The first of our four sea days in a row. It was a warm day, 20 Celsius (68F), but a bit rocky in the morning. As the cruise went on the ocean became smoother. Sea days are one of the reasons we love transatlantic cruises. There are usually 5 or 6 of them. We get […]
Of all the ports the Disney Magic westbound transatlantic cruise was stopping at Cobh is the one I was most excited about. There are lots of options for excursions from Cobh and many you can do on your own. We wanted to do the Titanic Experience and found a company that offers the Titanic Trail […]
The first port of call is Portland UK. We were unsure of what to do here. The marquee shore excursion is Stonehenge. The time onshore was short and Stonehenge is far from the port and the safest way to visit is through DCL cruise excursions. I didn’t see any glowing reviews; many people complain that […]
Picking up from where I left off on the last post. We waited only a few minutes before our boarding number was called and we were ready to let the Magic begin. I thought that the Port of Dover did a good job of getting people on the ship. The waiting area was large with […]
Our last day in London started with a visit to Borough market for croissants for breakfast. The plans include a Walk on Walk off Tour of the art at the National Gallery and tea with some friends at the gallery. We had a bit of a late start. The tour didn’t start until the afternoon […]

With just two days remaining in London before the cruise, we wanted to make the most of our time; we wanted to visit the Victoria […]
This post will be shorter than the others. Also, I don’t have as many pictures from this day because there is no photography permitted in Westminster Abbey. We had a bit of a late start this day. You may notice a trend—travelling with kids and teens requires some flexibility and more downtime. If I remember […]
The Borough Market was very near our hotel so we ate there a few times. If you are in London I recommend visiting the Borough Market for lunch. Borough Market Hours The Borough Market is open 10:00 am until 5:00 pm Monday until Thursday. On Fridays it is open 10:00 am until 6:00 pm and […]
After our nap and showers we were ready to see London. The best way to acclimate to the new time zone is the get out and go for a walk. So that is what we did and walked along the Southbank of the Thames Dinner First stop The Borough Market to get some food. Be […]
