I've been there a couple of times and always had a driver either to or from the port, but never on a b2b where we stay onboard, I know it's quite a ways from Rome.
Do you happen to have the contact of your tour operator handy? We will be a group of 7 with or without all wanting to go.
Thanks to you both for your answers. I was wondering if Symphony may have offered an excursion type (for a price) into the city center with or without a tour for those of staying on board. I also hoped those who had been on the same b2b yesterday (Sept 26) could answer my question. Our trip isn't until next May.
We will be on Symphony for b2b ending and beginning at Civitavecchia and wondered if Crystal provides a shuttle into Rome for those of us staying on board.
You might find your answer here at this link. Mouse over your cabin number and it will tell you if the view is obstructed, slightly, limited, or no obstruction.

I found it on the Crystal web site, prices, and all. See if this will take you there.

And another thing to keep in mind, the Cannes Film Festival usually ends right before the Grand Prix. I remember being there at that time some years ago and both were being set up at the time. There were fences all around both areas. Flights and hotels will be tight!
Crickette, I'm not interested in the F1 races either, but as an exercise in sleuthing, I found the race was May 29 in 2022 Monaco and in 2023, it was May 26-28. So with that, I am assuming they will be there the last weekend of May. Ta Da!
Finally some chatter . . . . This is my favorite Crystal but I have to wait until my Apr/May 2024 cruises to see her again. I am living each day on board in my mind since I booked last March.
Sept 1 is the date and I'm not seeing any posts about it. I understand Aug 26 is the "Trial-run with TAs, promoters, officials and the like. Hope to hear from you soon.
I've studied this photo several times and can't figure out what those little brown rolls might be. They look like a version of those cappuccino sticks filled with a cream. Just very strange to me.
We've booked 4 cabins on 3 cruises B2B in 2024 - Athens to Rome, Rome to Lisbon and Lisbon to Barcelona - beginning April 25 and basically all of May. I want to go NOW!
If you look at the Deck 9 plan on Symphony you will see notches where the doors would be. Notice they are at the side so these are not Classic where the doors are in the center of the cabin.
Deck 10 doesn't have those. My "somewhat certain" answer.
