what better way to see places in your own backyard that you have never got around to visiting than to cruise it

embarkation was excellent, my mother is not very mobile these days so we asked for wheelchair assistance - 10 out of 10 princess

for a cruise around the british isles you do need the weather and calm seas, we were blessed with both - thank you

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BB

overall good - primitive electrics

Port Reviews

St. Peter Port (Guernsey)

took the local bus around the island for £1.00 - took around an hour and a half, great value

Cobh (Cork)

nice place and very friendly locals

Greenock (Glasgow)

did our own thing, walked to the train station regular service very good and only £7 return, in glasgow did the open top bus tour for £13 very good - Glasgow is a very interesting place I enjoyed it

Kirkwall

did the princess tour good but not cheap, next time I would do my own thing

Edinburgh (South Queensferry)

did our own thing, bit of a walk to the station, less than £5 return, very good service, wandered around Edinburgh very enjoyable, plenty of tourist info around

Le Havre

did our own thing - free port shuttle to port gates then a bus service supposedly but no timetable so we took a taxi - 50 euro to centre of Bruges and 50 back so get together in groups of 8 for an eight seat taxi for best value

it looks like there is a tram service but not sure - taxi took around 25 minutes to the centre

bruges is lovely - either wander around or take a canal tour but you must eat the chocolates and may be try the beer
