If you walk up mountain, wear appropriate footwear. Can be dangerous, not suitable for young children.

Amazing. Don't get suckered in by taxi drivers. Take red hop on and off bus. Very reasonable kids are free and very thorough.

Venice has restrictions on the size of cruise ships that can dock in their port.

Totally agree,will take some persuading to go RCL again. The entertainment on deck 9 was bordering on comical and guest were applauding ironically in some cases. When the cruise director says to "belly flop" contestants,we want to see pain 😕 you know your in trouble.
