Disembarkation Civitavecchia to Rome Question

[ILUVHOCKEY]

When leaving ship from Civitavecchia. Is there a shuttle from the ship to train station.  And how easy it is it travelling with 2 carryon spinners?   Any directions, advise and tips?

 

TIA

Yes, there is a shuttle from ship to train - we took it last month. It was crowded (wouldn't count on a seat) but quite a short ride.  We paid with a credit card (tap) when boarding.  We had a carry-on roller each and a backpack and it was not an issue as long as you can lift on/off the shuttle.  Line was right outside the port building and easy to identify.  Train station is very small with limited seating/limited food/drink.  If going just to Rome, buy your tickets on the first available train when you get to the station using one of the machines - we were going on to Florence and bought tickets ahead of time to take advantage of much less expensive pricing.  It would have been a lot easier to just buy tickets on the first train to Rome when we got to the station and guessed at the time to buy a ticket ahead of time from Rome to Florence - we ended up waiting for quite a while at the station in Civitavecchia and would have been more comfortable at Roma Termini.
