I thought I'd get this going since more than likely most people will arrive one, two, three or more days prior to the cruise. And, ASSUMING this will be a European cruise sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome's port). I thought this would be a good place to start listing places and things we could do as a group for pre-cruise sightseeing and also for people to make hotel suggestions here too.

Great idea Jill! When in Rome...again, assuming this is our starting point... I'd like to see and do the following:

1.) The Coliseum. Not just riding by it in a bus tour but actually getting into it.
2.) Go to Trevi Fountain and throw in my coin to insure my return Very Happy
3.) Visit The Pantheon
4.) Take a river cruise on the Tiber
5.) Have dinner in a good, non-tourist trap restaurant

There is a fantastic little restaurant behind the Vatican. I can't remember the name, but I'm going back this summer and will find out if they would accomodate us!

I'm more than likely joining you, and, for those looking for a luxury market hotel, we were recommended Hotel Splendide by Admin Tina a few years ago and it is now our hotel of choice. It's a great little hotel just off Via Veneto.

I'm also more than likely booking and, personally, I'd like some time to visit the Vatican and Sistine Chapel.

Sounds like we're coming up with some great pre-cruise sightseeing things to see and do! Can't wait!

There is a Holiday Inn over by the Vatican that is good and has a pool. Very important when visiting Rome during the summer months. That's one you might want to check out for the group.
