Nice is one, and its only a short trip from there into Monaco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the cruise on the Sapphire Princess, it would have to be the better cruise, longer, and more ports. A newer ship as well. I wonder what they are offering to move people over?

I wonder what they are offering to move people over? Yes it goes to Hawaii and Tahiti and NZ. I have had my eye on it all year, but its a bit pricey. I believe it has also been very popular. We have friends who are cruising from LA, then when they get to Sydney, stay on board and go all the way back again. Now thats what you call a great Back to Back cruise.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaznjo Posted July 23, 2010 Author #913 Share Posted July 23, 2010 looks like the Norweigan spirit is already on its way to boston... shame everything is so dark at the moment.... this is their bridge cam http://174.133.163.122/nclindex.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Coast Cruisers Posted July 23, 2010 #920 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I think there are a couple of ports along that coast where you could tender ashore.Nice is one, and its only a short trip from there into Monaco. When we were there on Celebrity Constellation we anchored offshore at Villefranche which is sort of in the middle and only a short local bus trip either to Cannes or Monaco.
