You want something wacky...

On our recent trip around Ireland and the UK we stopped in Cork where there was no requirement for passports....yet there was on the next stop to go to Dublin....
It seems like if they are not set up for it....f**k it...let it slide.

Also getting off the ship in Southampton....nothing was checked. We picked up our bags and walked out. No customs or passport checks.
I didn't see any biometrics either.

Might be easier to get into the UK on large boats than small ones.
