SydAus Posted February 7, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hope someone could give us some information regarding time needed to disembark. As first-time cruisers we're a little worried if this is enough time to get past customs and immigration and get transportation for an internal flight Travel agent has us booked for a MSC Fantasia cruise arriving in Genoa on the 7th Of October at 8.00 am. They have also chosen a 11.40 am Flight from Genoa to Rome on the same day for a tour starting that evening. Appreciate any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted February 7, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Welcome to Cruise Critic. Two suggestions for you. Ask on the MSC board here, under Cruise Lines A-O. Ask on the area of the Ports of Call board that covers Italy/Genoa. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchhalm Posted February 9, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2018 There are frequent direct trains from Genoa to Rome. Usually at least 2 trains per hour and it takes under 5 hours. Given the time and hassle it takes to and from the airport, Check In time etc, you don't safe a lot of time. Plus you would see something along the way. An option to consider. Port to train station is a 5 min taxi ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SydAus Posted February 17, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Thanks for your reply. The Flight time tables never coincided very well with the departure of the cruise. It appear the trains seem to be far easier option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdvmd Posted March 7, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 7, 2018 We disembarked in Genoa and walked right off and went to our MSC coach. Our daughter was flying home to AMS and went straight to the taxi line and was at the airport probably 15 minutes later. It is 7 km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
