Review summary
We didn't realize when we booked the cruise that the 7 day cruise is a continuation of the cruise that originates in Barcelona. This turned out to be great for us. Barcelona cruise terminal cannot accommodate the 4100+ passengers on this cruise so they split the on-boarding between Barcelona and Rome (we got on in Rome). Only 10% - 20% get on in Rome so there are no lines, no waiting and you are on the ship in less than 15 minutes. Things to note, Civitavecchia is approximately 1hr 20 minutes cab ride to downtown Rome. Florence is approx 1 hr by cab or train from Livorno (plan accordingly) we went to the train station in Livorno and went to Florence that way (30 euros round trip for both of us). Great way to see the country side and the train system in Italy is awesome.Embarkation
