Sensations of Lyon & Provence with Nice Cruise Review

“To be completely honest I wasn’t expecting to have as much fun on this cruise as I did, purely because I’ve never really been the type to go on cruises to begin with since I usually just go abroad by plane, but this trip has completely turned my view around. I really thought I’d be bored stuck on the ship while we were sailing but I had a brilliant time. There was always something for me to do and the food was incredible. Emerald have a customer for life in me, can’t wait to cruise again soon.”
