Thank you for your info. We will probably opt for a car service for several reasons. 1) Wrangling the luggage at a train station (much less getting to the train station) will be difficult for Mr. Mimosa. 2) Paris is 3hrs away from Le Havre. Going back to Southampton means disembarking there, getting a taxi to the airport and waiting to board on an afternoon flight to Paris and when arriving in Paris - another hour or more traveling to the hotel we like in Paris. That means our arrival would be in the evening not the afternoon if we got a ride to Paris on the previous day. We are thinking hiring a car service may be cheaper and faster than booking a flight from Southampton - but of course we will investigate and see.
And when I talked to Princess yesterday, it sounded like we can disembark in Le Havre like we originally planned for the excursion they had originally offered. The problem was due to some "mechanical issues" they were not offering the excursion any more for those passengers that wanted to take advantage of bringing their luggage to either stay in Paris or take a train or flight from Paris. Again, more investigation needs to happen before leaving on this trip.
Again, thanks for responding!
