The 2 nights in Rome would be at the Diana Roof garden hotel:-

Seems like a good deal though you will need to organise your own tranfers.

The transfers in Rome are very expensive if you want a private one and the shuttle buses are tedious, but cheaper. Takes about 1.5 hours. There is also a train from Central Rome to Civitavecchia where the ship will be, but beware - there is a very long walk from the platform to the exit. I am talking about a mile which is difficult when you have luggage.
