Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm heading on to Fred olon balis tomorrow that's a whole other Vlog tonight we have a pre Cruise hotel stay at the Leonardo Royal Grand Harbor Southampton

we've had a really enjoyable stay here overnight the junior suite is well worth the extra kaching in our opinion that balcony this morning in the sunshine just beautiful

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make sure you get the right Leonardo Royal Hotel because there are two in Southampton
Check for parking options; West Key Car Park is £5 for 24 hours, cheaper than the hotel's £4 per night
If you have mobility issues, check accessibility details online as the hotel may not have ramps or a pool hoist

YouTube Video Description

It’s pre-cruise day! Hoorah! We are staying at the Leonardo Royal Grand Harbour Hotel in Southampton in a junior suite with 2, yes 2, balconies and views of the Solent! Join us as we show you this hotel, its facilities (bar, restaurant, pool, gym etc) and of course our suite! We discuss the poor check in experience that never happened, the then lovely service, parking and cruise packages and proximity to cruise terminals and west quay for restaurants, bars and shopping. As I type I’m about to head to my ship, Fred Olsen Borealis, so once you’ve explore our hotel, make sure you subscribe, turn on notifications as my first Fred Olsen vlog will be live on Wednesday 24 May 4.15pm! You can also follow all my pictures of the cruise on Twitter / Instagram @travelblogjamie and Facebook ‘jamiewrobins’. See you there! #leonardohotel #southampton #hotel #cruise #hotelreview #travel
