I Took a British Isles Cruise and It Surprised Me

Editorial Summary

The creator shares her experience taking a British Isles cruise with Princess Cruises, a trip she initially doubted would be worth her time. Having previously preferred far-off destinations like the Caribbean or Asia, she admits to having preconceived notions that a cruise around the United Kingdom would be grey, rainy, and filled with elderly passengers. However, she concludes that the journey allowed her to appreciate her home country and visit many locations she had never explored before. She details her preparation, specifically the need to pack layers like jumpers and coats rather than typical tropical cruise attire. Throughout the voyage, she visits several ports including Dublin, Belfast, and Glasgow, and explores sites such as the Giant's Causeway and Loch Ness. She highlights the benefits of organized excursions and the comfort of the Royal Princess ship, particularly the high quality of the beds and the buffet. Ultimately, she expresses surprise at the diverse international demographic on board and recommends the experience for those looking to discover local history and scenery.
