The Chandlers

Thank you! 🙂

I have browsed through this thread and the information is awesome! Thank you to everyone who has contributed. We will be arriving in Copenhagen in June for 2 nights before our cruise. There will be 5 of us - 4 adults and a 7.5 year old. Aside from Tivoli, is there anything anyone would absolutely recommend for kids this age? Also, what is the best way to get from the airport to the hotel and then to the ship? We will be at The Square Hotel and then sailing on the Norwegian Dawn. Thanks for all your help!

Awesome! I will look into this.

Are the castles worth seeing with kids? If so, any your recommend specifically?

We will be staying in London for 2 nights after our cruise. I've been reading about transportation options. We are not interested in doing the ship's transfer so we are looking at either a car service or the train. We will be traveling with my husband's parents and our 7 year old son. Would love to hear the pros and cons of both options so we can make the best decision for our family. Thanks so much!

We will be staying in London for 2 nights after our cruise and will be doing the same route, just backwards. Hoping it is fairly easy.

Thank you all for the awesome recommendations!

We are doing a British Isles with NCL in July. We will traveling with 2 other families for a total of 6 adults and 5 ages, ages 4-10. I can update how things go after.

@John Bull,thank you for your reply. I did, in fact, search each port separately in this forum. I am specifically hoping to hear from families that have done these ports with children. I really didn't find much of those type of posts.

We will be sailing on the NCL Dawn in July with 2 other families. We will have 5 kids between us, ages 4-10. We depart from Copenhagen and end in Southampton, with ports of call including Edinburgh, Inverness, Kirkwall, Stornoway, Dublin, Belfast, Falmouth, and Portland. I would love to hear from anyone who did any of these ports with kids. What did they love? Was there anything you did that was super special? Anything you would avoid? Thanks!

We did Alaska with my son when he was 3.5 and it was amazing. If you can afford to do Disney, I would HIGHLY recommend it. It was perfection in every single way. My son is 7 now and he still talks about all the adventures we had.

Thank you!

We will be traveling from Southampton to St. Ermin's on July 12th for a 2 night stay before flying out of Heathrow. I've read through the thread some but wanted to confirm what I am looking for in terms of train stations. It looks like I should be searching Southampton Central (SOU) to Waterloo East (WAE), is that correct? What is the best company for car service to Heathrow? Thanks!
