Reflection January 17, 2015 Western Caribbean Cruise

The muster drill is complete and Reflection is about to set sail for Cozumel.

We have just completed two eastern sailings on January 3rd and 10th so this will mark the first change in ports of call for about 100 back to back cruisers.

The senior staff on board over the holiday season have started to depart and the roster has changed significantly:

Thank you!

We sail on the Reflection in 2 weeks.... so any information is appreciated!

I have enjoyed your postings from the first leg of the B2Bs. Question-are you able to stay in the same cabin? We have taken longer cruises and have considered trying B2B; but the hassle of changing cabins discouraged us. So, we opted for longer itineraries. This is the first 7 day cruise we will be on in 4 years. I really would love to do a B2B - so any info on doing so would be helpful.

How wonderful that you have been sailing going on 3 weeks!

I really appreciate you taking the time to post info and answer questions

Happy cruising

Thanks for posting. :)

Is the new cruise director related to the old Dallas Cowboys kicker?

I'm green with envy, Arno. It's 7 degrees Fahrenheit here today. The ice at Goddard's pond was wonderful and the hockey was fun but I'd love to be sipping a Patron on the rocks at the Sunset Bar. Alas.

Mirage At Martini sounds really cool. If you can share your experience about this if you go it would be be really cool. Thanks in advance, in case.

Have a great cruise!

We just got back home to Michigan minutes ago from the reflection. What a wonderful cruise it was! Wish we we still there having drinks and great food . Have fun!!

Thanks for posting, have a great time Arno !

Don't know about relationship but if you are talking Garo, I don't believe he played for the Boys. His fame? came as a member of the dolphins.

I see DJ TX (Brad) is still onboard although it looks like there's a different CD since our 1/3 sailing, and I know the activities host, Oz, is on vacation as well.

That guy needs a better hostage negotiator because he is clearly unhappy to be there! He told us his contract had been extended several months somewhat against his will.

We will be on Reflection next week, hope to meet up sometime.

Thanks for posting Arno! I truly hope we are on the same cruise someday! DH and I would love to meet you and your DW :)

Thank you for the info on B2B passengers. Also,I would like to know if you were able to have the same stateroom for the 3 weeks ;and if, when booking, you can request not to change rooms.

It would be great to sail with you and DW someday.......,, you have so much experience in cruising.

Thanks Arno for the wonderful review!

Just wondering how the time change works in Cozumel. When you get off at 7am ship time, what was the local time?

Thanks for sharing this timely information. We will board Reflection this next Saturday.

Hi Arno,

So, did your credit card information actually transfer to the next cruise(s)? They always say it will and it never does.

Enjoy your winter condo!
