You did very well to fit that all in wit the traffic in the Cotswolds. A recommendation from someone who lived there for many years. Do not try it in July / August. The amount of tourist traffic is huge along with the crowds. May/June and September are best

Can only go by our own experience. But have never had any issue with any cruise line at Southampton. Best advice is turn up for the boarding time you have booked and it will be plain sailing ( excusing the pun)

I agree, we are doing a SSea next March for the 1st time and with our Celebrity Elite status we get free laundry. Now that is a perk - not coming home to masses of washing
