The Odd Couple Posted March 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Which berth number does Connie usually use in Venice, please? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted March 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2019 My info. is dated as we did this cruise back in 2017...I can’t remember how many other ships were in port with us; that affects which berth is assigned. If you’re facing the 2 docks, we were on the right one, at the closest cruise terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saab4444 Posted March 24, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I believe no ship has a standard or fixed dock in Venice but they are all close together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quack2 Posted March 25, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 25, 2019 If you haven't already, come back to Venice when you are NOT on a cruise ship. Totally better experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootman4U Posted March 30, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 30, 2019 The notion that somebody only visits Venice in conjunction with a cruise is insulting if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare groryjm Posted March 30, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 30, 2019 When we were there a couple of years ago the ship was birthed over night and Celebrity had a shuttle direct to St Marks Square. It was beautifully peaceful going through the streets and canals at night with virtually no tourists 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved it so much that we’ve returned many times since. Brings make memories as our youngest celebrated his 5th birthday on board - my how the years fly past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBare Posted March 30, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 30, 2019 It can use any, in fact when we were on Celebrity Solstice for an overnight, the ship even changed berth while we were out for the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are planning to stay in Venice for 3 days after the cruise ends to see more of the sites and relax and enjoy the people. Any recommendations on what to do and places to stay, we don't want to do cheap but we don't want to break the bank either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ghstudio Posted April 26, 2019 #11 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) One of the off the beaten tourist sites, if you enjoy modern art, is visiting the Peggy Guggenheim museum....check it out on the internet....wonderful museum. Of course, the incredible, must see, tourist sites are obvious from any guidebook. We wouldn't put visiting Murano high on our list, but some think it's wonderful. Visiting the Jewish ghetto is interesting...best with a walking tour (check viator). That romantic gondola ride....$$$$$$$$'s....let your wallet (or spouse) be your judge. Hotels....our preference is to be near piazo san marco, but most hotels are not too far a walk from there. Take money....nothing in Venice is a bargain.

He has a section listing hotels at different price points. We have stayed several times at Hotel Campiello, on a quiet side street close to the S. Zaccaria vaporetto stop and 5 min walk to S. Marco. The book also rates the usual tourist sites and even has guided descriptions of some of the sites. PS, I wouldn't exactly call the Peggy Guggenheim "off the beaten track" lol.

woneill63 Posted April 29, 2019 #13 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Hello, I have a question a bit off topic. Prior to sailing on the Constellation we are staying in Venice a few days at a hotel right off San Marco Square. What is the best way to get to the pier ? All replies are appreciated.

Rare cruisestitch Posted April 29, 2019 #14 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Best as in cheapest? fastest? Easiest? Most luxurious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woneill63 Posted April 29, 2019 #15 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I would say fastest/convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted April 29, 2019 #16 Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) You say you are near San Marcos. Is your hotel on a canal? If so, then a private water taxi is probably the fastest way, but they are expensive. Edited April 29, 2019 by cruisestitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
