    Forgap, You are right it is more of a banquet than a romantic dinner. Still a lot of fun if you know what you have signed up for. I would never expect to have a romantic date on a shore excursion, jmo.

    I have done the Chateaux tour with dinner in St. Emilion. Well worth it although it was 1yr pre-covid. Can't imagine a tried and true formula has changed much.

    Agree on Pinot Blanc. You don't see it often, but delicious.

    So PaulaJK what has been your solution? We are doing Montreal to Boston on Grandeur next year. Both of us over 80 and I need a rollator to prevent falls. I can do distance but not sure about DW. I spoke to Regent when reserving, the answer obviously was "no problem". Right

    We are doing Montreal to Boston next year. I queried my TA about private tours, almost none except Quebec and Montreal. I actually have enjoyed many of the Regent tours, especially the one on Komodo. I have also taken private tours that were terrible, the one that comes to mind is the Scavi under St. Peter's. Guide didn't really speak english- she was Polish.

    I second visit the Intrepid. I served 3+ years on USS Essex the first of the Essex class. The Intrepid is one of only two still floating.

    If you are an old time movie buff you can get luncheon reservations at Rick's Cafe in Casablanca. Obviously not a Regent shore excursion but we were denied by our cruise being canceled by Covid. Give my eye teeth for another try but not to be.

    Second the praise for Eze. Wonderful old town and a center for the perfume industry.

    You are in for a treat at the Londra Palace. Try to get one of their lagoon facing rooms. Some even have a balcony!

    I second forgap. Turkish Air was excellent. Have flown them 4 times. Istanbul lounge can be very full.

    Loved your pictures of Bergen. When we were there the water was coming down sideways.
