Celebrity Reflection Review
2nd time on Celebrity Reflection, cost cutting is evident

Additional details
We 1st went on celebrity reflection 3 years ago, and this time there seemed to be a lot of cutbacks.The main menu in opus restaurant has been halved, limiting the choice, food is still good and served warm/hot but repetitive and some nights there seemed not much that appealed to us. The buffet was also still good , but again not as much choice as last time. if of course this had been our 1st time on Reflection, we would not have known any difference. Classic drinks package was also more limited , even less allowed than I printed off from the website the day before we sailed! I guess cost cutting measures.
Embakation was quick and easy. Guest relations were helpful when needed.
We had fixed dining and got to know our waiters well, and them our needs!

Port Reviews
La Spezia (Cinque Terre)
took the ferry to portovenere, 12 euros round trip. lovely old town with castle, lots of steps though, great place to wander and watch boats and the way of life, loved it.
Barcelona
, 5 euros to get from port to edge of town on shuttle bus. went to gothic quarter, really interesting and good museums, las ramblas was policed well. aquarium was good.
Malaga
nice port, interesting fortress and castle, shops seemed a little expensive
Cartagena (Spain)
did most of the ancient museums and sights, castle etc, really good, lovely port, 5 minutes walk from ship to town,
Ibiza
walked up to the old town, got dropped from the shuttle bus a few minutes walk from Ibizia town, took around 10-15 minutes to walk to the entrance gate. lovely cobbled streets and great views from the top. a lot of steep roads and steps. Ibizia town was lovely. good shopping and amazing super yachts!
