History - construction and ownership

Celebrity Cruises was founded in 1988 as the Greece-based Chandris Line (cruise shipping operations between 1974-1996). In 1997, Royal Caribbean International (RCI) merged with "Celebrity Cruises Ltd" to become "Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd" (RCCL). The "X" on ship funnels is the Greek letter chi (standing for "Chandris"). Common features of Celebrity Cruises ships include aft located glass-walled dining rooms, signature alternate dining venues, bars and lounges, spacious Atrium lobby areas, a large number of balcony staterooms, large sundecks with swimming pools, The Retreat (adults-only sundeck with full-size swimming pool, Jacuzzi, cabanas, poolside full bar service). Rooftop Terrace (top-deck outdoor lounge-restaurant-cinema), large Spa (with Thermal Suites), premium retail shops selling top-brand merchandise.

The 3000-passenger ship Celebrity Reflection is a cruise ship with extraordinary size, innovative interior design and one more deck added. The newest ship in the Celebrity Cruises fleet, Celebrity Reflection is the 5th of the series and last in the highly well-received Solstice class. The capacity of passengers is over 3000, and they have the comfort of a variety of stateroom categories, plus suites. Reflection's godmothers are four female employees of Celebrity who have been affected by breast cancer. The ship sailed on her maiden voyage on October 12, 2012.

Decks and Cabins

Celebrity Reflection staterooms (1523 total, in 33 grades) include 108x Suites, 1183x Balconies, 70x Oceanviews, 154x Inside cabins. Most staterooms are sized 195 ft2 / 18 m2. Of all cabins, 85% have private step-out balconies. Wheelchair-accessible cabins (for disabled passengers/ADA-certified) are 30.

On Reflection were introduced the fleet's first "AquaClass Suites" (34 total, sized 300 ft2 / 28 m2, each with 80 ft / 7 m2 balcony), "Signature Suites" (sized 440 ft2 / 41 m2, floor-ceiling balcony doors, butler service) and "Reflection Suites" (fleet's first - sized 1635 ft2 / 152 m2, with 155 ft2 / 14 m2 terrace). There are also"Concierge Class" (277), "AquaSpa Class" (152), "Sky Suites" (48), "Celebrity Suites" (12), "Royal Suites" (9) and 1 "Penthouse Suite" (ship's largest accommodation, 1290 ft2 / 120 m2, with terrace sized 390 ft2 / 36 m2).

The boat has 15 decks , of which 14 are passenger-accessible and 9 with cabins.

Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks

The main dining area on Celebrity Reflection, Opus, occupies space on the ship's third and fourth decks. Opus is quite elegant, decorated in browns and silvers, with white tablecloths and crystal. The vast space accommodates 40 more seats than on Celebrity Silhouette, but the tables are too close together, which makes conversation difficult. Passengers in AquaClass staterooms or suites eat at Blu, which offers lighter "spa-inspired" cuisine. They have the option to eat in Opus MDR if they prefer such an experience. Reflection offers a number of for-fee venues, including Qsine (for US$45 per person), Italian steakhouse Tuscan Grill (US$45), French-continental Murano (US$45), D.I.Y. steak experience Lawn Club Grill (US$40), creperie Bistro on 5 (US$10) and The Porch (US$5, panini restaurant open for breakfast and lunch).

Retreat on Reflection - Worth it?

By dkny330 , December 23, 2021 in Celebrity Cruises

Recommended Posts

Thinking about booking on the Reflection as it works with the dates I have free. Retreat seems like a good deal but think that the ship has not been "revolutionized" yet and is missing the Retreat Sundeck which we enjoyed greatly on other ships. Aside from Luminae, which we thought was very good and the lounge (which we don't use), is there anything else for guests in The Retreat on the Reflection? Thanks

Reflection was my fav S class ship until E-class, so I know what you mean.  Although, I still like the corner aft suites that are now sunset verandas.  Book if it is a great deal, but don't if you will be disappointed and always comparing.  Reflection is also a little more crowded with the extra cabins.  I have Equinox booked for Christmas of 2022, but in a sunset veranda.  The E-class ships were all shorter venues and I wanted Christmas and New Years to celebrate onboard.  All about choices and not being disappointed.  What does you gut say?

It has not been revolutionized; you are correct!

Not really.  The Retreat is really the 3 things you mentioned Luminae. Retreat Lounge and the Retreat Sundeck.  We rarely used the Lounge when it was Michael’s Club. We did use the Retreat Lounge on the Edge as it was a much more inviting space that it is on the S & M class.

Thanks for the reply. My gut is telling me that if I do go on the reflection to save the $$$ and try to move up either before or on board for less. The retreat sundeck is what did it for me on the Edge and will be missing that "perk".

We recently sailed first on the Apex, and then on Reflection, both in S1 Sky Suites (not corner aft) back-to-back.  On Apex, we found the Retreat deck was beautiful, but almost impossible to find a lounge in the shade during the day so we rarely used it.  The Retreat Lounge on Apex was beautiful, but we also enjoy the old style comfort of "Michaels' Club".  

As to cabins, the Reflection cabin wins hands down.  No, the furniture was not as new and shiny.  But the cabin itself was quite a bit bigger (both in depth and width), the sofa was much more comfortable, and the balcony was much more comfortable - bigger in depth and width also, and much more comfortable furniture.  The bathroom in Apex was much larger and nicer, but honestly how much time do you spend in there?  (that's a rhetorical question LOL).  And truthfully we liked the tub/shower combo in Reflection better even though it was smaller.  Luminae was great on each ship so a tie there.

So for us, all in all I liked the Reflection experience better as we love to spend time on our balcony and are not big sun lounge or pool people.  So it really all depends on what is more important to you

Did you mean to say that the corner aft suites are now Sunset Sky Suites?  I believe the sunset verandas are a newer category that does not include the retreat.

I sure did; thank you for correctiing me!  I should not be in the middle of baking cookies and on CC; however, it is snowing here like crazy, so I keep looking out the window too!

We've been in the Retreat on Edge and Summit.  While we LOVED the staff in the Retreat Lounge on Summit, the overall Retreat experience can't compare to the Edge-class Retreats.  

Reflection is my favorite S-class ships as well, but even revolutionized S-class ships do not have a retreat anything like the Edge class ships (no pool, for example on the sundeck).  We saw the Retreat area on Equinox in October.  If the pricing was really good, we'd consider a Sky Suite on an S-class ship but it would really have to be a great deal.  The S-class ships weren't built with the Retreat in mind so it really isn't close to the same experience as Edge in my opinion.

I have to agree the E Class ships were designed with the full Retreat experience in mind, however we loved our first Retreat on the Equinox in August, and we will only book the Retreat on X any ship going forward. The Lounge, Luminae, extra service and the Retreat Hosts (Butlers) make the Retreat very special. We do have 51 future days booked in Sky Suites on the Apex and Edge, which may make it hard to do any non-E Class ships in the future.

Send some of that snow up to the Chicago area.  We would love a white Christmas, but it is not going to happen this year.

You are absolutely correct.

I am curious as to why the Reflection is your favorite S class ship.  I like the Reflection , but the Silhouette is our favorite.  For us it wins by a small margin because it is a little less crowded and has a full Sky Lounge instead of only half a Sky Lounge.

Just took cabin 9384 (C1) on the Aft. Only $20 more than C2 and ship I believe is less than half-full. Leave in a few days!

Keep in mind the Retreat Sundeck on the S and M class is totally different from the Retreat Sundeck on Edge class ships.

The 7 best cruise ship suites — picked by someone who has seen them all

O ne of the biggest stories in the cruise world over the past couple of decades has been the arrival of a new generation of superlarge, superswanky cruise ship suites that are chock-full of every sort of upscale feature and amenity you could imagine. They are sights to behold.

Some of the biggest of these cruise ship suites measure 2,000 square feet or more — approaching the size of the typical American home. A handful go far beyond that.

For more cruise guides, news and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

I haven't stayed in all of these new cruise ship suites. But over more than 25 years of writing about cruise ships, I've toured pretty much all of them. I can't think of any major cruise ship suite that I've missed other than Disney Cruise Line's new Tower Suite on Disney Wish, which I hope to get to soon.

A few of these swanky digs really stood out, and I'll profile them below in my personal list of best cruise suites.

In some cases, these are one-of-a-kind suites found on only a single vessel. In other cases, they are suites with similar sisters on multiple ships.

To be clear, this is by no means an exhaustive list. Disney fans will no doubt admonish me for not including the supersized suites on some Disney Cruise Line ships, such as the art deco-influenced Roy O. Disney Suite on Disney Fantasy. I've been in these suites, and they are certainly impressive. But I wasn't as wowed by them as I was by the suites below. And I have to cut off my list somewhere.

Related: 8 cabin locations on cruise ships you definitely should avoid

Luxury lines Silversea Cruises and Seabourn also offer quite a few wonderful suites on their ships, and it's worth noting that some of the biggest suites at sea are those found on Norwegian Cruise Line 's Jewel-class vessels.

Below, you'll find my picks for the seven best suites at sea.

Regent Suite

Ship: Seven Seas Splendor (Regent Seven Seas Cruises)

Every time I think of this suite, I think of that famous scene in "Dr. Zhivago" where Comrade Kaprugina dresses down the good doctor on the size of his mansion. "There was living space for 13 families in this one house!" she scolds.

You might not be able to jam 13 families into Regent Seven Seas Cruises ' Regent Suite, but in a pinch, you probably could come close. It sprawls over an astounding 4,443 square feet — nearly twice the size of the average American home. Its opulence is like nothing you'll find anywhere else at sea (except in similar suites found on Regent's Seven Seas Explorer and the just-unveiled Seven Seas Grandeur).

Located at the front of Seven Seas Splendor , the Regent Suite is so big it stretches all the way from one side of the ship to the other, offering views in three directions. It has two massive bedroom complexes — and they really are complexes, with seemingly endless space. It also has a living room, a separate dining area and perhaps the most spectacular balcony at sea.

Related: 7 reasons you should splurge on a suite for your next cruise

Among the over-the-top things you'll find in the Regent Suite is a bed with a handmade mattress that Regent executives claim cost more than $200,000. It was handcrafted by four artisans at the renowned Hastens workshop in Koping, Sweden, using horsetail hair and flax, along with cotton and wool batting.

The Regent Suite also has a ridiculously large master bathroom, complete with its own sauna and steam room. It's big enough that it can double as a personal spa treatment room. To that end, the Regent Suite — get this — comes with its own spa therapist on call. Unlimited spa treatments are included in the cost of the suite.

Other perks of staying in the Regent Suite include first-class domestic flights to reach the ship; a personal car, driver and guide in every port; and a dedicated butler to help make arrangements on board.

The only downside to a stay? The cost. Regent charges $11,000 a day for the privilege.

Royal Loft Suite

Ship: Quantum of the Seas (Royal Caribbean)

At 1,640 square feet, the Royal Loft Suite on Royal Caribbean 's Quantum of the Seas isn't nearly as big as the Regent Suite on Seven Seas Splendor. But it makes my list of the best cruise ship suites because it offers something the latter doesn't: views across the ship's wake through a soaring, two-deck-high glass wall.

That's right, the Royal Loft Suite on Quantum of the Seas sprawls over two decks and has a main room that is two stories high — a lavish use of space that is rare in the cruise world.

Royal Caribbean offers a Royal Loft Suite on each of its Oasis Class and Quantum Class ships, but there are some design differences among them.

My favorite of all the Royal Loft Suites is the one on Quantum of the Seas, the first vessel in Royal Caribbean's Quantum Class series. Sleeping up to six, it offers a stylish, two-deck-high living and dining space facing the complex's giant window wall, complete with such modernist touches as an Eames chair (which, being a minimalist, I adore). Among its highlights are a dry bar and a sofa that converts into a double bed.

Related: 5 reasons to turn down a cruise ship cabin upgrade

The first floor of the Royal Loft Suite is also home to a media room with a sofa that converts into a queen bed. It's a perfect hideaway for the kids, should you be traveling with a family.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is open-walled, so you can see across the living area to the sea. It is accessed via a bridge-like walkway, which I love. It's like crossing a drawbridge into your own private castle at sea.

Rounding out the complex is a spacious, 415-square-foot private balcony that has its own private whirlpool — another great place from which to look out over the water.

Balmoral Suite

Ship: Queen Mary 2 (Cunard Line)

Royal Caribbean wasn't the first cruise line to go the double-decker route when designing over-the-top cruise ship suites. A decade before the debut of Quantum of the Seas, Cunard Line wowed cruise fans with the unveiling of this two-deck-high Grand Duplex suite and a sister suite, the Sandringham, on its iconic Queen Mary 2.

Named after a castle in Scotland owned by the British royal family, the Balmoral Suite is fit for a queen with a stunning 2,249 square feet of living space.

Like Royal Caribbean's Royal Loft suites, both the Balmoral Suite and the Sandringham Suite have a sprawling living room and dining area on their ground floors and a spacious master bedroom complex on their second levels.

One thing I particularly love about the Grand Duplex suites is that their master bedrooms are reached via dramatic, curving staircases.

Another allure of the Grand Duplex suites is that they come with access to Queen Mary 2's exclusive Queens Grill restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Only open to passengers staying in the very top accommodations on the ship, this is a much more intimate, elegant and private eatery than the main Britannia restaurant where most passengers dine.

Movie buffs may recognize the restaurant, as it was heavily highlighted in the Meryl Streep movie "Let Them All Talk," which was set on Queen Mary 2 .

Owner's suite

Ship: Viking Star (Viking)

Many cruise ships have giant suites that are given the name "owner's suite." But few live up to the phrase like this one.

The owner's suite on Viking Star — Viking 's first oceangoing ship — was specifically designed to be used by Viking founder and owner Torstein Hagen when he travels on the ship, and it's full of little quirks that reflect his personal tastes.

Among them: Hagen's personal mementos, including pictures of his family, are sprinkled throughout the suite. A selection of books from Hagen's personal collection fills a bookshelf.

The Norwegian-born Hagen also had the suite built with its own private sauna with a glass wall facing the sea, something he wanted for personal use.

In all, the suite — and similar suites that were built onto more recently unveiled Viking ocean ships — sprawls over an impressive 1,448 square feet.

Located at the top of the vessel, it has a bedroom with a large bathroom complex (including that sauna), a separate living room and a dining area that seats six people.

In addition, in another twist that speaks to its real use as an owner's suite, it has its own boardroom with a long table that seats 12 people that Hagen uses for meetings and catered dinner parties. There's an adjacent pantry that can be used by staff serving room service or catering hosted events.

Among other personal touches related to Hagen are wine and music collections that he curated for the rooms.

Similar Owner's Suites can be found on other Viking ocean ships, too, all used from time to time by Hagen and his family.

Reflection Suite

Ship: Celebrity Reflection (Celebrity Cruises)

Many Celebrity Cruises ships have spacious and alluring suites. But the newest of the line's five Solstice Class vessels, Celebrity Reflection, has my favorite of them all: the Reflection Suite.

Unveiled in 2012, the Reflection Suite was the brand's first two-bedroom suite, and it measures a none-too-shabby 1,636 square feet, not including a 194-square-foot balcony.

Located in a panoramic corner spot on the ship, it features a glass-walled living and dining area with a dining table that can seat 10 people (just in case you want to hold a dinner party during your cruise).

Related: TPG's ultimate guide to picking a cruise line

But what really earns it a place on our list of the best cruise ship suites is the Reflection Suite's stunning, glass-walled master bathroom. Dubbed a "sea-view bathroom," it is just that — a bathroom with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer incredible sea views. The most-talked-about highlight of the space: a glass-enclosed rain shower that juts out over the edge of the ship.

Just be careful if you use the shower as the ship pulls into port: You might end up putting on a show. (The walls are made of "smart glass," so you can change them from transparent to translucent.) That said, we can't think of another bathroom on a cruise ship with such amazing views.

Ship: Riviera (Oceania Cruises)

The owner's suites on Oceania Cruises ' Riviera — there are three of them — rival anything you can find at a resort on land when it comes to elegance and style.

So do three more owner's suites that you can find on Riviera's slightly older sister ship, Marina.

All six of the suites were decorated using Ralph Lauren furnishings by designer Susan Bednar Long, and they have a wonderful flow and consistency in style.

The mahogany beds that you'll find in the master bedrooms are upholstered in steel-blue mohair — a striking touch — and are flanked by walls covered in cashmere. A few steps away, a marble-clad master bathroom offers more luxurious Ralph Lauren design touches.

Measuring around 2,000 square feet, the owner's suites also have spacious living rooms and a dramatic entryway with a bar on one side and a grand piano on the other.

The suites offer lots of outdoor living space with wrap-around balconies that are home to hot tubs and flat-screen TVs. These balconies overlook the back of the ship, offering great views.

Among the extra touches, a stay in one of the suites comes with butler service, free laundry service of up to three bags per sailing, priority ship embarkation with priority luggage delivery and access to an exclusive executive lounge staffed by a dedicated concierge.

Ultimate Family Suite

Ship: Symphony of the Seas (Royal Caribbean)

Yes, I'm putting a second Royal Caribbean suite on my short list of the seven best cruise suites. The line is that amazing when it comes to suites. Indeed, if I had to pick just one cruise line for best suites, it'd be Royal Caribbean.

The Ultimate Family Suite on Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas, which debuted in 2018, really is the ultimate family suite. I can't think of a better suite anywhere in the world, at sea or on land, for families with kids, particularly small kids.

Like two other Ultimate Family suites that have debuted more recently on Spectrum of the Seas (a ship devoted to the Asia cruise market) and Wonder of the Seas, Symphony's is like a kiddie fun zone that happens to have beds where you can spend the night.

Related: 12 tips for surviving a luxury cruise with kids

Measuring a palatial 1,346 square feet, the Ultimate Family Suite on Symphony of the Seas spans two decks that are loaded with such kid-friendly attractions as an air hockey table, a building block wall, table tennis on the balcony and a vertical climbing maze.

There's also a crawl-through nook connecting the main bedroom for adults and a second kiddie bedroom, plus — surely the coolest feature of all — a slide that descends from the second floor of the complex to the first floor. (Don't worry, there are stairs, too, for those who want to move between floors the traditional way.)

In addition, the complex has its very own private cinema room with an 85-inch 4K TV that streams movies, a popcorn machine and the latest gaming consoles.

Designed with even the largest families in mind — it can hold up to eight people! — the suite also features one of the most jaw-dropping balcony views on the entire ship. And, like all high-end suites on Royal Caribbean ships, it comes with a Royal Genie — a personal butler assigned to cater to your every need.
