Subject: Ready or not I'm headed to England!

I will be traveling to England this summer with a two day stay in London (June 11 & 12) and then a 10 day British Isle Cruise on Celebrity Infinity (June 13-23). The cruise includes stops at Le Harve (Paris), St Peter Port, Guernsey; Cork, Ireland; Dunmore East, Ireland; Dublin, Ireland; Liverpool, England; Greenock, Scotland; and Holyhead, Wales.
I am looking for dos and don'ts while in London. Places to go and places to avoid. I am traveling with my sister and will be part of a group (130 people) for the cruise however while in London we are on our own.
This will be my first cruise and my first trip outside the USA, if you don't count Tijuana or Vancouver. I must admit when my sister first suggested a sister vacation I was not all that excited, traveling overseas and going on a cruise were not on my to do list. However the closer the date, the more excited I'm getting. Any advise will be greatly appreciated. I have included my email if your advise is too lengthy for the message board.

Thanks in advance for the travel advise and I'll keep you all posted, or at least ask more questions, I still have 4 more months before I go!

[> I'll tell judi about your post usm. She and her sister took a similar trip in May/June, many of the same place, and ending in London for a few days. She had a wonderful time. (I saw the pics and was quite jealous!) I'm sure she'd not mind sharing info.. -- Cece, 23:41:32 02/01/14 Sat [1]

[> Great time to be in London, weather-wise, but it'll be packed with tourists. Having said that, it's always busy with tourists. I will email you some of my tips -- I'm not an expert on London, but after living here for almost 8 years, I can tell you some of the places I've been to that have been amazing and what not to bother with :) -- mj, 06:06:11 02/03/14 Mon [1]

[> what I did a thousand years ago when I was in london for a day - I took the red double decker tour of the city- they drive past everywhere and for a tip the driver will tell you about each spot- then- pick the ones that interest you most and go back and linger -- chris k, 07:24:20 02/03/14 Mon [1]

[> [> and I mean the tour bus that gives you a map - not the regular transportation buses (they're all red double deckers- lol) And if memory serves me correctly - I caught it at picadilly. -- chris k, 07:25:50 02/03/14 Mon [1]
