Well...glad I did it twice. Bet rates are going to go through the roof for those last sailings in big ships.

The article states ships of 96,000gt won't be allowed to sail through Venice City Center starting November 2014. The amount of ships with 40,000gt will be cut by 20% in January 2014 if they want to sail through the Giudecca Canal. What does this mean for the S Class ships?
