This 8-day voyage segment had a high percentage of British Commonwealth citizens on board. It was opportunity to see areas of the country some have never visited. A week is long enough to relax, yet not so long that getting time off from work would normally be a problem.

The first two ports on the Around the British Isles tour started with two historic ship terminals. At Southampton we used the Queen Elizabeth II terminal rather than the Ocean Terminal generally used by QM2. Due to weather conditions we arrived late and another ship had to divert from Dover to Southampton. So QM2 berthed at the home of her grandmother, the QE2. Passing through the QE2's terminal again was nostalgic for many.

Fortunately the next morning port was Cherbourg, France, which was a short distance so the late departure from Southampton didn't affect our arrival. What did hurt was advancing clocks yet another hour to conform to continental European time.
