Hi,

Sailing with Reflection this summer and wondering what options we'll have for breakfast? What do you like most (buffet, etc.)?

Thanks for any input!

I would not pay attention to reviews. Never been on that line but have been on all the others and each has its good points. Sorry but Celebrity is a mass market line and no better then other mass market lines.

Hmm, why not paying attention to reviews?? I know that some of the reviews are fake, but most of them do give us useful information...

Hi all,

Last year, we had a great cruise with MSC (Divina). The ship was brand new and the service was great. We didn't really like the food though.

This year, we'll be sailing with Celebrity (Reflection).

What are the big differences between the 2 lines? What could we expect? Cons/pro's?

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks for your answer!

I'm talking about the shuttle busses who take you to town. Last year we went on the MSC Divina and their shuttle-service was pretty good. I was just wondering if this is also the case with Celebrity…

Hi there,

We're going to make this Eastern Mediterranean cruise with Celebrity Reflection this summer and we are wondering if there are busses at every port stop?

Any particular ship?

Woops, forgot to mention: we'll be cruising with Celebrity Reflection!

Hi all,

We booked a cruise with Celebrity Cruises and got a great deal on our cabin. We'll stay in cabin 6297 (category 2C) which is a cabin with a partially obstructed view. It is a cabin in the back of the ship so i don't think we'll be looking at life boats... Is it a good location for a 2C?

Also, can you buy all the Apple products (iPad, iPhone, etc.) in the iLounge? Is it tax free or just the regular Apple prices?

Thanks!

Well said! Totally agree.

You're welcome! It was originally posted by MVPinBoynton - AKA the Preismans. Lots of great information - I use it often.

Very helpful indeed! Too bad they still have the $8 limit in the classic package though...

Sadly, the information posted by Celebrity on this thread is out of date. See this link for a copy of a very recent on board flyer with the correct information about the price limits for both Classic and Premium packages.

Thanks for the information!

The savings is based on dividing the extra $5/ day for booking on board by the cost of the package.

 

5 / 44 = 11%

 

5/ 54 = 9%

 

I am guessing they are raising the price $5 and eliminating the difference for advance purchase as they have already raised the prices of on board drinks and upped the limits in both packages.

They upped the limits in both packages or just the premium package?

All those price changes are so confusing!

What are the limits with the classic package? Some say $5 (beers) and $8 (cocktails), other say $6 (beers) and $9 (cocktails). I like a mojito and a Martini royale... Are those included?

What about the speciality / premium coffees? What's the difference? Are they included?

Do you have to pay the 15% service charge if you book and pay in advance?

Thanks for the information, i do hope this is not a marketing action. It'd be frustrating to see another drink package offer in the future. Could you please confirm that the prices will increase as from March 1st?

OK, so how much are the packages if we book before February 18? Thanks.

I mailed Celebrity, will let you know what their answer is. As a matter of fact: it does say "save 11%/17%" so that's what they should offer when i book a package before February 18...

Hi everyone,

I read the following on Celebrity's website: Save up to 17% by arranging for your beverage package before you sail...but hurry, offer ends soon.

What exactly does this mean? How much would i pay for those packages if i book before February 18?

Thanks!

Hi all,

We might book 2 drink packages. About the "premium non alcoholic package", do you think it is a good value for money? I have no idea what a frozen drink, Perrier, etc. cost. Are smoothies included in this package?

Thanks for any input!

OK, so you can 'add' money to your booking? We're Belgians and made our reservation with an American travel agent.

By the way, their fresh squeezed orange juice... Is it really fresh squeezed (in front of you...) and what's the difference between a "premium" and a "specialty" coffee?

Nope, but we did book early and were upgraded from an inside cabin to a 2C cabin.

There's no way i'm going to pay the full price of the alcoholic package. The non-alcoholic packages are not that expensive though...

So true... Those drink packages ARE expensive... That's why it'd great if they could add it to our booking :-)

I'll give them a call

Hi everyone,

A question... I booked a eastern mediterranean cruise for 10 nights, departing July 25. We paid $3800 for 2 adults including $225 on board credit + $75 excursion credit. We'll stay in a 2C balcony cabin (Celebrity Reflection).

Currently there's a promo with free beverage packages. Do you think we should try and ask if they could offer the same to us without paying extra? I know we got a good rate, but we did book really early...

Thanks for any input!

Chris

Thanks for all the information!

About the $5 ... You pay $5 and can order whatever you want?
