Rare DamianG Posted February 17, 2021 #201 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) A day out in Livorno for us, starting at Acquario di Livorno & finishing with a late lunch at La Perla del Gusto. We also took photos of the Bagni Lido which we will hopefully get to use on a future visit. Edited February 17, 2021 by DamianG 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann141 Posted February 18, 2021 #206 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Citivecchia Because we had previously visited Rome we decided to explore Citivecchia on our cruise in April 2019 on Aurora.We didn't stay long because the weather was awful and when we arrived at the dockside the port authorities weren't letting anyone or any cars on the dockside because the wind was blowing water and stones over the sea wall! We had to wait in a terminal building until we were advised to go back into Citivecchia to get some lunch as it was likely to be a while before we could get back on board.I think there were about 200 of us in a similar situation.Several tugs were sent to hold Aurora against the harbour wall.We eventually got back on to the ship. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aulanis Posted February 18, 2021 #210 Share Posted February 18, 2021 First time in Civitavecchia we thought would be our last!!! Arrived after a cruise debarked and waited for our taxi transfer and waited and waited. Eventually got them on the phone and we think ( no speaka da italiano) they said they stopped doing port pickups months ago! Well plane waits for no man so 100 euro later we get a taxi bringing someone to the ship to take us to the airport. That was enough (apart from being unable to spell it ) to put us off going again. Of course eventually we did as a port stop - dont think we would chance ending a cruise there again. Anyway this is that second visit - we have been to Rome a couple of times so had planned on going to Tarquinia Didnt go it was around the time they changed many of the bus stops and we couldnt find where the bus went from though it was at the opposite end of the town to where the port shuttle dropped us. We then decided to just do what we usually do and explore so all our pics are in Civi...... There is also a quick history I will show first. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aulanis Posted February 18, 2021 #211 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I am sure there is lots more to see but these are my pic picks. The weather was somewhat better than for @ann141 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eddie99 Posted February 18, 2021 #212 Share Posted February 18, 2021 We’ve only docked there once and had the ‘unfortunate winds’ experience too. Must be quite challenging for the captain & navigational crew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted February 18, 2021 #213 Share Posted February 18, 2021 On our last visit to Civitavecchia we just stayed on board. Although we have visited Rome on other occasions. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzywiz Posted February 18, 2021 #216 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Hi everyone, what a fantastic series of pictures and, as Eddie99 says, it is wonderful to see the blue skies and also to see crowds of people.....will we ever get back to that?? I haven't had chance to post pictures as I've been having computer problems but now it is fixed, i hope you don't mind me doing a 'catch up' so I'm starting in Southampton and making my way, in port order, to Civitavecchia....

Rare DamianG Posted February 18, 2021 #225 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Civitavecchia is our son's favourite port. Lunch at Mastro Titta, an afternoon at SNC Civitavecchia Water Polo club and a nice stroll down the promenade back to the port.
