Spent 2 days before the cruise here and toured on our own. Did a golf cart tour of Rome and this was really good. The golf cart driver/tour guide was a crazy driver but sometimes you have to be with how crazy the roads are there. ...
The port of Civitavecchia is actually a 70 min train journey from Rome, we were lucky that this was the end of our cruise and we had a two night stay in Rome planned before flying home. Rome is a great city and some many sights to see, too many ruins to view, they seem to be everywhere. Some great architecture to view. We bought a 24 hour hop on hop off ticket and initially just sat on the bus and ...
We disembarked in Rome but booked the optional post-cruise extension. The hotel was substandard (little hot water in the bathroom, lights that mysteriously came on at 320 am) but Rome is a magical, indoor-outdoor art museum, filled with history everywhere. The airport transfer was flawless. ...
We didn’t do an excursion as we have stayed in Rome and done other excursions in previous cruises. We wandered into the old part of the city. It was extremely crowded getting away from the ship as it was a Friday and an embarkation/disembarking from other ships. ...
flew to Rome, slept one3 night, spend a wonderful full day, food tour that was great, evening at the M`rtyini & Rossi restaurant across the road from the Coliseum, a dream! then of to Civitavecchia the morning after, with Roma Cabs , fabulous transfer. ...
They should not advertise this port as Rome because it is an hour away by train. It took us an hour to walk from the ship to the train station. The port is pretty far away from the city. The Civitavecchia was a nice town, just deceiving when listed as Rome on the itinerary. ...
