Anacapri
Anacapri is one of the two administrative municipalities of the island of Capri. It rises on the slopes of Monte Solaro, and is where the Blue Grotto and Villa San Michele are located. Visitors shroud take the time to tackle the Phoenician steps in order to then enjoy the stunning views below.
Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto, whose beauty has been praised many times by many poets, is undoubtedly the best known spot in the island of Capri. The enclosed cave owes its name to the shade of blue that the pool of water takes on, thanks to the light that filters through a partially submerged opening.
Gardens of Augustus
The Gardens of Augustus make up a gorgeous city park on the island of Capri. It is an extensive botanical garden, hosting many different plants typical of the area. It also offers a breathtaking view of the Faraglioni rock formation, and the bay of Marina Piccola.
Marina Piccola
Marina Piccola is one of the tourist hot spots on the island of Capri. Located on the opposite side of the main port and not far from the gardens of Augustus, most visitors love to take a dip in its crystal clear waters and gaze at the view of the Faraglioni rock formation.
Monte Solaro
Mount Solaro, at 589 meters high, is formed by the same limestone of which the entire island of Capri is made. A hike here enables visitors to see around a thousand different species of plants, and the rare blue lizard, the only one of its kind in the world.
Ville San Michele
Villa San Michele is located in the municipality of Anacapri, in the north of the island. It owes its name to the ruins of a 10th century chapel dedicated to San Michele. The villa is also home to a majestic statue of a sphinx looking out to sea, which dates back to the reign of Ramses II in the 13th century BC.
Mount Vesuvius
The profile of Naples would not be the same without Mount Vesuvius that dominates the city skyline. Versuvius is known for the violent eruption of AD 79, which became famous for the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum, and was witnessed by Pliny the Younger.
Pompeii
The history of Pompeii begins in the 9th century BC, when the area was inhabited by the Opici people - an ancient Latin population. Today the town is famous because of the eruption of Vesuvius, which occurred in 79 AD, which led to its total destruction.

The opening of the historic National Archaeological Museum of Naples took place in 1816. Built by Ferdinando I of Borbone, at the time king of the Two Sicilies, it boasts the richest collection of works and archaeological finds with regard to Roman history.

It was then used to store building materials until the 18th century, when the papacy decided it should be preserved. As it stands now, however, more than two-thirds of the structure has been destroyed.
Sistine Chapel

In the year 609 it was converted to a Christian church, although it is still widely known as the Pantheon.
Piazza Navona
This popular public square is located where the (now fallen) Stadium of Domitian once stood, in 86 A.D.

This was our first cruise on celebrity and as such we were looking forward to a new experience. First impressions of the ship were great. People had said she looked tatty but I do don't see that. Public rooms are lovely. Well designed and airy. The first disappointment was the cabin. It was small and there was not much feeling we were in ' concierge class'. We had been told celebrity was much more luxurious than p&o. We disagree. The welcome champagne on celebrity is not presented in an ice bucket but stuffed in the fridge and it's sparking wine. Totally different to p&o . First world issues but it was the overall theme behind everything. It felt that everything was as cheaply done as possible. It was almost impossible to get served in the bars as there were no deck staff offering drinks and barmen were in short supply, disgruntled and as one said to me when I went to the sunset bar at 10.00pm 'if you didn't come here I could have closed early'. This poor service is due to the inclusion of drinks packages in ticket costs; so the more celebrity gives you the more it costs. Food and service in the dining room and self service areas better than p&o and the passengers overall who were friendly and fantastic fun, made up for the tired miserable and often ignorant bar staff. At the end of the 11 night cruise we were asking what was 'celebrity' about the experience. We're still unsure
Just returned from a very enjoyable cruise and agree that the crew were without exception very polite and went out of their way to please. The food was plentiful and delicious, although at times the buffet restaurant can get rather hectic and quite crowded. Have just booked two more cruises on her, so am starting my diet now!!
Brilliant, Brilliant and Brilliant!!!! We loved the ship and our Concierge Class Cabin. However, we were a bit annoyed that we'd paid over a year ago - and people who had only just booked - got an upgrade. It was also their first time with Celebrity!!! Apart from that - everything with Celebrity Silhouette was fantastic. The places we visited were good - especially St. Petersburg. Truly memorable. Would love to return. We will definitely book a Celebrity cruise in the future
As usual this ship is beautiful. The whole crew go out of there way to please. Ship does need a spruce up outside but I believe this will be done spring 2020. Food on board excellent except Main Cuvee restaurant which in my opinion was not good. waiting staff fine but actual food and choice was not a patch on the last time we sailed on this ship.
Apart from the drink prices(extortionate), everything about this ship was great. Best ship I've been on so far. Beautiful ship, wonderful staff and the food was amazing. The staterooms are also larger than most other ships I've been on. Already looking to book a cruise on this ship (or another Celebrity) again!!
Our Norwegian Cruise from Southampton was hot and sunny for 4 days, we had beautiful scenery and towns. The ship was great, our room was large and with a balcony. Very comfortable. The food was outstanding - both at the buffet and restaurant. We had issues with getting seats in the buffet at breakfast and lunch though. The coffee shop with cakes was excellent, the bars were good but not great. We don't get the grass bit, it seemed like wasted space. Otherwise it was a great place to spend a week.
The cruise was excellent. We cannot criticise the organisation of the booking etc from Iglu, will definitely use them again. The ship was absolutely first class, as were alll the staff members with the exception of the cruise director who thought we were at a holiday camp. The food was also top quality and our waiters, Sam and Vijoe friendly but professional.
Fabulous couldn't ask for more. The only problem I had with your firm was that the literature said we would have flowers and fruit in our room but Celebrity Cruises have now stopped providing these. But to be fair our stateroom attendant did find us flowers and they last for 7 days. .
Wonderful experience from joining in Southampton to disembarking at the same port 14 days later. The ships crew were a lovely crowd, happy to go the extra mile for you, attentive and seemed to enjoy their work. The food was exquisite, perfectly prepared and lovingly served. The buffets too were tremendous. Our stateroom was well proportioned, magnificently presented and kept perfect by our steward, Hamilton. Great balcony too. The on board entertainment, cast, director and musicians gave superb shows, different each night, with guest stars on occasion. Mick Miller was a treat and a perfect gent. Even the quite rough Atlantic couldn’t marr our Celebrity experience so much so that we’ve booked another cruise whilst on board. Fantastic two weeks.
Embarkation was very good. The first cabin assistant I had was very good then he had to go home, and his replacement didn't have a clue. The ship was very clean and the pool area was kept very clean all day long.
