Comments and Suggestions:

1)  It is about a 15 or 20 minute walk from the Ship to the Water Bus stop in Piazza Roma. You should buy a 24 hour pass for 16 euro for unlimited use of the Water bus. Their are 2 water bus lines, one of which makes fewer stops between the Piazza Roma and St. Marks square. The stops each line makes are clearly outlined on a board at each water bus station. It is about a 30 minute water bus ride to St. Marks Square. You should be aware of the difference between the water bus and private water taxis. Water taxis are free to charge whatever they want, and can be very expensive.

2)  You should preorder your tickets to visit St. Marks Cathedral,  This will save you a lot of time waiting in line. You can easily purchase tickets to the Doges Palace as well as the Museum on St. Marks Square in the second floor museum entrance at the far corner of St. Marks Square from the entrance to the Doges Palace. At the time of our visit, there were thousands of tourists, but no line at all at this location to buy tickets to Doges Palace.

3)  You may want to preorder tickets to the special tour of normally off limits areas of the Doges Palace online, but you have to do it months in advance.
