Transportation

Your third question is unclear. Are you asking how long it will take to disembark and get to the train station at Civitavecchia (Rome's port)? Or are you asking how long will it take to disembark and get to the train station (Termini) in Rome?

Good point. We will leave Rome via Termini. Thanks much, Norma.

Your ship will dock at 7:00am but you won't get off and find your luggage in the baggage shed until after 9:00 very likely. Then if you plan on taking the train to Rome, allow about 2 hours to get to Rome, including the time you'll need to get to the station in Civita. and buy your tickets, etc.

Good info. Since we are purchasing our tickets in advance; will eliminating the waiting in line for tickets provide enough extra time to make the 11:15 train?

Most of the trains that go between Civitavecchia and Rome are Regionale trains. There is open seating and no reservations are possible. There is a FRECCIABIANCA train that departs at 11:07 and arrives at Roma Termini at 11:50. Book that train well in advance at trenitalia.com to get a MINI fare of €9.00. Your seats will be reserved and your tickets will only be good on that train. A big advantage to doing this is that you won't have to stand in line with everyone else who has just gotten off the ship and is buying tickets at the station.
