cprofits Posted May 17, 2010 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I cannot find someone to share a tour with us from our roll call so we are considering joining a private tour arranged by someone on an RCCL ship that will be in port the same day we are. I just wanted to make sure this was a good idea and that the two ships (HAL and RCCL) would sort of be in the same place. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirlWriter Posted May 17, 2010 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I haven't been yet, but in looking at Rick Steves' Italy 2010 book, it appears that there is only one cruise ship port in Livorno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two areas in Livorno where cruise ships dock and they are quite a distance from each other. One is near the city itself and the other is somewaht north and east, in a truly industrial area.

texancruzer Posted May 18, 2010 #4 Share Posted May 18, 2010 And even if you both dock at the large industrial dock area......IT IS HUGE. Our guide told us it is the largest port in Italy and one of the largest in the Mediterranean. I believe it. It took us 15 minutes of driving to get out of just the port area :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were just there last month and we docked at the one much further than the town and other times we have been much closer to the town.

KKSpea Posted May 18, 2010 #6 Share Posted May 18, 2010 We were just there and everyone was either shuttled out or on a tour. There were no taxis inside the port. You are not allowed to walk out. Be sure to find out if they're close! HAL was right beside us (RCCL) when we were there last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
