September 27, 2011 Celebrity Silhouette Cruise Review

Our cruise vacation was in one word fabulous. We began with an Air Canada direct flight to Rome from Montreal, which was incredibly easy and smooth, after a tense week of worrying about a strike canceling our flight. We landed in Rome on time, passed through immigration and retrieved our bags quickly. Roma Shuttle was supposed to meet us in the arrivals hall. After looking for the driver for about 20 minutes, I called the company, and they called the driver, who came a few minutes later. This was a bit annoying after a long flight, but worked out fine.

We stayed at the Hotel Lancelot, near the Colosseum. It was a great hotel. The service was friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, with our own terrace on the first floor (our second floor). We spent the first day walking for hours. The weather was sunny and pleasant. We saw the Palatine Hill, Roman Forum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and Spanish steps, before taking a free walking tour that departs nightly from the Spanish Steps at 5:30 pm. This tour was very interesting. We tipped the guide at the end for a great experience. The second day in Rome was spent touring the underground and third floor of the Colosseum, on a reserved guided tour, then leisurely walking around, shopping and ending the day with a great dinner at our hotel, where you sit at tables with other guests, and share great conversation and good food.
