csyoho Posted June 20, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Can anyone help with info re getting to the port from Rome? We will be in a hotel the night before the cruise, so is a cab our only option? Thanks, Carolyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAS-KARR Posted June 21, 2008 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2008 First of all ask at the reception desk, they can hook you up with a cab or limo company. Maybe off your roll call you might ask around on there and possibly share a ride of somekind with someone. I'm not one for this but you can look into train and/or bus schedules also. FYI it's about an hour and 15 min. ride (just did it 2 weeks ago). Good luck e CIAO, ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nparmelee Posted June 21, 2008 #3 Share Posted June 21, 2008 There is also the train option, that's the cheapest way but it involves more work. On the Europe board there are lots of threads on this discussion if you want some ideas of the companies that people have used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digby Posted June 21, 2008 #5 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I would email the hotel's concierge and have him make the arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nparmelee Posted June 21, 2008 #6 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Here's the link to the Europe boards on here, http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=234 We've found that you can get a better deal with the different car services by arranging that on your own rather than through the hotel, like paying 50 euros rather than 75 from a hotel arranged transfer from the airport.

spindrift Posted June 22, 2008 #7 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I thought our transfer w/Oceania was just great!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChatKat in Ca. Posted June 22, 2008 #8 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Stay at the hotel and go back to the Airport for the Oceania transfer. The Sheraton Roma will pick you up and return you to the airport to grab the Oceania Transfer. They also have a shuttle service for their guests to the Spanish Steps. That said, if you can find someone on your roll call to share with, it will cost you less. We just did that from Dover to Heathrow and had a Mercedes van for four for less than the Oceania Bus.

Try http://www.limoinrome.com Claudio is terrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand Pine Posted June 22, 2008 #10 Share Posted June 22, 2008 You might be able to arrange a shared ride with others on the roll call. We shared a van with 5 other couples for our trip from Rome to the boat May 19th. Owner, Melaragno Remo, www.driverinrome.com did a great job of gettting all of us and our luggage to the boat. Good luck and enjoy your cruise. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
