We could easily enter the Doge's Palace without queueing. A very interesting interior. However we would have preferred a pass including only admission to the Doge's Palace without the three museums at St. Marcus Place, because a visit to all of them requires a lot of time during a short stay at Venice.

The combo was great: a 2-day museum pass + vaporetto. The pass includes enough museums to last two days. I made the most of it.
