WeCruiseToo Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 We’ve done 4 river cruises so far and love everything about them! We’ve actually done the Paris to Normandy itinerary twice and we saw almost all different things each time – simply an amazing experience!

Jan115 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 The Paris to Normandy cruise sounds fantastic! I waved my iPhone with your post in front of my husband's face. But he still won't bite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
