nooosey Posted June 22, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Spirit of Discovery can be seen on Good Morning Britain today at Tilbury Docks today. They were doing an article on Windrush and SOD had just arrived at the docks. ITVx app can show the program on replay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLad60 Posted June 23, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Got off SoD in Tilbury yesterday. It was smoother than getting off at Portsmouth back in January - at least we didn't have to get shuttle buses from the ship to the baggage hall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted June 24, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I agree, Portsmouth is an awful port to use for a cruise ship, especially for anyone who has problems with getting to buses, and on and off, with hand luggage - which applies to a fair few of Saga's older passengers.

FatBoy20 Posted June 24, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 24, 2023 A new Cruise Terminal is due to open in Portsmouth this summer. It will do away with the "tents" currently used but you will still need a shuttle bus to the Ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted June 27, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 27, 2023 But the bus is the worst bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo1947 Posted June 28, 2023 #10 Share Posted June 28, 2023 You try being dragged down backwards getting off the ship. It's scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Windsurfboy Posted June 28, 2023 #11 Share Posted June 28, 2023 For me Portsmouth is 230 miles Tilbury 350 miles and fighting round m25, so tents and buses are minor inconvenience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
