One of our favorite spots when we cruised on Celebrity Eclipse was The Lawn Club. One thing you never expect to see at sea is a large expanse of real grass. On Celebrity's newest and last ship in the Solstice class, Reflection, they're made a good thing even better.

Take, for example, The Alcoves: Private cabanas that provide what Celebrity calls "an escape within an escape." Each Alcove accommodates up to four guests, and can be rented by the day or longer. While you enjoy your chilled towels and fruit plate, your Alcove Attendant is never more than a phone call away. You can also arrange for a picnic at sea by ordering up a picnic basket of goodies from one of the specialty restaurants on board.
There are plenty of other ways to relax as well. Settle in to one of eight over-size hammocks, or slide into the biggest Adirondack chairs you've ever seen. (You may even need someone to help get you back out.)

Adjacent to the Lawn Club is the Lawn Grill, an interactive specialty eating experience that features its own unique delights (more on that in a future post). Around the corner is The Porch, featuring more casual fare.

Throughout the day you can also participate in lawn games, such as that old favorite, croquet. Altogether, it conjures those famous verses from Omar Khayyam:
A Book of Verses underneath the Bough,
A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread-and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness-
O, Wilderness were Paradise enow!
Celebrity Reflection's Lawn Club is certainly our idea of paradise. -- Gerry
