Kendall James-Vargas Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Has anyone cruised from Southampton before? It seems like the cruise port is going to see an increase in guests this year! https://www.cruisehive.com/uks-biggest-cruise-port-looks-ahead-to-busy-2023/92519 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulB Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 @Kendall James-Vargas yes I've sailed from Southampton. I didn't know what to expect, the time boarding wasn't as bad as I was expecting at first. It was all fairly painless and we got on in a reasonable fashion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Sisters Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 That's great news to hear Southampton is growing! One of the reasons it's likely growing in popularity is because the area has so much to do. I would imagine cruise guests what some extra time to explore the area on land before departing back to their hometown. https://www.cruisehive.com/things-to-do-in-southampton-uk-for-cruise-visitors/42016 This port has the capacity to hold some serious mega ships!

Baowen Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I've cruised out of Southhampton lots of times. It's a nice port. There's a couple of big Asda's close by good for stocking up on snacks & a wine bottle. I hope they have improved the parking area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulB Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 @Baowen last time I went out of Southampton they hadn't improved it. And we were waiting such a long time, in hot weather which put us all in a bad mood to begin things with. They have some nice eateries around so best to get there early and look around before going into the waiting around . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
