Thank you. I’m unable to find the Roll Call you mention.  I saw one thread that had 2 comments. Any chance you could provide a link?  Thanks

Taking Oceania Sirena to British Isles April, 2024.  Ports of call are:  Edinburgh, Kirkwall, Stornoway, Glasgow and Holyhead Scotland.  Then Belfast,Dublin, Cork Ireland,  Finally Plymouth.  I'm concerned about shore excursions and the best use of time in each port.  Any and all suggestions and opinions will be greatly appreciated.  If you have taken a shore excursion to any of these ports, that too would be very helpful.

I'm on Oceania and I don't see any reviews.  I'm leaning toward going on my own in certain ports but also see the value in an organized tour.  It's a conundrum!

My wife wants to know the name of "That Shopping Street" please!

No need for tours at all in either of those two cities.  We took the bus into Dublin.  2euros each and the train back.   Walked the entire city.  Did not do the Book of Kells. Not interested.  But we did go to Trinity College, the churches. the Liffey Bridge, the shopping street (name escapes me), saw everything worth seeing and then back to the ship.  A great day.  It was August.  A tiny bit of rain in the morning.  So be prepared with rain gear no matter the month. Edinburgh, we took the train.  Again very cheap.  What a fabulous city.  So much history, architecture.  Holyroode and the Edinburgh Castle.  We hustled back early as the day we were there, a giant protest erupted on the Royal Mile.  

Is there a website or other venue where various shore excursions are discussed and reviewed?
