Kreuzfahrtneuling Posted November 1, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 1, 2014 This is a link to my insanely long picture review of our British Isles cruise. I know that Celebrity does routes like this as well ... and so although we didn't travel with Celebrity, I thought you might be interested in the port stuff. Be my guest to read along! Lol -- the actual ports don't start until page 15:D:rolleyes:...just in case you want to skip the ship stuff. Oh, and I'm still writing it...so if you'd rather read the all finished review...better wait till christmas 2014...I think I may be finished by then:eek:. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2094891 Stef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zales Posted December 6, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thank You so much for posting this review on the Celebrity board as I rarely venture out to other lines (well I do with RC). I am only on page 3 and loving everything, your pics, detailed review, style of writing, font, color, everything, lol:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPacificbound Posted December 7, 2014 #7 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I love your Edinburgh pictures of all of the so familiar places. :) Love Scotland, looking forward to going back in 2015. I'll check back on your review later, thanks for posting it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie008 Posted December 7, 2014 #8 Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) new port-day-report all finished ... lol - in record time:D. Greenock, Scotland ... be my guest and enjoy. Stef Loved it - you know you could have taken the Erskine Bridge and skipped the tunnel? (Although come on - the Clyde Tunnel is awesome!:D) The bridge is off the M8 between the airport and Greenock and takes you right into Dumbarton road. My husband hates the bridge - BUT it is five minutes from the airport -(from airport take M8 West instead of East) and would have saved you going through the Glasgow traffic. As a child we were taken on a ferry across. It held I think six vehicles and went back and forth (Renfrew Ferry) over the Clyde. For inner city kids - we were so lucky with parents who would take us off hiking and camping around Loch Lomond at weekends. Still reading your review - What did you think of MSc? We are used to Costa - thinking of trying msc sometime? Edited December 7, 2014 by Blondie008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreuzfahrtneuling Posted December 8, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted December 8, 2014 thanks guys -- glad you all like it! Blondie: :)We loved MSC, but never tried Costa. I must admit, that I don't like some of Costa's intense use of colors on some of their ships I've checked out online....I already thought that the Magnifica had a bit too much glitz to handle. But I love to enter the ship and feel Italian flair (lol -- with all the ups and downs that includes:rolleyes:) ... I guess, that could be the same on Costa?

Stef From what I am given to understand there are more similarities than differences. I like the NeoRomantica from the NeoCollection - she is a beautiful smaller ship - very tasteful - and boutique style. I have also been on the Magica and the Serena - didnt care for the Magica but the Serena had a great crew and a fantastic club restaurant. Some of the design though is indeed a bit sore on the eyes = perhaps the reason for all of those Italian designer sunglasses ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreuzfahrtneuling Posted January 1, 2015 Author #11 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Done with Dublin! Well -- with the daily port visit stuff at least;). Check it out ... but careful, lot`s of history included and there`s an unexpected, quite frightful ending! Stef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
