A few ships call there, I went on Caronia in 2002 or 2003. When I get back from my cruise on QE, I will have to look at doing a thead on the Isle of Man, it has a very long history.

It is more expensive for two people at the ballroom than it is for a family of 4! I would just get the family pass for my wife and I alone. Looks marvelous.

But don't they have any evening dances? That is when most people would want to dance, I guess.

It is a beautiful ballroom. I am not sure about the evening dances, but they might have them in summer.

It's not as expensive as you think Neil.
That pass gets you into the Circus' and a display of dinosaurs, and a trip to the top of the Tower. All good stuff.

It is the Mecca of dancing , even French Canadians in our dance classes ,who had never left Quebec , had heard of it and wanted to visit it. It is like a shrine.
