Venice: Duty Free shops in the cruise ship port?
Does anyone know if there are any duty free shops in the cruise ship port in Venice? We'd like to buy a bottle or two "for the cabin" before embarking on our cruise and are wondering whether to buy while out and about in town or wait until we're about to board.

Thanks Ira. The problem is on Princess ships they usually won't let you actually have the duty free bottles until the cruise is over. We like to have a sip of something in the cabin occasionally. I guess we'll do the shopping before departure day.

Hi hawk,

Bummer
I suggest that you bring a bottle with you. Spirits are expensive in most of Europe.

Thanks again Ira. I was hoping to avoid lugging a bottle on the plane but I guess we'll have to. There is a duty free shop in the port in Athens, just before you board ship and that's what made me hope for the same in Venice. Oh well.
