Thanks for your inputs so far. Well, it seems like we have decided on a 7-day RT cruise leaving from Venice. That would leave us about 6 days (seventh day is travel day) post-cruise. I was thinking about staying in Venice for 3 days (2 nights) and then take an overnight train (the third night post cruise) to Rome for the remaining 3 days (3 nights--a morning flight on the last day). Is this too ambitious? Like I mentioned earlier, I don't want to rush during this trip at all. However, someone has commented that staying in Venice for 6 days may be a bit too long. Any thoughts/comments much appreciated.
