We have not been on an Edge class ship. We just got off the same cruise you are considering yesterday. The Reflection for its age is in very good shape. There were lots of deck chairs throughout the day. At around 4 the outside decks and solarium were pretty much empty. We had the whirlpools to ourselves most days starting at that time in solarium. The food except for desserts and overall service were very good. What we didn’t like: the gym(way too hot), walking track location, excursions were not great in choice, and the entertainment was terrible in our opinion. It was an older crowd, but most likely due to length of cruise and time of year. We have adult kids and wouldn’t recommend this ship for young adults. Happy sailing either way!
