maryland Posted June 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Not sure where to ask this question since it’s specific to the Odyssey, but here goes: Trying to book train tickets for our upcoming cruise. We’re doing a private transfer from Rome to the ship, but will be taking the train back to Rome after the cruise. If we are self-carry, what time can we expect to be allowed to disembark? I know there’s an FB train at 9:16 and 11:16 and regional trains in between which take longer. Would we be able to make the 9:16 train? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseboy89130 Posted June 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Take any regional train not much difference in time but a lot in price and you will be very flexible.... Should be able to be at the train station taking the €3 bus by 8.30 am at the latest.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonsai3s Posted June 6, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Odyssey out of Civitavecchia...walk off starts at approximately 6:30am. Yes, you can easily make the 9:16am train. * What are your plans to get from the ship to the train station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks There’s no need for a private transfer to the train station. There’s a shuttle for I think 3 euros that was there when we disembarked, and others kept coming in the terminal. we booked the 11 something train to Pisa/Lucca and had plenty of time. I think we got off the ship around 9. A note of warning that the trains in Italy go on strike very frequently, in fact ours from Lucca to Rome was cancelled at the last minute because they went on strike and we had to take a private car to get there.

Which port shuttle? * There are 2 types: the free shuttle and the 3Euro shuttle. We highly recommend taking the 3Euro shuttle because it takes you directly from the ship to the train station.

You have to take the Free port shuttle from the pier to the port entrance, then pay and hop on the 3 Euro shuttle to the train station. At least that's how it was last time there.

That's good to know, especially since we normally rent a car from Hertz and would have to take two shuttles. Now we can just take one directly to the Station. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnkut Posted June 11, 2022 #15 Share Posted June 11, 2022 We are going on the OOS from Rome. Doing a pre cruise trip into Rome, and going home to the US right after the cruise. Can we make a 11:00 departure from FCO? I know it's about an hour drive by private transfer. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
