Full story would kinda be an hassle as my English aint exactly fluent, but Ill try somehow; it involved arriving 1240 on the airport (departure time 5 pm), taking the wrong move (hindsight) and gambling to take the one and only train which would arrive on time (FCO->Rome Termini->Civitavecchia Port) instead of just jump in a taxi.
Managed to catch the first train seconds before it left (or so I thought), got way too relaxed and suddenly realised that we should have been on Rome Termini 5 minutes earlier. Guess the train conductor, whom I asked whether the train went to termini, didnt really understand and uknowingly just said yes. As it clearly was the wrong route.
Should have arrived in Civitavecchia 3 PM, suddenly found ourself (me and my daughter) in a random place in Rome with no train to catch and a clock running far too fast. No taxi to be seen, lots of ppl waiting. Realised that I had one chance only; to hijack the first arriving taxi.
And it worked, luckily enough, even tho the taxi driver couldnt a single word of English. 1 1/2 hours later we walked into the departure hall and everything went smooth from there (spoked with NCL while sitting in the taxi and got the message that it was important to arrive no later then 4 pm. Succeeded with 1 minute to spare).
A few critically wrongs made by stress in the moment and an agent booking dangerously late tickets
