Auburn fan Posted June 17, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Has anyone on the Celebrity Reflection had one of the cabins at the very far back of ship, the ones with the balcony looking out behind the ship? Trying to decide if I should keep the one we have or switch to one on the side. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted June 17, 2021 #2 Share Posted June 17, 2021 We love the act facing cabins. The only downside is it is a long walk to the elevators or stairs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare garyl62 Posted June 17, 2021 #3 Share Posted June 17, 2021 We have had an aft concierge cabin and it was great. Something about seeing the wake trail left as you're sailing vs a side ship view just adds to our sailing experience. The walk didn't bother us, although I know it may bother some. We had a cabin on deck 10 and since the walk is talked about so often I counted the steps from the doors of the elevator vestibule to our cabin. I have forgotten the exact number, but it was either 112 or 114 each way. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
long time lurker Posted June 17, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I had a sunset veranda once on the Reflection. The wake view is beautiful, but there is absolutely no shade or cover if it rains. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising is my passion Posted June 17, 2021 #5 Share Posted June 17, 2021 We had an AFT SV as a guarantee balcony on the Equinox on a Caribbean cruise. They don't call it SUNset for nothing. It was hot, hot and then some! The room never cooled down even with the drapes closed all day. Don't know if I would do it again for a Caribbean cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lola2013 Posted June 17, 2021 #6 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I have sailed in a SV cabin on several Celebrity ships...and have a SV booked for my October TA. I can't wait to sit on my balcony and watch the wake as we sail across the Atlantic!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevinwinston2019 Posted June 29, 2021 #11 Share Posted June 29, 2021 It was fantastic! Yes, You will be able to walk of that meal, or get real hungry going to the MDR but the view is worth it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DaKahuna Posted July 21, 2021 #12 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Unfortunately you will have to wait until after December 11th for my unbiased opinion. We are booked in stateroom 1665 on the December 3rd sailing. full disclosure, our next three scheduled Celebrity sailings are in aft corner suites. (loved the aft stateroom we did on Equinox a few years bac); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooh/tigger Posted July 21, 2021 #13 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Since this is about the Reflection and cabins, my parents are looking at an accessible inside cabin for a trip in Feb 2022. Are Celebrity inside cabins bigger than NCL and Carnival? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks We noticed while seated at our outdoor table at the Oceanview buffet that all the aft veranda cabins lacked the privacy our starboard balcony cabin afforded us. We could easily see part of each of the balconies of aft cabins. They are tiered so we felt we preferred our side cabin balcony. Personal opinion, you understand! Plus, my husband did not want to see where we had been all the time. We like seeing behind, straight out view, and forward while on our balcony.

Rare hcat Posted August 12, 2021 #19 Share Posted August 12, 2021 When we "lifted and shifted" to Reflection from a cruise on Connie, we were assigned to Sky Suite 2212. Deck 12. From the deck plan, it looks like an Aft location just under the outdoor buffet seating and 2 decks down from the aft bar. Does anyone know of this cabin will be sticking out so folks above can look down on us or will we have a decent overhang? We enjoyed a middle aft cabin on EDGE, so hoping this will work out. Looking forward to cruising.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DenGNNJ Posted August 12, 2021 #23 Share Posted August 12, 2021 We had a rear facing S1 Sky Suite once. We loved it however, the folks at the Oceanview Bar could definitely see us which wasn't an issue for us. There was a giant support beam in the middle of the cabin which was annoying at first, but we kind of got used to it. But, EVERYTHING on the balcony needed to be constantly cleaned because soot from the smokestack fell on to it. The soot was everywhere... the deck, the railings, the furniture, etc. It wasn't like Mt. Vesuvius or anything, but it was enough to get your clothes dirty and mess up the carpet in the cabin. We wouldn't do it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma Rene Posted August 12, 2021 #24 Share Posted August 12, 2021 We have the side cabin near the elevators. We've done aft and enjoyed it, however, found we did not use it during the day. We have cabin this time 1233. It is on the hump with extended balcony. Looking forward to using the balcony and cabin more on this upcoming trip. Has anyone had that cabin?
