I tried a Celebrity cruise again. The benefits were eye opening

Editorial Summary

The creator evaluates a three night cruise on the Celebrity Reflection to compare the experience with Royal Caribbean, specifically testing the benefits of a new status matching program. Having achieved Zenith status through the matching program, the creator highlights several high value perks, including a free premium drink package, complimentary internet, and access to the Retreat Lounge. The review covers the transition from an inside cabin to a concierge class balcony room, noting the specific amenities provided to that class of guest. While the creator praises the food quality at the Ocean View cafe and the service at Cafe Al Bacco, they also note certain drawbacks. These include limited storage space in the stateroom and a lack of late night entertainment compared to Royal Caribbean vessels. The cruise also included a stop at Royal Caribbean's Perfect Day at CocoCay, which the creator found to be a familiar and enjoyable addition to the itinerary. Ultimately, the creator concludes that Celebrity offers a great way to mix up a cruising routine due to the familiar DNA and seamless transitions for Royal Caribbean loyalists.
