Hank, thank you for your helpful reply. And also cor the reminder to call the credit card company. How much do you usually take with you for a two week vacation assuming you have all your excursions and tours paid for but will be visiting Rome and Milan for a couoke of days each?

Such a great idea, thank you

Thank you for your reply, very helpful

Very helpful, thanks much. I know this really depends on each individual but if I have all the excursions already booked and paid for, and we just would like to explore the city and maybe get on the bus to the port. how much do you approx. would you suggest I take with me in Euros? Thank you

You have helped me tremendously throughout this whole planning. Many years ago, I decided to go on my first cruise and posted here on this forum and some users were very *critic* so I logged off and never planned my cruise. I really appreciate all your help with each and every question I had

Wait, this really happened??

Now this sounds like a good idea! Thank you ☺️

I appreciate your comment, this is so true. Thank you!

Good call, thank you

Is credit card widely acceptable in Italy (and other cities i.e. cruise ports in Ephesus and Greece)? Also, wherr do I get euro to bring with me, from the US or exchange places in Rome? Thank you

Yes, I saw those comments too and thought what a great idea, then saw another comment saying what if the lock doesn't open and you miss your stop because the suitcase is attachdd to the rack. So, that got me worried

Perfect, thank you so much

Very well said, thanks much. I really appreciate it.

Very nice, thank you. I was also Googling each one of these to see the distance from Colosseum, Will save your reply. Thank you

Oh sorry I had missed that, thank you

We will be in Rome with my 9 year old kid and were wondering how close these sights are to each other as I don't believe Google map provides step by step direction for walking, but anyway, I would like to plan ahead if possible. Our hotel is close to Colosseum: Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri San Bernardo alle Terme Santa Maria della Vittoria Museo di scultura antica Giovanni Barracco Spanish steps Trevi fountain Assuming we will start walking from our hotel, in which order would you suggest we visit these sights and how long will these visits take? Trying to make sure my kid does not get tired or lose interest! Thank you!

Thanks much for checking, and yes, that is indeed my train to Milan: Frecciarossa 9624. So I am guessing the first train from Civi to Rome does not stop in between? I purchased my tickets from Trenitalia.

Sure, thank you. It's Train: FrecciaBianca 8601. We also have purchased other train tickets, are the ticket trains usually refundable? I tried to request the refund on their website but the search remains spinning and no result!

We will be traveling from Civitavecchia to Milan centrale on a Freccia train, trying to go and stand next to my suitcase at each stop since it would be from our seats. 1) Was wondering how many stops will be between these two locations? 2) Also, what will happen if we miss our train? Can we get on the next one? 3) Will we be able to cancel the train tickets and get a refund? Thank you

Thanks much

Exactly, I was not planning on carrying anything valuable in there. Just a sweater for me and my kid, a hat, Clorox, wet ones, things like this.

Perfect, thank you so much for your reply

Do they allow backpacks in Rome and Pompeii? This is the one I was interested in: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CREF88U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and Which places in Rome we should not have our backpacks with us?

Thank you for your reply, very well said. Last night I was trying to explore the RC app and noticed an activity that was sold out the entire time has now two spots! It takes us to Positano, Sorrento and Pompeii! So I booked it immediately. That way, I don't have to worry about missing the ship at least 🙂

@euro cruiserI will get 1.5 hrs in Positano, hopefully that will be enough for trying some lemon pastry and a walk around as well as being able to visit Amalfi coast. Still exploring other options and researching the close by areas. if I followed everything you mentioned correctly, these would be the two trips I should select, correct?
