Embarkation time Southampton

[bustopher123]

We have an embarkation time for 1pm for a forthcoming cruise departing from Southampton. Can we arrive later than that? Would like to arrive at around 3pm.

You can arrive anytime after that up until check in closes but don't forget they close around 90 minutes before sailaway. What time is the ship leaving?

Hijacking the topic slightly, but is it possible to leave the bags at the terminal earlier and then come back for the embarkation time?

Ship leaves at 4pm, I think. Thanks for the advice. Looks like we are best getting there for the 1pm slot assigned.

Depends on the port I guess but basically YES. We often did this, come to the terminal in the morning, get rid of the suitcases, went away for sightseeing, coming back in the afternoon when the long lines are gone.
