Many thanks. Just been chatting to someone about that, I think the situation is fluid but the expression "B... Awful" sums it up. I have read that some people had few problems, I think it is pot luck. Which terminal are you using? Gan canny Dai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daiB Posted May 27, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Ocean terminal, dock gate 4, right near the roadworks!!! Ahhh. Getting to Mayflower is much easier. ;) I would give yourself an extra hour leeway. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianI Posted May 27, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 27, 2014 On Azura last month, we were delayed by 20mins getting into gate 4. However, while we were away the new gate 5 was opened which is three lanes exit only so we were straight out. Gate 4 should now be one way in so should be much better.

Stafford blonde Posted May 30, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Arrived back today from a wonderful Baltic cruise on Arcadia but OMG the chaos @ the QE terminal was horrendous. It was so bad my husband and I went back into the terminal and had a Coffee hoping it would improve.....it didn't . We first got off the ship @ 9.30 but finally decided to have a go at getting out @ approx 10 45.......finally left dock gates @ 11.50!!!!! It was complicated by people also trying to embark. The disruption is supposed to be on till next April. I wonder if we would have been better trying to get off @ 7.15. Has anyone found this better??

We disembarked in March from Ocean Terminal and we were off the ship out of gate 4 and in West Quay shopping centre by 10am but others on same cruise had an horrendous time getting away from gate 4. Not surprised that there was utter chaos because people start to arrive at 11am to embark the ship. Welcome home to Sunny Stafford you havent missed much and the Baltics is our favourite cruise. Just as an afterthought perhaps I should change my username to Stone grey lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stafford blonde Posted May 31, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Spoke to a friend tonight who was on Oceana docked today @ The Mayflower and were back home in Staffordshire by 12 they booked a disembarkation time. Is that only available @ The Mayflower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
