When you look at the port times, and see that you're here for 12 hours, you may think you have a lot of time. (The same goes for Livorno). We did the Rome on Your Own shore excursion, which leaves an hour after the ship docks. Then it's an hour and a half or more, depending on traffic, to get to Rome and back. Then you have to be back on the ship half an hour before departure. So that leaves 7 1/2 hours in Rome. We got tickets for the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. When you get your shore excursion tickets, there is a note saying to not book anything before 11:00 am. Of course, this is too late, keep it in mind when planning your cruise. The same goes in Livorno if you're going to Florence or Pisa. Rome was amazing, but way overcrowded. The cruise goes to Rome on Wednesday, which is the day the Pope gives a public address, so it may be more crowded that day. We couldn't get close enough to the Trevi Fountain to throw a coin in, and even with timed tickets, the Sistine Chapel was wall to wall people, good thing what you want to see is on the ceiling.

We didn't leave the ship as was the case for quite a few of the pasengers...the ship wasn't 'quiet'/ It was Sunday which I think put people off going. I have done this itinerary 6 times now so knew how much Rome would take out of me.
