Transfer times

[mjtripper]

I have made my transfer arrangements with a car service (romeinlimo) now I am re-thinking that the times may be a bit too early.

 

How long does it take to get from Rome (Albergo Santa Chiara) to cruise port?

I requested a 10:30 am pick up time. Wondering if this is too early or should I bump this up? We will be traveling on a Friday morning.

 

How long does it take to get from the cruise port to FCO? We have a 12:55 pm flight to Amsterdam flying out of terminal 1. I requested an 8:30 am pick up time. We will be traveling on a Monday morning. Again does this seem like a good time or is it a bit too early?

 

I guess I should have asked before I made my reservation....

thanks

Both times look pretty good to me.

In terms of Civitavecchia to FCO, it's probably better to err on the side of caution. It normally takes a bit less than an hour from the cruise port to FCO, but if you are arriving on a busy day, it's well advised to arrive about 3 hours before your flight to allow sufficient time to go through all the lines without stressing.

 

From Rome to Civitavecchia it may be just a bit over an hour by road. Personally, I see no reason to rush to the ship. I'd rather enjoy a nice half day in Rome, eat lunch, then go to the terminal to check in. Of course, it depends what time your ship leaves, but to me, 10:30 would be early.

I'd want to be at FCO at 11 AM for this flight (you won't clear passport control until Amsterdam), so I think your pickup is a tad on the early side. If you get there at 9:30 (based on an 8:30 pickup) I think you'll find that the desk for your flight won't even be opened yet so you won't be able to check your bags and move beyond the first step anyway.

I like to be early instead of late, so getting to places early will ease my anxiety. But just as euro cruiser said, the check-in counter may not be ready for you. This happened to us when we were there last November. We had to wait a couple of hours for them to open.

Your pickup at the port is perfect. It is never too early to get to the FCO airport and it if was me that is what I would do. It can be chaotic at times.

We has arranged a pick up for 8 am from RomeCabs, after getting on the ship they said we could get off between 7 and 7:30, I just emailed to the cab co and they were there at 7:30 when we walked off the ship, it took 45-50 minutes at that time of the day to get to the airport. We had a 11:50 flight and had a good hour left to shop before the flight.
