Royal Princess
Sail date: May 21, 2015
Great cruise thru the British Isles
This cruise covered many stops; one in England, three in Ireland and Scotland plus a day in France. Beautiful countryside and Orkney Islands was unique all on its own; much like Iceland. We saw so many sites, and the two days at sea were welcomed rest from the excursions. The excursions covered a lot of territory and if you went on an all day excursion, the lunches were all fabulous!! This cruise was more taxing than the Alaska cruise which is only 7 days long, but we would highly recommend this cruise partly because so much is covered in 12 days.
Cruise tips
Invergordon (Inverness & Loch Ness), Scotland
Great tour guide; Scottish gentleman.
Great tour guide; Scottish gentleman.
South Queensferry (Edinburgh), Scotland
Fabulous city; great architecture.
Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, Scotland
Great tour guide; Scottish gentleman.
Tour guide spoke so softly, you couldn't hear her half the time. Givernay was fabulous!!
Beautiful scenery.
Excursion was very rushed and tour guide seemed like a novice. We didn't even get to see all the the country house because she kept having the driver stop at every curve for a photo-op.
Fabulous architecture.
St. Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands
Easy walking around.
Took shuttle from Heathrow airport so didn't see much of Southampton.
Royal Princess
Our balcony room was near the forward elevators, so was very convenient to get to different levels. Also, we used laundry service and they did an excellent job in a timely manner.
