Take an NCL shore excursion but even then use money belts (day before group had purse snatched right in front of excursion leader who had to tackle theif and got it back). Very interesting sights and history but TOO MANY TOURISTS even off season.

Book online tickets for Colisseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. They are 13 euros and you can skip the lines. Vatican tour in the afternoon was an excellent shows. Again not with the cruise line.

The Coliseum, Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica architecturally were unbelievable!! The only problem is that the whole world wants to see them. There were so many people that we couldn't stop to even take a picture. You had to do it on the run. I doubt there is an off season, but that would be the time to go.

The same problems with ticket purchases happened here as in Pompeii, we knew what to expect, so we did only see one or two sites before returning to the meeting point, luckily we had more time. Our guide here had said our meeting point would be outside the arch, but when she disembarked the bus she said "follow me" and every one did, or tried to, we lost quite a few infirm and elderly along the way and she DID NOT slow down or check on anyone who couldn't keep up. When we go to her destination, she had guided us to a bathroom area and coffee stand, where it appeared she knew the owners. It was my fault not to have listened and found out specifically where she was going before we all took off at a trot, I was sure she had said the meeting point was back where we started, but others felt she was showing us the meeting point so we didn't want to lose track of her before confirming this. Yelling for her to slow down or stop did no good, she was too far away and moving too fast. I will note we passed quite a few restaurants and coffee bars that had bathrooms, so I'm not sure what the rush was to get to this one which was quite a ways a way from where we were let off the bus. After Pompeii, we tried to re-book this excursion to a guided excursion but were told there was nothing left open.

We joined the ship here and then, after 24 days, left from here. We organised a walking tour and saw the ancient city. Spent time walking around on our own. Stayed near the Termini, caught the Metro, bus on a 2 day pass. Iconic city, well worth a visit.

I did not do anything here, but what I saw of it didn’t look interesting.
