We are arriving at the Rome cruise port and need to get to Rome, store our luggage while attending Mass and then taking the train to Naples. Suggestions for best way to do this.
Thanks

It depends on your time line. The best way is a private driver pick up. Probably 150 to 200 euro. Luggage storage with a private driver could be a problem. You can take the train from the cruise port -- about an hour depending on train -- to Termini. From ship to Rome could take a couple of hours. This is a big luggage storage on the lower level of Termini. From Termini take a taxi to the Vatican and return. And then the train to Naples. What time is mass?

hey hey travelingNana
when is this trip and how many is "we"? so much to think about this adventure.
what's the earliest you can get off ship, what time is mass? read very carefully the rules of luggage storage (costs, hours open & closed, size of lockers for bag size how many bags, how easy to get in, check in bags, get to mass, getting back to train station for ride to naples). i would reserve a cab at cruise port, with so many cruisers getting off and finding transportation like you with all the crowds, pushy/nasty people all in a hurry.
cab to mass and cab back to roma termini to get bags and hop on train. sounds stressful but to me best way. if you decide to do public transportation, do you have it all marked, how long, probably hours, until you get back to train station. this is not the time to be cost conscious if mass is important to you. good luck

Where in Rome are you thinking of attending Mass?
Civitavecchia (the port town) has a really nice Cathedral (missed by 99.9% of cruise passengers, and yes I've been to the Cathedral when in Civi on a cruise)- https://cattedralecivitavecchia.it/orario_ss-messe/
You could go to Mass first there, then afterwards take one of the fast long distance Inter City trains from Civitavecchia to Rome, changing for Naples. They are totally different to the commuter trains which the vast majority of cruise passengers take.
Say you got to a Ferial (non festal day) 0930 Mass at Civi Cathedral there is an 1116 Frec train from Civitavechia. Yes it's more expensive than the commuter train but is a maximum price of 16 Euro from Civi to Rome.
