Currently on Reflection TA - any questions?

[Sibsie]

We’re on Reflection TA. Only 1064 pax onboard. 

internet so far has been amazing. No probs streaming. 
 

We’re in a corner aft S1 which is lovely.  Attendants are great and our personal retreat host Pratik is a really nice guy though all we’ve asked for so far is some water.
 

Deck 3 is blocked off for any pax that may come down with covid and deck 6 is blocked off for crew. 
 

Any questions?

Any questions? 

Where is the "pole" in your cabin, and is it any bother?

 

As to decks 3 and 6, and especially given the commentary in a recent thread here, I'd bet some would like to ask someone who can speak authoritatively aboard why the use of decks 3 and 6 aren't swapped!  I know I'd be curious as to the reasoning.  Deck 3 space is still an improvement vs. below decks for quarantined crew.

Pole is by the side of the bed. Aside from me trying to impress Mr Sibsie with my pole dancing skills I haven’t noticed it at all.

I asked this question and they just said it’s the “best location” for pax. They wouldn’t be drawn on it but I’ll keep trying.

Much appreciated re the 3 vs. 6 attempt.  Any better explanation will be welcomed!

 

I have booked a suite for our 'kids' for Reflection that is of the same configuration as your photo.  Many thanks for that!  While these are definitely the 'sweet S1 suites', I wondered if getting out of bed in the middle of the night might not lead to a few headaches (literally!), so info on your experience will be most helpful.

I’m one of the clumsiest people I know so if anyone was going to crash into it, it’d be me.

 

It’s a great location. Nice and quiet. Sheltered from the weather which was bad yesterday and sun all day for the crossing.

One other thing. We rebooked our Edge cruise and booked another for Beyond with the Future Cruise desk. We got a great promo. I dealt with Allen Sharpe who I highly recommend

We will be on Reflection May 2nd for the next cruise from Civitavecchia. So take good care of the ship 😉. We also have booked a suite. Did you notice who is the Maitre D' in Luminae? And do they offer an Indian Dinner in Sushi on 5 during this cruise?

 

Thanks & regards

2 questions, and then maybe back to your pole dancing practices....:)

 

Is Patrick still the CD, and Captain Nikolaos the Captain.....(assuming they didn't switch gigs...)

 

Thank you and enjoy. We'll be on her in 10 weeks.......the Reflection, that is!!

 

Keep the Sun out and the Seas clam,

Is Olympia still the Retreat bartender.  She is great.  She will always try to get what you want.  If it's on the ship she will find it.

Olympia is back from vacation and is currently on the ship. Not exactly sure where, but she is definitely on board

Olympia in Retreat Lounge… so much fun!

Capt Nikolaos is the very adorable captain and is very visible every day and clearly excited to be taking her to Europe again. 
 

Olympia is in Michael’s every day working exceptionally hard.

Sibsie, I am sure you wanted to answer in your post #13, but it was empty.... 😉

Can I ask what number cabin that is, we have a Sky Aft booked for June and that pole would create issues for me as I am disabled and that would be my 'side'. Previously always had same grade but on side of ship with no pole.
