Shorten Venice stay & add Dubrovnik?
I currently have about 2.75 days available for sightseeing in Venice (arrive late wed night and leave sat night) and as part of a reward ticket i'm booking I am able to add a quick stopover in Dubrovnik on route. The result of which would be:
1) 1 night in Dubrovnik or 6 hours of available sightseeing time
2) Reduces Venice sightseeing time by 1 full day to 1.75 days
We can do a quick tour of Dubrovnik in 6 hours not a problem but i'm concerned about losing time in Venice as really we should have at least 2 full days allocated correct? If I change it, we would arrive in Venice on a Thursday at 8pm and depart Saturday at 8pm.
Is it worth losing time in Venice by adding Dubrovnik or forget the idea? Thoughts?
thank you.

Your second version has less in Venice time than you think - (I assume you are flying in). With an 8PM arrival you'll get to the hotel around 10, and then on departure you'll have to leave Venice in the late afternoon. I sure wouldn't cut any time there.

I have been to both and would love to say stop in Dubrovnik, but I would stay in Venice. I have been to Venice several times and sometimes go out of the way for a only few hours stop there, but would not do that for Dubrovnik. There is so much to see in Venice and If you find you have a few extra hours, you could go to one of the little islands like Burano. With extra time, I would choose an afternoon in nearby Vicenza over a stop in Dubrovnik.
