Yes, not just you, same for me.  Tried on my PC and Android phone, same thing.  Just spins continuously.  Actually, I have been seeing it for 3 days now.  I'm probably not even going to upgrade due to cost but first-timer so wanted to see how it worked. Hope they get it fixed soon. 

Thanks for all the great inputs!  We are definitely fans of sitting with a drink and listening to good music, whatever type it may be, so lots of lounge music sounds great.  The variety of opinions on the Broadway-style shows on Celebrity is one of the reasons I posted this - it seems like some love them and some do not. I have not looked at Holland previously for the exact stereotype mentioned here, I've always thought it skewed older - of course, now I'm older too - I was in my 40's for my last cruise! After reading this, I did go look up some of their newer ships and they look beautiful. I will definitely consider them for future cruises. As for Royal Carib entertainment, I kind of felt they looked like they had the most options but the ship size of the giant ones (and thus number of passengers) seemed too much so I narrowed it down to Celebrity and NCL.  Thanks also for the restaurant recommendations - I have loved specialty restaurants on other ships so looking forward to trying these.  This board and the posters here are really great. 

Thanks so much for the replies! Will be booking later today. This board has been very helpful and informative. 

Hello, I have been reading hundreds of posts over the past few weeks getting ready to book a cruise and now looking for that final validation before I do. First cruise in over 5 years for me and first cruise ever for my girlfriend so I want to make sure she loves it so she wants to go on many more!  I have cruised NCL a lot but never Celebrity. I have read a lot of posts about the (supposed} decline of quality on NCL and read lots of great things about Celebrity. We are in our mid-50's and love live music of all types as well as great entertainment.  I know she will love exploring the ship bars, music venues, and restaurants, and meeting new people but my only concern has been the entertainment since I have read some posts that have made comments about the general quality and, more often, the quantity of entertainment onboard.

Since I am familiar with NCL and their entertainment like Howl at the Moon, the jazz clubs, and now their new Pourhouse (although I've not been on a cruise with one), how does Celebrity compare, and specifically Reflection?  Do they have pianists and guitarists or duos/trios that play music around the ship throughout the day?  Are the night-time big stage shows high quality and interesting?  I know opinions vary but would love to hear some specifics.

Looking at an early 7 night January cruise on Reflection in an AquaClass, with only 3 ports because I love the sea days.  But want to make sure that we will enjoy the entertainment and not just be listening to piped in music a lot of the time. Thanks for any feedback!

Good info, thanks! We are going to be there mid-September so I've been actively researching all of those ideas on the forum.

For your Elbow Beach day, did you book through Resort For A Day? I called Elbow Beach Resort directly and they told me $100 for 2 people, each with chair, umbrella, and towel. But you can't pre-book it through them - it's first come, first serve for the day. I wouldn't want to show up without pre-booking just in case the hotel says they are sold out for the day.

The resort did offer an option to pre-book a cabana for $400 but that seems really pricey.

Thanks, glad you had a great time!
