Dubrovnik and Venice Pass

We are taking Venetian Passageways at the end of October from Athens to Venice. We will be spending a few days in Venice at the end of the cruise. Wondering if anyone has purchased either the Dubrovnik City Pass and the Venice Transit/Museum pass. In the case of the Dubrovnik Pass there is a discount if you order online and pickup at the tourist office. How close is the tourist office to the port? Any thoughts would be welcome

We saw a tourist information office near the Pile gate in Dubrovnik. Just bear in mind that Dubrovnik is supposed to be a tender port, so you should be entering the city walls at the Ploce gate;not sure if there is a tourist information office near there. We entered the city via Pile gate as the Captain opted to dock in Dubrovnik as there was a swell that would have made tendering difficult. The port was quite a distance from the city so Windstar arranged for a bus shuttle to and from the port. I see that the Dubrovnik card includes bus transportation - not sure you would need that as the main attraction is the pedestrian-only walled city. We walked the walls and went up to the adjacent Fort (included in the city wall ticket) and enjoyed exploring the many alleyways and taking in the scenery while sipping a beer. Others on the cruise also took the cable car.

In Venice we opted to just buy the 72 hour vaporetto transit pass (we stayed 2 nights post-cruise) and paid separately for entry into the attractions of our choice rather than being locked in by the museum and transit pass. BTW, entry to the Correr Museum (at the opposite end of St Mark Square from the Basilica) is included in the Doges Palace ticket. We thoroughly enjoyed the Palace and the Basilica, but were less impressed by the Correr Museum. The vaporetto pass also let us get out to Murano and Burano, which were definitely worth visiting. Obviously if you enjoy visiting museums, the Venice museum/transport combo may be worth it for you.

Thank you very much. How was the rest of the itinerary?

All of the ports of call were great - lots of history and charm 😊 We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise!
