Civitavecchia Check-In question.

We are going to take the train from Rome to Civitavecchia and then check-in for our cruise.

Does anyone recall if you can use the same corner gate thats used when disembarking at Rome or headed into Rome independently? It's a short walk to that corner of the port from the train station. However, if you have to walk to the far north end of the port for security etc, then maybe it's time for a taxi.

The gate or area I am talking about is next to the old fort at the farthest point a ship can go into the port, south end.

Google maps has a point marked "Cruise ship Shuttles" there as well.

Is check-in under a canopy next to the ship or in a building somewhere?

Thanks.

It has been a couple of years since we have been to Civitavecchia, but at that time the entrance by the old fort seemed to be permanently closed, and you had to take a shuttle to the ships from a parking lot at the far end of the port.

That was our experience too, a couple of years ago.
