Review summary

This was a gift from my wife to me for our anniversary. First, about the ship; beautiful , way beyond our expectations. Many little hideaways and small quaint areas to feel like you are alone. The specialty restaurants were fantastic and priced reasonably. The main dining room had different menu items every night unlike other cruise lines. With so many dining choices, we only made it there once. The grand buffet was great! So many items to choose from. They even had lobster! Enough about the food, let's talk about the ports of call. I highly recommend booking an excursion for every port that is tendered (at least). if you don't, then it could be 2 hours before you get off the ship and rush your time while at  port . All of the ports were well worth the time off the ship, if you can and you haven't been to Venice before, plan on staying a couple of days and just walk, its the most beautiful city in the world. Cant wait until next year to explore more of Italy and France.

Thanks for the review Charlie – we loved our time in Venice and our cruise aboard Celebrity Silhouette to the Eastern Mediterranean last week!
