Weather conditions. Guernsey is notorious for adverse sea conditions, and probably about 50%of the time the tenders cannot operate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone stay in this cabin . And your thoughts in the British Isles Itinerary.. ? Thank you You are going to love the ship and the itinerary. We have done this twice, both times on the Caribbean Princess and will be doing a similar voyage next April on the Crown as we sail from here in Florida and transatlantic to Southampton by way of Portugal and France then the second voyage is doing some of the ports you are visiting (Guernsey, Cork, Dublin and Glasgow) but with Portland and Holyhead thrown in. If you are thinking of flying in a day or two earlier to London, my advice is to do at least two days ahead of embarkation, take Smith's for Airport livery to Southampton from Heathrow and stay at the Ibis Hotel. It is moderately priced and a lot cheaper than London and a short walk to the train station. Here you can take the train the next day to Stonehenge or Westminster and enjoy a pre-cruise exploration. The port stop you are taking in LaHave for Paris is quite a distance from Paris itself and the trip eats up most of the day. We opted to take the tour to see Normandy and the history there.

Larrytheg Posted March 22, 2021 Author #30 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Thanks for all the Advice we always try to fly in 1 or 2 before cruise and take a few days after there is 4 of us in this cruise so we will decide dates later . . .

My wife’s Sister and her husband are joining us , and last week wife’s family booked a 7 day cruise in November 2022 so we will be quite busy . I see you started a Roll Call so you should be getting others to join. This is a wonderful tool to get to know your traveling companions and brainstorming booking shore excursions.

Looks like you'll have to start the roll call or wait for someone else to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
