We chose this cruise partly for the ports and also because we had been with celebrity before. The ship was spotless and the staff, particularly the cabin and restaurant staff extremely helpful. Our cabin was spacious and had plenty of storage. We had a window and I particularly enjoyed being able to lie on the comfortable bed and look out.
Embarkation at Rome was efficient but disembarkation was a little haphazard. We had to ask numerous times where to pick up the shuttle bus to the entrance of the port.
We spent a couple of nights in Rome as part of the trip along with about 60 other passengers. The hotel was satisfactory apart from not opening the restaurant on a Sunday night. Transfer to the ship very efficient.
Spacious . Spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and enough storage. Slight noise from engine at times when docking
Made our own way around as had visited there before
Enjoyed visit. Very pretty and easy to get into by free shuttle bus.
Had already been to Ephesus so did not do the tour. Hassled everywhere so returned to the ship quite quickly. Maps from the ship were poor .
Preferred this port as we weren't so threatened. There was a free shuttle boat to the town which we found by accident. We were not told on the ship. Lovely promenade to walk back which took about 10- 15 mins
