We are booked on Explora2 in August 2025, sailing from Civitavecchia.
We will be arriving at the port at about 11.30 am, so we are expecting a long wait before we can check in. We don’t mind this as we are happy to sit and read for a couple of hours or so if need be.
We have never embarked at Civitavecchia at the start of a cruise.
Can anyone who has embarked on Explora at Civitavecchia tell me if there are any adequate waiting facilities (seats, toilets, drinks) available prior to check in. I am guessing that Americo Vespucci terminal has, but am thinking that small ships such as the Exploras would embark from either Bramante or one of the tents; indeed Explora2 appears to be embarking tomorrow at Pier10 which has a tent terminal. Feedback from anyone embarking tomorrow would be particularly appreciated.
TIA.
