My daughter and I are cruising in June on Oasis of the Seas out of Barcelona. The early dining is already booked. The late dining is at 8:30. We are currently scheduled for MTD. I've read previous posts about issues being seated for MTD, long wait times, etc. I do like having the same wait staff every night, too, so the 8:30 might be a better option (if I can stay awake that long!) Any advice? Would MTD be difficult with only the two of us?

Curious if anyone has done this. It appears a motor coach takes you from port to Rome where you take open air bus and hop off when you like. You meet motor coach for drive back to cruise ship. There are two of us at $80 a person. I typically don't like the cruise ship excursions and know there are cheaper options, but I'm traveling with my 22 year old daughter and wondering if it will be less stressful than navigating train. Would love your thoughts!

I've seen several posts that touring Rome in a golf cart is a great way to see several attractions in a short port of call stop. Can someone tell me the exact website to book this? There are several variations of the name, and it looks like there are a few companies that offer this. Which is recommended? TIA!

Ignore previous question! Roger, I just found your post with suggestions! Thanks!

My daughter and I will be traveling by cruise ship to Palma de Mallorca in June. Would like to spend that day at a beach club with access to chairs, restrooms, snacks, etc. I would love recommendations that are easy to reach from cruise terminal. TIA!

@mapleleaves Thanks for the information. Should we purchase these tickets ahead of time? I'm guessing with the cruise ships there and only one departure time that its going to be crazy busy. I also just discovered that our cruise has passengers boarding the cruise in Rome. (We board in Barcelona). Maybe this is an advantage? Thanks!

Thanks for the advice do far. I realized I incorrectly said "hire a car." I have absolutely no desire to drive in Rome. 🙂 I meant hire a driver, taxi, transport service, etc.

What is the best way to travel from Civitavecchia into Rome city center? We are cruising Royal Caribbean but I don't want to do any of their excursions. Will they offer transportation? Should we hire a car? Thanks in advance! We will be there in June.
