Review summary

Great trip. All of the passengers were very cordial and active. The different dance floors were always full.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Smooth process except they take your picture on the ship when you first board. This created a rather long line on uneven footing.

Dublin, Ireland

5 out of 5

Really great to have an overnight in this port. Lots to see and do. The Hop on Hop Off Bus is a great value. You can bargain to get the price down.

Belfast, Northern Ireland

Don’t miss the 7 mile long peace wall.

Thumbs Up 3

Invergordon (Inverness & Loch Ness), Scotland

1 out of 5

This’s is a very small town so we went to Inverness. It too is small

South Queensferry (Edinburgh), Scotland

5 out of 5

Don’t miss this port. Be sure to see the Royal Yacht Britanica.. Allow at least two hours it’s worth the time.

Thumbs Up 2

Le Havre (Paris), France

2 out of 5

The reason they dock at Le Havre is because it’s accessible. It’s the port for Paris and Normandy. The tour to Paris is 3 hours one way on a bus. A couple of hours touring once you are there then a 3 hour ride back to ship. This should be an overnight port and skip Invergordon/Inverness.
