- We kick off our European cruise tour with Portland, UK. In our brief time there, we made some cool and surprising discoveries. Check it out!
Here at the Port Lowdown, we aim to create informative and entertaining videos about cruise port docks and ports-of-call for independent-minded travelers on a budget, who are looking for things “outside the usual”.

Greetings from Weymouth and thank you for such a positive review of our town. We would love to welcome you back any time.
And I would love to come back! Soon, hopefully. Thanks so much!
Excellent, concise and informative video. I am pleased that you enjoyed our town and the people. It always helps when the sun shines too. You are well anytime. Regards, Mike
Thanks so much! We hope to come back for more excursions. It's also just a great place to hang out. The weather was just right that day, just a bit warm and humid.
Wonderful!!!
Thanks for showing my home town in a good light.❤
You're quite welcome. We really want to come back and explore more. Any suggestions for a second trip here?
Great VLOG! We really appreciate the information! My wife and I will be sailing here on the Sun Princess Transatlantic for our 25th anniversary in September. We cannot wait!
Whoa! That sounds like a blast! Congratulations on your anniversary! The UK cruise was so much fun, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. The people there are so friendly.
Thank you!
Headed on Caribbean princess in July, great information to know like you have to take a bus out of the port. Good useful information thank you
Glad to help sir! Have a great trip!
Fantastic! We are headed to do this cruise next month and you gave us just what we need to know. Well done.
Thanks so much, we're glad to help! Let us know how your trip went. Cheers!
@@ThePortLowdown will do.
I live just along the coast a bit from portland around 30 min drive. Glad you loved our beauty. I live in small village over looking the sea on jerrassic coast. Lots of Americans left from Weymouth and portland on D Day. The port you came into used too be a large Navy base. Some more history the torpedo was invented and built in Portland. Also one of the port entrances. They sunk HMS Hood between the gap to stop u boats in first world war and ww2 from getting to the navy ships. Not the same HMS Hood that was sunk by the Bismark but the one b4 that. That HMS Hood still lays there today. Also very early into the Battle of Britain Herman Gorings son was shot down and killed on Portland. Lots of history and lots more I've not said ie most the famous buildings in London are made out Porland stone and its still mined today.
I certainly want to come back and spend more time on Portland Island. I've heard of the quarries and Portland Bill, which are on my return list. What would you recommend? Is the beach worth a visit?
Great video!! We are going next year, you just save us excursion fee!
p.s. Pasties look delicious!
They were quite tasty and big! Big enough for a meal.
Its not a Casino its just Arcades, that's it all ages are allowed in there, but there are 18+ areas with slot machines that give out more than £50.
Up to £800 for some. Why say Portland, UK in the title, when for 98% of the time you only show Weymouth.
Thanks for the correction! In America a slot machine = casino. So that was a new one for us. As far as Portland, that's the port we dock at and is indicated in the schedules. The shuttle bus, which drops off at Portland Castle (where we visited the Castletown D Day Center) and Weymouth only, is the easiest option for most cruisers.
@@ThePortLowdown Ok. Thanks for the reply. Guess a channel named ThePortLowdown means you only show where you docked at the start of your visit.
