How to get from London - Gatwick to Southampton?

[LFM]

RCCL won't sell me transfers, so how do I get to the ship in Southampton from Gatwick. Is there a train website where I can make a reservation? I really need some help.

There are direct trains from Gatwick airport to Southampton. Follow the "to and from our airport" link at http://www.gatwickairport.com/ Check rail schedules at: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ .

Yes,trainline .co.uk, or try the bus ,national express.co.uk,book on line.

direct trains and coaches from gatwick to s.ton

 

the train will be faster (just over 2 hours compared to between 3hrs 15mins-3hrs-50 mins) but is more expensive, but more comfortable than sitting on a coach with crappy toilet facilities

I agree the train is faster,but how does RCCL transfer you from Gatwick/ Southampton,by coach

your choice, time and cost.

The only direct coaches from Gatwick to/from Southampton are in the middle of the night - and there's only one a day each way.

 

So another vote for the train from me.

I used the direct train for a recent transatlantic cruise into Southampton-Gatwick The train station is in the airport and no changes not much over £20pp around 2hr.

I'm surprised that RCCL won't sell you transfers... that being said, we are using National Express this summer. Cost is cheap and less than 2 hrs from Heathrow. Drop off point in Southampton is less than 2 km from the pier. Nice walk if the weather is good.
