Does anyone know how long the tour of the Guinness Storehouse takes? We have 11am tickets. Do I need to book lunch? Trying to figure out what time.

Awesome!!! That's great. We are in port until 11pm so we would like to return and go out in the evening!!!

Can anyone tell me if Viking provides a shuttle from Dun Laoghaire to Dublin.

How is the transportation from the port into Dublin?

Are taxis easily available at the port?

Sooooo what's included is one red, one white and one beer choice?

Thanks. If I understand correctly the wines on the list are included in the Silver Spirits Package but will otherwise cost what is listed. Are the wines that are "included" with lunch and dinner not listed anywhere? Are there additional wines available above and beyond the SSP?

Several years ago my debit card was compromised. NBD my bank took care of me but since then I only want to use an ATM inside a bank and sometimes one time had difficulty. (I think it was a Sunday) I need to be sure to plan ahead.

And I assume that the best wine is by the bottle not by the glass 🤔 and as on every other cruise line they will save the bottle from one meal to another.

Is Apple Pay widely used in Britain?

Thank you so much. We booked it for May. Sounds exactly like I was hoping.

Thank you. That was my question on another thread. I understand that we can cancel with some number of hours notice. There is some question about that number. It is a ship excursion that I was asking about. If they cancel the port they will refund I assume.

👍🏻 Thank you.

The one with the dogs? Or the included one?

Thank you. The tour says 4 hours total. So was most of the time spent seeing the countryside?

Has anyone taken the Rural Shetland excursion? How large a group was there? How long was the bus ride? Did you enjoy it? TIA

It’s later in a 14 day cruise. Mostly I’m trying to avoid long periods on a big bus. I have several very small group/ individual things planned. I like your advice. I’ll post the specifics. Thanks.

Thank you. That’s fine too. I just can’t get some details about some of the excursions before being on board.

Wonderful. Thanks so much!

If you sign up for an excursion pre-cruise is there any possibility of canceling once you get more information onboard?

Wow. Entertaining at least 🤣

Bingo. We travel to experience the local culture and food. Now I like to have decent food and having been in the business my whole life, I know good food but I don’t think there is a cruise line out there that is capable of serving 5 star food. There are just too many people. That said I’ve been on Holland America, Celebrity, Regent, NCL, Disney, Royal Caribbean, Tauck and Windstar. There have been good meals and some so so meals but we certainly were never hungry. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Are there any upscale cruises on the Thames for lunch or are they all pretty cheesy?

We return to Gatwick from Bergen on May 23rd after a 15 day cruise. We will have spent a few days pre cruise in London but since we don’t leave until early evening on the 24th out of Heathrow I am wondering if we should book that one night in the city or stay out by the airport and just taxi in for the morning/afternoon. Any advise? Thanks.

Thank you.
