South Queensferry (Edinburgh), Scotland Port Reviews

Took the ship excursion to St. Andrews. We had been there twice before, and my husband played there in 1989. We simply wanted to see the town again. The ship’s tour was very unorganized on the pier. But it did allow us to see the town, reminisce, and buy some souvenirs .

We booked a non-Princess excursion, but unfortunately received a poor introduction to a beautiful city. The city is beautiful and we would recommend taking the time to exploring it.

Took the ship's tour to Edinburgh Castle. It was amazing but the size of the crowds was off putting and there wasn't enough time to really have the free time to explore the Royal Mile on your own either.

Very rough weather day...tendering was rough (obviously not NCL's fault). Our excursion was very rushed as rain had flooded the motorway causing delays in transit so we had to run to take photos at both stops. Beautiful scenery on the excursion though (Braveheart excursion).

Did the royal mile it was a fantastic excursion. I only wish I would of stayed after and taken the shuttle back to the ship to do a little shopping. If looking for cashmere scarfs, coats, purses,etc get them here.

It was an easy walk to get to the shuttle bus, which brought us to Edinburgh.

Took the train to Edinburgh. Enjoyed it.

Lots to do in Edinburgh. Enjoyed visiting the Royal Yacht Brittania and walking down the Royal Mile to Edinburgh Castle, but it was super crowded! Could have easily used another day there.

Great bustling city with lots to do and see. The castle has spectacular views.

I was disappointed in all the excursions we chose.
