Queen Bear Posted March 29, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2010 My husband and I are considering the June 4th cruise out of Rome. There is a flight at 12:20 PM out of FCO. Frequent flyer tickets were available the same day as disembarkation. Since we will be using FF tickets, we are wondering if it is risky to try to get out on the same day as disembarkation. Thanks.

Rare fb0075 Posted March 29, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2010 NO PROBLEM!!!!!!!! I have a 10:30 am --and will make it in PLENTY of time-- Most ships dock in ROME at 4am-- Of course, there will be some that will try to scare you--just because they are not comfortable , most people do leave on deparkation day!

Coolcruise02 Posted March 29, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 29, 2010 We have made the 11:15 am flight twice with no problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fblack Posted March 29, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2010 We made a Delta 10:50AM with no problem. We did hire a private driver though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labeachcomber Posted March 29, 2010 #5 Share Posted March 29, 2010 We have an 11 am flight as well, so we're hoping to make it out with no problems. I've been reading a lot of people mentioning using private drivers so they were assured of making it to the airport. Rome Cabs seems to have been used a lot. Does anyone remember approximately how many Euros/Dollars it costs for two people to get to the airport? And how that compares to the Celebrity transfer?

Queen Bear Posted March 29, 2010 Author #6 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Thanks for all the replies. Our last cruise on the Journey we opted to stay an extra day in Copenhagen. We saw that on the June 4th cruise, the ship docked at 4 AM. We were wondering how fast it cleared customs. We are still undecided about the June 4th cruise. Our last two cruises have been on Azamara. I have recently read some not so good reviews of the Equinox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTLcruisers Posted March 30, 2010 #7 Share Posted March 30, 2010 We made it for a 9:50 AM flight - walked off with our luggage and used RomeCabs who made sure we made the flight in the pouring rain! We were nervous but they were confident that we'd be there in plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phxazzcruisers Posted March 30, 2010 #8 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Your flight time will not be a problem at all. I am not so sure where you saw bad reviews of Equinox. It is an incredible ship and our Cruise was excellent, from room, to service, to food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should work, They advise you not to have a flight out prior to 11am. Drive from dock to airport is 1 1/2 hour drive or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtM Posted March 30, 2010 #10 Share Posted March 30, 2010 On our last Transatlantic cruise, we used Celebrity cruise air and we were given a 10:30 AM departure from FCO. In other words, a flight as early as that met whatever criteria has for getting from disembarkation to checking in at the airport. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
