Not the best start to our cruise. Driver for “Sausmarez Manor” and Little Chapel excursion had trouble talking. (Uhh, uhh, uhh). Tour a bit rushed, but still good. It was still a decent value. Tender was over capacity. Significant wait times.

Cobh (Cork), Ireland

4 out of 5
Tour shorted due to shorter port time, but received partial refund automatically so still pleased.

Dublin, Ireland

Powers Court had lovely gardens Dublin Castle and Book of Kells were both interesting. Great guide. Good lunch at Ennis Kerry at Powers Court Arm, but limited quantity.
