Coach from Gatwick

[lilaclabrador]

Hi. We're joining the TA/Caribbean on 21/10 on Britannia. We have booked a place on the Courtesy Coach from Gatwick to Southampton and it says 3rd Departure on the booking. Can anyone give me around ideal of what time that will be?

Hi Lilaclabrador,

 

Have just stumbled across your post. What time does the courtesy coach leave Gatwick? We are thinking about doing this in October on one of the TA/Caribbean cruises.

We did the courtesy coach from Manchester Airport and despite the fact we were booked on the 1st coach out, when we arrived there was no system in place and people were merely boarded in order of arrival. We had to stand in a long queue and watch others board our coach and leave before us.

 

What I am trying to say is I don't think it matters what coach they say you are on or what time it is supposed to leave, I would just get there at the earliest time possible.

Hi Lynne

 

We didn't take the coach in the end, stayed overnight in Southampton instead. Sorry I can't help.

Thank you both. We were thinking about flying into Gatwick from Edinburgh on the day the cruise departs from Southampton so it would be really handy to know the timing so that we can book flights. I will contact P&O for the info.

Would it not be easier to fly to Southampton?

We are looking at one of the re positioning cruises that sail out of Southampton and flies us back from Barbados into Gatwick, so a return flight Edin - Gatwick would be easier to book.
