Firstly we would like to say that we enjoyed the cruise, it was not the best we have been on but we had a good time.
The night before this cruise we stayed over at Crowne Plaza Heathrow, which included parking. This meant that our car was near Heathrow for our return flight. We then got the Princess Coach transfer to Southampton (£35 pound each & using "Intercruises”) at 10am from Terminal 3 and arrived at the ship at 11:20 and having lunch on board by 12:00.
We were advised whilst checking in that the ship would not sail as planned due to the storm hitting southern England and it stayed in Southampton for 2 nights. There were Free shuttle on to go into Southampton but there were long queues (55mins) to reboard on the Sunday! Enjoyed ship, food, activities and being off work!
Balcony Cabin, Deck 14 (Riviera). A smallish cabin near the front, so not so good in bad weather!
