Review summary
Fantastic cruise, staff, weather, and ports of call. As the port review would not come up, I’ll do it here. Stayed 4 nights in the Leonardo Hotel, Tower Bridge in London. Nice room, great amenities and very helpful staff. Easy to get anywhere with the HOHO bus, and river cruise. Enjoyed Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abby, St Paul’s cathedral, and definitely the fish and chips! Guernsey was cancelled due to weather. Cork Ireland was amazing. We did the Blarney castle tour. Teddy and Chris were our guides. They were hilarious. In Dublin we did a scone baking excursion that included a drive through the beautiful countryside. Scones, jam and tea were delicious. Liverpool was in the Steps of the Fab Four. We did the early morning excursion and went to the Beatles museum first and had it to ourselves! Saw Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, Paul and Johns boyhood homes, and Mathew street. Bucket list accomplished! Belfast Titanic exhibit was good. The city drive was interesting given the history of the area. In Glasgow we did the Easy Scottish Lochs tour. Some really beautiful spots, but was a bit too long on the bus for us. Orkney islands was picturesque. The standing stones are apparently 5000 years old! Enjoyed seeing the Italian church made out of a bunker. Edinburgh was one of our favourites. Beautiful town and castle. Difficult to navigate if you have any orthopaedic issues. In LeHavre we went to Honfleur. Quaint French town with cobblestones and lots of cafes. Very pretty!! All 4 of our friends ended up with covid. One couple reported it to medical, and were quarantined to their cabin for their last 3 days. They received FCC for those 3 days, had their excursion money refunded, were able to order off the main dining room menus, and could order anything from the bar. Well done Princess!!Embarkation
