Hi pcp, welcome to Cruise-Chat. I am moving your post to the European Port Chat section of the board in hopes that you will get better visability and more responses. I have not had the opportunity to take that itinerary, so can't be of much assistance. Jim2Tak had a good solution, however. Best wishes for a wonderful cruise and once again, welcome aboard!

Look here for some information about transportaion facilities from the airport to the cruise terminal. The fastesd way is to go by bus to Venice Piazzale Roma. From there you may catch a shuttle bus to your ship or a local taxu (about 5 euros).
The nicest way is to take the ALILAGUNA (about one hour) from the airport to Stazione Marittima.
Look here for informations about the airport boat and the fairs and click here for infos about the airport bus

and here
is the timetable for the Alilaguna boat.

More informations? Please ask.
Regards
Uwe
