jdoggvegas Posted June 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I am traveling on the June 21st sailing on Celebrity Eclipse, arriving back to Southampton on July 5 at 5:30am. I have booked concierge class which allows priority disembarkation. I'm flying to Brussels post cruise. There is a 10:30am flight from Gatwick to Brussels. Would I be able to make this flight in time or should I book a later flight from Heathrow? Would it be necessary to take private transportation from the cruise terminal to the airport? Thanks for any help you can provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemis Posted June 14, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I'm not usually afraid of tight connections, but think a 10:30 out of Gatwick is pushing it. This seems to be a decent summary of transfer options and logistics--also info for getting to Heathrow. http://www.londontoolkit.com/travel/gatwick_southampton.htm Have a fabulous cruise!

WestLakeGirl Posted June 14, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Prority disembarkation isn't much....so many people have priority... Suites, Zentih, elite, aqua, handicapped. Could be that two thirds of the ship or even more have "priority". That's not enough time. Pick a later flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipgeeks Posted June 14, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 14, 2014 It is also a long way to Gatwick; I seem to recall that our bus ride was close to a couple of hours. And as a big international airport, there will be lots of security lines and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbsie65 Posted June 14, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I live on the Isle Of Wight and go from Southampton to Gatwick all the time and it takes at least 2 hours (train) and Gatwick is very busy during the Summer so do not risk it - you would have to leave by 7am to stand a chance for a 10.30 flight.
