We are wondering the same thing with one more question. Is this or any of the White Pass train rides round trip or do they all return to the ships by bus? Might be worth the money if if is round trip.

Sounds like a good plan. The other thing is that if you already bought your tickets...as we did...taking a chance is a lot cheaper than exchanging the ticket. You might want to get separate flight insurance as...insurance.

:halo:

We were able to get a 9:50 flight. The cruise ship had no problem letting us off early AS LONG AS THE SHIP DOCKED IN TIME! There was a little bit of a delay because they won't let you off the ship until the ship is secured meaning all the people running around the dock and getting the luggage carriers ready are out of the way. As I said, we did make it thanks, in part to Rome Cabs which is the company we used several times. They are very good. The best part of leaving that early is that there isn't much, if any traffic, getting to FCO. Hope this helps.

Does NCL arrange transport to FCO?

Has anyone taken Bus from Rome Port (Civitavecchia) to FCO Rome Airport?

if so, how much $$ and how long did it take?

I see posts about using Rome Cab but $157 seems like a lot from Port to Airport. Or is that normal?

First: I'm sure NCL arranges transport as do most other cruise companies but USUALLY only on the same day as arrival or departure so if you're going early or staying longer, that's not an option. (reminder this a Celebrity group)

The cruise port and the airport are about 40 minute drive from each other...40 minutes at the crack of dawn. Take a look at your flight time and determine if you are likely to hit traffic.

In either case, Rome Cabs is a great company to go with. We used them for our party of 4 and divided the expense. The ease of have our own "private chaffeur" and the comfort of the vehichle made it worth while. We'll do it again next year for our next cruise in and out of Rome.

The problem is we are all booked, we booked it as FF miles and the next flights out are late at night. I'll look into it but I'm not sure what other choice we have.:confused:

Just read most of your messages and am slightly encouraged. We're on Silhouette, disembarking on July 15 in Rome with a 9:30 flight back to the states. From what I am reading, seems we'll be okay with a request to leave the ship by 6:30 a.m. We'll use a private transfer. One of those companies was doubtful the ship would let us off that early so please if anyone has any info, please respond. Thanks.:eek:
