KikiKruiser Posted June 6, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Windstar says they will transfer you as soon as you debark from ship. Does anyone have any experience with this transfer that the wait is not long? Trying to decide between that and private transfers (which I know will be less expensive) as I know FCO can be crazy hectic.:) TIA for any info!

sb44 Posted June 6, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 6, 2016 They have you fill in a transfer slip so they know your flight time etc. The transfers are fast, reliable and efficient. If you're on any type of a tight schedule I'd be more concerned about the above than maybe saving a few dollars at the end of a cruise and possibly missing a flight.

Sunprince Posted June 7, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Please compare the cost of the Windstar transfer to private. I used Rome Cabs last summer for my Seabourn cruise from port to Rome. They were excellent and picked you up directly at the ship as they have port access. You can do a quote online by accessing their website, they also do transfers from port to FCO.

We used them several years ago for the same transfer (port to FCO) and agree they were excellent. Their website says 130 Euros (approx $147 USD) total for 2 people. Windstar would be $115 USD per person. :) Edited June 8, 2016 by KikiKruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milepig Posted June 8, 2016 #5 Share Posted June 8, 2016 We're going into the city, and booked a shared van with Civitavecchia Cab Service. EU69 for the two of us. I booked for about an hour after we dock and they said they adjust the time as needed if we're late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2LoveToTravel Posted June 12, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 12, 2016 We have used Rome Cabs many times for transfers to and from port to airport in Rome. They are reliable and on time. You can book on line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stcruise Posted June 12, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Another successful Rome Cabs user here! Booked online, they were waiting for us, pleasant drive to the airport with a cheerful driver. Would highly recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare texasstar Posted June 13, 2016 #9 Share Posted June 13, 2016 What would be the earliest flight that you would be able to make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoboys Posted June 13, 2016 #10 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Thanks for the tip on Rome Cabs. I also found a few others so we are looking into a shared or private options. Just wondering if anyone has used a local car or shuttle service in Civitavecchia? Does the drive take an hour? What time does Windstar have you get off the ship? Our flight is at 2:45Pm so I assume we need to be at the airport by 12:30. So we would not need to be the fist off the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted June 17, 2016 #11 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I used Rome Cabs in October for 3 transfers...fco to Rome, Rome to ship, and ship to FCO. All 3 drivers were excellent...arrived early and were good drivers. Ride from ship to sirport is 45 min. Another good transfer or tour co. Is RomeInLimo. I have used them many times.

Sunprince Posted June 18, 2016 #12 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Just make your life easy and book a private transfer using Rome Cabs. You get a private Mercedes transfer with a professional driver from the ship for a price less than he cruise line transfer. I do not understand why anyone would want to end their trip any other way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
