UKPete71 Posted May 8, 2017 Author #201 Share Posted May 8, 2017 The final Celebrity Today, Monday 8th May And so that was it. We arrived in Civitavecchia in the early hours of the morning. I had arranged a shuttle transfer with two other couple from our roll call. We met by Guest Relations at 8.20am and went straight off the ship. We soon had our bags and were in the shuttle heading for Rome at 8.50am, despite having booked a 9am pick-up. Traffic was heavy by the time we got into Rome, with it taking approximately 1.5 hours to get to the first drop-off point. And so that concludes the cruise. We're in Rome for a couple of days before we head to the UK, but I won't be posting updates on Rome. The cruise has been great, and we've met many people, which I would say has been helped by a very active roll-call. A number of things were arranged there, from activities for the seven sea days as we crossed the Atlantic, right through to private tour excursions and post-cruise transfers. The past three months is the most active I've been on Cruise Critic, and I'm sure that has contributed to a great time being had by both myself and my DW. To those I've met over the past two and half weeks, thank you, and if you see me pop up on a roll-call of a cruise you're booked in please say hi!!

CrassvsCrusie42 Posted May 11, 2017 #207 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Anyone know if it took Americans longer to get through customs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPete71 Posted May 11, 2017 Author #208 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Anyone know if it took Americans longer to get through customs ? Do you mean at Civitavecchia? I walked off with two American couples and there was no customs check. Once we had our bags we walked straight out of the baggage reclaim area and headed for the mini-van waiting for us.

UKPete71 Posted May 12, 2017 Author #212 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I'm already having withdrawals since you've gotten off the ship. Thank you so much for letting us tag along with you on your trip!!! I'm getting withdrawls too having got home from two days in Rome on Wednesday. :cool: The thread allows me to revisit my holiday, so it's a kind of therapy for me too. I do have some videos that I'll look to add over the weekend. Hopefully I've a time lapse of the sailaway from Miami, some choppy water in the Atlantic and a couple from some of the activities that were on board.

Maz_1 Posted May 13, 2017 #214 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Hi, We were on the same cruise & had a fantastic time. We are on about 3 or 4 of your photo's that you posted. One in particular in the theatre which when I showed my DH he said OMG look at my bald patch :-) his not mine. We are already having withdrawal systems to the point where we have booked to sail on Eclipse in September. Marion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKPete71 Posted May 21, 2017 Author #220 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I finally got to download some videos from my iPhone and GoPro this evening. Here is a time lapse of our sail away from Miami. It was my first time using my GoPro, and I think it's come out ok. QVU9dqpIt9k In hindsight I could have positioned myself over the flag pole, however there was no seat there to have kept an eye on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
