Lynn, we leave tomorrow and fly into Venice for a Navigator pre-cruise stay. We've booked a hotel near Piazzale Roma, not only for the very reasonable rates, but because it's so close to the cruise terminal and we will only have to drag our luggage a few steps to board.
I'll try to remember to get back on here at the end of the week and let you know how it works.
Tomorrow!!! AHHHHHH!
Yvonne
