Lees Cruisin Posted August 2, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2018 We are on the Azura and we dock in Civitavecchia on Sunday 19th of August. I have booked the Rome on your own excursion by bus which leaves at 8.30 a.m. The bus drops us of near the Colosseum for which i have booked a skip the line guided tour at 11 a.m There is 10 of my family doing this tour and they left me in charge of booking it. Im a little bit worried about timings now. Is Sunday mornings busier than usual around Rome? Has anyone done this excursion and if so how long a journey is it?

sandancer Posted August 2, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Have never done this with P&O but with another cruise line and I would think it will be the same operator. This was a week-day and traffic was very heavy and it was around 2 hours journey. I can’t imagine that it would be busier on a Sunday than on a work day with local people heading into the city for work.

simonpjd Posted August 2, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I think it will be worse on a Sunday. The Pope is actually there giving a blessing and Vatican City is more packed than usual. Good luck. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian1 Posted August 3, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 3, 2018 St Peters Sq is on the other side of the river from the Colloseum.That might make the traffic a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lees Cruisin Posted August 3, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted August 3, 2018 On the excursion details it says there is a possible two drop off points depending on local traffic conditions. Im hoping it is by the arch of constantine, so close to the Colloseum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
