The All-New Celebrity Pool Club and Fresh Casual Dining

At the heart of the top-deck redesign is the Celebrity Pool Club, combining contemporary design with a relaxed tropical atmosphere. The space features expanded seating, plush daybeds, added shaded areas, and two dedicated bars.

Alongside the pool refresh, Celebrity Reflection will debut two brand-new culinary concepts:

  • Orange Peel Bar & Grille: An open-air venue serving smashburgers, grilled favourites, and frozen cocktails directly poolside.

  • Tacos del Sol: A casual Mexican-inspired eatery featuring a build-your-own taco stand with fresh toppings and bold flavours.

Edge Series Entertainment and Vibrant Nightlife

The ship’s nightlife is anchored by the Grand Plaza, a dramatic three-storey, Edge Series-inspired atrium space. At its centre sits a redesigned Martini Bar featuring a giant suspended chandelier, complete with evening light shows and live performances.

New entertainment venues include:

  • Boulevard Lounge: A 125-seat venue featuring duelling pianos, interactive games, karaoke, and live music, paired with handcrafted drinks from the adjacent Boulevard Bar.

  • The Parlor: An elevated sports and gaming lounge offering billiards, darts, classic board games, and big-screen sports broadcasts. Guests can enjoy craft cocktails, whiskies, shareable comfort food, and over-the-top milkshakes.

Celebrity Reflection’s culinary lineup expands with three standout dining additions:

  • Trattoria Rossa: An intimate Italian venue serving authentic Roman dishes, featuring daily house-made pasta, tableside preparations, and curated Italian wines.

  • Fine Cut Steakhouse: Bringing the popular Edge Series concept to Reflection, offering 30-day dry-aged steaks and premium seafood.
