Rare ontheweb Posted August 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) Their transfer if only good from the airport. For instance, we are flying in a day early to London landing at Heathrow. It does not affect us since we booked a hotel by the airport terminal we are flying in to, but if we had booked a hotel in London itself, we would have had to get back to the airport for our transfer. They would not have allowed us to take a transfer from London itself. Edited August 2, 2023 by ontheweb spelling correction 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare insidecabin Posted August 2, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Transfers from London to Southampton by coach are relatively cheap. <£20pp. Unless something planned around LHR/London just getting to Southampton can be better as often hotels are cheaper. A lot of LHR airport don't have free transfers to/from the airport that's another cost using the Heathrow hopper or taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were going to charge us something like $75 each for transfers to and from the airport. We elected to do it on our own and got an Uber instead, for much less. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julig22 Posted August 2, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 2, 2023 If you request a deviation they normally remove the transfer (and cost) from your reservation. So make sure that the transfer is still on your reservation if you are planning to use it. I've lost track of the amount of time it's taken me to convince the NCL folks to put transfers back on because I often will stay near the airport and go back the morning of my cruise. Heathrow has a couple of hotels within one of the satellite terminals, so super easy to take the airport shuttle. But probably not a good choice if you want to explore London. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, we do have the transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
