As a first time cruiser, I've got to say, we made the right choice in choosing the Celebrity Reflection and the Eastern Med. Cruise. Lets say I got many bonus points for selecting this cruise for our 20th anniversary.
This will be my step by step attempt to point out some of the key items of our cruising adventure.
Arrived in Rome the day before and we chose to use the American Express Travel service in hooking us up with a very posh hotel in Rome. Hotel Caverelli (Waldorf Astoria). What an incredible hotel and the service was AWESOME. If you book it through American Express, the hotel rates are lower, plus you receive an upgraded room. We also booked a night-time Segway tour of the city. That was a great way to get around the city and see many sites. I would say some were not worth seeing... some we were very appreciative to see. It gives you a great way to get around and pick the sites you may want to see the next day.
