen some itineraries for next year that I am interested in!

Great thread. I have been considering the newer Marella ships as they used to be Splendour of the Seas & the Celebrity Galaxy & I have sailed on both. Plus I always like to sail on a balcony & they were short of balconies on the older ships.
The itineraries on these ships do interest me but I am worried as I am a bit of a foodie that the food will disappoint me.
I was last on MSC & the MDR food was consistently cold or luke warm.
Have they changed the spa facilities on the newer ships?
Would be great for a comparison there too!

The ship also used to be the Celebrity Galaxy before she was Mein Schiff 1!

Looks really good! Love that your cabin has such a large window too. Hope you are enjoying the cruise [emoji4]

After seeing some truly random carpet choices on NCL ships, I’m loving the colour & design of the carpet in the staterooms.
I do like a mini suite for the extra bathroom space as well, it has to be said.
I had one for the Escape inaugural Cruise from Hamburg.
And a great thumbs up to NCL for empty room cabin crawling, excellent marketing tool!
Seems like you are enjoying all the cocktails too CG!!! [emoji41][emoji6]

I think NCL ought to bring a ship to Europe. MSC was sailing the Meraviglia last year on a Western Med itinerary & her sister ship will be doing the same & the Celebrity Edge is coming over next year too.
I do love coming to Miami but it is a long way to go although the timing of the TA isn’t too bad for me as such!

The Bliss looks awesome.... maybe even better than the Escape & I LOVED the Escape!

Wow great shots & such a great view! City Terminal is definitely best for those. [emoji4]

Wow a day with Ikea Meatballs & mushy peas - only one more thing would top that, going on a cruise the next day..... [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15][emoji15]
And dang you got that TOO!!!

And plenty of sea days on a transatlantic means one heck of a lot of booze will be consumed! I hope Bliss is well stocked up!!!

The Holiday Inn is a good place to view cruise ships, do you know which berth Bliss will be using?
If she is going to Ocean Terminal then you need to be the other side of the hotel. If it is City Terminal then your view will be awesome!
Have fun at the dinner tonight - so wish that the Bliss would have done an Escape and sailed for a short maiden from Hamburg to Southampton, maybe next time NCL!!! :hearteyes::hearteyes::hearteyes::hearteyes:

I so wish I was with you all on this sailing! I still have fond memories of the Escape Maiden voyage from Hamburg! That pre cruise dinner was a scream and I was so hungover the next day!!!!

Following along for the ride! Great food pics as ever Paul & I love the Reflection, has an amazing Cruise on her in 2016. Hoping to book another Celebrity Cruise for next year & I will use the app for sure.
Have a great time, a TA looks very relaxing indeed!

I will do! Obviously she will be in Southampton after she comes over doing the Tranatlantic & you would have thought that Celebrity could fill the ship easily by releasing this Cruise to Brits & people in Europe. I’ll be really sad if it is just a TA Cruise I can tell you!

LIVE from Celebrity Reflection - 4/27/18 - 10 nt Italy & Greek Isles Cruise
in Celebrity Cruises

Fabulous photos! I did this itinerary with Kusadasi not Valletta on the old Celebrity Galaxy & absolutely loved the cruise ports. It is a shame that the excursions don’t give you enough time in Taormina.
I visited again last year on an MSC Cruise & although we made it to the theatre, we didn’t have enough time to go in & then shop through the town.
We were back 3 hrs before the ship sailed so another hour would have been great. I think next time we go, we will get a taxi!
I also love the Greek islands too. I also climbed up to the same windmill but you can go a bit higher & then dine at a restaurant in a Boutique hotel with fabulous food & equally fabulous views of Mykonos town.
