This was our 3rd cruise on Celebrity but have been on many other cruises, mostly with Princess but also with Seabourn, Holland America and Royal Carribbean.

This cruise was 12 days from Amsterdam to Rome in early September with stops in Bruges, Bilbao,Lisbon,Cadiz, Gibraltar,Cartagena, Palma, Mallorca, Florence and Rome.

The embarkation was one of the quickest we have ever had. We got to ship around 11 and must have been on the ship by 11:15! As is customary with Celebrity the cabins were not available until 1 so we walked around and had lunch in buffet area. Read more
