Boarding time in Southampton

[tiggis]

I am making my own way to Southampton (rather than using the chauffeur service) for the Christmas cruise on Discovery.  (Departure time 6pm). No doubt I'll get embarkation details nearer the time but I'd be grateful for any guidance on roughly when the check-in opens.  Thanks

We had an early pick up time for our last cruise, and checked in at 1 pm.

I hope you enjoy your cruise!

I'm sure you are aware that the ship will be coming  back into Portsmouth and not Southampton.

Thank you for your responses.  Yes, I did know about the return to Portsmouth but have been assured that Saga arrange transport back to Southampton (which of course is not a long journey).

Curiously, the Southampton port website suggests that Discovery is returning there on 8 January, and that’s seemingly confirmed  by the equivalent Portsmouth site, which has no mention of Discovery on that day. But mySaga still says Portsmouth.  I guess it makes no practical difference to most passengers on a Saga cruise as long as the chauffeurs know where to go!

No worry about that the drivers are informed. We're on a cruise in December out of Southampton in Portsmouth .
