Pickup Details
This is a shared transfer service. Nearly all cruises at Southampton arrive between 05:00am and 06:00am in the morning, with disembarkation starting around 07:00am. Your driver will meet you at the terminal building exit from 08:00am. Your driver will be holding a sign reading "International Friends", and will accompany you the car. We plan to leave Southampton by 08:30am. There are 4 cruise terminals at Southampton, all slightly different but you will have a typical walk of about 75 yards to the vehicle where the driver will load your luggage into the hold. In the unlikely event your ship is delayed into port, we will delay our departure time accordingly (applicable only to the Royal Caribbean, Oceania, NCL, Princess, Azamara, Cunard or Celebrity cruise ships). For all delayed ship arrivals we will aim to leave at the latest one hour after docking (earlier if possible).

The guy was front and center when we came out of customs and had our name spelled correctly which hardly ever happens. He was a polite and safe driver.

Driver, Sam handled all luggage and made sure we got from cruise ship to Heathrow in plenty of time for our flight.
He was in great humour and for such an early pickup.

The van was compact, with club seating for six. There was very little space to put your feet and we were shoulder to shoulder for the two and a half hour ride.
