We have just returned from our third cruise with Princess Cruises and our first around the British Isles. An American lady asked me on a Facebook forum before we left, "Why are you cruising around Britain, you live there?!" Here are three reasons!
 |
| The Royal Princess from a tender boat, anchored off St Peter Port in Guernsey |
First, for us, the ship is half the holiday. We love the luxury of cruising, the activities available on board, the all-inclusive food, the excellent service, and the fun of waking up somewhere new each day.
 |
| Amazing shrimp main course, so tasty! |
 |
| The sparkly Piazza on Royal Princess |
Second, we booked this cruise in April and it was several thousand pounds cheaper than any other all-inclusive holiday elsewhere in Europe or the UK.
 |
| It might be Britain but we can still visit the pool! (No one can tell me my family are not posers) |
 |
| It can also be a bit chilly! (Says me wearing shorts) |
Finally, the itinerary was very appealing for us. We live in England, and this particular cruise did not go to any English ports (with the exception of Southampton for embarkation and disembarkation). We have never been to Ireland, and our children have never been to Scotland, so it was an ideal opportunity to travel to these places.

| The Big Fish in Belfast, Northern Ireland |
 |
| Invergordon Museum in Scotland |
We will be posting blogs about each port over the next few weeks, and our impressions of Royal Princess.
Nice, cant wait to see more. Where exactly in belfast was the big fish. I want to do the British Isles. Even though I have seen lots of it, I still yearn to go again and again. Never been to the Channel Islands. Maybe one day soon Thanks for this.

Hello! The Big Fish is next to the River Lagan, just near the Lagan Weir Footbridge. From there you can walk to the Titanic Quarter, or into the city shopping centre.
