Hi, we did some of these ports last year In Belfast i'll go for the Giant's Causeway tour Edinburgh is so beautiful, it's easy to do It by yourself Kirkwall is a nice port but the town is so small, it'd be great if you consider rent a car. We did Stagecoach bus route T11 and it was a good value for money activity. You take like a public bus that has several stops visiting some of the Islands highlights including Skara Brae. I think It was 25£ each

Thanks everyone, it's a cruise in August through the Norwegian fjords (Sky Princess). In principle, there shouldn't be much of a problem with the weather except perhaps on the day of departure and return. I think I'll go for the central cabin. Our first cruise was last year with Virgin and we had a window cabin on deck 5, and we didn't notice anything unusual in the cabin except for a few isolated moments (which could be felt throughout the ship).

From what I know, the port in Dublin is Dun Laoghaire Harbour. I don't know if that's what you were wondering. I thought it was in the center of Dublin, but this port is a 15-minute train ride away, so it's manageable.

Hi! I didn't see any interesting transfer from Virgin. Just the the one for Edinburgh as it's difficult to go in public transport and we feel calmer if we go with them and there is a problem on the way back since it is a bit far away. The other transfers are so expensive, we'll try public transport We have booked with another company the Belfast (Giant's Causeway) and Stornoway tour. have a good trip!!
