Itinerary Update for British Isles Cruise

ITINERARY UPDATE:

We are now docking in Dublin, rather than anchoring in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland (where tenders would have been required).  This is great news!  Large cruise ships typically dock at Alexandra Quay, an industrial area. The port is about two miles from the city center. While it is possible to walk along the River Liffey to the city center from the North Wall Quay Extension, the traffic on the roads around Alexandra Quay can be quite heavy, making it very dangerous to walk. However, the port authorities usually offer (for a fee) a shuttle bus into the city center (Kildare Street), in the heart of the city and next to Trinity College.  HOHO (hop-on hop-off) buses are close by.
