I am 68 years old. For the entire time I have lived about 15 miles from Belfast. I would avoid going there as much as possible and when I see the cruise ships sailing up Belfast Lough, I always wonder just what it is they find so fascinating about the place. So now I know. So a massive thank you to yourselves. This really has been highly educational for me.
If you’re ever in Halifax Nova Scotia, we have a small exhibit ( Museum of the Atlantic) of the Titanic and the part we played in the rescue and recovery. Also there is a Titanic tour which includes the graveyard .
We went to the Cork Ireland titanic museum a few years back and it was sooo cool. I am hopeful I will someday see the Belfast one. Thanks for taking us along.
Your British Isle Series is so very timely for me. Going on one next summer and you give me confidence that I can plan our port days on my own instead of going with an excursion through the ship. That’s so much!
Doing a TA with Royal to Southampton. Anyway, obviously have added a few days onto the trip to fly up to Belfast. How can you not go there! Cruising really never does get old does it! Wonderful 💕
Ahhhhh The Crown Bar, as I was watching this video, I was saying are they gonna go to the Crown?.......yes. I went to Belfast for the day on a day trip from Dublin, I had to go to the Titanic museum too, But they didn't have that ride there, that you went on.
Lovely to see you in Belfast and get a reaction from the guys on the cruise ships which i see from the shoreline twice to three times a week in the season.I really enjoyed your video and you two have great personalitys and i hope you had ball in our wee town.bye the way are you Canadians?
We were in Belfast in September. The little booths at the Crown bar are called snugs and our group managed to get one. Got very lucky. Also the best thing we did there was the Black Cab tour. Highly recommend going on one. It really helped to understand the history of “the troubles”
It’s funny you mentioned it, 1911. It seems anything that flies or floats etc…with those numbers associated to them, end up badly. Not always but in history there’s been a lot of plane crashes with the number 9 and 1. I saw a documentary on it once.
So glad you loved Belfast - one of my favourite cities too. My husband used to live in NI so he knows it much better than I do, but I'm learning! A pint of Belfast Black in McHugh's is one of my favourite things, but there are so many great pubs in Belfast it's hard to have just one favourite.
Hello from Ireland, Loved your Belfast stop over, really hope you got to visit the Titantic Hotel, beside the museum, this building is the original offices of Harland & Wolff, the offices are restored to there 1900's decor & the bar was the drawing office where Titanic was designed, also great for food. Hope went you stopped in Cobh (pronounced Cove) you visited Titantic museum there, I think its better then Belfast. You really need to do a longer holiday just in ireland
I so have to go back to Belfast. We had to miss the Titanic museum because it was closed for a momentous event when we were there (2012). We didn't actually see too much of the rest of the city either because we took a bus tour around the top of Northern Ireland. One of the best bus tours I've ever taken. The city itself was much nicer in 2012 than when I first went over in '94. I didn't even think of going into Northern Ireland back then. (Except for the fact I accidentally drove over the border where there wasn't a manned border check. That was wacked!)
Regarding the Crown Bar. Don't feel intimidated about going in if it looks busy. The Crown is unique in that it's owned by the National Trust, who look after historic houses that they open to the public usually. They run this as a pub with a pre 1960s feel to it, which also attracts locals wanting to get the old fashioned feel. It's a great place for a tourist to get into a chat with a local [avoid politics and sport]
Thanks for the video! Brought back wonderful memories as we were in Belfast in early October on the Regal Princess. Not sure if you went to Titanic’s dry dock as it wasn’t in your vlog. We took the 15 minute walk to her actual dry dock and it was such an amazing experience.
According to Emma from the EMMA CRUISES channel (which is a wonderful channel, btw!), La Havre is actually quite a miserable port stop, billed as a “Paris” stop, but in reality an industrial port more than 80 MILES away, with almost Nothing to do in the actual town itself (a lot like Ensenada, actually!)…Cork, according to my daughter, who did a monthlong “class abroad” tour of Ireland in 2019, is Absolutely Delightful so you guys Really Lucked out!😊
The museum sounds amazing. When we were on a NGL ship that stopped at Halifax, NS. We went to Titanic museum the guide took us around showing us items and telling us us about the fatal. Trip. When she was showing us child’s shoe she started crying. It was a very solemn moment. I did not go to the cemetery where many victims were buried including J. Dawson.
I would love to see the Titanic museum! If you haven’t seen it, and you get the chance, go see the touring of all the artifacts, and the story of the sinking of Titanic, it’s amazing! I saw it when it was in Las Vegas ❤️
Hi guy's. Love Ireland, have family there who live in County Cork. Been there a few times and seen most of Ireland. It's so beautiful. I love the tiny fish, always know we were heading in the right direction. Lol Yes, I knew there were red fish going the wrong way. The Titanic museum is a must see. The Crown Bar is always busy. It's the place to be. It's a shame you couldn't get a table so you could eat there. Thanks for taking us along and showing some of my favorite places. ❤❤
Look on starboard. For green fish - Port red starboard green I think Emma mentioned that on her British isles cruise . It is like US have to leave the country.if true got a wavier due to strike.?
Alisa did you take Value Cab to get to the city. Doing a British Isles Cruise in August. Trying to decide if doing Belfast on our own is doable. Your video really helps.
I liked the Pound Stores to get drinks and snacks for a pound, especially Diet Pepsi. (I paid 5 pounds for a can of Diet Pepsi when staying at a London Hilton.) I didn't know it until I got the bill.
My Irish friend has major potty mouth too, but it sounds so cute with her Irish accent! I was looking at this cruise and have almost made up my mind to do it in 2025 for my 70th birthday!
I'm from Northern Ireland and yes the F word aswell as the C and W words all are said in normal sentences 😂 one of my favourite places to eat is about 1 min walk from the crown bar. You really missed to eat out in Belfast the food is really good.
Lovely to see you had a great time in Belfast. I've been saying for years that Saint George's market should be open 7 days a week but i think it's council policy to limit it. WHy? ...Fuk only knows Yep, we swear alot 😎
I saw the museum in 2016 on my trip to Ireland and Scotland. Had seen the Titanic museum in Vegas in 2013. Any man who thought they worked in their life should see the video at the museum. Guessing $.50 cent's a day?
I knew a guy like your cabbie. He was a quasi-cop. A friend road with him one day. He related the story to us. "He's like f this, f that, f'in this, f'in that. I'm sitting there thinking wtf?" 😂
The worst irony about the Titanic disaster was, had the night watch NOT gotten through to the bridge when they did, and the crew began to try to steer clear of the iceberg and, instead, hit the iceberg dead on, the ship would’ve likely been severely damaged, but the watertight compartments wouldn’t have been sliced open, and the ship probably wouldn’t have sunk…most of the dead actually either drowned or froze
those small booths in the pub are called snugs. The Irish women would sit in the snug and have a pint as they could not be seen drinking in public. This cruise itinerary is on my bucklist.
The red fish is a Red Herring. red herring /ˌrɛd ˈhɛrɪŋ/ a clue or piece of information that is, or is intended to be, misleading or distracting. I have no idea if that's true but that would be my take :)

I'm from Carrick and had the same issues..but we both lived through Troubles. For it was limiting risk
The rogue fish, I believe, is the rebellious fish. Which is also the name of a drink on NCL!
I once went to a lecture on how they held old ships together. It was riveting. I'll get my coat!

Cool to see you in Belfast! Would love to go to the Titanic Museum xx
The rebellious fish! Also a very tasty drink that NCL offers on several of their bar menus ☺️
I’ve been watching you lovely lot for years and so excited to see you in my hometown, so glad you loved my wee Belfast ❤
Doing a TA with Royal to Southampton. Anyway, obviously have added a few days onto the trip to fly up to Belfast. How can you not go there! Cruising really never does get old does it! Wonderful 💕

After seeing your videos, I really want to do this cruise. My heritage is England, Scotland and Wales. The hub's heritage is Ireland and Scotland.
The fish is the NCL Rebel fish. Which stands for go your own way. It’s mostly on the jewel class ships now and Day’s. :)
I thought it was a red herring :)
Ireland is one of my bucket list places!! So cool to see your visit there
cruise norwegian all the time and never noticed the red fish. now i'l have to look on my next cruise in spring
Lovely to see you in Belfast and get a reaction from the guys on the cruise ships which i see from the shoreline twice to three times a week in the season.I really enjoyed your video and you two have great personalitys and i hope you had ball in our wee town.bye the way are you Canadians?
My great grandmother was born in Belfast! Never been there. Thanks so much for this video.

I sat in one with a couple from Canada and had a drink in 2016.

Thank you for sharing this with me. Y’all have so much fun. Maybe one of these days we’ll be there.

Excellent video, one of the best on UA-cam of my home city. By the way, Whites Tavern in Belfast is even older than McHughs, it dates back to 1630.
Welcome back to the British isles

We did Oktoberfest Belfast last night!

Great video ❤❤❤❤
YOU FINALLY DID IT! Thank you.
11 NCL cruises and I never noticed 😊
Will look for them on the Getaway in January
Thanks for sharing ✌🏾

Wow…..were there holograms of folks working on the ship at the Titanic Museum? Pretty cool…..
Home of my family long ago. All goes well i'll be there soon.
What a Great cruise you have had doing the British island 😜. Have a Good week 🥰 take care
Seen that red fish a few times.
The museum sounds amazing. When we were on a NGL ship that stopped at Halifax, NS. We went to Titanic museum the guide took us around showing us items and telling us us about the fatal. Trip.

the red fish is a reblious fish.they have a delicous cocktail named that also.
Love Belfast! Spent a lot of time there years ago when I was a flight attendant on layovers. The red fish points to an exit nearby is my guess.
Fish always been there. That's the idea of NCL. You don't have to follow the crowd, you can go your own way. Free style.
Hi guy's. Love Ireland, have family there who live in County Cork. Been there a few times and seen most of Ireland. It's so beautiful.

Ahhh the titanic museum looks AMAZING!
Yes, we had the fish on Norwegian Star
Look on starboard. For green fish - Port red starboard green

Excited to see Belfast in 2024
I loved Belfast I had so much fun at the museum and a historic interactive village
Loved seeing the Titanic Museum.I have been to the one in Pigeon Forge and Branson. Looks like ya'll are having a great trip.
We did the tour in May. It was such an amazing tour.
I've noticed that fish. Its the reason for the drink NCL drink named the Rebellious Fish.
I liked the Pound Stores to get drinks and snacks for a pound, especially Diet Pepsi. (I paid 5 pounds for a can of Diet Pepsi when staying at a London Hilton.) I didn't know it until I got the bill.
What's up guys. I lived in Cork in '82. Greetings from West Australia. 😃🇮🇪
The SS Nomadic is the only surviving White Star Line 'ship' and is one of Titanic's tenders.
My Irish friend has major potty mouth too, but it sounds so cute with her Irish accent! I was looking at this cruise and have almost made up my mind to do it in 2025 for my 70th birthday!

I,ve noticed the red fiish on most Norwegian cruise 🛳 ships
BEEN WAITING FOR A NEW VIDEO DROP ALL WEEK!!!🎉
When are you coming back? 😉
We were in pigeon forge and Gatlinburg in Tennessee went to the titanic museum love it there more interesting were you are ❤
Absolutely loved our 10 day British Isles cruise on the Dawn in 2022. It’s been fun to watch y’all do some of the same excursions! Great memories.
I noticed it when we were in hawaii
Ireland is on the bucket list!
Lovely to see you had a great time in Belfast. I've been saying for years that Saint George's market should be open 7 days a week but i think it's council policy to limit it. WHy? ...Fuk only knows
Yep, we swear alot 😎
Lucky to stop in Cork instead of La Havre
I saw the museum in 2016 on my trip to Ireland and Scotland. Had seen the Titanic museum in Vegas in 2013. Any man who thought they worked in their life should see the video at the museum. Guessing $.50 cent's a day?
Awesome!
I knew a guy like your cabbie. He was a quasi-cop. A friend road with him one day. He related the story to us. "He's like f this, f that, f'in this, f'in that. I'm sitting there thinking wtf?" 😂
So i.want to do Belfast in.that in city or town
The rogue red fish are pointing you to a an emergency exit. Closest exit. Like on an airplane.
Is that Titanic Mueseum haunted?? Ours here in Branson is because there are authentic relics here too!
I saw Nessi in Belfast
That would be my Aunt nessie then.
There’s even a transportation museum
The wee red fish is the red herring! (Think mystery fiction fake clue)
The worst irony about the Titanic disaster was, had the night watch NOT gotten through to the bridge when they did, and the crew began to try to steer clear of the iceberg and, instead, hit the iceberg dead on, the ship would’ve likely been severely damaged, but the watertight compartments wouldn’t have been sliced open, and the ship probably wouldn’t have sunk…most of the dead actually either drowned or froze
Could I please get some info on this cruise???
those small booths in the pub are called snugs. The Irish women would sit in the snug and have a pint as they could not be seen drinking in public. This cruise itinerary is on my bucklist.
It's a thing!! Really helps when you've had to few to many cocktails. Sadly, they're getting rid of it..
Another great video guys but F.Y.I. an "engine worker guy" is called an engineer,
Not once. Not never. 👀
Buffalo wings in an Irish pub!! Get a grip chap, at the very least get some stew!
Titanic isn’t a cruise ship it’s a ocean liner just clarifying
Red fish points to the exit or elevators
Ireland is not part of the British isles.
Wherever you go, there you are
Americans remaining Americans abroad: Sad, predictable 🇺🇸
Great video! Thanks for all the great information. Did you use American money or euros?🥰⚓️🦩🛳️
We were there in August. Always use credit card or pounds and euros. Most small shops do not accept American.
@@karenfromNH 😊 thank you
Why would you use US dollars in Europe. Shops don't accept US dollars.
The red fish is a Red Herring.
