…I stayed at the hotel and have a video of the hotel and room, as well as a review on the blog. As an aside, residents of Monaco are not allowed to gamble in the casino! #3 Yacht Basin From the casino area, walk down the winding hill to the left (or right) and go to the yacht basin. This is incredible. The most jaw dropping ships are there. It is mind boggling the wealth that owners must have. It is really quite something. In winter there is a chri…

When you arrive the car is parked nearby. In the case of Cunard ships the cars are parked for collection right in the large warehouse/cruise terminal. As we got close to the Southampton…
