We were told that boarding would commence at 1pm, which it did…..roughly. The QG passengers were called first and seemed to be seated in a specific area, but then we noticed a bit of a surge from other parts of the room. Hmm. After being called it was a very slow walk in a narrow corridor and Disney style zig zagging to reach security. I first visited the Mayflower terminal in 2001 and it doesn’t look as though it’s been updated since then. We very much prefer the newer Ocean Terminal which Cunard use to use. They still do sometimes. QV was there yesterday and again on 7 June. The only advantage of the Mayflower is that you can avoid much of the Southampton traffic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayflower on the 25th May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
