I am currently on a cruise (Princess,in Rhodes right now) which will dock in Venice on 11/06. I have an early morning flight (8:00 a.m.). The airport is not far, but the cruise ship is telling us that there are no taxis (water or otherwise) until after 8:00 a.m.

Therefore we need to purchase a "transfer " at $59 per person in order to get to the airport. This doesn't sound right. Does anyone have any experince with this? If so, please advise.

Thanks!
