Dublin Cruise Reviews

Went to the Linen Library. It has a great genealogy library if you are interested in tracing your family roots. There is also a very nice eating area inside for drinks and snacks. ...

Dublin did not catch my fancy for some reason. Big cities are not my thing. ...

The city provided free bus shuttle to the city from the port, the problem I think they sit people by alphabetic order (LOL) it took us 2 hours to get out of the ship .... we visited the "tourist trap" Guinness brewery, a word of advise RESERVED YOUR ENTRANCE TICKET IN ADVANCE. It is interesting if you want to know how its made (3 ingredients) and you get a coupon changeable for a pint of ...

Pay for the guided tour ...

Used Hop On Hop Off and loved 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 ...

My hubby and I booked 2 tours in Dublin: 1) Guiness brewery, 2) Jameson Whiskey. Guiness was interesting but basically was a self guided tour by reading wall plaques as you made your way through the factory. Jameson was very interesting with a live person giving the history of the company and process. We also booked the special tasting for after the tour. A complete lesson in whiskey tasting. ...

We walked into town (quite far) and did a walking tour then went to Guiness. Prebuy your tickets for there if you are going during a busy time. ...

We pre booked 5 nights in Dublin renting a penthouse in suburban Dublin. Took Irish Rail one day to Gallway. Ireland has a good transportation system and it pays to buy a 3 day Leap Pass should you be in the area for 3 days or 4. Nice lunch one day at the Gresham Hotel. We found Dublin easy to get around. ...

Explored on our own. ...
