We're heading overseas in August for a Northern European cruise out of Dover.
Plan is to head over a few days early and spend some time in either London or Paris - can't really decide.
We're not really interested in food, so that's not a factor. We like nice, clean hotels. Emphasis on clean. It has to be clean. If it's not clean, my wife might fly home. Clean. Not quaint. Clean. (Clean)
London is easier - Dover is just a 70 mile train ride away.
Paris is a little harder - would have to take a train to Calais and then take the ferry to Dover. Not sure of the time needed, but that seems like it would bite into one of our two days.
I like to be set in the city that the cruise departs from at least one night in advance, so we'll spend one day in Dover. From the pictures, Dover looks a lot like a place that you would not want to spend more than one night in.
Advice?
