GETTING TO THE CRUISE TERMINAL:

The most hassle free option is taking a Venice water taxi from the hotel’s private dock. It would take you straight inside the Stazione Marittima Venice cruise terminal
The nearest Venice vaporetto / water bus stop, S. Marco Valareso, is some 5 minutes walk away. It would take you to Piazzale Roma at the end of the Venice Grand canal. From there, you can either take a Venice land taxi, a free shuttle bus (only if your cruise line provides one) or walk to the Venice cruise terminal.
Also, there is Alilaguna’s BLU line San Marco Giardinetti stop some 5 minutes walk away, from where you get taken straight into Stazione Marittima, down the Giudecca canal. The line doesn’t run year round so check the timetable here: Alilaguna Blue Line timetable

TIPS:

Hotel Gritti Palace will be closing down temporarily for an extensive renovation in November 2011.
Some rooms can be a bit worn down so you better splurge on one of the grander ones or suites to avoid disappointment.
Not all rooms have a Venice Grand Canal view, some are even overlooking an inner courtyard. So make sure you ask for the view if that’s what matters to you and if you are ready to pay for it.
There is an extra 50 Euros charge for breakfast.
