We choose the Med. for practical reasons, such as a relatively short flight to Rome, as well as chances of nice Summer weather. Celebrity is not cheap but nice. So I think this has value for money but cheap it is not.

We arrived at the airport in Rome and was met by Celebrity staff, was guided to a buss and we were on our way on the roughly 1 hours drive to the cruise terminal. The check in and boarding took no time at all and we were on our way on board. As we came in roughly around noon our staterooms were ready at once. We love the sunset veranda staterooms for the view, and mostly quiet area. The only times you hear noise here is when we dock in the morning. Our stateroom attendant, Jaime, was great.

Food, we visited MDG, Murano, Tuscan Grille, Lawn Bar Grille, and al Bachio (coffee shop) as well as most of the bars on board. Service was outstanding in all outlets. Food as well. Our servers in the Main restaurant, Morales, Russel, Carlos were fantastic, it was also nice to see Server Mario that we knew from last year. Aldo in Lawn bar Grill is also great. I have only one little question about specialty coffees, in al Bachio they are normally good, but in busy times they cheat a little and the milk is not steamed as well as it should be, and I would hope that the staff in all outlets know how to steam millk, that is not evident from what I see around.
