My husband and I arrived in Italy 11 days prior to our cruise and spent four nights in Venice and a week in Rome.
The night before departure we stayed in Civitavecchia at the Hotel San Giorgio for the convenience of being in close proximity to the port.
The Celebrity Reflection is the latest ship in the Solstice class and she is beautiful! Tastefully decorated, an abundance of facilities and we never felt that we were sharing her with another 3000 passengers!
