Our first Med cruise turned out to be the best vacation we've ever had. We flew in a few days early and stayed in Rome at the Albergo Del Senato, which overlooks the Pantheon. What a wonderful little hotel and marvelous beginning to our trip.
After two whirlwind days touring Rome we headed for the ship on Sept 15. We arrived about 12:45 and walked on the ship within minutes of our arrival. I was amazed at how quickly embarkation was handled.
Our stateroom was 1610, in AQ class and we loved it. It is one of the cabins on the "bump" and hence has a much larger balcony than most, which was very nice. The location of the stateroom, just off the elevators, was great. Our stateroom attendant, Sebastiano, was the best we've ever had. He also serviced the RS and PH, but took care of us as though we were in one of those high end accommodations! He had our room serviced within minutes of our departure, every time, he made sure my husband's beer was always full and he went out of his way to make sure we were happy with everything and of course, we were. The room was spotless!
1610- Excellent stateroom, extra large balcony. On the "bump" great views out and aft, can't see forward without leaning out. No noise from hall or above.
