Creator's Key Takeaways

We have flown to Rome so that we can board New Staten for a 14-day transatlantic to take us back to Florida.

This hotel is located basically in the airport. You don't even have to go outside. You just follow the instructions the whole way to get to the Hilton. So convenient.

We booked a guarantee interior and they put us in a category I accessible cabin. So, something slightly different and unique to show today.

If she's on your ship, definitely check it out.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the cruise line transfer service from Rome airport to the port for convenience.
Book a guarantee cabin for a potential upgrade, as it may result in an accessible cabin.
Check the library early in the cruise for book exchanges, as it may be empty initially.

It's time for our ride home... a 14-night transatlantic cruise onboard Nieuw Statendam with Holland America Line! Join us as we tour our room at the Hilton Rome Airport, which is an easy walk to/from Rome Fiumicino "Leonardo da Vinci" Airport (FCO), then use the cruise line transfer service to reach the port of Civitavecchia. Once onboard, we'll grab lunch at Grand Dutch Café, get reacquainted with the ship's layout, tour our "guarantee" cabin which turned out to be an accessible interior, then settle into an evening of entertainment, including guitar tunes from Todd Johnson and a main theater show called "Queens Of Rock" with Emma Kurij!! :D 00:00 BOOM! 00:04 Welcome To The Video 01:15 Hilton Rome Airport 05:14 Embarkation & Exploration 08:12 Accessible Cabin Tour 12:12 Wandering & Mustering 16:04 Dinner & Tunes 19:26 Rock & Roll Show 22:10 The Evening Ends -Cruise Line: Holland America Line -Ship Name: Nieuw Statendam -Cruise Dates: November 15, 2025 - November 29, 2025 -Embarkation: Civitavecchia, Italy -Itinerary: Civitavecchia (Italy), Cartagena (Spain), Málaga (Spain), Gibraltar (UK), Ponta Delgada (Azores), Fort Lauderdale [14-Night Transatlantic] Give us a Like, a Subscribe, and keep an eye here for more fun!!! :) Most-Used Social Media for ParoDeeJay: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/parodeejay Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parodeejay Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/parodeejay Contact Dee to start planning your own exciting adventures!
