In 2019 after a late spring/early summer Northern Europe cruise on Royal from Southampton we hired a car a did a road trip from Southampton heading north visiting The Cotswolds, Stratford-upon-Avon, Liverpool, The Lakes District, York, and then ditching the car in Leeds to take the train to London for an additional three nights before flying back home. We had my mom and dad with us and it was quite an adventure! My dad lost his wallet, probably somewhere on the ship or Southampton Cruise terminal and we had car trouble in the Lakes District where we drove over a small boulder and wreaked the axel (Luckily the car was drivable to the nearest car rental office, albeit with the steering wheel at a 25 degree angle, and they had a substitute replacement car for us!). The Lakes District was the most memorable part of the trip.
