tartanexile81 Posted May 6, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I know we cannot predict the weather but I am wondering if anyone knows if Princess has had to skip this port? Not as far as I can remember. Because the estuary is sheltered to some extend the tenders can usually run, although I've had some rocky runs out to the ship. I was once going out to a HAL ship and the ship kept moving so I was on the tender for an hour circling till it was stable enough :D I'm sailing down on CP on Tuesday from Invergordon so if she can't stop at Queensferry I'll be on till Le Havre!

5HappyCampers Posted May 6, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Thanks for the reply! I am prepurchasing the castle tickets online and didn't want to be out of 51 Sterling if we didn't dock😉 We are sailing on the CP right after you, we are departing on the 13th. Hope your weather has been good, Happy sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanexile81 Posted May 6, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I know that another volunteer will be on CP from Invergordon on your cruise doing a presentation about Edinburgh. Be kind to her - it's her first time on board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tartanexile81 Posted May 7, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 7, 2017 No, only Princess took up the offer. However there will be volunteers at the port when you arrive.They will be armed with free leaflets and good advice :) This is our website -www.cruiseforth.com The bad news is that one year Celebrity couldn't operate their tender till late in the day at your port, Newhaven. However they did get off in time for the Tattoo and enjoyed the next day as they had an overnighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted May 7, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I've never heard of Princess missing it, but things can happen. Make sure you go to the bathroom before you get on the tenders. One got stuck on a sandbar when we were there. They tried pushing it, pulling it and finally gave up after an hour and a half. They had to wait until the tide rose again and then it was free. All I could think of was those poor passengers stuck on the boat who had to go to the bathroom and who were missing their tours. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
