I tried to book, and no matter what cabin I selected (including the ones auto-selected for me) it lets me go all the way though the booking and pay the $900 deposit, then says, “this stateroom not available, please select another stateroom.” I’ve tried 3 times, no luck. Updated to say I tried a 4th time, and it went through! It said the last available. 🤞

I would choose sweet 16, but I’m the outlier. I’m not a Blu fan, and I thought the M class Persian Garden was disappointing compared to S class. I’m a balcony person, so more balcony real estate would be the attraction for me.

Me, too!

Exactly! I’m not making reservations, because who knows when I will want to eat each day. I plan to go with the flow, and I’ll be irritated if I don’t have time to sit and enjoy a martini if my beeper goes off too soon 😂

Love this, and following! For one, I’m on Reflection for the 3rd time, but first time since covid, in April. Second, I can totally relate to you! First year of full-blown menopause for me, so I get it. Can’t wait to read more!

Yes! I agree! I have a hump cabin. Could have booked same location on deck 8 for less money, but no footstool. I don't care about any of the other amenities for concierge. Went with deck 10, because it wasn't a whole lot more money, and it had a foot stool!

I'm really upset about this! I know it is such a "first world problem," but the foot stools were literally the ONLY reason I booked a concierge class cabin. I will not book concierge again. 😞

Actually, so would I.

I think Icon is an abomination! Everything does not have to be bigger to be better. From now on, I’ll have to carefully research before booking any cruise to be sure I never end up at a port on a day Icon is there. Can you imagine?

I realized this, too, when I was checking prices to upgrade to 2 device premium Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, everyone else noticed, and X Pass is showing sold out for my April sailing.

Stunning photos! Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I am looking forward to sailing Reflection in April. My favorite ship! ❤️

Easy for you to say! Women’s clothing typically either has no pockets or tiny pockets, so carrying phones and cards without dragging around a purse is always an issue for us!

I think occupancy is based on 2 passengers per cabin, so triples and quads would go over 100%.

Your ice cream answers so far are conflicting. There is delicious scooped ice cream in the ocean view daily in a variety of flavors at no charge. Free soft serve is available at the mast grill, but is not self-serve. The gelato at Cafe Al Bacio is for a charge, other than one free scoop for Captains Club members.

Just FYI, if this helps, on S Class ships such as Reflection, the concierge class cabins are exactly the same size as a standard balcony cabin, so you aren’t gaining any space by going with that category.

As long as we are discussing drink packages in general, can anyone clarify for me if the 20% gratuity for drinks is covered by the package? I have the premium drink package. I saw something on the Celebrity site that made my doubt my belief that the gratuity is included. The way they word it, that the gratuity is added at checkout, makes it sound like they ad it to your account. Now I’m confused.

This was also my experience with Blu. Hated the elbows-touching tables for 2, and strangers inserting themselves into our private conversations. I also disliked the food in Blu. Prefer MDR.

I agree with you! I know we are in the minority, but I only cruised once in Aqua, and never again. I did not care for Blu. Much prefer MDR!

I am also in the minority! I did not enjoy Blu at all! I wasn’t a fan of the menu there. Also, we were seated at a table for 2 that was literally 2 inches from other tables, so felt cramped. I prefer MDR. I did enjoy the Persian Garden very much on S class, not on M class, but I don’t think Blu or Persian Garden are worth a significantly higher price, for me. That being said, food is VERY subjective, and I realize that others love Blu.

I believe it is meclizine 25 mg.

I stayed in 2109, forward AS on the forward hump, back in 2015, and it was very quiet. We loved it! It was an Aqua suite back then. Later that same year, reverted to regular sky suite, and I guess now is Aqua suite again. 😊. Here is a photo of the cabin.

I read on another forum that Reflection will now be doing 3-4 night booze cruise itineraries in the Caribbean, and Beyond will be in the Caribbean full time.

I’m so glad this doesn’t affect my April 13, 2024 sailing on Reflection! I believe the ship swap happens the following week. We have a hump balcony on Reflection. I would be so disappointed to be moved to an IV on Beyond!

I’ve been thinking about going to Divi for the day. I’ve seen the beach day on Viator for $40/pp (includes the chairs/umbrella, not transportation) and I heard that you can book a day pass through the resort. Can you reliably taxi to the resort and rent chairs without a day pass?

I saved over $100 canceling and rebooking my excursions. I recommend double checking what you paid before, though, because not all of the sale prices are actually less. They were for my excursions, though. 😊
