Traveled with children

Just returned from the 12 day sailing and it was a fabulous time. Travelled with my husband and 2 daughters aged 10 and 13. I had done a lot of research on the ports in advance and I wanted to ensure we saw as much as possible on a budget. I found the cruiselines tours to be very expensive for a family of 4 ad I was hoping we could save some money doing things on our own. Mission accomplished, we saved a ton and probably saw just as much on our own.

Booked our transfers to Civatavecchia and return to Venice through airportstaxitransfers.com , they were on time and very reliable no complaints here. It was about 135 Euro for the Rome Transfer and 70 Euro for Venice and they picked us up at 4am no problem as we had a very early flight back home.

In Livorno we took the cruise lines transfer to the train station and then bought out own train tickets into Florence. It was about a hour or so and no problems getting off at Santa Maria Novella and finding our way. Just look for the Duomo and start walking. On the return we gave ourselves plenty of time , checked the boards at the station and got on the train that said Livorno. Unfortunately, they decided to change the route to Pisa and we stopped at every little town which made us miss our connection in Pisa so we had to spend 50 Euro to take a taxi back to the ship. It was a bit hairy, so make sure you ask lots of people and the train worker if you are on the right train.
