Embarkation / Southampton

Yarco · 01-19-2008, 05:03 PM

A little worry that i have is concerning arriving & embarkation at southampton. I have purchased return coach travel with Eavesway Travel, for my P&O cruise as i know they have an agreement with P&O, for their UK based cruise itinerary's.
So maybe i'm being daft, but as the coach is scheduled to leave norwich city center at 8.30am on a friday, & arrive in southampton at 14.30pm, and that as southampton is around 200 miles away, plus the fact we have to negotiate the dreaded M25 london orbital is this not cutting it a bit fine?, bearing in mind that the cruise itself departs at 17. 30pm.

Evening Mark. Did you book it via P&O ?

6 hours ought to do it with time to spare and anyway, if there is a hold up. then Eavesway will be in touch with P&O. No worries. We have free parking at the port. Part of our cruise.

, no i booked it direct with Eavesway & the booking receipt has P&O Cruises logo on it, i know they have their own page within some of P&O's brochures that why i decided to go with them.
Jean i'm sure it will be ample time it's just the last time i visited southampton, i went by private car, also a friday although we left around 12 noon, & by the time we got to the M25 total gridlock. Luckly for me i left a day early.
