Background Information - My husband and I are in our early 60's, have cruised 25+ times, have cruised on Carnival,Celebrity,Cunard,Holland America, NCL,Royal Caribbean,& Princess.
We flew to London several days early to adjust for jet lag. We took the "tube" to London. We stayed at the Hyatt Churchill for 2 nights. We went to the theater, purchasing half price tickets at Leicester Square. Used the "tube" in London - very easy.
Transfer to Southhampton - I purchased bus transportation on-line & we took the bus from Victoria Motorcoach Station to Southhampton. Cost $12.50 pounds for the two of us. (We saw long lines of Princess passagers at the bus station,waiting for their transfer, assume Princess arranged this) In Southhampton, we took a taxi to the ship.
Cabin D712 Mini suite - great having larger bathroom with tub.
