Question about boarding in Southampton

[CruisingPolly2]

We are not cruising until October, but I'm trying to make some plans ahead of time. We will be flying from Paris, France and landing in Southampton at 9:30AM. Is there a place where we can drop our bags? We will be traveling for some time so we will have at least 2 large suitcases. We do not necessarily care to board right then, but we don't want to drag our bags around while seeing the city. Our departure isn't until 20:00 so we have quite a while I assume.

 

Thank you! This is our first MSC Cruise, and we are so excited.

Hi Polly,

Why don't you drop off your luggage at the cruise terminal and then head off for the day?

If you were thinking of visiting London or Winchester (much closer) though, the train station at the airport is really easy to walk to and there's a left luggage company at Waterloo (the London terminus).

Southampton itself is ok for shops but not much else within walking distance.

So we are flying directly into Southampton. We arrive at 9:40AM. Would we be able to drop our bags at the ship that early? I am all for taking the train elsewhere. I just didn't want to drag our bags around. Haha.

Yes you Can early drop your bags, thats the safest Way to handle your bagage.

Thank you! We will definitely do that then.
