Rare trinitygirl Posted January 1, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Hi everyone, I have been trying to work out where, on the App or on the personaliser, I can add cruise transfers, but I simply can't find it. I want to book a transfer from Rome city centre to the port, and then from central London to the port and from the port to Heathrow. I am travelling alone so hiring a car looks very expensive, but I can't find any information on the website about the transfers. For my Caribbean cruise with Celebrity, the transfer to Miami airport shows up in the excursion column, but I can't see it in any of the Princess excursion lists. I read in one column here that it should show up on the Flights tab, but it doesn't. Is this another one of those quirks that those of us booked on the Australian version of the website have a different offering, and I need to call the call centre? thanks in advance Emma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if you booked through a TA, then you would call them to book it for you. At least, that’s what I’ve found on the US bookings. Emma, if you booked the cruise through Princess/CVP, then you would call them, if you don’t see an option to book it under the cruise personalizer. TA, then you won’t see an option, call the TA.

riffatsea Posted January 2, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I'd first message my Rome hotel to see what service they could arrange If the price seems too n high I'd go on the Roll call of your cruise v to see if someone would share with you Ive been in Rome several times on my own and have used hotel car services or Romecabs.com services without ever thinking of the cruise line as my go to transfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare trinitygirl Posted January 2, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Ok, thanks both of you, I will do a comparison before I make any decisions; the hotel is quoting 160 euros plus tip. With luggage, I am not keen on taking the train but it is an option I guess. Seems like I might have to call to get a quote from Princess because its not showing up anywhere in my personaliser.

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted January 2, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I believe you can only get a hotel transfer IF you booked the hotel through Princess. Then it becomes an expensive transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merryjewelhound Posted January 2, 2023 #8 Share Posted January 2, 2023 What we often do is fly in a day early and stay at a hotel airport that has a free bus. Then we have our PVP book a transfer from the airport to ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have booked RomeCabs again: 2 passengers-2 suitcases/2 carryons ship to Rome centre hotel 165 euro Rome centre to airport FCO 65 euro I realize your plans differ, but if you can find another solo/couple to share, you can do well. I could not find transfer through Princess from Rome centre and would have had to go back to FCO for the transfer. When you book Princess hotel package they transfer you from their hotel---they would not let us pay to be included in the transfer only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted January 2, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) There is a central London location (Victoria Coach Station) that one can book transfers to and from the pier on embarkation/disembarkation days only. Not sure about Rome. Contact whoever you booked with and they will set up the transfers. Edited January 2, 2023 by Coral 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite a long way from downtown Tome to the airport I have asked before and been told no multiple times. Though - this fall, I do know someone was added to our bus in London who had not stayed there through the cruise line. Though this was done the morning of and there was space on the bus. I would not plan on this by any means. Previous buses I have had have been full and have not had space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked up the hotel and it doesn't seem that central. I would have thought it would be near Termini. I guess it depends on where your hotel is. Your original arrangements maybe better. Or, reconfirm the hotel info is accurate. Maybe after you book it - it will appear under itinerary the location.

Reasonable price but our main draw is the convenience/location. Rick and Jeannie, could you please tell me more about this. How do you get to your hotel from the airport and from your hotel to the train station? We’re taking a TransAtlantic cruise in the fall and will be hitting London 3 days before the cruise; at this time, Princess is not offering pre-cruise travel packages for more than 1 day.
