We really liked the room.   Forward, Port, far enough from the elevator so we didn't hear any noise, but close enough that it was easy to move around the ship.

We took the tour with International Friends, which provided a transfer from London to the Southampton cruise terminal, with a stop at Stonehenge along the way.  

The host / guide gave an excellent commentary as we drove from London to Stonehenge.   We had plenty of time at Stonehenge.  The process of unloading luggage and being dropped off at the terminal went smoothly.

Gill provided an excellent 2-hour walking tour of St. Peter Port, the history of the island, the German occupation during World War II, etc.   An excellent tour at a very reasonable rate.

We took the Paddywagon Tour of Blarney Castle and Kinsale, and it was better than I expected it to be.  Our driver provided an excellent monologue as he drove along, and we found the Castle and Kinsale to be excellent destinations.

Cobh (Cork)

Outstanding half-day tour of the city with Cathal Sheahan of Dublin Tour Guides.

After visiting the Titanic Museum we took the Hop On / Hop Off bus, and it was also excellent.

The Titanic Museum is architecturally gorgeous, and the museum itself is excellent and engaging.   We really enjoyed our time there.

We booked with Kinlay Francis of Orkney Uncovered, and Kinlay provided an outstanding day-long tour.   Highly recommended.

Kirkwall

Our guide for the day was Charlie Cumming of www.taxitour.scot, working for Invergordon Tours and Gavin Nicholson.   Charlie provided an outstanding tour of the Invergordon area.

We missed Edinburgh due to high winds and the ship not being able to hold position for tendering.   Very disappointing.

Edinburgh (South Queensferry)

Alex provided two outstanding tours:  a historical tour in the morning, and a tour of the castle and cathedral in the afternoon.   Both were excellent.

I thought Norwegian did a very good job of getting us onboard with minimum fuss and hassle.Specialty dining in Cagney's and Le Bistro was very good, as usual, and we had several good meals at the Sushi bar and main Jasmine dining area.
