Best and worst cabins on Celebrity Reflection

Most cabin advice is somebody's opinion. This is measurement. We read the published deck plans for Celebrity Reflection, worked out where each of the 1,523 cabins physically sits, and ranked them.

Celebrity Reflection is a Solstice class ship, about 126,000 gross tons, carrying around 3,046 guests at double occupancy, in service since 2012. The cabins we can place on the plans run from deck 3 to deck 14. The deck plan legend colours them as 765 balcony, 162 concierge class 2, 155 interior, 115 concierge class 1, 80 aquaclass 1, 72 aquaclass 2, 71 ocean view, 70 suite.

On this measure the steadiest cabin aboard is 3130 on deck 3 (Ocean view), and the one that should move most is 4111 on deck 14 (not published). Every other cabin on Celebrity Reflection falls between the two.

How this is worked out, and what it does not cover

A ship pivots about a point amidships and low down. The further a cabin sits from that point, the more it moves in a swell. So the ranking below is distance from amidships, weighted with height above the waterline. It is a position measurement, not a review.

What we are not claiming. We have not mapped the bars, clubs and galleys on this ship, so nothing here is a noise rating. A steady cabin under a nightclub is still a cabin under a nightclub.

The cabins that move most

High up and close to an end. Fine for most people, worth avoiding if you are not.

The largest cabins

By floor area on the plan, against the median cabin on this ship. Suites will dominate, which is the point: this is where the space is.
