We just got back last week and flew TAP Air Portugal. We still had to wear masks on the flight to Italy as well as the flight back. But we didn't use KN95 masks on the return flight. We just used our regular masks.

We just got back from Italy last week. It is posted that you must wear a KN95/FFP2 mask, however, very few people wore them. Some wore no masks at all, others had just a regular mask. Personally, I would take a couple of KN95 masks, but also take masks that are more comfortable to wear. Other than the flight over, we did not use our KN95 masks...and on the flight back, we wore just our regular masks as did most people.

I don't anything about that particular company, but we used Italy tours and they were great.

We just got back from our cruise last week and stayed at the Airport Hilton when we flew in. It's a very nice hotel and breakfast is delicious. We used Shared Shuttle to get from the hotel to port and they were wonderful. It was very reasonable and we wound up using them a couple more times throughout our trip. (Eating train and bus tickets we'd already purchased because they made getting around so much easier.) You can find them here: https://sharedshuttle.it/

Check out Italy Tours. We used them in Naples and it was a phenomenal tour. They guarantee to get you back to the ship on time. Their prices are right and their guides are fun and informative. You can find them here: https://www.italytours.eu/shore-excursions/

I haven't used them, but I highly recommend, Shared Shuttle. We just got back from our cruise last week and due to a missed connection, we had to book them at the last minute. They were reliable and very reasonably priced, and worth the door to door service they provided. You can find them here: https://sharedshuttle.it/

We just got back from our cruise and had originally purchased bus and train tickets to get us from Rome to the port. Unfortunately, we missed our connection in Lisbon and spent over 14 hours there which forced us to book the Airport Hilton, cancel our previous reservations and come up with alternative transportation. Since it was last minute, I thought for sure it was going to be a nightmare. I found Shared Shuttle online and reached out, thinking there was no way they'd be able to accommodate me on such short notice, but they did! It was very reasonable, and super easy. In fact, we were so happy with it, we ate the cost of previously purchased bus and train tickets and booked them to get us from the port to Rome on debarkation day. It was totally worth it and we will be using them every time we go back to Italy! You can find them here: https://sharedshuttle.it/

We just got back from our cruise and used Italy tours when we docked in Naples, and they were wonderful! We did the Amalfi Coast/Pompeii tour and it was one of the best tours we did. They met us right outside the gate for our ship, and took great care of us. Our tour guide, Gabriella, was so sweet and taught us a lot about the places we toured. She also made sure that we got back in plenty of time to board the ship. In fact, during the tour, she said it was of utmost importance — which we appreciated. At the end of our tour she walked with us to the terminal to make sure we knew where to go. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again in the future.

I didn't even realize this was a thing. Good to know for the future. I turned in my receipts and will hopefully get some money back from my travel insurance. I want to thank you as well as @euro cruiser @marazul and @CruiserBruce! You all saved the day for us! The Hilton was great. In fact, when we got there, they upgraded us to a suite and we had a delicious breakfast in the morning. And the tip to get a private transfer was huge! It worked out so well that we decided to use private transfers for the rest of the trip. We were trying to save a little money, but realized it was totally worth having someone get us and our luggage where we needed to go. Thank you, thank you everyone!

Hey there. We’re going to do a Royal Caribbean excursion. Do we tip the driver and/or tour guide for this? Thanks for your help.

There were definitely life savers!! We had a great night sleep at the airport Hilton and a very nice, private ride to the port. Thank you all again!

Thank you! We decided to go work a private transfer, and got it set up.

Thanks @euro cruiser. You have helped us out so much with this trip. I had purchased train tickets from Rome to the port, but more I’m looking at the bus from the airport. I’m having trouble finding the time the bus leaves for port. I’m Site it’s because I’m so tired, but I just can’t seem to find it.

Thank you @CruiserBruce! We need easy right now.

We’re flying to Rome, but we’re stuck in Lisbon. We missed our connection by a long shot and now can’t get into Rome until after midnight. I’m going to cancel our hotel in Rome since we’ll be up early to get to port my 12 and will only be there for a short period of time. Questions… Where should we stay? It looks like most of the shuttles won’t be rubbing that late, so will there still be plenty of taxis at that time? How should we get from the airport area to port? Thank you, in advance for your help. We’re exhausted and frustrated and really can’t think straight at the moment.

Outstanding!! Thank you for this great tip.

Thanks @cruz_happy!

Where did you go for show reservations? Or did you just show up early? Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Perfect! Thank you so much!

Thank you! I appreciate your help.

Great! Thank you!

OMGeee! I totally want to be you when I grow up!! 🤣 So excited to follow along. Enjoy!!!!!

Enjoy!!!

We leave for Rome next week and wondering the same thing. Thank you for all this information. So quick question...do you know if testing before getting back into the US is 1 day before or 24 hours? Our flight leaves at noon the day after we disembark, but don't think we'd be on the ship to test if it's 24 hours. Again, thank you for the help.,

Thank you for allowing us to cruise with you. I appreciate all the information and can't wait to get on this ship in just a little over a week.
