Southampton question

[ian moore]

We are planning on taking a Princess cruise later in the year. We will be disembarking in Southampton and our flight home leaves Southampton airport at 1845.

 

As usual,Princess will have passengers off the ship before 10.00 am and we do not want to spend a long boring day at the airport.

 

We are wondering if there are any local tour companies that can do local tours, maybe at Portsmouth, and then deliver us/our luggage back to the airport.

 

Any cruisers been in this position?

 

All ideas welcome?

 

Many thanks.

The SeaCity Museum is pretty cool. Lots of TITANIC and ocean liner-related exhibits. It's on

Havelock Road. Definitely worth a visit.

You might get more answers on the British Isles board.

 

We love Southampton. You could visit Old Town and tour the medieval sites and stop at the Duke of Wellington pub. There is a very big mall, too.
