Guest ldtr Posted February 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2023 While I have disembarked in Southampton previously with other cruise lines, I have never done so with P&O. I am trying to determine what time I should tell the car service to pick me up there. Based upon other cruises I have taken normally I would say about 9:30 and would have had plenty of time in case some delays were to occur. Any suggestions?

davecttr Posted February 20, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I arrange a 9.30 collection time for my taxi and last week had a 9am leaving time. However they were running early, amazing with 6000 passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a disembarkation in January of 8.45 and was at Southampton train station at 9.30. A very smooth and quick process! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanieC,Aston Posted February 21, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Was on Eavesway coach on Saturday,,,was on the coach and away for 08:30. All coach passengers had a debark time of 08:15 - 08:25. Cant see the point of hanging around the ship when you have to vacate your cabin for 08:00 at the latest.

jeanlyon Posted February 21, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 21, 2023 We normally self-disembark with our luggage, so off the ship by 8.30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare david63 Posted February 21, 2023 #8 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Always remember when arranging transport on disembarkation day that there is a possibility that for any number of reasons the ship can be late docking - I have known it be as late as 11:00. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under normal circumstances with the improvements with disembarkation if you are doing self disembarkation you will be off well before 8:30 as main disembarkation will be well underway by then.

Cruise_Rookie_2010 Posted February 21, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 21, 2023 We've done Iona out of Southampton twice and found disembarkation to be a pain free process. The planning which obviously went into making the process so smooth shows, room to car park in about 10-15 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonuk Posted February 22, 2023 #11 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Last week on the Iona we asked for the 08:15 slot and were actually in our car (CPS) and away from the port by 07:50 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindypops Posted February 12 #18 Share Posted February 12 Which deck is disembarkation please ? what time did self disembarkation start? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising.mark.uk Posted February 12 #19 Share Posted February 12 1 hour ago, Lindypops said: Which deck is disembarkation please ? what time did self disembarkation start? thanks Disembarkation is Deck 6. When we arrived back last Saturday, docking time was 0600 and self disembarkation started at 0630. We had a bite of breakfast whilst the initial queue died down, walked off the ship with no queue at 0650 and the taxi dropped us off at the Holiday Inn where our car was parked at 0705. For us, an incredibly smooth and painless process. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FangedRose Posted February 12 #22 Share Posted February 12 The deck will depend on the tide. Self disembarkation is always first at around 7am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
