Before the cruise, we stayed in a small hotel in Venice, Hotel Locanda ai Santi Apostoli. It is secluded and quiet located in the in the Cannaregio district and it overlooks the Grand Canal. The rate was very reasonable and it included breakfast and wifi. We would stay there again.
We really enjoyed this cruise – the itinerary and the ship.
The cabin was well-tended. We had room service for breakfast twice and it arrived at the beginning of the half hour window both times. We received a call just before it was delivered.
Our cabin was mid-ship on the hump behind the partition for the elevators. It was very quiet with no noise from the elevators. yet very convenient. It is also very close to the card room.
