I love Celebrity and their buffet options are great. I have food allergies and there is always enough for me to choose from because they are well labeled.
Thank you for the information. I am sure most viewers will find it helpful. One correction, however, Celebrity is not a LUXURY cruise line; it is a PREMIUM cruise line. The other cruise lines you mentioned in this video are budget or mass-market cruise lines. Premium is one step above the budget cruise lines. The other PREMIUM cruise lines are Princess, Holland America, Cunard, and Virgin Voyages. One step above the premium cruise lines are the DELUXE cruise lines these are Azamara, Oceania, and Viking. One step above the deluxe cruise lines are the LUXURY cruise lines these are Regent Seven Seas, Seabourn, and Silversea. Then you have the ULTRA LUXURY cruise lines these are Crystal, Explora Journeys, Ponant, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, and Windstar. If I can be of further assistance, let me know.

Great video! I didn’t see you filming on board. I started on the Reflection on 12/7/24 and sailed back to back through 12/21/24. It was a great cruise, and although I scored a concierge rate for under $1,300 DO back in August 2024, I met several people on board who paid twice that for just a veranda prior to that…but it was a great cruise.
LOVE Celebrity Reflection - 2023 Rome, Greek Islands, Malta, Barcelona. My son won a free cruise for two playing the ‘Deal or No Deal’ game show. We used it for a 2024 Martha’s Vineyard, Bermuda Cruise❤
We did out sailing on Celebrity in November. The service was amazing. I agree that the main dining room food was just okay. All the steaks were flat like pancakes which was very odd to me.
This is great to see. I will be sailing on the Reflection for 9 nights mid year in 2025. I was a bit leery about it because of it's age. This has put my fears to rest. Thanks Capt. Corey!
We have been on many celebrity cruises and enjoy them much. Very true what takes place with the specialty dining offers...they are pushed. I used to buy into them but noticed they are getting to expensive for what is offered and the quality is a bit lacking. I'd love to learn more about how to get cruises with a better price deal. Also go on NCL and Royal Caribbean cruises. Lok forward to seeing more of your videos.
Might as well be the Ritz compared to my last one on Carnival Paradise. 😵💫 It’s definitely not an ultra lux like Seabourn. But for the average cruiser I’d consider it on the higher end. Sorry, TH-cam makes us use Clicky words! 😮💨
@MidshipsCruise no worries. Maybe go deluxe like Oceania or Azamara or low-end luxury like Viking or Windstar before throwing that luxury word around for your next video. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family!
Disappointed in solo program. Moderator came to the first meetup and was never seen again. For my first solo cruise after having lost my husband, I won't ever cruise solo on Celebrity again.
@MidshipsCruise hey, Corey. We did that once on Princess out of Port Canaveral. What's cool about that is on week two, you know where everything is, while all the nubes don't. 🤣
You didn't mention the casino. We did the ASCENT recently. The minimum bet on the table games in the casino were triple those on recent Holland America and Carnival cruises. Don't know about the machines as we never play them anywhere
I’ve been trying to find an affordable cruise on one of the more luxury lines. We have only been on a Carnival cruise so this would be a great experience.
Comments; 1) My problem with the Solstice Class is that the service is so slow at breakfast and lunch and the Mast Grill is so bad that everyone heads to the buffet. The food is good but finding a seat is nearly impossible. 2) The good thing about the Lawn Club at night is that it is one public place on the ship that is quiet. 3) There is a restaurant next to the Grand Cayman National Museum that is excellent and serves local food.
Not sure the bug on the bed was Larry! Maybe his companion! Larry on the balcony had thinner spread out legs, a wider body more like a spider, while the one on the bed (let's call him Mo), was more like a cricket or grass hopper! All you needed to find their 3rd friend then you would have Mo, Larry and Curly!!
I’ve traveled on that ship before I actually liked it. I travel retreat so I ate in all the restaurants. I absolutely hated the lawn club. I thought it was stupid. You basically served yourself. I think it was $50 which wasn’t cheap and it would’ve been happier in the buffet which I loved in high breakfast and every morning also, the pool grill I thought was a great quality for hamburgers and hotdogs.. I hope you got to see a little of my hometown Fort Lauderdale. It may be the surrounding areas. You’re lucky one of those creatures in WM didn’t follow you around.😂😂😂🎉. The staff by far on Celebrity has the best of all the cruise ships. The absolute best keep on cruising buddy. I’ll keep watching.
There are some great deals out there, Look at the 90 day ticker on Vacations to go. I am trying to decide which repo cruise I want to take back from Europe in October for well under $100 pp pd on Virgin and Princess.

It looked like there was something for everyone. 🥡🍔🥗🧆

Well said, I have been on Celebrety Millenium and definately Premium not Luxury, ( I have been on Seaborn)
Thanks for clarifying. I agree Celebrity is definitely NOT luxury.
😂😂
I don't think anyone on earth would consider Royal Caribbean a budget line.
@@sol_tropical They are PREMIUM , but definately not LUXURY (my only experience of Celebrety was Millenium )
I was on the Reflection 6 times this year .I have eaten in the Lawn Club several times (being a carnivore) and thought the meats were very good.
I just came off the Reflection a few days ago and had an amazing time! Can't wait to sail Celebrity again.
I love how happy he is. Him smiling makes me smile ❤❤❤❤❤

Sailed on Reflection and loved it!
It was a very surprising ship 🚢 you must have good taste!
I absolutely loved lawn club on silhouette and the staff where amazing

Sailed on Reflection last year Memorial Day Weekend and it was great. Went to Bimini and CocoCay. Loved sailing out of Port Everglades

??? Luxury? Celebrity is considered premium, definitely not luxury!!!!
Thank you. It's not even the most premium of the premium lines.
Might as well be the Ritz compared to my last one on Carnival Paradise. 😵💫
It’s definitely not an ultra lux like Seabourn. But for the average cruiser I’d consider it on the higher end. Sorry, TH-cam makes us use Clicky words! 😮💨
@MidshipsCruise no worries. Maybe go deluxe like Oceania or Azamara or low-end luxury like Viking or Windstar before throwing that luxury word around for your next video. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family!
Celebrity is a premium not luxury. We love x. We disagree on your review of the lawn club restaurant. We enjoyed the experience.
Disappointed in solo program. Moderator came to the first meetup and was never seen again. For my first solo cruise after having lost my husband, I won't ever cruise solo on Celebrity again.
Thanks Captain Corey for the ship review 👍
I appreciate you watching! 😊
The surf & turf looked delicious.
Thanks for sharing the tale of Larry the Dinosaur!
Larry the Dinosaur is a legend! 😂
How about Celebrity Equinox going out of Canaveral now?
I'm totally not in the market for a trip under 9 days, but yours sounded like a bargain for a balcony room, partially obstructed or not.
Back to back it 😉🤷🏽♂️

Oh no! Sorry I didn’t have time to play on this sailing. It looked nice and had all the normal tables including craps.
I cruised Ascent Nov 24

You will have to try one out!

The cruise port is like Curb Appeal for a house. Your first impression is so important.
It sure is!
I booked this cruise ship to the ABC Islands 2025.
Larry the bug better be off that ship for our May 2025 girls cruise.
What was the cost?

Sailing on Celebrity Equinox Jan 4
Celebrity Ascent
So that nobody brings the wrong adapter, the power outlet shown and those actually on Reflection are not UK, but rather European.
I thought the ban on multi outlet plugs was just for Royal Caribbean ships, not Celebrity!
Both owned by same company
@@fastfrank7328 My understanding was that Celebrity has not banned this plug, just RC
Flush that bug !
Not Larry! 🐛
So how did you get such a good price?? Cruising is getting SO expensive
There are some great deals out there, Look at the 90 day ticker on Vacations to go. I am trying to decide which repo cruise I want to take back from Europe in October for well under $100 pp pd on Virgin and Princess.
I agree with other comments, Celebrity is not a luxury cruise line.
Celebrity is not a luxury cruise line
Celebrity is not a luxury cruise.
Sorry, celebrity is NOT luxury.
Reflection is my least favorite.
Ugh!!
Celebrity is not a Luxury Cruise line. Silversea is the luxury arm of Royal Caribbean International.
