Whether it's the high seas (Cruising) or the open road (Motorcycle Riding), we are going places and taking you with us!
We are a lifestyle channel where we as twins use our own unique personalities, likes and interests to educate, entertain, and encourage others through content focused on Melinda's cruising adventures and Melissa's motorcycle adventures.
Melissa's videos revolve around the Motorcycle Lifestyle including motorcycle rides, trips, vlogs and events. She shares information about motorcycles (she rides a Harley CVO Triglide) and preparedness as it pertains to the ride. She shares information about the roads she travels, the historical sites and points of interest along her routes, and the places she visits.
Melinda's videos revolve around her experiences aboard cruise ships: travel vlogs, ship and cabin tours, history and information about ports of call, and tips that make her cruising trips economical and enjoyable.
I just got off this ship 2 days ago. I LOVE this ship. The Food was beyond amazing. The staff was so great.
We had friends on the ship about the same time. I was so envious of them getting to go. Hope you had a great time. Thank you for the feedback.
Question about the dining. Am I correct that there are only two dining options that are included and the rest have an up charge? Also are there any options if you wanted a late night snack?
@@kerusso3568 you can do the dine anytime or the exact time slot. There are up charge restaurants as well. Food in the buffet area was beyond amazing. Overall food was excellent and I’m picky.
@@Bradley7708 thanks, I’m sure we will enjoy the main dining and buffet. What about late night snaking. Most ships I’ve been on at least had a late night option like a pizza place, of a hamburger place during afternoons. From what I could tell the buffet was open for like 1.5 hrs. What time did it close for dinner? Thanks
I just got off yesterday and boy were we blown away..Missing the staff so much ❤
Well done and thank you. Leaving this upcoming weekend on this ship. Cant wait to set sail.
Hope you enjoy it!
Melinda, you did an excellent job on that video. You sound so much like a tour guide. Great job, makes me want to go on a cruise.
You should! :-) Thank you for watching and for the feedback. Tour guide, huh? When I lived in the Bahamas, I used to get called that often when people would come to the island, and we would take them on tours. Comes naturally I guess.
Awesome video the Cruise ship is so huge and is dope you did amazing job on giving us a tour of the ship
Thanks for watching and for the feedback. It is big, but small in comparison to some ships I have been on. For sure this is the most well laid out ship I have been on. Have a great weekend!
@@MidLifeStyleTwins I hope you have amazing weekend as well
I am going on her next week. Thanks for the great tour!
Glad it was helpful. Enjoy the cruise!
loved this. Feel like you’re taking me out on a cruise (from the comfort of my bed) 😁 It was cool seeing a basketball court on top. that’s new! LOVE YOU
Thanks for watching and for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it. :-)
Best cruise ship tour I have ever seen.
(Sorry for the late response)...Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful. Thank you for watching and for the feedback.
Will be on the ship in August! Can’t wait!
Awesome. Enjoy. I am going to be on the sister ship, the Eclipse in October. I am looking forward to that cruise too!
We are sailing this ship for our first cruise ever. The trip isn't until September but we are sooooooo excited. We're learning everything we can about what to expect so thank you so much for such a great video!
It is a good ship to start out on. Not small but not too big. It is one of the best laid out ships I have been on. Hope you have a fantastic time! :-)
Hmmmm...I have never been on a cruise..My daughters have..they really enjoy them...I have always done a barefoot barefoot sailboat..doing the sailing for myself...much older now...perhaps I should give a cruise a go...the covered bridge ride is set for the spring...you gals are quite the inspiration !...Instigators 😅😅😂😂
You should! It is the way to vacation that is for sure. Thank you for watching and for the feedback!
Great tour! We love the Reflection and you do a great job of introducing it!
Thanks so much! I know you will be sailing on her soon. Enjoy!!!!!!
This was the most comprehensive tour of this ship I have seen! I am now even more excited to board her in 2 months!
So glad you found it helpful. Enjoy your cruise. Thank you for the feedback!
Great job… love the way you provide the info! 👏🏼
Thank you for watching and for the feedback!
Fantastic tour thanks so much we will be on it next week!!
Awesome. I have friends on there this week. We almost went with them, but I have a "rule" where I won't sail on a ship more than once until I have done all of them (which will probably be never). Thank you for watching. Enjoy your cruise!!!!
Great job on your video.
We are going on the Celebrity Reflection in December 2023. Can’t wait!!!!
Hope you enjoy it! Thank you for watching and for your feedback!
Thanks for wonderful tour. Will be sailing her January 2024.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you (SO MUCH) for the tour, I have been searching though the internet and I had found some basic tours, but this explains most of it, again thank you so much
(Sorry for the late response)...You are so welcome! I am glad you found it helpful. Blessings!
Great job. Excellent I appreciate the hard work, this was super helpful. Will be on reflection in the spring.
Glad it was helpful!
Sydney Canada 🇨🇦 we are going Feb 11 thnx for the great vid!
Enjoy! She is a beautiful ship. I would so go on her again, but I have a rule of no ship more than once until I have "seen them all." 🙂
awesome lots of information
Glad you think so!
We are sailing her in a little over a month. Cant wait!!
Awesome! Enjoy. Love that ship.
Great filming!!!
Thank you! Have a blessed day.
Truly outstanding tour and this is Celebrity's best class of ships AFAIC with the Edge being the worse. What this ship has is something for everyone who is interested in a Celebrity style traditional yet modern cruise. The Edge class is too much a foodie ship that lacks lounge space venues. This is a foodie ship with plenty lounges. I also prefer the rich furnishings in this ship. It's like a Century class ship in many ways. I just wish it didn't have "classes" but it does.
I love your summary of the classes of Celebrity Ships. So far Reflection is the only one I have sailed on, and I have to say it won my heart. We sail on her sister ship The Eclipse next year. Thank you for the feedback. Have a blessed day!
Nice job ladies!
Thank you!!
Melinda! Outstanding! I was a little late arriving, but i found a pass waiting for me. It's great having friends in high
places. It's a beautiful ship. But i learned one thing from watching your vids. If i take a cruise, i need my inhaler,
and a scooter. 😲You did a grate job Melinda. I'm shoving off matey so i can go and shiver me timbers. 😠💪
...................... 😎👍👍
Thanks, Joseph! Always great to hear from you.
I just went on this ship in july omg ny sister works on it and its class
Loved that ship. We are sailing on a sister ship (Eclipse) this fall. Thank you for watching and for the feedback.
Will always have a soft spot for the Reflection. She was my very first cruise. Plan to sail on her again. She is on the way to Bimini on Thanksgiving day then back home to Everglades on Saturday.
Thank you for your feedback. We are going on the Eclipse next fall. I am looking forward to being on a "Reflection-like" ship again.
@@MidLifeStyleTwins I'm going on the Apex in 9 days. Reflection will always be my first love, but excited to see how the two ships are different and the same.
Not taking the elevators is smart! Love that!
Yes. Rarely gain weight on cruises, even though we eat crazy. Also we come home with tone leg muscles. It is quite the work out!
Wondering what they actually did during “refurbishing”. I’ve been on this ship twice for a transatlantic cruise. Great ship!
Great question. I had never been on her before this cruise, so I have no first had experience of what she looked like before, but from what I see from past videos, the outside was painted dark blue (used to be white), cushions in the pool decks changed, some carpeting was changed. I loved this ship.
This is one of my favorite Reflection videos! I’ve been on Reflection twice, pre-covid. I’m so excited to be going back in April 2024! I have a question about the level 4 entrance to MDR. We will be concierge class, and have anytime dining. I noticed that the starboard entrance says it is for anytime, and the port side says concierge class. Which side would we use? Thank you for sharing this great video and amping up my anticipation! ❤️
Thank you for watch, your kind words and the feedback! Concierge and Suite guests "anytime dining" was on Starboard, Deck 4. Standard "anytime dining" was Portside Deck 4. Deck 3 portside was scheduled dining times. I hope that helps. Enjoy your cruise!!!!!
This ship is the ONLY Celebrity ship that has the heated beds in Persian Garden that look out directly to the sea! Other ships look out onto a deck.
Nice to know. You would think the designers would make that a priority (to have to bed with full ocean views). That is the only way I would pay extra for it. Thanks for the feedback.
Nice video, thank you! Wondering why it didn't show the refurbished retreat sundeck area that used to be the solstice deck. Thought with this video only being 2 months old it would show all of the updates done in 2023 when it went into dry dock.
Thanks for the question and feedback.
Hi! do you recommend it to teens around 13-15? 💖
So sorry for not responding sooner. To be honest, I am not sure of the kids programs and on our cruise, there were not a lot of children (we generally cruise during school times). However, I can say that as a parent and grandparent, if I had teenagers, I would take them on this ship. I thought this was one of the better ships I have been on. Happy hunting for a good ship for your teens!
What you recommend buying a drinks package
On this cruise, we had the drink package because when we booked the cruise the agent signed us up for the "all in" package. We didn't pay for it, but we got it. We used the drink package but we came no where close to drinking enough to make it worth paying for a drink package.
When we do want a drink, we buy one. We also find going to happy hour and taking advantage of the 1/2 price drinks is a very good strategy to get to enjoy a drink but not pay the expensive price of the drink package. We don't typically like to drink our calories, so paying for a drink package is not cost effective for us. I hope the helps.
Okay, I have a question....Having Never been on a cruise, & fairly new to this site....how does one "choose" a cruise to go on...
Like anything else..some are better than others..how do you choose ?
Great questions! It is not always easy to answer that question. I LOVE cruising and can find enjoyment in almost any trip away (I love to travel, period.) However, one might want to consider going on a shorter cruise itinerary for their first cruise to make sure cruising is for them. I am not sure where you are located, but I would pick a port as close to your home as possible (even better if you pick a port you can easily drive to within 5-8 hours). If you live near Florida, Port Canaveral is a nice, smaller cruise port than Fort Lauderdale or Miami , and they do have ships that do short trips to Bahamas (3-5 days, however, I hate short cruises because I am never ready to get off a ship before day 10, haha). I would also consider bigger ships if you tend to be concerned for sea sickness (also along the lines of sea sickness issues, do lower deck and mid ship cabins to get less "rocking and rolling" effects). As for clientele and vibe of the cruise, if you want activity/party/go-go-go vs quiet traditional cruising, you will want to do a ship like Carnival or Royal Caribbean. Holland America is known for their older clientele and laid back traditional cruising. I really loved the Celebrity Cruise because it seemed to have the best of both worlds. Not the over the top party ship like Carnival yet not boring like our last Holland America cruise was. You want to save money for your first cruise (especially since you have nothing to compare it to and can go into it without big expectations) try MSC. They are nice but tend to be less expensive than some of the other lines. I have not done Norwegian or Princess yet, but I would throw my ring to Celebrity right now as being my "favorite" all around ship. 🙂 Probably more than you asked, but oh well... you got it all. Have a great weekend!
Excellent answer by the host. I'd ask the question what do you like to do or see yourself doing on the ship? Do you cruise for the ports and their itinerary? Are you looking for family adventures? Pool activities? Spas? Options like ice-skating or rock climbing? Do you want to dance to different types of music in lounges? Also, the class of ship may matter. This class of ship from Celebrity, the "Solstice" class, has far more lounges than the newer one, the Edge class. Yet the Edge has more restaurants and more state of the art entertainment shows as it is newer. They're quite different. On HAL, the Pinnacle class differs from their older classes. On NCL, the Prima class differs from their Breakaway Plus and Breakaway class and other classes and so on. So, in short, maybe list what you'd like to do and see what line comes closest for your budget, then if you find several ships on the itinerary you want, the cruise line and the class that comes closest may suit you. And the newer one may not always be the one that suits your needs best. Older ships can be fine as well as they are maintained and sometimes refurbished. But it's best to find out when they have been if they've been refurbished. In today's market, I guess older is 10-15 years or more.
Not fully refurbished unfortunately, only standard maintenance and external paint. 2025 for full refurb and update.
Yes. I noticed. It will be fun to sail on her again when they do a full refurb. Thanks for the feedback. Have a great day.
Hopefully us vegans will find food on this ship
I am not vegan, so unfortunately it was not "on my radar" to notice while I was on the cruise. I hope you will find something. Don't hesitate to talk to someone in the dining room/buffet about it. If they can make something work for you, they will do it!
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
