Frequently Asked Questions
The Reflection measures 125,366 gross tons, 319 m by 37.5 m, with 14 guest-accessible decks numbered 2 to 16 and no deck 13. With 1,523 cabins and 3,046 guests at double occupancy, she is by some distance the largest ship in the Solstice class. Meyer Werft delivered her in 2012 and her maiden voyage sailed on 12 October. She carries 89 more cabins than her four sisters thanks to an extra level inserted into the hull.
Yes, and the numbers prove it. The Reflection's space ratio drops to 33 tons per guest against 36 on the Solstice: that is nearly 200 additional people sharing a solarium, a Lawn Club and a pool deck that never grew by a single square metre. On sea days the solarium loungers are gone before 9 a.m. and the buffet queue stretches around noon. The ship's profile lost its visual balance too, but it is the discomfort that matters to a guest, not the aesthetics.
She carries three cabin categories that exist nowhere else in the Celebrity fleet: the single Reflection Suite, with two separate sleeping areas and a glass shower cantilevered over the side, five Signature Suites with ceilings roughly 23% higher than standard, and 34 AquaClass Spa Suites. Her main dining room is Opus. With the Silhouette, she is one of only two ships in the class carrying The Porch and the Lawn Club Grill. And she is the second ship through the Solstice Series programme, ahead of the Equinox, Eclipse and Silhouette.
She operates year-round from Fort Lauderdale, without exception. She alternates three- and four-night escapes to Key West, the Bahamas and Perfect Day at CocoCay with six- to nine-night sailings to Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Grand Cayman and Mexico. She has more departure dates than any other ship in the Celebrity fleet, and 148 itineraries in our feed. That short-cruise format makes her the ideal way to try the line for the first time.
She resumes year-round Fort Lauderdale service as soon as she leaves the yard in mid-March 2027, with three- and four-night Bahamas runs and six- and eight-night Southern Caribbean voyages to Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, Turks and Caicos and Grand Cayman. Between late January and mid-March 2027 nothing can be booked, since the ship is in drydock. The flight does not change: Montreal to Fort Lauderdale is a year-round nonstop of a little over three hours, several times a day. That is exactly what makes this ship so easy to sell from Quebec.
Avoid deck 12 amidships, directly under the pool deck where lounger noise starts early, and deck 6 above the theatre. Categories 2C and 2D on decks 6 and 8 have views partly or fully blocked by lifeboats and davits. The 150 AquaClass cabins open the Blu restaurant and the Persian Garden; the 287 Concierge Class add a heightened level of service. Decks 7 to 9 amidships remain the best compromise, and note that no solo cabins exist on board.
Opus is the main dining room, alongside the Oceanview Café, the Mast Grill and the Spa Café, all included. Extra charge: Murano, Tuscan Grille with its view over the wake, Le Petit Chef at Qsine, Sushi on Five, The Porch and the Lawn Club Grill. Blu belongs to AquaClass cabins and Luminae to Retreat suites. Bars include the Martini Bar, the World Class Bar, the aft Sunset Bar, the Passport Bar, Cellar Masters and the Sky Observation Lounge.
The decor dates from 2012 and has never been redone: an orange and red palette, cabins without bedside outlets or USB ports. The solarium and pool deck are chronically crowded, a direct consequence of the extra cabin deck. Terminal 29 at Port Everglades, where she berths, is the worst-placed building in the port: a long haul from the airport, dated inside, and no parking beside it. And the three- and four-night departures draw a much younger, livelier crowd than the eight-night ABC island runs, which surprises long-time Celebrity guests.
The Simply Sail fare covers the cabin, meals at Opus, the Oceanview Café, the Mast Grill and the Spa Café, the shows, the pools and the gym. The All Included fare adds the Classic drinks package and Basic Wi-Fi. Murano, Tuscan Grille, The Porch, the Lawn Club Grill and Sushi on Five stay extra, as do shore excursions and the spa. On a three-night escape the gap between the two fares nearly closes, since there is so little time on board.
Daily service charges are billed automatically to your onboard account and vary by cabin category. The All Included fare covers gratuities on drinks only. On a three-night escape the total stays modest; on an eight-night ABC island run it becomes significant. Prepay at booking to lock it in at the current rate and avoid a surprise at disembarkation.
On three- and four-night Bahamas sailings the answer is nearly always yes: few ports, plenty of time on board and a crowd firmly focused on the pool deck. On eight-night runs to Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire, with a port almost every day, the maths tightens. The Classic package covers beer, wine by the glass, standard spirits and Café al Bacio coffees; Premium unlocks the World Class Bar and the better pours at Cellar Masters. Count sea days, not nights.
Basic Wi-Fi, included with the All Included fare, handles email, browsing and text messaging; the Premium tier, needed for streaming and remote work, costs extra. The Caribbean and the Bahamas are among the best-covered waters on earth for a cruise ship, so there are few unpleasant surprises. The 2027 drydock should modernise the onboard equipment alongside the thirteen new venues. Until then the connection is decent rather than remarkable.
She is the Celebrity ship families use most, thanks to the three- and four-night departures and calls at Perfect Day at CocoCay and Nassau. Camp at Sea takes ages 3 to 12 in three groups, Shipmates, Cadets and Captains, and will be renovated during the 2027 drydock. There is no nursery on board, children must be 3 and toilet trained, and infants must be at least 6 months old on day one. Parents who want quiet should aim for the eight-night sailings rather than the weekend runs.
Points accrue by cabin category and number of nights, so building status three nights at a time takes a long while, whereas an eight-night AquaClass sailing moves much faster. Tiers run from Preview to Zenith, with Double Zenith at 6,000 points and Triple Zenith at 9,000 added on 11 June 2026. The specialty dining discount applies at Murano, Tuscan Grille, The Porch and the Lawn Club Grill. Status is reciprocal with Royal Caribbean, which helps our Perfect Day at CocoCay regulars considerably.
The Bahamas and the Western Caribbean are among the calmest waters you can choose, especially from December to April. The ABC island runs cross a stretch more exposed to the trade winds, sometimes with a short, uncomfortable sea. Hurricane season, June to November, brings more swell and last-minute itinerary changes. A cabin on decks 7 to 9 amidships moves far less than deck 12 forward, and the Reflection, heavier than her sisters, takes it rather well.
