We just returned from a great vacation experience.....cruising the British Isles!! We started with a two-night introduction to the attractions of London....even a London theater experience with The Lion King and Jersey Boys. And if you've never been to Harrods in London, it is an amazing shopping extravaganza. Just watching people in that place is great entertainment!!
Princess Cruise Line took us to a very important and interesting island during WWII, Guernsey, then to the Ireland stops of Cork, Dublin, and Belfast. We journeyed on to Scotland, visiting Glasgow, the Orkney Islands, Invergordon, and Edinburgh where we enjoyed a tour of the Glamis Castle and a walk around the legendary St. Andrews golf course, where the game originated. Because of a union strike at the port of LaHarve, we missed that stop, but Princess substituted a stop at Brugge, Belgium. It is known as the “Venice of Belgium” because of the canals in and out of the city. Passengers could also take an excursion over to Brussels too, so all was not lost, and it turned out to be a very interesting port substitute.
