Please consider submitting it to the site for publication as well: Click: Write a Review" theminnow was awarded the badge 'Great Review' This is a review of our recently Celebrity cruise. This was our fourth cruise with them, and the first since Covid. It was an eight day cruise on Celebrity Reflection out of Fort Lauderdale. First the negative portion of the trip. I will say that none of these negatives would stop us from cruising again with Celebrity and/or on the Reflection. The first negative was with the Lawn Club Grill. We signed up for the special deal on the first night of the cruise. Unfortunately we had the late (8:30pm) slot. Only about six tables had people eating at them so it was not busy. However the staff were not vary attentive. We had to call them over to order a drink and they never refilled our water glasses. It was suppose to be all you can eat, but we were never offered a chance to have more. It was a little disappointing, but we also realized it was turn over day for them and they were most likely tired. So we learned. I will say the steak was good and we did enjoy the food. Negative number two was a true PIA. Seriously Celebrity, you shouldn't purchase your toilet paper from the sand paper section of the local Home Depot. Find another source. I know you have to be careful about what goes into your system but there has to be better stuff out there. Find it. Positives. And the reasons why we enjoy sailing with Celebrity. First it appeared there were more (with the exception stated above) waiters/waitresses walking around taking drink orders at the pools, bars, and the Oceanview then I remember. Second is the staff were very friendly and always seemed to be in good spirits. Always very respectful and very courteous. Third, the Martini bar. Spot on. They are the show to see on Celebrity. I don't know if other cruise lines have a bar with this level of entertainment, but I doubt they do. They are truly a pleasure to watch. Well that's all folks. Like I said, the negatives were not enough to stop us from using Celebrity again, and the positives will keep us coming back. 15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare fac429 Posted March 25 #3 Share Posted March 25 Thanks! We're going to be on the Reflection soon, so good to hear that you enjoyed most of it. Maybe I'll throw a couple of rolls of premium TP in my suitcase to be on the safe side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just going to cause blockages and issues for many more people than just you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OceanCruise Posted March 26 #7 Share Posted March 26 On our recent Silhouette cruise we joked that the toilet paper seemed to be the tissue paper you use in gift bags😄 Don't remember it being this bad on prior cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
