Carnival Dream Mediterranean Cruise, Oct 14, 2009 - Rome

Rome

Day 00 Rome

FCO (Rome airport) website: http://www.adr.it/fiumicino

A map: http://www.italiantourism.com/cosmo/mappecitta/roma.jpg

Our Hotel: http://www.hoteldeiconsoli.com/

There is a Coop supermarket not that far away - around the corner from Roma dei Papi Hotel de Charme.

We are using Airport Shuttle ( http://www.airportshuttle.it/ ) for transportation from FCO to our hotel (31 Euros for two) and for transportation from the hotel to the port (90 Euros for two). I have used them before for airport transportation and happy with them. They are also authorized to enter into port cruise terminal area.

Not sure about our schedule for the day, but have signed up for a Rome at Twilight Tour through ThroughEternity tours: http://www.througheternity.com/grouptoursrome/grouptoursrome005.htm

Maybe a WIND or TIM data sim here.
