Creator's Key Takeaways

we had the whole pool deck to our probably for about an hour so other passengers will start coming soon

highlights for me would have been practically having to ship to ourselves even if it was um not for very long

we did get to the pool to ourselves which was has never happened before will probably never happen again

it was a great day as B said it was a weird feeling last night not having to pack your bags

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stay on the same ship for back-to-back cruises to enjoy an empty ship experience.
Use the ship's room service for bag transfers during cabin changes.
Enjoy the pool deck early in the morning before other passengers arrive.

Join us for our first “Back to Back” Cruise Day - see how the process works for people who are staying on the same ship for more than one cruise! On this cruise day we arrive back to Fort Lauderdale and barely leave the ship as we start week two of 14 day adventure on the Celebrity Reflection. Join Dockside Travel for the first episode of week two in our series on the Celebrity Reflection. See Port Everglades, Terminal 29, and of course, the Celebrity Reflection! Explore the ship, experience AquaClass, and see all the food, drinks, and onboard entertainment that Celebrity Cruises has to offer. In this series we will take you all throughout the Celebrity Reflection including to an AquaClass Stateroom, the Persian Garden, Blu Restaurant, the Alcoves at the Lawn Club, Specialty Dining venues, and of course - our traditional Bar Crawl! We also take you along to the Captain's Club Loyalty Program activities including the Helipad Sail-away Party, Senior Officer's Cocktail Party, Wine Tasting, and Behind the Scenes Theatre Tour! This was our first "B2B" cruise where we actually sail on the same ship twice - back to back. The first 7 day adventure takes us to the Western Caribbean and then we do a 7 day trip to the Eastern Caribbean. During the first week we travel to the Bahamas, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel, Mexico. Then on the second week we travel to Nassau, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten.
