We are a retired couple who cruise one to two times a year. Or used to, I think we are re-thinking the current cruise quality overall.
We have been on NCL, Princess, RCCL, and Celebrity more than once each. Since starting to cruise in 1990's, we have noticed a decline in the quality of all aspects of cruising in general. More on this later.
We took a transatlantic cruise on Celebrity Equinox on the 28th of November 2011. We left from Citaveccia Italy after 4 days in Rome. We flew in on our own, made our own hotel reservations and transfers from the airport. We found a wonderful 4euro each person, bus from the Airport to the Train Depot in the center of the city. Our great hotel was 3 blocks away and we carried our own luggage there and back. We took the train to the port from Rome, about 9euro each.
8322, great room, quiet, good balcony. Bed near the window, not near the door. Medium size closet, nice bath with glass doors on shelves. Flat screen tv, free on demand movies.
