British Isles Tender ports ?

[gimpytrv]

In June 2013 I will be on the Caribbean Princess's a British Isles cruise I have been told that Guernsey, Orkney, and Edinburgh are all tender ports. Any information on these ports would be helpful, I Will be in a wheelchair but able to walk a bit with two arm caine's.

Re Orkney: we have a new extension to the Hatston pier just being finished & the CP is going to berth alongside. The pier is a little way out of town but there is a shuttle bus service.

 

If you want a taxi or a tour you will need to book in advance - have a look at the tourist board website http://www.visitorkney.com/around/index.asp

 

There also info on the Orkney Disabilities Forum website http://www.orkneycommunities.co.uk/odf/

Do you know anything about the times for the shuttle buses? When start, how often, wait times for full buses?
