Rome (Civitavecchia) Cruise Reviews

You have to book a shore excursion in order to actually get into Rome. Pickpocketing is very much real here. Street sellers are annoying and will grab you. Be careful, use caution. But otherwise gorgeous city but a bit crowded. ...

Stayed in Civitavecchia and strolled along seafront to Fort Michelangelo and unconditional surrender sculpture. There are free buses from cruise terminal but check destination isn't long stay car park rather than town ! ...

Civitavecchia port is industrial, so be prepared for that. We booked a private tour to Rome to avoid having to take a shuttle anywhere. Again, lots of stuff besides Rome to see around the port, so I'd love to stop here again. ...

You need to get the train from Civitavecchia to Rome, but it's well worthwhile as there's such a lot to see. The port town of Civitavecchia is pleasant enough and nice to explore. ...

There's nothing in Civitavecchia. You need to book an excursion or private driver to take you 1-2 hours 1 way to Rome. Rome is too huge to experience it all in 1 day. There's a lot to do, not just ruins and the Vatican. ...

Rome was a disappointment. Dirty and so crowded. Graffiti everywhere. My least favorite port and the port was so far from Rome! Princess staff were not helpful in helping us get to Rome from the port. ...

We spent 3 days in Rome after the cruise ended, and walked everywhere (except for the occasional cab ride at the end of the day.) We had purchased tickets for the Vatican and the Colosseum before we left the US. I had read about the terrible traffic so we opted to walk rather than take a Hop on Hop off bus. Rome is a very walkable city, so if you take breaks and stay hydrated, it’s a great place ...

So we extended and did two nights in Rome. Over two days I walked over 55km. The City is probably one of the most amazing that I've ever visited and we only scratched the surface in terms of what we saw. Can't wait to come back here. ...

We spent 3 days pre cruise in Rome. We used the train service to get to Civitavecchia to board our cruise. I booked tickets in advance, they were cheap and the train was only 50 minutes. We then got a shuttle from the station to the port. We stayed in a hotel near the termini train station which was walking distance. We walked everywhere over the 3 days, pantheon, Vatican, Trevi fountain, Spanish ...

We took a train (over 1 hour) to Rome. It was even more crowded we took another walking tour (not Princess) and were able to visit several sites and even some on the inside and learn about the fascinating history of the Roman families who built this city. The Trevi fountain was so jam packed we couldn't even get close to it, I can't imagine how busy the Colosseum and other major sites would have ...
