UK cruisers and parking at Southampton

[Merly]

We are sailing from Southampton in a couple of weeks and using ABP parking.

The only time we have parked at Southampton is when we sailed with Cunard. Then, we drove up to the terminal and our cases were taken from the boot and the car taken and parked for us. When we returned it was a short walk to our car.

Is this what happens with ABP or do you park it yourself and then walk to the terminal?

Thank you.

The last time I used that car park we dropped the cases and parked ourselves and walked to the terminal through the gate

First time we dropped cases first.Second time we parked first and the guy told us to leave our cases at the car which we weren't sure about.We were still thinking about this when the porter came over and took our cases.Very easy.

Used them several times. The latest version (when we went in September) is park the car, guys will come and get your luggage and put it in a Luton van for transfer to ship, you walk 5 mins to the terminal. Car Park is right beside the ship and the luggage was in our room before we were!!...and we got to the cabin at 1pm.

As a complete newbie to cruising, planning our first time, is ABP generally the preferred parking provider for Southampton or are there any other recommendations?

AB Parking are right by the cruise terminal....you could throw your cases onto the ship.

Park your own car and keep your keys. They come and collect the luggage from your car.

Very easy when you disembark too. Walk to the car and drive off!

Another vote for ABP. We had the same experience with Cunard but when sailed Royal, parked, handed luggage over and a very short walk to the terminal. When it’s time to go home it makes for a very quick getaway if you can be amongst the first of the ship.

Thanks!

ABP only had excellent experiences using them.

If you have already booked, check with your TA to see if you can get free parking. We usually do (unless we book really late), but you might have to ask at time of booking...worth a phone call though.
