Best place to view ships - southampton

[EssexGary]

Hi, we're on Celebrity Equinox in Jan 10 - but are going to southampton in August this year to see her when she is in dock. Any suggestions where the best place to sit and watch her will be? a park or something? so we can take a pic-nic and wish away the months before our sailing!

 

Thanks!

Hello,

 

my preferred places are the Blue Funnel Harbour Cruises:

 

http://www.bluefunnel.co.uk/

 

Most of these pictures were taken from the harbour cruise:

Then of course Hythe which is opposite for QE2-Terminal and all leaving and arriving ships:

Subject your ship you like to see berth at QE2 you can also use the Hythe Ferry:

But Carnival and their brands will move most of the operation from QE2-Terminal to their own new Terminal this year. So a lot of ships are not so easy anymore to discover.

 

If your ship stay at City Center Terminal, you may also take pictures from the Mayflower Park in the City:
