Thanks

The way you talk about public beach is as if its the name of a beach. But I can't find one called public beach. If you mean seven mile beach, how would I find the same spot as you on such a big beach?

Ship docks at 5am. If I book a car for 8.30 to get to hotel before 10.30 - seem reasonable? If I decide to carry my own luggage, let's say I leave ship at 8.15 - What time will I need to leave room and I imagine I then have to carry luggage around whilst getting breakfast? Mark

Thanks for all this. I don't fancy taking a train, too many moving parts to add extra stress. John, what were your reasons for a train? Cost, convenience, speed? What was your main motivator given it's more fiddly than just booking a car? Mark

Thanks everyone. 119E does seem to be about the price I can find for a private shuttle. Maybe leaving at 830 will give us plenty of wiggle room. Need to be at tour 11am. Hotel is 5 minutes walk to Coliseum. Need to check luggage in to hotel. May have time for a icecream if we are lucky. Options for leaving the ship are - 1. Walk off with own cases. 2. Get into the right timed group without cases. So if I book a car for 8.30 - and leave ship at 8.15, will that work with either option? Last time I disembarked a ship, someone else took one of my cases so it delayed us. This time have coloured belts for the luggage so shouldn't be an issue. Which option is best?

Thanks. How do I decide what time to start getting off to get to a car at a set time?

Hi, sorry not a sexy title but I have a quandary. My cruise arrives in Port at 5am. I need to book transport to an hotel in Rome and want to get there fairly early around 1030. I want to go on an underground coliseum tour at 1130. But I have no idea what time I will get off ship and thru customs ready for a waiting car. Let's say, I want to get in the car at 9am. I imagine that will give me enough time to get to the hotel in cental Rome. What do I need to do to make this happen? BTW, it will be the Beyond in August so pretty excited.
