Ireland Tour

We recently finished the Gate 1 tour of Ireland. It advertises as 10 days, but it is not actually 10 days, and I'd like to be sure that people who are considering the tour understand that. Day 1 is for leaving to arrive in Ireland. Day 2 is for arriving in Ireland. Day 10 is for leaving Ireland to go home. That effectively leaves 7 days for a tour. I wrote to Gate 1 because the tour actually was only 6 days. On Day 9 there was no longer a tour bus driver. Gate 1 sent him home. Instead, they hired a local driver to take people on an "optional tour" to the Irish EPIC museum, which was actually within a reasonable walking distance of our hotel. If you didn't pay to go to this museum, you were finished with the tour on Day 8 and left to pay for your own transportation and planned excursion on Day 9. I told Gate 1 that they could have taken the entire group to a place like the National Botanic Gardens on Day 9 (our last day) instead of the museum. It was quite expansive and lovely, and it's free to enter. We had to pay for the transportation to get there. Ireland was enjoyable to visit, but Gate 1 needs to advertise its tours properly. "The tour actually lasts for 6 days unless you go on an optional tour on your last day in Ireland."

Sky Princess

We recently got back from a Princess cruise in Scandinavia and the Baltics. It was a great cruise and we totally enjoyed our trip aboard the Sky Princess. The staff members were outstanding in appearance, work ethic, and friendliness. They genuinely seemed to enjoy their jobs.The food in the dining room was great, with appropriately sized portions. We sat at the same table in the dining room every night and the waiters knew exactly what we usually liked with our food and service. This was actually our first time in staying in an inside room after years of sailing in balcony rooms. Our room had a lot of storage space with open closet for suitcases, a cabinet with shelves, and drawers near the bed and TV area. Embarkation and disembarkation were very smoothly completed. Entertainment was very good, but the music, as with any cruise ship, was way too loud. We left at the beginning of some performances because of the volume. I had to get my medallion fixed twice during the two-week cruise because it wouldn't open our cabin door. But our overall experience was great!
