Does anyone know if Royal Caribbean has a free water taxi from the ship to St. Mark's Square?

Unless things have changed dramatically, RCL offers no free water taxi. We were docked in VCE on RCL - no free transport whatsoever, be it taxi, alilaguna or vaporetto. 

You can easily take the people mover over to Piazzale Roma & then take the vaporetto to St. Marks.

or

The Alilaguna will take you from the Marittima cruise terminal to St. Mark's Square.

No - as described by dogs4fun. I’ll recommend the Alilaguna - €15 pp - does take one and half hour but very nice trip - water taxi faster and more expensive. 

Both the Alilaguna and water taxi will only require a short walk both at airport and at Cruise terminal.

Depends how long you are in Venice, but I would suggest buying a 1 day Vaporretto ticket, so you can explore as much of Venice as you want.

This website has very good information about transport in Venice https://europeforvisitors.com/venice/articles/vi-transport.htm
