Regatta May 2 Venice-Rome airport transfer

[mvbentley]

Hello,

We are looking for someone to share a cab with us when we disembark in Rome to go to the airport. I have posted this on the Regatta roll call, but there are very few people on there and they are going into Rome, not the airport. Let me know if anyone is interested.

 

Thanks:D

mvbentley, there is only a small percentage of cruisers that even know about these boards so that may be the problem. On small ships this means that there are often just a few people that you can try to join up with ahead of time. You may want to try and drum up some people to share the ride with you on the cruise itself. If you make a reservation now and let them know that you hope to ad atl east one other couple and then email them once on board, you should be OK. As one of those going into Rome from this cruise, I heard back from RomeCabs very quickly about the confirmation with more people.

Hi Parmelee.

Thanks for the reply. I will get a quote from Rome Cabs and decide whether to order or not. We are spending a few days ahead of the cruise in Italy, not on the back end. Maybe we see you on board. By the way, what are you planning to do in Corfu? :)

[nparmelee]

For Corfu we're playing it by ear. We may rent a car and drive around or we may just wander in the old town and have a nice lunch someplace. I'm leaning towards a car rental and going to Achilleon Palace and Paleokstra and then a wander in the old town.

My wife & I are going directly to the airport in Rome, but we signed up for a transfer.

If it is a savings, we would be happy to join you, also interested in discussing the sharing some shore excursions

Welcome to the boards Paulcotton, and to our cruise. We have a roll call thread for this cruise where some of us have been talking about sharing excursions, the url is http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=750793. Hope to see you over on the roll call.

Hi PaulCotton,

The fare for 4 is 120 Euro ($30 per person). Fare goes down as more people are added. I'm not sure if we need to tip since this is a private cab. At any rate I think is would be considerably cheaper than the ship's transfers.

 

We have not booked any shore excursions because we thought we would do most ports on our own. But we have some voids. Corfu we would like to go to Paleokastriska and we were thinking of renting a car. But may be better to share a cab to take us around.

 

In Sicily, we were planning on walking around and going to the amphitheater, but again would be open to suggestions.

 

Our names are Martine and Victor. Let us know is you would like to share the transfer to airport and if you have any ideas on shore excursions.

 

PS you can either respond to this thread or go onto the Roll Call for this trip.

Who are you using for your transfer to the airport from the dock in Rome? We are not on your cruise, but a later one. Wondering who to contact for a private transfer for 6 people. Thanks. CC2

[nparmelee]

We have RomeCabs reserved for a 6 person transfer going to 3 different hotels. With three different dropoffs, 190 euros total. If we were all going to the same place it would be 170 euros.

[mvbentley]

We are using Italycab. They quoted 150euro for six to go to the airport. the email address is italycat@hotmail.it.

Thank you so much mparmalee and mvbentley. I will check out both of them for next October.

Hi We're looking into joining up with someone for the ride directly to Rome airport after the Regatta cruise. We'd like to leave around 7-715am since we have a morning flight. I found a shuttle company that we take us for 125 EURO for the two of us, but we'd do better to share. Thanks.

Hello, we would prefer to share as well. However, 7-7:15 is a bit early. We were planning on leaving at 9AM. I think we need to be off the ship by then anyway. Is 7:15 the latest you can leave?

mvbentley;

 

My apologies for not responding more promptly but i was out of town for a few days and I don't have a laptop. I totally understand your reluctance at such an early departure but given our flight departure we're forced into it. At any rate, thanks for considering us.

Bob,

thanks for your reply. For now we will stick to our plan.
