Hi

Thats not that easy a route.

You could get the Gatwick express to victoria (rail - 35 mins approx £15.90 one way).

Then have to get a tube (£2 and 30 mins but very difficult with bags) or cab(£15 not sure these days- but far more convienient and about 30 mins) to Liverpool Street

There is then a train from Liverpool Street direct to Harwich which is about £18 one way and takes about 75 minutes.

 

Tends to show how inconvienient London can be!!

 

I guess the transfer with RCL would be a better option but I dont know how much they charge. If its under £50 it would e a bargain for convienience.

 

Good luck

Frankly, it's a nightmare. There's no easy way to get across London without lots of changes. It would take at least 3 hours. You could hire a car but prices in the UK are much higher than in the US and it's not an easy drive (London is in the way!)

 

You can get a private hire transfer for £200/£300 (google "gatwick harwich transfer").

 

I'd stick with RCI's transfer - if you get stuck on the M25 the ship should wait for you!

Done the Harwich trip 4 times,last, sept 07, usuing the train is not too,bad, much better than bus TRANSFER,.& used the tube.(UNDERGROUND)

 

TRAINLINE .CO.UK , FOR PRICE &TIMES,from 2008 you can book inadvance (deals).such as a family card.or special usually 7 weeks prior.

 

Train runs from Liverpool street direct to the ship,most times there is a boat train,12 mid to ship & 9.15 am returning, approx 1hr 20 mins BUT there are earlier stopping trains.
