Southampton - Mayflower Cruise Terminal Access

[gah_cruise]

We are departing from Mayflower Cruise Terminal (Berth 106)  I see that you can use either Dock Gate 10 or 20.
However we are staying at the Holiday Inn, Herbert Waker Av. the evening before, and looking on Google Maps..it suggests going through Dock Gate 8 to Mayflower?
This seems an easier drive....is it possible or is Google just taking the shortest journey?

That's Google maps not knowing the area.

 

If my memory is right, and nothing has changed, (it's a long time since I have been round that area) dock gate 8 is quite often closed and yes it is the nearest to the Holiday Inn (in fact you are next door to it).

 

Assuming you are driving then go for dock gate 10 if going from the Holiday Inn - dock gate 20 is a long way out of your way.

Dock Gate 8 should be open because CELEBRITY SILHOUETTE is due to be there.....but would I be allowed?
I think I will take your advice and go back to 10....(20 is way out.)

Thanks for advice

Not really that much difference in either time or distance from Holiday Inn to mayflower whichever of gates 8 or 10 that you use.
