We used Twelve Transfers in 2017 for an airport transfer and will use them again in September for LHR → London Hotel and London Hotel → Southampton transfers.  The transfer to the cruise port will cost £195.00 which is at the lower end of what I have seen.  I have no problem recommending them...

Either of those work. We've used an app called Blacklane which is essentially a much more higher end version Uber that only deals with top chauffeur services and pairs you with them through the app which unlike Uber is scheduled in advance on the app. It includes all taxes and gratuities too. I think our trip from The Savoy to the dock in Southampton was $210 pounds all in. Highly recommend.

On embarkment day, check out International Friends.  They pick up at certain London hotels with a stop at Stonehenge then dropped off at Southampton dock.
