Thank you to all, that's super helpful. 🙏 Knowing what my husband and kids are like, if the latest we need to be out of the room by is 8am, we will be out of the room by 8.05am. 😂 Then walk down to breakfast to grab the last remnants before they close (story of our lives, no matter what time breakfast closes at!). I assume we'll be done eating by 8.40am, then to the meeting point to disembark (8.45am-9am) We'll need to pick up our bags, so I'm assuming that takes around 15 minutes. Therefore I think we could be ready to be picked up between 9am - 9.15am. I've looked at train timings and have decided to take a shared shuttle which gives a nice balance of convenience vs price. (Thanks to those who gave recommendations!) And will reserve the train experience for the return to the airport, since our hotel is 1 stop from Termini station and it looks like an easy journey from there.

Hi, we will be cruising on Odyssey of the Seas, docking at Rome Civitatecchia at 5am on a Sunday in late August I'm aware it can take several hours to disembark, and to be honest, we are not morning people so I'm very happy to leave as late as allowed. I understand we will not be told when our slot to disembark will be until we are already on the ship (would this be the day before?) Once we leave the ship we need to transfer to a hotel in Rome. I'm looking into transfer options (e.g. private transfer, maybe train if it's not too difficult) but I'm not sure how to plan it if we don't know what time we will get off. I'm travelling with two kids so trying to be as efficient as possible. What do other people do? If we decide to book a private transfer, do we need to put the latest possible time and and hang about if we get off early? And if yes, what's a realistic sort of time (again, we will not be volunteering to be first off haha!! but I have no idea if the latest disembarkation is more like 8am or more like 10am etc) Thank you!
