About Celebrity Reflection

Celebrity Reflection is a Celebrity Cruises cruise ship of the Solstice class, in service since 2012. She measures 125,366 gross tons and carries 3,046 guests with a crew of 1,271. She sails Bahamas, Caribbean itineraries. We rate her 3.8 out of 5.

Celebrity Reflection, delivered in October 2012, is the fifth, last and largest Solstice-class ship, with one more deck than her sisters and room for about 3,050 guests. A dry dock in October 2022 refreshed the ship and gave her the darker blue hull introduced on Celebrity Edge. She sails Key West, Bahamas and Caribbean cruises from Fort Lauderdale year-round. Celebrity has announced a renewal adding 13 new spaces, with the updated ship due to return in March 2027.

Cabins to avoid & quieter candidates

  • Deck 9 where Decks 8 and 10 also contain cabins

    Compare central Deck 9 accommodation

    Start with rooms with accommodation immediately above and below, away from lift lobbies, stairs, connecting doors and service access. Align the exact footprint rather than assuming the whole deck is equally quiet.

    Why we flag this

    The selected sailing edition shows accommodation across these decks. This is a conditional layout preference, not measured noise data or a guarantee of quiet. Check the source plan.

  • Deck 12 below occupied Deck 14 public spaces

    Check Deck 12 beneath pool and dining areas

    Compare the exact cabin with pools, whirlpools, buffet/dining, outdoor seating and public circulation above. Ask about opening hours and early furniture setup where the footprints overlap.

    Why we flag this

    The selected ship-specific diagram places pool and dining facilities on the upper deck above portions of the accommodation deck. The caution applies to overlapping locations, not every cabin. Check the source plan.

  • Deck 6 above occupied Deck 5 spaces

    Check Deck 6 above public venues

    Align the room with theatre, lounge, dining and bar footprints below. Also confirm the exact balcony outlook, privacy, lifeboat or structural obstruction separately.

    Why we flag this

    The selected operator maps show public facilities beneath portions of this accommodation area. This flags spatial relationships, not confirmed disturbance complaints or obstruction for every room. Check the source plan.

Location-based guidance, not measured noise or a guarantee of quiet. Flags identify areas to investigate, not every cabin on a deck. Check the exact room, connecting doors, accessibility and the plan for your sailing date. Official ship-specific Celebrity interactive SVG artwork for the selected sailing-date profile.
