[Idyllchat] Venice gondola weight limits?

[Jay Cloidt]

My first thought was what is the cruise ship soaking them for the gondola
ride? My only experience with cruise excursions left me feeling that they
were not exactly bargains. They might be better off getting off the ship on
their own and arranging their own gondola ride. Plus walking around with no
agenda is one of the great pleasures of Venice.
