It was amazing and never a dull moment with laughs the entire time. The excursions were very well planned, Rolf was a great coordinator and made it all happen flawlessly. Food was not only beautifully presented, but also flavorful and true to France. Of course other selections were available for not so exotic tastes or if you just didn't feel the chef's menu! Our entire table of six, mostly ate the chef's recommendation each night with great satisfaction!! Wine and beer don't stop during lunch and dinner and ohh la la, the desserts... wow!!! The ship was very clean and well taken care of and the crew was attentive and respectful. Each excursion was included in the cruise fee with fabulous views at all angles. Tour guides were very knowledgeable, waited for us to take pictures, made sure we were safe when walking in the streets and took us to all the good places with our earphones so we heard every word about each city. Of course you could choose to stay on the boat and sun on the deck, get a massage or possibly visit the wheelhouse which was amazing to see!
