Are there any special arrangements for wheelchairs when arriving at terminal? For Sapphire.

Not sure exactly what you mean but there are lifts (elevators) and Princess or the Terminal Agents will provide someone to push/assist with the wheelchair if required. There are porters to help with luggage.

No idea about Southampton, but both Princess cruises I've done they've had a separate table/booth thing in the terminal where you notify them of a need for assistance - then been taken through check-in, customs, etc. and onto the ship. If you don't get the answers you're after here, perhaps ask in the Disabled Cruising forum :)

Easy peesy at Southampton. Porters,( who are not Princess employees), will take your luggage from you at drop off ( a couple of bucks works wonders) note:- don't arrive too early as the porters are busy with people disembarking. Then, as soon as you enter the terminal just attract the attention of a Princess rep who will get someone to push you to the check in waiting area and then to the desk. After check in you will be pushed to a holding area and along with those passengers classed as elite, platinum or booked into a full suite you will have priority boarding. The porter( again a private company) will push you through security then as you board a Princess person will take over to push you aboard to your stateroom. If you arrive in time for lunch go to the dining room in preference to Horizon court buffet as it gets a bit crowded there.

Normally the Ocean Cruise Terminal. I think it is Berth 46.

Could be Ocean, Mayflower or QE2 they are all in close proximity You will find your one with directions on the itinerary page of your cruise personaliser just click on Southampton for both the start and finish dates as they might be different terminals full address with post code will come up.
