Two disappointing aspects: First, it wasn't stated on the website that starting from Lido di Jesolo meant stopping for 30 minutes in fierce sun while picking up Venice passengers. And that links to the second problem - the sun awning wasn't unfurled at any point,earning the upper deck was in full…”
