Celebrity Reflection, the latest ship in the fleet of Celebrity Cruises, will miss a port of call on its current Trans-Atlantic positioning voyage due to a technical problem, passengers have been informed.

The ship is on its way from Barcelona to Florida and it called at Malaga yesterday. However, a planned called at Tenerife will be omitted and the ship will proceed directly to the US, according to Teijo Niemela, editor of Cruise Business Online, who is travelling on the ship.

The ship had experienced problems on its previous cruise, he said. The passengers have been told that the problems do not compromise the safety of maneouvrability of the vessel that was delivered from Meyer Werft in Germany earlier this autumn.
