Shuttle bus from Dover to Heathrow

[EllieinNJ]

My United flight was cancelled and they put me on an earlier one that leaves Heathrow at 1pm.  There are two Carnival shuttle buses, one leaving at 6:30am and one leaving at 7:30am.  If I take the latter one will I be at the airport on time or should I go with the earlier one?  Do the buses leave on time?  This will be on a Sunday morning, June 18th.

Joy of joys. A sunday 🙂

And quite early morning to boot.

Journey time by coach should be under two hours, so a 6.30 am start will get you to Heathrow by 8.30am., so it doesn't matter if it leaves late. Even the 7.30 coach should be good enough, but its always best to give yourselves the biggest window possible in case of an extraordinary delay, so book the 6.30.

Do check whether for that time in the morning you need to disembark unassisted (haul your bags from your cabin).

Hi, I'm in a similar position trying to get to Heathrow but haven't looked into Carnival transfers. Can I ask how much the Carnival transfer is please?

The transfer is $110pp.  We decided to book the 6 30am bus just to be safe.
