Was wondering who else is planning on traveling 7/13 from Paris French Waterways river cruise?

Our first river cruise and we are very excited. We have traveled to Alaska on Princess and I have been to the Caribbean.

New experience for both of us and looking forward to smaller ship.

Anyone from NYC/NJ/CT metro area?

Hardest decision is packing light due post cruise. We are going along the Rhine for a week on our own and dread over packing. Less is more.

Women always seem to need more shoes:rolleyes:;)

Any suggestions for cruise?

Greetings:

We will be arriving Paris 7/10 to enjoy the city on our own before our departure 7/15. Thought a group of us watching fireworks 7/14 would be memorable. Not fixed on planning out details yet. Fireworks start at 11 and as per other websites, all transportation stops between 11-1AM. TA forums suggest picnicking in the park early afternoon and hunkering down. Not thrilled with idea of giving up a major part of the day. If any of you have visited the city before and wish to gather in an appropriate spot convienent to our hotel, let's start discussing.

Was also considering ballet tickets at Grandier. Anyone else arriving early and wish to go? Not so sure my husband will jump at the chance ;-)

We are staying near the Cathedral on the Island upon our arrival. My husband studied in Paris for a year and he loved the park at the end of the island.

My first trip. So much to see...so little time! Corny, but very true.

Following cruise we are going to Little Paris within Strasbourg and traveling along the Rheine by train and ferry for a week. Has anyone else considered extending their trip? Please share.

Looking forward to Tauck's River Cruise. We went to Alaska last summer on Princess line.

FYI: We are from the Princeton area.
