    The safety comment meant a lot to me. I am also a 42 year retired cop and believe that touring a city without watching your back all the time makes it that more enjoyable.

      Perhaps we will see you on that cruise. My wife, I and her sister will be cruising from America to Southampton and continuing on the 10-day leg, before spending a week or so in Lee-on-the-Solent (near Southampton). I assume the cruise you are referring to is between April 18 and 28.

    Just in case anyone else is planning a similar journey, car is not the easiest way of travelling from Gatwick to Central London. By far the quickest is the train. It is also much cheaper. Trains are used by rich and poor in the UK without the safety fears there are in some countries.

    I have not British, but I’ve been to London five or six times. London is at least a one week adventure. Some of the areas of key interests include but certainly not limited to Camden town, Soho, the theater district, the war room underneath the parliament area, where Churchill did all of his planning and lived, the parliament building, and goes on and on and on. In addition when I retired, I spent a month in England, bought a Brit rail pass and did many many day trips from London to fantastic places like Canterbury, Winchester, bath, Salisbury, and the list goes on and on. Please don’t make the mistake of thinking you can see all of London in two or three days, that’s just not the case.

    Did you buy tickets before teavel? If so who did you buy from? We are going on a B2B Cruise on Norwegian in June 2024. We are flying into London for 3 days prior to Cruise. Loved all your information on this video. Can't wait for day 2 !!!! Happy Sailing

      Very informative video. My sister and I are going on a British Isles cruise in June and we are trying to figure out all the ins and outs. Do you have any suggestions on a service to take us from London to Dover? We would really like to not do the train or go back to airport and do the cruise line transfer.

    • @ftbeat
      @ftbeat  Год назад

      Thank you and I am glad you enjoyed it. If you are using Princess, they offered transfers to and from Victoria Coach station which is what we used. More info on that to come.

    • @ftbeat
      @ftbeat  5 месяцев назад +1

      We tried to sleep on the plane a bit. Hit the ground running and stayed awake as late as we could even though we were exhausted. Slept great that night and fresh for the next day. Same strategy I used when with the NYPD working overnight tours.

      It was September. We felt very safe. I’m retired from the NYPD. I felt way safer in London than in New York recently. I have a couple more videos to add as well with our post cruise stay.
