Also did you try any of the local food and drink e.g. Belfast baps, brown lemonade, Ulster Fry (they try to make them healthier these days by grilling more of the items), Tayto Crisps or Bushmills Whisky?
The ship's visit marked the opening of the port's £100,000 new cruise terminal.
Greenock's Ocean Terminal was officially opened 40 years ago as a specialist container terminal, but over the last 20 years it has become one of Scotland's best cruise facilities with natural deep water.
A massive superliner has christened Ireland's longest deep-water berth.
Belfast Harbour Commissioners have spent £10m on upgrading Stormont Wharf to a length of 1,040m, about four times the length of the Titanic.

Fermanagh is a lovely part of the world and as far as scenery goes think it is hard to beat.
My mother-in-law now deceased came from Fermanagh and I sometimes had trouble with some of her words and sayings. I remember going to shops for her once and she asked me to get her some sweet milk.
Well with me being from Belfast and brought up by Glaswegian parents I thought she meant condensed milk.
I later discovered it was just the ordinary stuff you put in coffee she wanted.
