YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

I spent 9 days on the Celebrity Reflection sailing in the Retreat. In this full cruise vlog I show you all around the Celebrity Reflection and tell you about my experience on this Celebrity Cruise. Staying in the Retreat provided access to Luminae and the Retreat Lounge, Michael's Club. In this cruise vlog I will show you my Celebrity Reflection cruise experience. Shop my official merchandise: https://zachthetravelingman.myspreadshop.com/ This 9-day Mediterranean cruise on Celebrity Reflection departed Barcelona to visit the ports of call of Marseilles, Villefranche (Nice), Pisa/Florence (Livorno), Genoa, Sicily, Naples, and Rome. Celebrity Reflection is currently the fourth oldest ship in the Celebrity Cruises fleet of ships, debuting back in 2012. The Retreat on Celebrity Reflection features entry-level Sky Suites, Celebrity Suites, Royal Suites, and many more classes of suite staterooms. My room onboard Celebrity Reflection in the Retreat was a Sky Suite and I paid nearly $8,000 for this room for a solo cruiser. For help booking your next trip with my official travel partner: http://travelwithzach.com/ In this series of videos from the Retreat on Celebrity Reflection, I will feature all the dining and food onboard Reflection, including Luminae, the Porch, and the Lawn Club Grill. I will also do a full ship tour of Celebrity Reflection, a room tour of my Corner Sunset Sky Suite, and more vlogs to show you what staying in the Retreat with Celebrity Cruises onboard Celebrity Reflection is like.
