    Route good. Excursions OK. MS Douce France very well maintained for its age. Unfortunately, many windows in the lounge and cabins are frosted and prevent a good view. Great cuisine, varied and very tasty and beautifully presented! 1++!!! Table drinks also excellent. Staff super friendly and competent!
