We Sailed Celebrity Reflection So You Don't Have To (But You Should)

Creator's Key Takeaways
We are just back from a Celebrity Reflection Solstice class cruise. After years of cruising on Edgeclass ships, here's what we loved, what we missed, and how much we saved per day, and why the 2026 upgrades could make these ships a no-brainer.
We paid about $430 per day for the two of us combined. But we put ourselves into Aqua Class.
The only thing I noticed that seemed dated was a little bit of signage here and there, everything else looked quite up todate.
If the pricing looks good and the itinerary looks good, you should go with full confidence on one of these ships.
