RoLyWe

Thank you. I've never cruised where the attractions are so far from the port so just wanted to make sure. I appreciate your input, having sailed often and your experience with Rome in Limo. Will reach out to them ASAP.

Thanks. I looked for the port and didn't see anything for those who are there only for a day. I did see a few comments within the particular cruise threat but the ones I saw didn't indicate whether they would pick you up at the port, and if there was an issue getting off the ship. Not sure how the prioritize when people can disembark.

Looking for information regarding best options for touring Rome to include the Vatican City, St Peter's Basilica and possibly Colosseum as well. I am concerned about finding a reliable tour company which would pick us up at the port and get us back in time if we don't book through NCL. Looking for recommendations.

The tour, through Viator, will pick us up from where ever we choose, hotel, port, etc. Because there will be 4 of us each with a check and a carry on bag, it will not likely fit in their tour van/shuttle as it is not a private tour. And it won't all fit into a rental car unless we get something extra large in which case it becomes cost prohibitive, even if we drove it up to Venice vs taking the train. Even if we could squeeze it all in, I think we would want to store the luggage at the train station while we drove tot eh castle/cave anyway as I agree that leaving the luggage exposed in a rental car does not seem wise. The tour I am looking at is through Viator. I have been to the castle before but the others I am traveling with have not. I love Slovenia and so wanted to give them the opportunity to see another country although not very far into it. We thought it would be a nice excursion before going up to Venice.

Thanks, I did repost it in the Italy Ports board. (Yeah, thought that was a little cryptic, but figured out what you meant. :D)

Topic has been moved to Italy Ports.

A few friends and I will be sailing into Trieste in July (NCL Escape from Barcelona) and would like to venture into Slovenia to visit Postojna Cave & Predjama Castle for a few hours before going up to Venice. Our concern is our luggage. We will have one check and one carry-on bag each. From what I have read the only storage is at the train station and I don't know how much time we would have after getting off the ship prior to the tour pick up. Does it make more sense to just rent a car for the day? The castle is only an hour from port. After the tour we would plan to take the train up to Venice. Has anyone taken this tour, and what are your thoughts about luggage storing for 5-6 hours? Thank you in advance.
