A Review of Stateroom 8334 on Celebrity Reflection

During our recent cruise aboard the beautiful Celebrity Reflection, we experienced our first taste of Celebrity Cruise Line’s renowned service and accommodations. Staying in stateroom 8334, a Deluxe Veranda stateroom situated near the aft of the ship, we were pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness, thoughtful design, and overall comfort of the cabin. Here’s an in-depth review of our stay, touching on location, balcony features, and the room itself.

Location
The stateroom’s location had its share of pros and cons. Situated at the aft of the ship, it provided a peaceful retreat, with minimal hallway noise. Only two other cabins were located farther aft, ensuring little foot traffic past our door. This quiet atmosphere made it perfect for relaxing after a day of activities.

Another advantage of being aft was the proximity to the Oceanview Café. The aft elevators opened directly into the café’s entrance, making it incredibly convenient to grab a quick bite or enjoy a casual meal. However, the cabin’s distance from other ship amenities was a minor drawback. Navigating the long hallway to reach the stateroom corridor could feel like quite the trek after a busy day exploring the ship or participating in shore excursions.

The Balcony
The Veranda, Celebrity’s term for their balconies, was a standout feature. Equipped with two versatile chairs that could be adjusted for lounging or dining, and a dining table for two, it offered a functional and inviting space to enjoy meals al fresco. Unlike the small side tables often found on cruise ship balconies, this full dining table made breakfast or evening cocktails on the balcony a delightful experience.

The views from the balcony were breathtaking, offering an ever-changing panorama of islands, other ships, and ocean vistas. Watching the sunrise or observing the hustle and bustle of ports from this private retreat added a special touch to our cruise experience.

The Room
The room itself followed the typical balcony stateroom layout, transitioning seamlessly from the entrance to the bathroom, bed, sitting area/vanity, and finally the balcony. What set this stateroom apart was its sense of spaciousness. The layout felt thoughtfully designed, with extra square footage that made moving around the room feel less cramped compared to other cruise ship cabins.

The bathroom was particularly impressive. It offered significantly more space than standard cruise ship bathrooms, making it much more comfortable to use. Whether you were freshening up solo or navigating a quick cleanup for two, the increased room made a noticeable difference. The design also included ample storage, functional fixtures, and a clean, modern aesthetic.

Final Thoughts
Stateroom 8334 on the Celebrity Reflection exceeded our expectations in many ways, offering a quiet location, a functional and spacious Veranda, and a well-designed interior. While the distance from some amenities required a bit of walking, the tranquility and convenience of its proximity to the Oceanview Café more than made up for it.

For anyone considering a Deluxe Veranda stateroom near the aft of the ship, we wholeheartedly recommend it for its peaceful atmosphere and thoughtful layout. Whether you’re a seasoned cruiser or new to the experience, stateroom 8334 provides an excellent blend of comfort and luxury for your time at sea.
