Parking port of tyne

Can anyone tell me how much it cost to park at the port of Tyne?

Currently £12 per day although it's £10 per day if you book through Thomsons

Thank you

Can anyone tell me how much it cost to park at the port of Tyne?

We have booked the night before at the Premiere Inn and after reading here I phoned them and they allow you to park your car for the duration of your cruise and they ask for a donation to Great Ormand Street. Your donation is at your discretion. Himself is happy with that but I have concerns over security of the car. No doubt by June he will have talked me round.

Thanks for that, it's worth thinking about

I'm also looking into parking at Newcastle Port of Tyne Cruise Parking.

Could someone advise the parking procedure please in more detail. I'm interested in how I get back to the cruise terminal, how long that takes and do you park your car yourself and do you have to leave the car keys with them.

Thanks fenreed

We decided to book the bus advertised on tui site. They go from Leeds, the nearest for us. Saves all the bother of driving and parking. Not a bad price either

Parking is easy at Newcastle, you drop off cases and are directed to parking spot, then short ride to terminal.

We spoke with people who used the coach service from Liverpool, they said it took ages, about 6 hours picking up along the way - not direct. Parking at Newcastle Cruise Terminal is not cheap, but when you look at the overall cost of the cruise - its nothing and convenient. I suggest getting there as early as possible - front of the queue at check in. We drove from Greater Manchester just over a couple of hours.

We decided we wouldn't pay the extortionate price charged by the port and did consider leaving the car at the Premier Inn as we are staying the night before. However we were concerned if the car was stolen, no-one would notice and report it. After much research we decided to use Just Parking and are parking on someone's drive just across from the port. Much cheaper and loads of great reviews.

Can somebody say if you have to leave your car keys at Port of Tyne car park please.

You park yourself and take keys with you - very convenient, no luggage to bother about either.

Thanks Ormy

Well, we've decided to bite the bullet and park at the Port of Tyne. I've spent ages online trying to find a cheaper rate than the £12 per day. My Tui Account has a link for Port Parking, presumably at a reduced rate, The link does not work resulting in a "page not found"! I visited a Tui travel agent (not really happy to chat because I'd booked online). So I emailed Tui Customer Services and have yet to receive a reply.

I then emailed the CEO. As yet, no reply. One would think that a company such as Tui who can spend a lot of money on TV ads telling you how the customer matters, and how they look after their customers, could actually make an effort and make their actions mirror their words.

Trying to find a dedicated contact point online takes a long time. Of course, and when you find a point of contact, one realises that one is in a queue waiting for your email to be answered.

Well, hopefully, the power, or powers that be, may read these message boards and take action.

Will it happen? A pig just shot by my window!!!

Only thing to be said is enjoy your cruise, ship personnel are far better than land base staff.

Try ringing 0203 451 2682, open from 9am. They were helpful for amendments which, I guess, includes paring

Thanks for that dronnygirl I'll let you know the response

They are very helpful if you private message them on their "social media" page.

Thank you Sheila49 for that. Bit of a problem for me...I don't do social media, apart from informative outfits like this one.

Just to update anyone following this who may be also interested in the information I'm trying to obtain, I'm still awaiting a response from Customer Services whom I emailed 12 May.

I'm also awaiting a response from the CEO whom I emailed 18 May.

I suppose they must be busy people, but there again, so am I..................

Hello fenreed

Like you I also don't do social media but when a problem has arisen that I require an answer to I use the following : TUICares@tui.co.uk. An automated reply usually arrives quickly and then their response is not normally long after that.

We are sailing from Newcastle for the first time but have booked with Intercruises - we will have to see what that experience is like! We have travelled to Southampton with no problems before.

I checked my account and can’t see a link.

There is this in FAQs:

You can also add car parking at the port, at the time of booking, or by calling 0871 230 2800, if you’ve already booked.

Thanks skioncruises and heywood for those points of contact. I'll let you know how I get on.

That’s good news - I am glad that it is sorted and with the discount :)

Good luck with the luggage. I am a bit bothered about ours- only not knowing the procedures.

We are on a coach and with other cruise lines, you don’t see the luggage until it is delivered to the room. Apparently, we have to check it in etc ourselves.

Hopefully it will run smoothly.

We go on 7th July and have been advised to drop our luggage and then park the car. We are parking across the road on a drive. So I guess it will be the same for you, drop the luggage first.

Yes you drop off luggage first then go and park your car - make your way to check in and you will get a coloured ticket, this determines the order you will be called for check in, the earlier you get there the earlier you will be called. Its all very simple and organised.
