Any suggestions of the top sights in the area of Cannes for a 1/2 day tour... Monaco, Monte Carlo, Coastal drive, St. Raphael? And what would be easiest to arrange from the cruise ship area?
Thank you for your time.

i suggest you to visit Nice, about 30 minutes from Cannes, Monaco is about 1 hour from Cannes and there is really nothing special to see, except if you are specialist in skyscrappers.
Go to www.nicetourism.com

As philpetrus suggests Nice is probably your best base, there is lots to do and it is fairly central to the other locations you want to visit.
Personally, I did not much enjoy Cannes (expensive, very concrete and only the stuff relating to the festival to see, really) or Monaco. There is the castle and gardens to see at Monaco and the casino if you%26#39;re in to that sort of thing, but it is not all that glamorous or interesting - again expensive and concrete mostly.
If it was me, doing half day tours, I would stick to Nice itself and the surrounding mountains, visiting places like Gourdon, Eze, the Villa Ephrussi or Vence.

As you only have 1/2 a day, an orgainised tour might be the best. Nice Tourist Office had several tour companies:
nicetourisme.com/GB/…frameset_visite.html
Also try the Viator tour company:

They offer a sightseeing tour of Nice - see above link - from that link you can see other tours of Nice and the surrounding area.
best wishes
