I have been fortunate to enjoy Venice in all four seasons, the most memorable being winter. Mist over the canals, glimpses of that "Don't Look Now" character, and the restaurants that were open were charging sensible prices and seemed genuinely glad of the business. I'm not usually an eco-warrior, but I have a pal that I was with at Uni and who lives in Venice that definitely is. He convinced me that mega cruise ships sailing into the heart of Venice was the worst possible idea, and I'm pleased to see that Norwegian Cruise Line have recently deleted Venice from their itineraries.
