lashlarue Posted October 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Hi - we are from Canada & are experienced cruisers however we have never cruised P & O. After our cruise ends (expected arrival 0600 hrs) we need to catch the train back to London as early as possible that morning. Can anyone share their experience regarding the earliest we can disembark if we do self walk off with our luggage? Also how long does it usually take to get through customs at Southampton? We would like to book train tickets and not sure if 8:30 am train departure would be too early. Any advice would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brimarl Posted October 10, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I replied on your other post as well We self -disembarked Britannia in April. We had a breakfast in the main dining room( buffet was crazy busy) and were off the ship by 0725. I'm sure if you skipped breakfast you could be off even earlier. We actually walked to the coach terminal and were there about 8 and took the National Express Coach direct to Heathrow and arrived at 11AM. The Southampton train station is in the same general area. Train will take you to Waterloo station in London or to Gatwick while coach will take you to Heathrow. There was no delay for customs in Southampton. We overnighted at a Heathrow area hotel before an early morning flight back to Canada. We've been watching the prices on your cruise and may book it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
