Creator's Key Takeaways

Overall, the Poco Hotel is a great stay. Small but clean rooms, many with a harbor view, an excellent buffet, breakfast, old town across the street, and a friendly and helpful staff.

The air condition didn't work, or maybe I didn't know how to use it. The elevators are stamp-sized, and I probably waited 10 minutes to get from the eighth floor to the lobby.

Other than that, the next time we cruise from Southampton, we will definitely stay here again.

We're doing back-to-back cruises. So the first one's eight days and the second one is nine days. So 17 days total and we'll be staying in the same cabin.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Bring an adapter for UK plugs to charge devices.
โœ“Consider taking a taxi for luggage, but walking is possible if you have minimal bags.
โœ“Use the complimentary breakfast from 7 to 11 AM.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Walking to the ship with luggage โ€” A taxi may be recommended for heavy luggage, but walking is feasible with fewer bags.
Room size and storage โ€” Room is small but sufficient for a night before cruising; use luggage storage downstairs if needed.
