Creator's Key Takeaways

Southampton has five Cruise terminals in front of me here is City Horizon and mayf flare behind there is ocean and QE2 terminals five terminals

the fastest ones taking around an hour and 20 minutes at 5 past and at 35 minutes past they're normally the Bournemouth or wouth trains

you'll have designated areas to drop off your luggage and you'll see it again outside your cabin

the terminals are designed to get you through as quickly as possible sometimes as quickly as 20 minutes so there is no restaurant there is no shop to buy anything

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check your cruise company for the exact terminal departure information

✓Use the ABP website for up-to-date ship arrival and departure times

✓Head towards the front of the train from London for a quieter journey

✓Avoid Friday afternoons for travel to Southampton

✓Use designated luggage drop-off areas at the terminal

Heavy luggage and carrying it up the gangway — Use designated luggage drop-off areas; you'll see it again outside your cabin
