Cobaltstargazer Posted May 1, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Is it possible to drop off our luggage at Southampton before our embarkation time? Our time for getting to the terminal is 4pm but were driving for 8hrs to get there. I'm planning on arriving around 2pm and hoping to drop off the bags before heading off somewhere for a couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there somewhere to park while we drop the luggage off please or can you just pull over and take the luggage over. Don’t want to be getting a parking ticket ! We may use Just park and would prefer to have offloaded the cases beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, just go to the drop off point, hand over your luggage to a porter or stick it in the hole in the wall, then drive out. Easy peasy...

Don’t want to be getting a parking ticket ! We may use Just park and would prefer to have offloaded the cases beforehand. You park right outside the terminal (marshalls on hand to direct you) and either take your cases to the hole in the wall yourself, or use the services of one of the porters, with an aporopriate tip. (We give £1 per case). Whatever happens, you won't get a ticket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilesonfaces Posted May 1, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) That’s great, thank you both so much. If we do decide to use Just park would prefer to not be seen offloading the cases. We have used CPS before but just cannot justify the price this year ! Edited May 1, 2023 by smilesonfaces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be worth just parking at West Quay for £5 per day and walking/Uber back. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only drive an old car, either Just Park or the shopping centre are fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, did you consider Parking4cruises ? Just as convenient as CPS, speedier, and cheaper ! Edited May 1, 2023 by wowzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can drop the bags off first we can walk it from West Quay so it would just be a taxi one way. It will depend on our embarkation time too. We had 11am on Princess but last time with P & O it wasn’t until 3.45pm so we would have the day to kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
