We've cruised a lot and have done self-disembark before. Sounds like it would be fairly safe to give the shuttle an 8am pickup time. We only have the one night in Venice so would like to have as much time there as possible.

This is helpful. Are you saying if we walked off with our own luggage, we could do 7:30 and if we leave as "independent guest" with our luggage out the night before, then 8:30?

We are 8 adults on a Royal Caribbean cruise ending in Ravenna in May. We've hired a private shuttle to take us to Venice. What's the earliest time that I should tell them we could meet the shuttle off the ship?

Not a lot of work? So how do we get from Piazzale Rona to San Marcos easily with a lot of luggage?

This is good stuff. Something like Hotel Olimpia or Hotel Moresco sounds perfect. We'll be coming via private shuttle so driver could likely get us as close to the closest bridge we'd need to walk over. 2-4 minute walk to hotel, dump luggage, sightsee, back to hotel at night, up in the morning, walk 4 minutes, taxi to airport. For 1 night, seems like it would be a lot of work to get to/from St. Marks with luggage.

Ok, I requested a quote from them. Thanks!

That's helpful but I'm still confused a bit. If we stay near Piazza San Marco, how do we get from where we get dropped off at Piazzale Roma to there? Like for example, I happened to see Hotel Olimpia Venice. Is that convenient for this?

We are 8 adults with 8 large bags returning from a Royal Caribbean cruise getting dropped off at Piazzale Roma staying 1 night in Venice before we fly home. We'll arrive Venice around 11am and flight out the next day is around noon. Where are we best staying? Seems like it'll be a lot easier to stay by Piazzale Roma. Is it going to be worth it for one night getting our bags in and out of Venice City center? Are there hotels or services than can help get us to a hotel in city center? What are our options?

We are 8 people coming off Royal Caribbean Voyager of the seas in Ravenna port. Looking for reasonably priced, but easy (i.e. no train) transfer from Ravenna to Venice-Piazzale Roma. So far, I have a van booked for 400 euro. Is that a decent price for a 8 person van? What are our other options? Are there taxis or rideshares that hold 4 adults and 4 large suitcases or would we likely need 4 taxis/rideshares? About how much would those options cost? Would it be easy to get a taxi/rideshare coming off the ship with 3000 other people looking to do the same?

We are going to the Marriott with 6 next month and planning on doing day pass at $39*6=$234. A room for that night for 4 people is over $400. What's a day room? How do you get that and how much is that? How much should a tax to the Marriott cost as well?
