Professor Aronnax

I just asked that question last week with the concierge team. I was told that we can get off the ship at 7am if we let the staff know that we need to disembark early. We made reservations to be picked up at 7:15. We are not going to the Rome airport. We are going to spend two days in Rome but have a tour starting at 1:15 and wanted to get checked in to the hotel early, eat lunch, and buy metro tickets without being rushed. Google maps suggest that this could be up to a 2 hour drive since it is rush hour but it's only like 45 miles. The airport drive may miss most of that traffic so you may have a much quicker drive.

We are booked on Lufthansa and Air Canada for our trip to Rome.

Why do I feel like our family is one of the few that are scared to death of being stranded in Rome when we cruise? We would love to cruise without masks, but we can't miss more work after this cruise is over or throw away lots of money on hotels/food etc. while quarantining. I guess many of the 70% not wearing masks could be other Europeans that don't have to be tested to get home, but Americans are risking a big delay home if they get COVID. We had friends get stranded in Belize and it cost them thousands of dollars and most of their remaining vacations days at work.

We are considering the Spirit for a cruise next year and know very little about this cruise line.
