Embarkation/Disembarkation at Southampton - times/procedures advice please

Is it ok if you're a little earlier than your time slot to board the ship - our train gets in to Southampton at 11 but we've been told to check in around 12.45 - if not, where should we wait until it's time to board? Can we get lunch when we board the ship?

what is the procedure for disembarkation at the end of the trip. is it in time slots as per boarding instructions. we need to arrange what train we're taking back to London - the boat arrives at 6am.

Can you get breakfast on disembarkation day

Thanks for any info

The times to arrive at the port are suggestions, not requirements. There isn’t much space in the terminal and they don’t want everyone arriving simultaneously.

Lunch will begin by noon.

Rooms will be ready around 1:30.

There is no room service breakfast on disembarkation day but there is sit down breakfast in and he MDR and there is the buffet. They both close about 8:30 and they want you off the ship by about 9:30x

Just finished a two week Silhouette out of Southampton at the beginning of September. I agree completely with the prior response.

On Silhouette out of Southampton right now. Our checkin time was 1.30 but we got there at 11am and virtually walked right on

If you have time, take a brief walking tour of Southampton. It's a lovely and very interesting city.

As for boarding the ship....the boarding time is only a suggestion! If you're concierge class you get a served lunch in the MDR between 11:30 (?) and 1:30. Menu is limited but it's a nice way to start the cruise.

As for leaving the ship...it depends on the time you want/must leave, and it is by time, but you will be assigned based on the departure card you'll fill out and give to guest services) as for breakfast here's something we do because every second of sleep is important to us! Call room service the night before you disembark and order a cold breakfast (cereal, milk, fruit, bread, juice) delivered to your room around 10 p.m (or whenever as long as it's before they stop room service). The only thing you have to pass on is coffee but you can get that pretty much anywhere once you get off the ship (if you have the time, a leisurely b-fast in Southampton would be lovely). That holds us till we get to the airport and then we can have a leisurely breakfast there.

PS: You HAVE to order b-fast on the phone because as far as I know they will not pick up orders on the last night.

Thanks to all who replied. Now I know what to expect.
