Re: Mediteranean cruise
No, they have not yet built flood gates or figured out a solution. And if I recall correctly, St. Mark's Square is one of the lower points. When we first walked through the Square, we saw what appeared to be long, low tables stacked up on one side, and our first thought was 'flea market.' Silly thought! Those are the platforms that are set up for people to walk on at times of acqua alta. Frankly I'm not sure how predictable it is; it could well be exacerbated by the full moon and consequent higher tides. Maybe do a Google search for more info on this issue. And have a great trip!!!
