Southampton Cruise Reviews

No ports of call, Southampton being the port of embarkation and disembarkation ...

Local to us and familiar. Easy parking. ...

Post COVID. Horrendous embarkation changes due to need for drive through testing. 3 hours in a massive crawling car queue not the ideal start to a relaxing holiday. Then a further crawl to terminal drop off- coincidentally taking long enough for you to receive your test outcome by text before entering the terminal. Or not as the case may be with many passengers apparently not receiving their text ...

Embarked and it was a horrid drive from up north. ...

Normally we have found the operation at the port to be efficient and without fault. However on this occasion it was anything but. How much of that is due to the port itself or P&O I am unable to say but clearly the whole Covid situation is still having repercussions. For further info see my review of our Britannia cruise. ...

Only vaccinated guests and crew on board. Ore boarding covid testing was reassuring. felt safe on board ...

Southampton is a great place to start and end your cruise. There are museums and plenty of places to eat and stay. Plus the wonderful Mayflower Theatre ...

Well organised embarkation. Many on this cruise had priority boarding and many arrived well before allotted time, P& O need to firm up on designated arrival times. ...

Good embarkation ...
