Review summary

Beautiful Ship different from any other. Celebrity Service and every employee goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Celebrity Select dining leaves a bit to be desired if you are a group of 10 not agreeing to a fixed dining room. Other than the dining reservation problem everything was perfect.

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
Spent 4 days before the cruise in Rome.

Catania, Sicily

4 out of 5
Port time too short for thorough visit of the beauty of Sicily. We did a private Godfather tour. Great time had by all.

Santorini, Greece

2 out of 5
Too many people on this island. A disappointment the only blue domes are the same 3 you see in every picture.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

5 out of 5
Great to see the original democratic seat of power with the Acropolis. Did a shore excursion which showed off old and new Athens.

Mykonos, Greece

4 out of 5
Very nice island to visit. No where near as crowded as Santorini.

Nafplion (Nauplion), Greece

4 out of 5
Visited the harbor town on our own. Very nice harbor town with very friendly natives and shop owners.

Katakolon (Olympia), Greece

4 out of 5
Did a tour to Olympia Archaelogical site. Very unique venue.

Valletta, Malta

5 out of 5
Nice to see the fortification of Malta. Great arrival into port by the forts of the past built of limestone. Well balanced stable country.

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5
Toured Sorrento, Amalfie Coast, and a winery on the way back to the ship with a private guide.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very organized and ahead of schedule.
