Additional details
Background: The package was put together by a travel agent and was chosen for the following reasons:
a, 2 night pre-cruise stay in Rome, b, to experience Silverseas and compare against other 5/6 star cruises already taken, c, a 3 day post cruise stay in Venice.
Rome Hotel: St. George hotel in Rome is well situated for walking to the main sites. The room was not large but comfortably furnished. The hotel, in an old building, is decorated and furnished in a modern style.
Cabin Review
Suffers horrendous noise from between 1.5 to 1hr. before anchoring and mooring to 1hr after those events. The noise comes from the work involved in bringing the ship to a stop - dragging chain/warps, bow thruster motors operating, winches letting go and tensioning chain etc. All this work is in a workspace next to the suite wall. (the same noise/work goes on at sailing time but we were out of the cabin and elsewhere on the ship then.)A good cabin for early risers (3am was the earliest the noise started on one day)
