Modern
luxury brand Celebrity Cruises has formally named the fifth in its
five-ship Solstice Class fleet, Celebrity
Reflection.
Presiding over the ceremony December 1 were the ship’s four
Godmothers – all employees of the company whose lives have been
touched by breast cancer: Celebrity
Reflection AquaSpa
Manager Jovanka Goronjic; Solstice Class Hot Glass Show Artist Megan
Mathie; shoreside Community Relations Manager Helen O’Connell; and
shoreside Special Events Manager Rosey Rodriguez. Each took the stage
with Chairman & CEO Richard D. Fain, Celebrity’s President &
CEO Michael Bayley, and Celebrity Reflection Captain
Nicholas Pagonis, together with three of the Godmothers
of Celebrity Reflection’s sister
ships, in a naming ceremony tradition unique to Celebrity.
Among
the ship’s multiple new, guest-inspired attributes are five
441-square-foot “Signature Suites” with 118-square-foot verandas;
the brand’s first “AquaClass Suites,” building on the
popularity of Celebrity’s spa-inspired AquaClass staterooms, by
adding additional space and 24/7 butler service to the host of
amenities already associated with AquaClass; the jaw-dropping
“Reflection Suite,” a two-bedroom suite with a total of 1,636
square feet and 194-square-foot veranda, and a distinctive, all-glass
shower extending out over the edge of the ship.
Celebrity
Reflection also
presents an entirely new, multi-functional Conference Center, and the
host of industry-first venues and experiences introduced on Celebrity
Silhouette in
2011, including the interactive “Lawn Club Grill,” where guests
can select and grill their own meats side-by-side with Celebrity’s
expert chefs, or have them cooked to order; the relaxing, private,
wi-fi-equipped cabanas called “The Alcoves”; “The Porch,” a
breezy, casual dining spot offering
sandwiches, coffees and captivating views of the sea and the ship’s
lush lawn, and “The Art Studio,” where vacationers can bring out
their inner artist. The ship also presents another venue first
introduced onCelebrity
Silhouette,
“The Hideaway,” an intimate, quiet space reminiscent of a
childhood tree house, not to mention the diverse array of other
modern venues and attributes already associated with Celebrity’s
Solstice Class ships.
Celebrity
Reflection will
embark on her inaugural Caribbean season with roundtrip 7-night
sailings from Miami beginning December 8.
