Is Celebrity Reflection still worth booking… or is it time to upgrade to Edge Class? In this honest cruise review, we’re taking you onboard Celebrity’s final Solstice Class ship to break down everything you need to know before you book—from dining to entertainment to the pool club, spa, and overall value. But we’re also keeping it real… This ended up being our worst sailing with Celebrity Cruises so far. From: • Cigar smoke in our cabin 🚬 • A canceled Key West stop (with no notice 😬) • Slow service in Blu • And a completely different vibe on a short itinerary —we’re sharing exactly what happened so you can decide if this ship (and this type of cruise) is right for you. That said… Celebrity still does a LOT right. ✨ Beautiful ship design (hello Lawn Club & Solarium) ✨ Incredible live music and production shows ✨ Great bars like Martini Bar & World Class Bar We also review AquaClass for the first time and answer the big question: 👉 Is AquaClass actually worth the upgrade? (our answer may surprise you!) 🌈 If you love LGBTQ+ travel and cruise reviews, then subscribe to Two Gay Expats for weekly videos from around the world: https://www.youtube.com/c/twogayexpats?sub_confirmation=1 🛳️ PLANNING A CRUISE?
