ian441672 Posted July 11, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hi Looking ahead to our cruise on the Enchanted next July, the cruise ends in Rome. I have asked and Princess only offers their transfers to Fuimicino airport, not Ciampino. We can get good flights home from Ciampino and this would be our preferred airport, does anyone know how easy or feasible it would be to book private transfers after disembarking to Ciampino from the port? Is there a 'meet and greet' area where our driver could wait for us and easily take us to our car? Anyone done this? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted July 11, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Taxis are very expensive in Rome, so you are better taking a private car. Check the section on the port of Rome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look at the port of Rome section, I wasn't aware of that, thanks. I was just wondering if anyone had experience of a similar thing? Thanks again.

2theship Posted July 11, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 11, 2019 We've only flown out of Fiumicino but we've never taken a ship transfer. We've always been picked up by a private service - usually Rome In Limo - and there is no problem finding your driver once you've collected your baggage. There will be lots of private cars, just look for the driver with the sign that has your name on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cheap, but I guess this is the going rate these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnauzerguy Posted July 11, 2019 #9 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Another service you might check is Bob's Limousine, romelimousines.com. We used them a few years ago and the service was great. It is a little weird only from the stand point that the company is apparently based in Ohio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems easier than I thought and means a better flight home. Appreciate all the replies, thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted July 11, 2019 #11 Share Posted July 11, 2019 That sounds about right. The fixed fare for a taxi to FCO airport is 120 euro, and Ciampino is another 20k further so that rate seems fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted July 11, 2019 #12 Share Posted July 11, 2019 We have used Stefano's Rome Cabs. They meet us at the side of the ship and take us directly to either FCO or CIA. Have you flown from CIA before? It is mainly a military aerodrome used by RyanAir. Do give yourself plenty of time as it is chaotic. Only one food outlet, and generally disorganised.

ElmwoodPark Posted July 11, 2019 #13 Share Posted July 11, 2019 We are using sharedshuttle.it and for a shared shuttle, it is 60 Euros to FCO. I checked their website and they do go to CIA. They don't have a shared shuttle to CIA though but their private shuttle is 130 Euros. They also go to Rome Hotels which is what we are using them for. Also check out NCC Airport. They have a shared service and it is 100 Euros for two. Both of these companies appear to receive good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanair are the only company that can take us into Stanstead and we are only 40 minutes from there, which beats the 2.25 hours around the M25 from LHR! No airport lounge then I take it lol. It will be worth the chaos, I hope. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobal Posted July 13, 2019 #15 Share Posted July 13, 2019 We've used http://www.romeshuttlelimousine.com/ several times in the past both from and to Fiumicino. Since they are Rome based I would think they will do Ciampino too. We've booked them again for later in the year having looked at the prices on various other sites and found their pricing to be competitive.
