KieransMom Posted August 2, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2013 If disembarking the Norwegian Epic in Civitavecchia, does an 11:50am flight give me enough time to get to the airport (FCO)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted August 2, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2013 When will your ship start debarkation? It is an hour or so from the port to the airport. Most recommend at least 2 hours at the airport to get thru baggage check in, security and find your way to the gate. So you would have to be off the ship early enough to get your luggage, clear immigration and customs if needed) and get a car (you should book one in advance) and be on the way by 8:45 or so.

KieransMom Posted August 2, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Debarkation starts around 8:00am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberge Posted August 2, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Just an aside note here...if you are going in high season you may want to give yourself more time at the airport especially if you have not flown out of FCO before.It can be daunting at times.If you can't get off by 8:00(and I mean 8) I'd say you are pushing it.

KirkNC Posted August 3, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 3, 2013 If you can get off at 8:00 sharp, you should be ok, its about 45 minutes to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted August 3, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 3, 2013 11:50 AM will be fine. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy116 Posted August 7, 2013 #7 Share Posted August 7, 2013 We are booked for an RCCL cruise from Civitevecchia, with flights from FCO. I called to double check and was told they don't recommend taking a flight any earlier than 1 pm if the ship docks at 8 a.m. Our last cruise from there, our ship docked at 5 am, and the earlier flight would have worked fine. I know things can go wrong with (1) time we dock (2) getting our luggage (3) any problem we could encounter on the road to FCO (4) any problem at the airport. We've decided to spend an extra night in Rome, just to make sure we won't be stressed, because there are very few afternoon flights to choose from. It doesn't hurt to think of spending just one more night in Rome having a nice glass of wine and people watching before going to have one last gelato :D.

euro cruiser Posted August 7, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 7, 2013 For an 11:50 flight that is NOT going to the United States (or Israel) you should be fine. I would, however, choose to carry off my own luggage and hit the road as soon after 8 AM as possible, just to provide a little pad. It should only take an hour to reach the airport, so even after going through things at the port you ought to be there by 9:30 or 10 AM at the latest.
