Pre cruise accommodation:
We stayed at Southampton city Travelodge. It was cheap (£19), clean, and did the job but not really the nicest of hotels and pretty noisy with road traffic.
Parking:
2598: Nice cabin, very quiet, good location but had to move due to several fruit flies that kept reappearing.
2676: Nice cabin, mostly quite with the occasional clunk at night, great location for disembarking and for dining rooms.
