Disembarkation at Belfast port

1st timer on Princess booked the cruise in August would like to know rough time we would be off ship, in dock 7am. We would be independents ie not booked on a Princess excursion. Looking to book timed tickets to  the Titanic museum.

I can't remember exactly what time we got off the ship in Belfast, but we took a taxi to Titanic Belfast. We actually got there about 20-30 minutes before it opened.  We were one of the first ones in. It was great because we were finished before any of the tours showed up.

We purchased tickets on line for maybe around 10am or so entry. We easily had enough time to get there. The museum is maybe a few hundred yards across the channel. You really can't walk. To get there the taxi has to go across a major highway overpass where walkers probably are not permitted. We grabbed a taxi that was sitting at the pier and were there in just around 10 minutes. We arrived shortly after the museum opened and were allowed to proceed into the display areas immediately even though our ticket time was for a little later. You will have no problem with time if the ship docks at 7am. Most days the museum opens at 9am. After visiting the museum we walked down to the City Hall area. This took maybe 30 minutes. We looked around there for a while. When we visited there was a shuttle from the City Hall area to the Princess ship. We took the shuttle back to the ship.

Actually, you can walk and we did it.  Here are the directions.  (We pre-purchased tickets for 9 am and had no problem.  Good luck !
