Additional details
Wanted to see Guenesey and Orkney Isles plus Ireland. Diisappointed not to get to Guurnsey due to weather.
Le Havre good to see Bayeau Tapestry, no Princess tours there..
Despite wet weather the trip was worth while, brilliant and very interesting to see the 11th centuary tapestey 70 kms wide! Rude taxi drivers at port, wanting to take only rich Americans to Paris and charge 700 euros!
Cabin Review
Balcony
Excellent, clean and comfortable, bed mattress did not have comfort mattress cover, had to ask steward for it, fine afterwards.
Port Reviews
Southampton
Southampton interesting town, old and new areas, old town walls and new shopping centre.
Ferry over to Isle of Wight worth a trip
Cobh (Cork)
Lovely port, easy teip on train into Cork. Took tour to Jamesons Whiskey, coach driver gave information, coach plus entry fee good value
Dublin
Due to lack of buses ordered, unabke to get off ship for 90 minutes, made day short and unable to see as much as planned, too late to see Trinity College Library or Book of Keills.
Guiness Brewary too commercialised
