Seeing Santorini is on my travel bucket list, and I am incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to do this cruise at the age of 26, with 5 of my close friends. My group ranged in age from 26-31 and our youth put us definitely in the minority of the ship. Most other young cruisers were couples/honeymooners.

Getting in to Venice was quite simple for most of us (we all had separate travel plans). I arrived the Friday before around 11pm. I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn which is on the mainland. I took the public bus ACTV Line 5, which goes from Marco Polo airport to Piazzale Roma, but has a stop right outside of the hotel. At the airport I bought two tickets for 1.60 Euro each, one for Airport > Hotel and then next morning Hotel > P Roma. This was significantly cheaper than a taxi, and the bus was quick and easy.

Once at P Roma, we dropped our bags at the deposito bagagli (just to the right of the people mover entrance) and explored Venice. Picking up our bags later was no problem. We took the People Mover (1 Euro) to the port. Signage at the port was abundant and embarkation was one of the fastest I've been through. We boarded around 1:30pm, but if I could do it over again I'd wait to board until around 3pm to have more time in Venice.
