This was our 5th cruise but the first from Southampton. Follow sign to dock, the gate 10. On entering you have to stop at gatehouse. The guy directed us to the ship where we offloaded luggage and rest of family before travelling about a mile to car park area and then a shuttle bus back to ship.
Embarkation was quick and we were on for 11.30. Our rooms were ready and our luggage arrived within a couple of hours.
We had 2 inside cabins 8133 and 8137 which were fine for the 4 of us.
8133 and 8137 inside stateroom. Nice location mid ship near to elevator but not noisy. Plenty of room for 2 people.
