We Took A Cruise To Rome. Well Not Exactly...A Race Against the Clock

[@Cruisewith]

Just for information - we are fully aware that this is the only port for Rome. We just want people to be aware at how far away it is. Cruise lines make no effort to inform people that ports can be absolutely miles away - and you will need to travel for hours and pay extra money. They don’t provide any form of complimentary transportation to the port that was advertised. We made the video to highlight this and how you can save an absolute fortune! Also the tour we replicated cost £171 or $208 per person and did not include admission to anything. It was purely a guided coach ride from the ship to Rome then a walking tour with a free portion of gelato.

[@drraktim1]

David and Ben, you guys are absolutely correct. We have experienced this multiple times, especially with the Norwegian cruise line.

[@life.with.sabine]

I love it when the cruise ships call in Rotterdam only for the tourists to go to Amsterdam.

They normally have the port city in parentheses, if I'm not sure I use google maps and verify distances.

5 hours seems like a ridiculously short time in a port. Especially when the city is so far away from the port.

[@FlaGirl2004]

A lot of the Haven looks much like most of Viking Ocean facilities, regular fare. But the very best Viking feature : no children under the age of 18!

[@hume6900]

Our cruise originated and finished in Rome/Civ. We were so glad that we also made sure to book a few days in Rome at the end. There are a number of reasons we always book the excursions through the cruise line. Yes, I know that they are more expensive than booking on your own, but, for us it is worth it. First, we pay in Canadian funds as opposed to the American and the exchange rate fluctuates lately anywhere from 20-30%, second it is already paid for, the knowledge that the ship will wait for us if we are delayed through no fault of our own, third we are usually in ports/places we haven’t been before and tend to get lost, also the guides are so knowledgeable. For us doing it the way we do is like another insurance.

[@EG-nx3sl]

I’ve been an independent traveler all my life who is comfortable in foreign places, I’ve never taken tours, but since I started cruising I realize lots of fellow passengers don’t feel the same, for them excursions are worth it. Also many passengers are elderly and cannot walk 20,000+ steps.

I was even stressed the minute you stepped off the ship. I was so afraid it might fall apart and you'd miss the ship. But, it went so smoothly and you saw so much. 🎉 Kathleen

[@alisona8318]

Rome is like that, 40 minutes away from the port is nerve wracking! Even though it's more expensive I did the ship tour (Royal Caribbean) and would pay it again (though I don't usually get the excursions for most ports). Rome is a magical city. Lots of cities have history, but Rome IS its history.

[@paulgerrard9227]

When you have 8-9hrs in port you should ignore the fear the cruiselines use to discourage private travel over their short expensive options. Most cities have decent transport options

[@randa200771]

They do that for places like London but dock in Dover or Southampton, or better still a city without a dock, Paris, a good 4 hours from the port of Le Harvre . If you don't know your geography you can be in for a BIG surprise.

[@lottylouart]

I really loved this episode guys! Loved the honesty and the race into Rome was fun. Just goes to show with a bit of planning you can get a more affordable experience. So sorry the Haven wasn’t all you expected, I know this was a special trip, so I hope the itinerary and Rome made up for it.

[@thejoelster]

This is a great idea! Planned our own shore excursions and saved a lot of money this summer while cruising with NCL, definitely recommend this over shore excursions. One tip is to plan your train/transport so that if you miss your train or it gets cancelled, there's at least 1 or more trains that makes it back before all aboard time!

[@Cruisewith]

Yes, great tip!

[@Clutching.My.Pearls]

@@paulgerrard9227 I agree, and many make the mistake that St Peter's Basilica is the Vatican, it is in Vatican City, the Vatican Museum is behind the Basilica. If you want to see Rome, you probably need a week there. I go every year ( except the Covid years) and always see and learn something new.

We did a similar thing David, during a 5 hrs on your own, however instead of the sites (we were going to stay there for a few days after the cruise) we did a foodie tour. Pizza, Porchette Sandwich, pastries, you name it...we had a blast. We took the excursion from Celebrity which was a bus into Rome, 5 hrs on our own (dropped us off at Vatican) and then bus back home. Worked out perfect as far as timing.

[@stellawiltshire8007]

What a wonderful idea...showing what a DIY tour entails...I have done Rome once on a cruise precovid...it was July and extremely hot...I have to say, it was wonderful having the bus drop you off at the site and pick you up with the AC running...I opted to do ancient Rome and the Catacombs...the drive to Rome was beautiful, fields and fields of sunflowers...In Rome, I was struck by how tightly packed everything was..the massive coliseum totally surrounded by buildings, the Forum wedged inbetween pre and post WWII structures and the graffiti...I love history and historical structures and I found the graffiti very disturbing...then we moved away from the central area out to the catacombs, space and fresh air wonderful and extremely interesting...I vaguely remember a lunch of baked chicken and then the ride back to the ship...exhausted from the heat...note to self, visit Rome in the Fall next time...another port we visited that required a long bus ride was Livorno, for Florence and for that matter Marseille for Aux en Provence...loved your video...😊

Hi love Rome, on a recent trip to Norway with MSC we went to Olden took an early tender off the ship walked up the pier where we paid for a tour to the Sky lift. We boarded a bus to the lift went to the lift up the mountain and then after a quick look round walked the 3ks to the top, it just was so beautiful , we then made our way slowly down examining all the bits we had missed before descending and catching the bus back to the ship. We had far longer than the ship excursion on top at half the price also no hassle at all. In the afternoon after a picnic lunch we walked to a local waterfall did more than the ship walk again saving £40 It was a lovely day out. Yes I do book ship excursions especially for long distances our next one is to the valley of the kings in Egypt. We did a trip to Rome with MSC a few years ago, it was Rome on your own where we were dropped of by bus did our own thing then got the bus back it cost forty odd pound each, not cheap but ok.

[@anngratton1855]

Just back from a Celebrity cruise with a Rome stop. We knew it was far away with tons we wanted to see and experience. We splurged on a private driver and tour guide. Never stood in line, got into everything we wanted to see and had an amazing sit down pasta meal. Worth every penny❤! As Canadians we are used to everything being a bit of a drive so 45 min into Rome was not a biggie but researching every port of call is a must for planning. Love your videos and still giggling over the Tom Cruise comments😂❤

I just love watching you guys, honest, and really informative. You also make me chuckle with your antics, fun and puns. We have been caught on cruises were the ports were away from the real destination. It’s really annoying, funnily enough we were on the Norwegian jewel when this happened. They kept changing port times on us as well. When we arrived at Picton in New Zealand the changed time saw us off the ship at 9:30 and had to be back on at 2 o’clock which didn’t leave a whole lot of time travelling out to the wine region (it turned into the amazing race around wineries!! ) I will definitely be checking time allocated at ports in future and how long it takes to get to the sights! Can’t wait to visit Rome one day 😁😁

[@HF-tj8db]

It’s great that you’re talking about this. They often label Le Havre as Paris and Southampton as London, when they’re nowhere near each other! I don’t mind visiting Le Havre, but be honest!

[@Cruisewith]

Yep. Lots to do near Le Harve.

[@paulgerrard9227]

And sometimes the port and the city are both nowhere near the cruise excursion destination eg LaHavre and a wine district. My other issue with excusions is many are described as a day trip and its 4.5hrs or haldf day is barelt two hours. Often at high cost. Ripoff for time and valuebreally

[@Beachdudeca]

It’s important to understand where ports are located in relationship to the destination cities

[@raisafrancisco7323]

This video was very informative. It is true that you can save money by doing then tours on your own or with a private company. Lately I have done the excursions with the cruise line to avoid being left behind in case something happens and I cannot get to the ship in time. Rome is beautiful, but a very exhausting city if you want to see everything. Last year my Rome excursion was 9 hours! At the end I felt completely worn out. It was very hot and we walked a lot. We got to visit 11 important places with a fantastic tour guide. Planning on doing some tours on my own in my next cruise to Europe.

[@tiffinyanderson4403]

I was in Rome in January and we had bought tickets to Naples for a day trip from our hotel in Rome. The night before when I asked the hotel concierge about timing for getting a taxi or Uber to the train station and he let us know there was a countrywide train transport strike. So we didn’t get to Naples and Pompeii. We were traveling in the winter and every wasn’t crowded at all, the weather was cool but gorgeous and prices were lower. We prefer to pick a few things in the city we’re visiting and the rest of the time we just walked around finding some of the most unique and beautiful little streets and amazing buildings, homes and sights. And it’s such a relaxing and laid back way to see new places. And Ben is right, Italy had a ton of scammers. Watch some KZbin video about the scamming. Another great video guys. 🥰

[@ilenegallo6406]

The closest port to Rome is in Civitavecchia ! Paris is 2.5 hours from the port. Dover is the closest port to London. Not all of these cities are on the coast!🥰🥰

[@Cruisewith]

Yeah we are fully aware of that. Cruise lines should make it much clearer that ports are far away and will require lots of travel and money. It’s not ok to call Le Harve, Paris, Southampton, London or Civitavecchia Rome because they are not. Often cruise lines don’t even label the actual port.

First as usual, great content. Just love you two! If I were younger, I'd most definitely do what you just showed. Being unfamiliar with Europe, train lines and absolutely terrified of missing the ship (ie I think this would take some fun out of the day for me), I'd probably not do this unless it was just for one activity/map stop. Again, though, that's just me. What this really tells me, is that there are some places and this may be one of them, whereby a cruise may not be the best fit - that we should go for a few days to see it all. Thanks for sharing with us!

Fantastic video. In 2022, we took an NCL cruise in the Med. The cruise was Barcelona back to Barcelona, including Rome, but we actually began in Rome and went back to Rome. We stayed 3 nights in Rome before the cruise and did all the walking you did and more. It was absolutely fantastic. We did not run into the aggressive street vendors or pickpockets you mention, but Rome is known for them. The only disappointment I have is that you skipped gelato. :) Keep up the good work.

$200 just to sit on a bus and occasionally take a selfie? Unbelievable. Rome is pretty easy to get around. Your warning about pick pockets is absolutely correct. We were on the subway ( our friends that are Italian were with is and had warned us to be extra careful) my father had his hand in his pocket covering his wallet, and just as the doors were about to close this lottle kid, maybe 10, shoved his had in my dad's pocket and tried to grab it my dad held on tight while our italian friend grabbed the kid and sent him on his way ( shoved him off the subway) apparently they have little kids grab the wallet, then they immediately had it off to aomeone else and then again and again. In about 90 seconds or less your wallet is gone forever passing through about 5-6 ppl
