rockjock75 Posted October 4, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Our cruise ends on May 9. 2020, and according to Oceania, our cruise disembarkation in Civitavecchia is at 8 am,. We are staying in a Oceania post cruise hotel in Rome (near Villa Borghese) and using an Oceania transfer. I am trying to plan activities for the afternoon. What time should I expect to be at my hotel? If disembarkation starts at 8 am, when would people with transfers to post hotels start disembarkation? Thanks in advance for your help.

Rare bbtondo Posted October 5, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I had asked the same question as you. The advice I got was we would get to our post hotel around 11AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitraveler Posted October 5, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Don’t do it. You can arrange a private transfer for far less and go directly to your hotel. I love Oceania, but their transfers are greatly overpriced. You might even find another couple or 2 on your roll call. You can find a company to do the move on Trip Advisor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misssmb Posted October 5, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Transfers are free if you use Oceania’s hotels. We actually did the opposite with Rome first last year. The hotel was top-notch and breakfast was included every day. I’m sorry I cannot help you on the timeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted October 5, 2019 #6 Share Posted October 5, 2019 True, the transfer is free if using their hotel package BUT you're paying twice as much for the hotel as you would if you booked it on your own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted October 5, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Cancel the Oceania hotel and transfer immediately unless you like throwing money out the window. Have your TA book the same hotel for a lot less and use Rome Cabs for your private transfer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted October 6, 2019 #8 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Yep, the transfer is about as free as the air and the Olife. LOL Sometimes the air and Olife can be a good deal, I don't think the hotel and transfer really ever are, perhaps only in an extreme situation where it's next to impossible to book your own transfer. On the other hand if someone is willing to pay for the convenience of having everything taken care of for them I guess that's their business. As long as they know the options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
