youwash Posted February 20, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted February 20, 2018 A wonderful embarkation day. Arrived at port around 10:30. Waited in security line for a bit and then right up to the suite counter to check in. Just as we finished they announced boarding was starting. We went to Michael's and then Luminae for lunch. Rooms were ready when we finished and all our luggage was waiting for us. How can we ever sail without a Sky Suite?!! The space is amazing-so much storage space. Drawers and closets. I could have packed that 4th suitcase. (Southwest-they're free). We're 4 sisters with husbands traveling in a row of Suites so we had the steward open the balcony dividers and it's like one large porch. Dinner tonight was in Murano for which we got a 50% discount when we booked this afternoon. It was lovely but took a loooong time at just short of 3 hours. Called it an early night to watch some of the Olympics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chemmo Posted February 20, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Following your reports with interest....We are on the Reflection in March. We are regular suite cruises on Celebrity but have never cruised on Reflection before. Can you let us know how busy Michael’s is pre and post dinner? We enjoy it lively but do need seats!

youwash Posted February 20, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Following your reports with interest....We are on the Reflection in March. We are regular suite cruises on Celebrity but have never cruised on Reflection before. Can you let us know how busy Michael’s is pre and post dinner? We enjoy it lively but do need seats! We usually eat early so we were in Michael's at 6 and it wasn't at all busy. Plenty of room at that time for us. I do find that drink service is a little slow sometimes so have to allow more time to actually get the drink. We have more or less a reservation in Luminae at 6:15 tonight as it's chic night and they've said they have numerous tables of 8, which we are.

youwash Posted February 20, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted February 20, 2018 No changes to the Alcoves but we still love them. The big screen is nice since we have a good view of it and they are showing the Olympics Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonoma fans Posted February 20, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 20, 2018 We are big alcove fans but would like to know if the volume is on for the large TV? many times we are in the Alcove reading etc..Wondering if this could become a distraction? Let us know how it is used throughout the week if you could. Wish they had upgraded the alcoves..but still look welcoming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mast Grill just opened-burgers are rated excellent! They are really thick. Sister #2 had no breakfast so has a double burger.

youwash Posted February 20, 2018 Author #15 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Our rooms are on 12 on the hump right around the corner from the elevators. Above us are lounge chairs and ping pong table at n the area Have to see how that goes! Quiet so far but surprised by the amount of vibration. Bed vibrated pretty good and I didn't even have to put in a quarter! Lol. We have 4 rooms in a row and all report good so far. Butler is Alex and taking good care of us.

helencruising Posted February 21, 2018 #17 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Looking forward to more from you. Thanks for the pictures. The Sky Suite looks nice. We are looking at a couple of Celebrity cruises and trying to determine if we want to pay for a suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a great cruise! Chic night, tonight, and Michael's was busy 6 o'clock ish but still seating available Luminae dinner was good but service seems slow. I'm still waiting to have my first dessert and coffee at the same time. The show tonight the group that does the Beatles was very good and glad we went. We're not big show people. We did 11 nights on Equinox southern Caribbean and never went to a show. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchdiva Posted February 21, 2018 #19 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Does your Alcove swivel so that you can face out to either the lawn or the water? This was rumored to be one of the dock improvements. Thanks and enjoy your cruise! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was rumored to be one of the dock improvements. Thanks and enjoy your cruise! Sent from my iPad using Forums Sad to say it WAS only a rumor. Nothing changed. Not even new cushions. The lawn looks exceptional and maybe was replaced recently. The only amenities we received have been a fruit and cheese plate. And bottled water. If anyone is expecting more for the exorbitant price they are charging be prepared to fight for it. (I think website says you get more stuff) Going in I realized what we would get which is the same as in the past. We all share the Alcove and the cost so for us it works out.

docsdrillers Posted February 21, 2018 #23 Share Posted February 21, 2018 We were in 2156 this past May and in my cabin review i mentioned the severe vibration we experienced. It was felt the most on the bed and on the toilet seat and while my wife did her makeup in front of the mirror. Sorry to hear the problem wasn't solved yet.
