September 12, 2019 – Day 11 – Dublin, Ireland


We arrived on time and contrary to the ship’s information taxis were waiting at the ship and we were not required to take a shuttle to the taxi stand. We shared a taxi with another couple heading to the center of Dublin. The driver was young  and provided a very informative trip. He was very anti Great British and talked quite a bit about the potatoe famine.  He was still very angry that GB did not provide any food to Ireland. He was happy that GB was having issues with Brexit. He was very hostile to GB but gave us a wonderful introduction to Dublin. The other couple tried to use a credit card but were informed only Euros were accepted. They didn’t have any foreign  currency for any country and stated they have used credit cards for the entire trip. So we paid the 20 euros and they gave us $10. 

 We went to the Temple Bar district and downed a pint at the famious Temple Bar. 

 The visit to St. Patrick’s cathedral was very interesting.  All in all it was a lovely day spent in Dublin.

Delta provided the screen to watch movie while United required using your own smartphone or computer plus they required you to download the app prior to boarding the aircraft or purchase Wi-Fi to download   the   app. Paris was great although rather expensive but worth the cost. The food   selection and quality onboard Regal Princess disappointing. Our cabin stewart was ourstanding as well as our dinner waitress. Flying anywhere is a hassle.
