Rome (Civitavecchia) Cruise Reviews

Stayed at Civitavecchia. Pleasantly surprised on day of arrival French Street Market. Lovely promenade to walk along and lots of big hotels. Give Rome a miss and try it here. ...

Choose what you want to see as there is too much even for a weekend. Bought ticket for Forum, Colosseum and Palatine Hill at the entrance to the Forum near the museum. Still met with a huge queue for Colosseum. Offerred to join a tour group for extras15e which we did and beat the queues. Should be ticket machines available to enter the Forum and and entrance joining Forum and Colosseum. Touts all ...

Hired a private driver to take us to Hadrian' villa and Tivoli Gardens-EXCEPTIONAL!!! Then, in Athens, took a tour to the Acropolis and the new museum-WONDERFUL!! ...

Took the train into Rome (14 Euro each) ...

Was able to see Easter Mass with the Pope, great walking tour and the Colosseum. Most expensive excursion but well worth it. Guide was great. ...

We had a couple of days in Rome pre-cruise. An amazing place. We were particulary fond of the Roman Forum and the scale of the buildings. ...

We embarked at Civitavecchia, this wasn't a port visit as such. However, we have been into Civitavecchia before and it's very nice. Small, clean, plenty of internet cafes. ...

Rode the free bus to Rome to see the highlights, then got off at the Vatican and wandered from there to Termini train station, stopping at the Pantheon, Forum, and many other historic sights along the way. Back to Civitavechia by train that night. ...

Transfers to the airport, which is what I did, are always a bit troublesome. I arranged a van in advance, which cost each of our eight travelers 35 euros. Not cheap, but still about half of what HAL charges.....and we traveled fast at the time we wanted. ...

I debarked in romes and stayed at the grand hotel minerve. ...
