It's a must to schedule a week extra before or after to visit Rome.
Use the free shuttle or pay 6 Euro to go to train station in the city to take train to Rome or Airport. Very cheap to use trains. 40-50 Euro each to use a shared taxi . ...
You can definitely not see enough of Rome in one day! I wish it would have been an overnight port. We chose to see the Colosseum and spent most of our time there.

Got to see Rome via the extension. If you do just the 8-day cruise, you won’t tour Rome unless you stay after the cruise. Worth it to see the classic sites, great food. But, a dirty city. ...

Rome is beyond amazing. 2 days was just barely ...
