Venice






The last day of the cruise has sadly arrived. We have enjoyed each day and port (well most of them), and will miss the Voyager of the Seas. Today, we woke up at 6:30 a.m. to head to the 12th floor deck to watch as we headed to our port by riding through the Grande Canal here in Venice. It was a beautiful sight as we passed Piazza di San Marco and the Palazzo Ducale. We headed out on the town today, taking advantage of the water bus system. We saw and shopped on the Rialto Bridge, went to the glass blowing island of Murano, toured the Palazzo Ducale, and witnessed the splendor of the Basilica of San Marco. Tonight was also our last night in the dining room. Our waiters have be wonderful and brutally honest at times. Our table was pretty young with Aggie and I as the oldest people at the table of six. We sat with a couple of guys from Liverpool, England, and a young couple from Nuremberg, Germany. Overall, I totally recommend sailing with Royal Caribbean.
