wheezedr Posted May 10, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Have you considered either bus or train. National Express from Victoria coach station was simple and inexpensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happycruizer Posted May 11, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Have you considered either bus or train. National Express from Victoria coach station was simple and inexpensive. Not really as I did not want to have to try to shuffle my luggage around. Am I correct in that I would need a taxi from the bus station in Southampton to the ship?

Am I correct in that I would need a taxi from the bus station in Southampton to the ship? You are correct. We met another couple on the bus who were cruising with us, shared a van, and had a great driver who managed to weave us past all the lines up close to check in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsetbeachgal Posted May 11, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I have booked with Blackberry cars. A few people on my roll call suggested them and they have been super responsive. I also booked them for LHR to downtown London. Post cruise from Southampton to LHR I’m using Smiths. We have six in our group so not too expensive when you split it up Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackberry are a London based operator, so ideal for an LHR to London transfer, while Smiths are based on the South Coast, so are best for transfers to or from Southampton. You don't say how you are getting from London to Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsetbeachgal Posted May 11, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Blackberry from London to Southampton, their price was competitive. Yes I had read here that from Southampton to airport the Southampton based companies were a better bet. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob++ Posted May 11, 2018 #10 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Taxi firms are very competitive and it's no great surprise that Blackberry can compete from Central London to Southampton. Make sure that the driver knows which dock you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
