maryloumele Posted August 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Our cruise ends in Rome and arrives at dock at 5am. We are going to Dublin and would like to fly out of FCO at 11am. Is this a wise choice or should we rethink and take a later flight that is not a nonstop. I have had two different opinions so far, one from Princess saying sure you will have plenty of time and the other from our travel agent at AAA who said dont do it. Princess said their first transfer is at 6am and if we were on it, we would make it . Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted August 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2022 If you can take a ship transfer at 6 AM you'd be at the airport by 7 (it's 66 km/41 miles, almost entirely on the autostrada). Unfortunately, Ireland is not part of the Schengen zone so you'll need to go through passport control at Fiumicino, meaning you should allow three hours prior to the flight. Arrival at the airport at 7 AM for an 11 AM flight is more than enough time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikwe012 Posted August 9, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 9, 2022 If you book a private ride for 7am which may be the earliest you can disembark you should be fine. A travel agent will probably err on the side of caution . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted August 9, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Although our experience is pre-covid, we have used that flight to Dublin many times. We always take a private transfer (https://www.romecabs.com/), The check in desk/baggage drop did not open until 2 hours before the flight. We also purchased a Fast Track pass (it was only about €7).
