We have a western Mediterranean cruise in June, and there are shore excursions to Monaco from both Cannes and Nice (Villefranche). We want very much to place a few bets at the Casino there, and are packing appropriate attire to go in.
If we do a Monaco hop-on-hop-off bus tour excursion, will there be enough time to gamble at Casino Monte Carlo, if it opens at 2pm?
Would it be a better idea, if we want to spend some time in the Casino, to book a private ride into Monaco and back to the ship?
Does anyone who has been on excursion at Cannes or Nice remember when you needed to be back on the ship?
I realize that this is extremely ambitious for first-time cruisers to attempt, but any experience you can share related to this would be valued.
Thanks in advance!
