Reflection do's and don'ts

[KickedBackLady]

I have booked an Eastern C cruise and really would like the "in Touch" opinions and insights into the Reflection's best features including fare included and extra cost options. Please shed some light on these for me.

Do go to Bistro on Five for lunch on embarkation day ($5/person fee). Saves you the hassle of the buffet with your carry on and everyone going there the first day.

Try the lawn club grill for lunch if the crepes arent your thing! Although they are really good but i still prefer the Lawn Club grill for the extra $5 due to your eating outdoors just with glass walls around you. It has an awesome view of the lawn club and ocean. Also try the spa. If you book aqua class the Persian garden and relaxation room have free access as well as a private spa veranda facing off the front of the ship. This can also be purchased by a spa day pass. The massages are also worth the money. Try and spring for a couple specialty restaurants one or two of the nights. The Main dinning room is always amazing and I couldnt imagine a better experience but the specialty restaurants deliver and cook the food upon order not just pushing out many of the options on the menu in anticipation of someone ordering it. Martini bar and molecule are across from each other and feet away from the casino. Casino is a lot of fun and dealers are always so friendly and interactive. Try the sky observation lounge at night. It turns into a night club at 10pm i do believe. Also the solarium aka indoor pool turns into a laser light show and there is a Miami dj in there if that is your thing. Overall there is plenty to do on board. Try renting a alcove aka cabana on the top deck on the lawn club or playing some of the classic lawn games they have to offer!

I believe the previous poster means the Porch for lunch. The Lawn Club Grill is only open for dinner and is $40/pp.

I enjoyed the spa (pass available by the day or week if you aren't Aqua class), Dinner at the Lawn Club and Murano, the upgraded beverage package to include drinks at the Molecular bar, and lunches at Bistro. For me, these extras were money well spent.

Glad to see someone from my part of the coast experiencing this ship. I am looking forward to it!! Thanks

Check out the iPad at Guest Services and do a tour of the ship's artwork. It was enjoyable and can be done at your convenience. Do it early in the cruise as the artwork cones to life and can be better enjoyed throughout your cruise.

 

 

PS - it's free!

if you are a drinker, I recommend upgrading to the premium drink package, and then hit the molecular bar:) We went every night, tried every cocktail, and I want to sail on the S class ships just for this venue!

Hey neighbor! We LOVED it! If you are a boater, you would love Bob Cass's excursion in St Marteen.

be sure to look at the artwork at the door to BLU. It's a unique piece, it looks like a painting at first, sort of a video but watch it all the way through, it only takes a couple of minutes.

You are going to really really like the Reflection, IMHO! :D

 

The main thing we would recomend is do not try to do and see everything, there is a lot going on with this ship. WEe have sailed a few time's :rolleyes: and yet after returning we found there were things we wanted to check out and missed, another reason to sail her again!

 

Find and join the Roll Call for your sailing would be the number 1 suggestion.

 

Speciality resturants are very good but personal taste is different. We second the Lawn Club Grill for the 'do not miss' item.

Just got off the Reflection for the second time. The Lawn Club is a unique experience. The staff is great and help you through your grilling at sea. We booked an Alcove for 2 at sea days and wish we did it more. A great way to spend your day on the top deck lay in the sun or shade and price includes lunch from the porch. The Alcove is cheaper on port days but the at sea days you need to pre-book because they sell out. Also there is a number of unique art pieces and rooms on Reflection that are not on any other ship. Take time to wander and enjoy.

The Porch is $5, as is (I think) Bistro on 5. Lawn Club Grill IS open for lunch usually 1 day per cruise. A couple of weeks ago it was open the day the ship was in San Juan. When open for lunch, it's $25pp.
