I left Montreal on air sardine can ..aka Air Transat on July 14 Our cruise was scheduled to leave Civitavecchia on the 17 of July first for Eastern Med then WEstern Med In total 20 days
I booked my hotel the RAGANELLI on Via Aurelia on Hotels.com at a fairly reasonable price .Room was clean bathroom nice but this hotel is a bit far from Central Rome Since my focus was to be near the Vatican it worked out OK
Francesca at the desk was most accommodating with wifi etc Breakfast was nice I enjoyed the Cappucinos and always got ice in my water bottle
