Not sure this is the reason, however it is definitely a known issue on Reflection There were already bad vibrations in certain rooms in 2014 (like 9th floor port, before last banks of elevators). As my daughter was in early pregnancy, it made her even more nauseous. But since ship was full, no change possible. They just brought some choc strawberries, wine and flowers, which did not really help my daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMsteffey Posted August 29, 2023 #27 Share Posted August 29, 2023 There were no “white” or any other themed nights on our January 2023 Reflection cruise.

Esprit Posted August 30, 2023 #28 Share Posted August 30, 2023 We had a “white” night on Reflection last month. The pool deck was full of people in something white and a great time was had by all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChucktownSteve Posted August 30, 2023 #29 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Azamara's White Night has been done on all their sailings for years! I can't believe Celebrity is now mimicking something from the cruise line they dumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were told it is because they are changing to eco fuel? Not sure this is the reason, however it is definitely a known issue on Reflection We were onboard May 2022. We also had to move rooms due to very heavy vibrations keeping us awake. The Retreat management team handled this very well to their credit. We were not the only passengers that had to be moved. In fact when I called to report the issue I was immediately asked if we wanted to move rooms and staff were dispatched straight away. It all seemed a very polished and well rehearsed operation. But back then we were told it was due to mechanical issues that could only be fixed when she went in for her next dry dock which I believe she has since had?

Thanks I have seen “ white nights “ corresponding with “ full moon “ …so sometimes it’s a simple as that. No full moon…..no white night ! cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare hcat Posted August 30, 2023 #34 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Very nice review..thank you! Ironic that when Ref first came on line, it offered a huge variety of free tv and movies..When that ended it was disappointing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe Celebrity is now mimicking something from the cruise line they dumped. I'm not sure they'll be able to emulate it very well. The Azamara ships have a lot more space up top per passenger and their white nights don't feel overcrowded. Celebrity ships wouldn't have the space to pull it off in the same way. They wouldn't have space for tables so that everyone can dine with all of the officers cooking for starters.

Once in bad weather they had it indoors..family time with face painting (white) and full choc fountain buffet....then after 10 the adult only party started..went way into the night. DJ and Live music. We have not been on Azamara but have had many White Nights on X. .Last one On EDGE was over the top. great .DJ..all the lights....all crew officers, and pax..Not crowded. And the "after party was even better!" Sadly..those great times on X may be gone as they become Royal C! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billc23 Posted August 30, 2023 #38 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I really enjoyed your great review! Captain Matt and Giuseppe are a great team and very entertaining together. As far as TV screens in Michael's Club, there are several but they are mirrors when turned off. Google: 'tv that is a mirror when off'. Often used in living rooms above a fireplace and bathrooms for their dual purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggypooo Posted August 30, 2023 #39 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Thank you so much for the great review. I was on the Transatlantic last year with Capt. Matt and Guiseppe and booked it again for this year, because we enjoyed them so much. There is no cruise director like Guiseppe. He's so full of life and energy. Capt. Matt was definitely everywhere. On some cruises you don't even see the Capt. but he was fabulous and so friendly. Can't wait until my cruise in 6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billc23 Posted August 30, 2023 #40 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Tiggypooo, did you stay on the reflection for the cruise following the TA??? We were on the TA also and had many nice, enlightening conversations with the gentlemen who run the Bliss cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got off the Reflection and boarded the Beyond last November. I'm chuckling because I understand that that post-TA sailing was a clothing optional charter. Not my style for sure. In speaking to the crew before leaving, they were all dreading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
