Love your take on the port name - ChiviCherryCola, ChiviJerryLewis, ChiviChiliCheeseFries, ChiviChewbacca, etc, etc,etc. Made me SMILE each time - Thanks!

I'm a big pre-planner when it comes to trips. Just about everything in this vid I had already done on my own before it popped up in my feed (Trenitalia app, pre-bought tickets, mapped the walk to the train station, etc). However, the tip on getting off the train at St. Pietro instead of at Termini was gold. I paid no attention to the actual stops while planning and just went with the recommended route to Termini to get in to town, AND WE ARE GOING TO THE VATICAN, lol. We were already a bit crunched for time and I was struggling to find a pocket for us to eat lunch. Now instead of getting off at Termini 20 minutes later and taking the A train to the Vatican, we'll have almost an hour to eat after getting off at St. Pietro. Less than a single minute of a half-hour video will save me an hour. Thank you so much.

Detailed and clear expression🙏 Thx for ur devotion😘 I tried the app mentioned by comments section, amazingly it is 💥super save🤩

Using the Trenitalia app is a huge benefit - I also used it during our cruise in May. There are actually nonstop trains from Civitavecchia to Rome Termini ("Frecciabianca" Express train). If you can book some days ahead the price is also very reasonable, I payed for one way in First Class incl. seat reservation 9,90 EUR, so around 20EUR return. Just consider that this train doesn't stop at San Pietro which would be the better station if you want to visit Vatican. For all other city areas Rome Termine is good.

Yessss! Tourists can also buy it for saving🥺 and I also know a cheaper channel😎

We took a cruise from Rome around the Mediterranean, arriving in Rome a couple days early to do all the touristy stuff. We considered all our options to get to the port (there were 7 of us in two families), and in the end decided to hire a van to take us to the port. It fit all of us and our luggage and was very reasonably priced.

Oh my, i am loving your variations of Civitavecchia. I hope one day to do a cruise in Europe.

Thank you for your video. 2022 and 2023 I was on a Europe cruise out of Rome. The train is the cheapest way to get to Rome. Taxi was 10 euro each way to and from the port. I recommend the taxi or bus because you will walk alot. From the ship to Rome by train it will take around 2 hours. That's included taxi, waiting for the next train, buying ticket and getting information of where you want to go see in Rome. Please plan at least 2 hours to get back to the ship or you will be a pier runner. This video bring back alot of great memories, thank you again.

You have the best names for that port I’ve ever heard. You made my day. Thank you.

Thanks. After watching your video I feel absolutely exhausted, nursing a headache, checking the odd pain in my feet, and turning the AC to Maximum. I no longer regret staying on board during my last stop in Civitavecchia. Fortunately I saw Rome years ago on a leisurely land tour and could skip it again if going by sea.

Termini Station is a nightmare - and a prime pickpocket spot. also, as you noted, the Civitacvecchia line's platform is so far from the main terminal. For those reasons, we always get off/on at either the S.Pietro or Trastevere stations which are closer to the places most people would want to see. Also, we have always been able to take FREE shuttles buses from the CV port entrance directly to our ships (and vice-versa); so you only have to walk between the train station and the port entrance (near the Tourist Info stall).

Great video, Morgan! Like you, I took the train from Civitavecchia to Termini in the spring. There was so much luggage piled by the doors that it impacted people getting on and off the train. Memorable trip! Keep up the good work!

Great video, Morgan! Very informative and, as always, entertaining!

This is the video I’ve been searching for to have all my questions answered regarding the train system and tickets from Civitavecchia to Rome!! Thank you! Liked and Subscribed!! 👍🏼 and thanks to all who commented with their ideas as well!❤

So agree with the shoes. I wore sturdy running shoes and was thankful. I was always looking down. Love your Civi versions LOL

As a travel nanny who has gone on cruises with clients and after watching I know I would never do it on my dime! Great information for those who want to cruise. I always use a train app for countries I visit. Railninja was great for Portugal and Spain. Will check out your other videos.

Hilarious Morgan! How did you keep a straight face with those city names? They just kept getting better!

Extremely informative, Morgan, and really enjoyed all the playful permutations you came up with to refer to Civitavechia!

I really enjoyed the info and wit. Thanks for a great video!

If you are going one way from termini, buy your ticket to Civitivecchia Porto, and it will include the bus.

Just be aware, if you are on an Oasis class RCL ship, the dock is a lot further away. There is a free shuttle to a central square in Civit but the walk to the train station is much further, about 35-40 minutes.

@bonniedennis7961

Yes. That central square was hard to find when walking from the train station. A very long walk with luggage. It’s best to take a taxi from the train station to the ship (if you can do this) or to the central square for the free bus to your ship. The port area is huge.

The one time we sailed from “Rome” we took one of the Rome to Civvi independent transport services. (arranged by our travel agent so I don’t know which one). The driver got stopped by the police, we assumed for speeding. We weren’t allowed off the minibus and spent half an hour in a lay-by staring at a picnic table and trash can while the driver and police resolved whatever the problem was. I think the next time I’d go with the cruise’s transfer service.

morgan, you always make me smile!! ;). the variations on the cruise port had me laughing out loud. thanks for the chuckle.... :)

This was a hilarious video, Morgan. I love your humour! 😍

Heehee. Loved all of your new names for the port! Especially Chevy chase!

Have taken the train to S. Pietro and back 3 times on different cruises with no issues. European trains (UK apart,) are normally very good and on time. Last year we took a train from Livorno into Florence and back, again with no issues.

Thank you so much for taking your time to provide us with plenty of solutions for our future trip. Best from Puerto Rico!

Having been and out of Civi and Rome three times we have taken three different means of travel. The best is to be ready to take the green bus, that wanders around the port and winds up at the "downtown" bus station. This trip is free. OR if you choose, you may request to be let off at the main gate and walk the beautiful promanade to the train station (about 10 minutes) Note: the 9:00 train is an express to Roma Terminal. Enjoy.

I used to be able to pronounce the name of the city but since listening to you for a few years I no longer can 😂

Funny!!! My wife has your book ready for our next cruise which starts on 9/12. I read vicariously through her. 😊

I love this video! You are so funny Morgan! I love how you pronounce the port name! I had a good laugh! Great information as well!

Thank you for this video! I've literally been looking for information for the past few weeks as we are going on a cruise in a month! We were going to take the direct shuttle to the train station from the ship but I read that it may take some time for it to start as it waits until it's full. If the walk really is about 20 minutes, we would absolutely do that!

We just got back from a Mediterranean cruise, our itinerary had us on 2 day stays in Civitavecchia and Livorno. Also a port this is a distance away from it's advertised city stop. 1) I used the OMIO app for Italian train ticket purchase. 2) I booked the train tickets in advance and early in the day. 3) We were on NCL that supplied a bus to city centre on both those ports. Keep those steps down on needless walking, they are better spent on sight seeing. 4) Comfy shoes, 40k steps the first day and 20k the second because we thought, lets take buses today. The only things that saves me undue stress are that I have mild OCD, and I was a boy scout when I was young. Be Prepared. We did the same thing the following two days into Firenze (Florence) P.S. Buy and learn how to use an esim

Great info! We have been to Rome four times but never by cruise. On the subject of taking a chance on riding the train without a valid ticket, if you are caught you will be fined. Sometimes as much as 50 euro on a ride that would cost 10.

Great info thanks! We leave soon for Rome and will be taking the train from Rome to the port. I did get the TrenItalia app, and they have a train/bus combo ticket you can buy. Not sure if you were aware of that. Family of four with luggage is only 37 euros from Roma Termini to Civitavecchia, train & bus.

It was our first trip from Civi to Rome . Getting off the ship , we took a short walk to where buses that go around the port to the train station (cant remember how much we paid for the bus ride) . 3:15 . At the train station we bought a ticket to Rome . It was an hour ride to St Pietro . After a couple of hours at the vatican ,we took a metro to the Colloseum . After a few hours of exploring central Rome we headed back to the ship . A day well spent off ship .

@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides Yes, it was an easy trip. I bought my ticket at the ticket office since the line was short and their system wasn’t processing cards, so I’m glad I always carry some local currency. Changed trains at Trastevere, met a nice family from Quebec.

Caught the train to Rome back in August and was able to book the tickets through our UK Trainline app. Very easy trip but we had a shuttle to the edge of the port which meant we walked through a shopping street to get to the station. Walked back, it was a long way in the heat. Our ship was docked a mile down the dock from the security gate!

Yes, train is convenient in trip☺️ Hope the rail tickets bought in a cheap price can use🥺

We were docked in Civi-etc on our cruise in 2009. I don’t remember a long walk to the train station, but I was younger then. We did get off the train at the stop by the Vatican because we wanted to go there first. Walking the city was interesting on the cobblestone streets but we did the same things you did; get pizza, gelato and an espresso so we could use the coffee shop bathroom. We just sidled up to the coffee bar and ordered our espresso’s, tossed it down just like the other Italians at the bar then went to do our business. The walk to the train at the station was lo-o-ng. At least 15 minutes but the train was so nice. I think we got in the first class car by mistake but no one questioned us. We’ll be there on our cruise on the Sun Princess in April ( never go in the summer) but we may just pass on going into the city and stay in Civi. I really enjoy your videos and your sense of humor!

In 2016 my wife and I started our Princess cruise in Civichevychase and took the train. We had to go to an off site terminal to check in and then bussed us to the terminal.

I did this a few months ago on my Toscana cruise with Costa - I was amazed that there were so many organisations selling the train tickets (at a marked up price) directly outside the train station. I did think that Rome was a bit awkward to get to from the port - it's SO cumbersome to get from the ship to the town, then to the station, then into Rome. My advice - just go visit Rome another time, and spend your day enjoying the ship while I've so quiet!

When I went on my cruise of the Mediterranean, one of the stops was in Naples,. Since the ship wasn't leaving until later that day, I found I had twelve hours to myself, so I took a cab to the train station, and took the supersonic train to Rome, and did a walking tour from Termini to St Peter's square, then took a cab back to Termini, and another hour long supersonci trip back. If I had taken the regular train, it would have taken 3 hours, one-way each. I'm glad I did it. Like you, I bought my tickets, beforehand. In fact, I bought them online before I even left for the cruise. It was very convenient.
