We didn't book an excursion on this day, thinking we wanted a slow day after our long flight across the pond. Even though we missed out on going to Bath or Stonehenge, we made the right decision. What a charming town! We had the luck of being there during a folk festival, with live music on 3 stages set up along the streets. After exploring the town and walking along the ocean boardwalk and alongside the canal that runs through the city, we made our way to a sidewalk cafe in front of one of the stages and enjoyed tea while listening to local music. We were thoroughly enchanted by the festival atmosphere and town. The only recommendation we had was to better inform the passengers about the free shuttles into town and its logistics. We had to go to Guest Services to inquire instead of having the information readily available. One recommendation is that if you do wish to visit Bath or Stonehenge instead, to book WAY in advance of the cruise. We unknowingly went during a very busy time and no excursions were available even 2 weeks out (including private tours not associated with Norwegian).

They encourage you to go direct to Weymouth, or more importantly buy their tour to Stonehenge! the ship doesn’t theshuttle to Weymouth stops in Portland itself which has a great museum about D Day and the Americans coming through Portland, also there is Portland castle which again was great

We participated in a Rotary Festival while we were in Weymouth. However, we would not have had as good a time otherwise. Instructions were not good for finding the train to Courf. However, the bus service was excellent. We took the boat ride back and it was very interesting. This could be mentioned in the visiting Weymouth sessions.
