Pre/Post Cruise & Dis/Embarkation
We drove down from Scotland with overnight stay in Preston. Deliberate decision to avoid the need for flying and limited baggage weight. We parked with AB Ports at the quayside; at £10 per night I don’t consider this cheap but it was extremely convenient and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. Suitcases were collected literally from the boot of the car and trollies were available to help us back from the ship.
We checked in around 12:30 and were on the ship within quarter of an hour. Customary glass of fizz to greet us on-board.
Great view. No noise issues. Close to Fwd stairs. Bed by balcony set-up
