Our experience when sailing out of Southampton -- Book a private transfer from Heathrow to a London hotel. Spend 2-3 days in London. The day before the cruise -- book a private transfer from London hotel to, for example, Premier Inn West Quai Southampton. From the Holiday Inn you can just walk to the pier.... Morning of the cruise -- you're all set within 5-10 mins drive to pier. National Express buses and trains -- all require additional transfers by taxi. If flying in from US, might as well spend a couple of days in London, to get over the jetlag.

@grapau27 Graham, the mom of my stepcat sent me one of her best friends for "cruise consulting"... The friends want to cruise the Norwegian Fjords with P&O (originally they're from England) and asked me about the itinerary. I've tried to check it on an US site, which I'm using to see rates and availability, before asking our TA to book us. I was surprised that P&O is not available for booking through an US-based agency. Anyhow, I've managed to see the itinerary on P&O's official site, which was not very user friendly. It includes the Geiranger fjord, which is a must. No suites available, only mini-suites for Iona on the 6th of July. Do you have any experience with mini-suites on Iona? Thanks,

Yes, I did. That's it, until Covid.... Just when I thought we'll be back to "normal" life, the war started 6 months ago. Funny thing, after his 2nd visit, when I got the "gist", I said "I'll like matching earrings, on our dime". They were eager to please Dani "san" and took DH to wholesale shops and he came back with single matching pearls, which I then designed in earrings for my taste. Bought some small diamonds at the Antwerp bourse to go with "my" pearls and ready made designer lockers for the necklaces, instead of the silver plated ones 😎

DH was also at least 7 times in Tokyo and Kyoto for work (and he's not at all keen to return, given the long flight). "Somehow", the Japanese took a "shine" on him, and, after his first visit, asked only that he will be sent. As a "compensation" for leaving me with 2 small kids for weeks at a time (we were living in Brussels then, and I had not much aid from parents and friends), the Japanese sent me every time a pearl necklace....
