Creator's Key Takeaways

Me and my husband, we've been cruising for over 20 years.

So, a very good option is to do the uh coach, but beware if you do decide to go the coach route.

We never say absolutely don't go on the cruise option, but just make sure that you have all the information before you make your decision.

It was worth it to do it once for sure, but it may be too time restrictive to do it on your own.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Plan to give yourself enough time so that you're not panicking how to get to the bus station to catch it.
Be mindful of how long it will logistically take you to get off the ship, get your bags, and actually get to the train station.
Check where the cruise line transfer ends, as it might not be central London.

Getting off the ship and to the train station on timePlan to make it leisurely so you're not panicked; don't plan for best-case scenario.
Using credit cards in EnglandAsk your taxi driver if they'll accept credit cards, as England uses pounds, not euros.
