Quite a good trip and value for money. It was quite tight at the restaurant for meals but not bad. Inclusive drinks generally was appreciated. It was naturally difficult to understand the English spoken by the French staff. The bathroom in the room was very small. A couple of the excursions were a little disappointing.Show more

Outstanding in every way. Ruben, the general manager, and his entire staff were totally professional and considerate. Food was superb. As the only American onboard, I never felt out of place and met many wonderful travelers. Five stars is not enough to give this cruise. Am already planning my next.Show more

The staff and food on this trip were excellent. Our room was very nice and clean, with great views. The only difficulty we ran into was that only one of the excursions was offered in English, as the guide found out there were English speakers and she was happy to translate. It would have been more economical (and more enjoyable) had we just paid the entrance fee and got the headphones with English. It would be great to see a system out in place for some recordings or other devices to allow the English translations, as technology is simple now. Other than that, the trip was wonderful and exactly as described.Show more
