  1. Pre Cruise London Eye / Big Ben / Westminster Abbey People every where after all it is a national holiday …
  2. Pre Cruise Central London Wellington Arch / walking towards Westminster Abbey/ Big Ben / London Eye … car today is out of the question !
  3. Pre Cruise Queen’s Platinum Jubilee… people every where… those with tickets to view the parade and those without tickets to view the parade are all over the place… most of the access to Buckingham Palace and around it were blocked off… making it difficult to get around…
  4. Pre Cruise I got off at Garden Park stop for Buckingham Palace … WOW … the place / the city / the area was packed with people for the queen’s platinum jubilee
  5. If I did not have a large suitcase then I would have definitely considered other options but with the suitcase I was looking for an easy way to get to the hotel then back to the airport tomorrow for my transfer to SouthHampton.
  6. Yeah the cut back definitely hurt but I booked this before that so I got 3 specialty dinning for an inside cabin.
  7. Pre Cruise Hilton Garden Inn King Room … nice clean and modern! Make sure you pack a converter kit if you need to use electronics from the US that does not use USB.
  8. Pre Cruise… It is a walk from terminal 3 to terminal 2 with luggage to check in to the Hilton Garden Inn but I have to say it is very convenient and all underground. When you arrive at Terminal 2 take the lift to level 1 and walk across towards the Hilton Garden Inn sign and you are there!
  9. Thanks so much! Please add your input if you would like to the ports I will be visiting be happy to learn from the local! I am only here for today (Thursday) for the weekend festivities so will miss most of it any way!
  10. Pre Cruise Touched down around 7:15AM and out at baggage claim around 7:40AM. There was a line at border control that moved very quickly via automated system!
  11. Pre Cruise Goodie bag from Delta … my plan is to eat, have a sip of wine then sleep 💤 and ignore the 319 movies.
  12. Pre Cruise… Delta to LHR … I got a great deal on a Premium Select Seat (before the oil crisis) so I can rest before I see the Queen 😂
  13. Thank you so much!! You will be able to learn from my mistakes lol 😂 through this virtual cruise and make your cruise even better!!! Feel free to ask questions … this is my first time on the Dawn!
  14. Pre Cruise My fellow English pals warned me about the chaos at the airports and with budget airlines right now so originally I had planned to fly into Paris first then into LHR but to be safe I opted for LHR directly and skip the sight seeing in Paris…also plan ahead and get to the airport early. I don’t even want to think about AMS right now!
  15. Pre Cruise This is not the cruise that I can gamble to arrive on the day of departure … it is the kind of cruise that you need to arrive a day before … so Delta here I come!
