Review summary

We enjoyed the 7 days at sea very much. However, the 1 disappointment came on day 2 when we received "snacks" (concierge class) consisting of stale tostito chips, olives, slimey spread plus 2 shrimp (1) for each. This same same thing was delivered each day except for the change in the "shrimp" part of the 4 piece dish. Then the Inet did not work for a majority of the cruise. The food was plentiful, great variety and very good. The intertainment was excellent for the most part and the staff couldn't be nicer. The tours taken were fun and very informative although the one to Tintari was very overpriced and a bit disappointing. All I can say you'd have to try it yourself and make your own decision. Things change with every cruise.

The bus to Rome was well worth the money but be careful of cabbies who like to run up the meter taking you on a tour instead of directly to the hotel. Try the Metro (if you don't mind standing). People very friendly and tried hard to understand our English. The Police at the Vatican, however, were extremely rude and unhelpful.

Thanks for the review AandK! We’ll be sailing aboard Celebrity Silhouette this summer (different itinerary) and are really looking forward to it. Hopefully the internet connection will be more cooperative than what you found…
