verynervous Posted May 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I would appreciate any information on what happens when you arrive in your car at Newcastle port. We have booked parking with Tui. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dronnygirl Posted May 28, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 28, 2019 You are shown where to park your car and then go to the terminal where they take your luggage from you. You are then taken about 100 yards by bus to another building where you will be issued with a number. When your number is called you go to a booth where they take your photo and credit card details then issue your ships card. You can then board the ship. There is a small cafe while you wait. All very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ormy Posted May 28, 2019 #3 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Yes very easy - my advice would to get to the port early if possible, you will then be one of the first to check in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgilc1 Posted May 28, 2019 #4 Share Posted May 28, 2019 They say for my cruise from newcastle that embarkation is from 12:00. Do they onboard you before that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dronnygirl Posted May 28, 2019 #5 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I would advise you go about 11am, we did and were on the ship at 12.30. We went to our cabin which was not ready but we could leave our bags in the wardrobe. Had lunch before it got busy. It's so relaxing compared to flying!

What do they do with you for 1hr 30 mins? Is that just volume of people slowing it down? Yes, looking forward to not having a long flight to get to the boat. We are in NI but will be able to get a puddle hopper over with Easyjet, probably the evening before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dronnygirl Posted May 28, 2019 #7 Share Posted May 28, 2019 The time goes very quickly. By the time you've parked, checked in and had a coffee you are on board. If you are flying in the night before you can stay at the Premier Inn, only 10 minutes walk away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eglesbrech Posted June 20, 2019 #9 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Can I ask how they collect passport information. Do you complete API on line in advance or do they check the passport at Newcastle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
