We have the following questions for our cruise with grandson in May/June: 1. Guernsey Island - is St. Peter port accessible by foot once off the tender? 2. At Cork, how far are the towns Kinsale or Youghal from Cobh where our ship docks? Is public transportation available from Cobh to these villages from where the boat docks? 3. Dublin - is there public transportation available from docking site to center city? 4. Edinburg - is there public transportation available from docking site to the Golden Mile area?
5. LaHavre - Is there public transportation close to docking site to either rent a car or get to Normandy beaches? Thanks, Dorsey

Dorsey,
You should check out www.cruisecritic.com (message boards-Ports of call section). They are searchable and you will be able to find all the information you need. Sometimes if there isn't public transportation the ship will provide a shuttle - usually for a fee.

Yes, you can take a bus from Ocean Terminal in Leith to the Royal Mile via Lothian buses. I think it is 35. Pam

Thanks for the cruisecritic info, however, I was unable to location the message board that addressed the above questions. Dorsey

Dorsey, You have to sign up to access the community message boards. You should be able to find discussions about the specific cruise line, ship, and ports outside of the message boards. If you sign onto a roll call for your specific cruise, you will be engaging with people who are planning to take the same cruise. They usually plan a little get-together during an at-sea day for the cruisecritic members onboard.

Dorsey,, the cruisecritic forums are really good ( of course this forum is good too, but really for a cruise there is nothing you can't find out from someone on those boards who has been there and done that.
