Ireland & Scotland Cruise

The ultimate pre trip stretcher sounds great but is too expensive for our budget.  We'll probably fly into Dublin on Saturday and do a "roll your own" pre-cruise stay. From some Internet surfing, it looks easy enough to do at about a third the cost for a couple.  We're still thinking about the post cruise stretcher.

Hi Kathy- I agree the extensions are very expensive, but they pack a lot of highlights that I want to see and I've never been to that part of the world. I have friends going on the cruise who are going to do their own extensions, but they've all been there before, so what they want to do and what I want to do is not necessarily the same. I am going to do both the London pre and the Edinburgh post, and for a while was considering sharing with another solo. But after looking at the price differentials for booking solo vs with a roomate I decided I wanted to book as a solo.

Hi

Have you made any plans for London??  Would love to do this stretcher, but the expensive pretty high for this part.

Thanks 

Kathy

have you made plans for London-- I admit that it is too expensive with Olivia--- but still want to take in some sites in London, plus Stonehenge

Kathy

I am thinking about the London pre--- is anyone else-- I am going solo

Personally I am finding for a solo at the pre and post stretchers are a bit too expensive.  I think I am going to try and plan something myself and possibly be in the same hotel (or close) to where the pre stretcher is in Dublin and possibly to some things that I know I want to see in Ireland. 

 Also since I am traveling from the West Coast I am going to be completely mixed up when it comes to time zones and such and not sure if I am going to be up to a lot of tours and such. 

I just hate paying for stuff that I might not be up to doing with the long travel.

I was thinking about the 2 day Dublin but was also looking to see if it was cheaper to just find a place on my own. It is all about the expense. If there are more singles doing this one though it might be super fun.  

wait to see

So although I would LOVE to do the England/Ireland pre trip honestly with the cost I really can't swing it. 

 I am hoping I can do the 2 day Ireland pre.

 I leaving for Puerto Vallarta next week and doing Punta Cana 1st week in May 2013 along with the Ireland cruise

  

In fact, I'd like to do both the London/Dublin pre and the Edinburgh post, so if there are any solos out there looking for another solo to share with, please let me know.

Thanks

Doreen- I want to do that extension too, and I'm looking for another solo to possibly share with. Let me know if you are interested and if so let's talk.

Thanks

We will be doing the Dublin 3 day and 2 day Edinburgh. We wanted to also go to London but had some pre-exisiting plans t hat could not be moed. Bummer!

I am also very interested in the London/Dublin as well.  Hopefully I can find another solo that might be interested since the price is "Double Occupancy" and not sure what the cost of 'Single Occupancy" would be.  Courtney at Olivia said that price would come out next week hopefully.

Wow!   The extensions are vacations in themselves.  We finally decided on the Ultimate Experience in London & Dublin.  We've never been to England and really want to do Stonehenge, and of course, want to see as much as possible in Dublin.  I think we are going to pass on the Scotland extension because we are going to travel on our own to Spain when the cruise is over. 

What about everyone else?
