cruise ships (I've) been on also stop at other ports in southern France, or Monte Carlo 20 min by train to Nice, Menton is also a fun casino.My favorite in the area is San Remo, full large casino no fee to get in and no dress code as of 3 years ago, with friendly cage. I've been to Europe 12 times over the past 50 years, loved every minute and been to over 20 casinos. Just a great experience. I also love London, even with the dress code and fee at most casinos. John, you will have a great time.
