[gnial131]

If you have taken this NCL Shore Excursion...your thoughts please....

The dazzling city of Nice enjoys a privileged setting on the hill-framed curve of the Baie de Anges. Travel along the Promenade de Anglais, see the Russian Orthodox Church and take a walk around the fascinating old town with its narrow streets teeming with life. Take in the vibrant colors and fragrances of the flower market, then continue to Monaco and enjoy a guided walking tour of the main highlights. You will have free time for lunch on "the Rock" before continuing to Monte Carlo. Marvel at the Place du Casino, where you will have some free time to take in the attractions of your choice around the square. Note: Casino de Monte Carlo opens its Salles Americaines (free admission) at noon, with slot machines only. Salles Publiques (fee of 10 Euros in cash) is open at 12:00 noon for Roulette, 2:00 pm for slot machines. Visitors must be at least 18 years of age, show passport and driver's license. Morning tours to Monte Carlo will not be able to enter the Grand Casino. There is a free-admission, American-style casino at the Cafe de Paris, which opens at 10:00 am. Due to time in port, you will not have enough time to visit the Grand Casino. Due to the Grand Prix Event in May, the coaches are not allowed to enter Monaco. Your coach will park at the old train station where you'll continue on foot for an approximagely 30 minute walk uphill, over cobblestone streets and large steps. This is for the sailing of May 11th, 2008. This tour is not available for the sailings of May 4th & 18th, 2008.
