Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. John DHgroup tours had different transfer day availabilities (to International Friends) and sent me an email. I'm pretty sure despite the same language being used in their spiel I think is coincidental and they are two separate companies. Thanks for the recommendations/suggestions for walking around Southampton. Julie
  2. Abridged version of my planned Historical Southampton walk Walk the Medieval City Walls -The best views of Southampton's 14th-century medieval walls are obtained from the Western Esplanade, also the site of Wind Whistle Tower. The only remaining medieval church in Southampton is St. Michael's on Castle Way. Follow the walls south to Mayflower Park, which lies opposite the Mayflower Memorial to the Pilgrim Fathers, and Wool House, a 14th-century warehouse. Also nearby is the God's House Tower on Winkle Street, a 12th-century hospital dedicated to St. Julian. Tudor House and Garden -displays exhibits from the Victorian and Edwardian eras, as well as periodic exhibitions encompassing more than 900 years of local history. The Medieval Merchant's House Stroll the Titanic Trail Titanic Engineers' Memorial Titanic Musicians' Memorial Explore Old Town and Bargate Bargate marks the entrance to the Old Town. Visit the SeaCity Museum ??? (visiting Titanic museums in Cobh & Belfast)
  3. Hi John The companies that do the transfers from London to Southampton via Winchester are https://dhgrouptours.com/tour/london-winchester-southampton/ https://www.internationalfriends.co.uk/london-heathrow-to-southampton-via-winchester.html
  4. My original plan was a transfer that included a stop in Winchester on the way to Southampton. If the two companies I found that offer this option one has no vacancies and the other isn’t running on that day. The new plan is a direct transfer from London to Southampton. 25/7 check in, visit Solent Sky 9/8 & 25/8 we will be back in Southampton One of these days we intend to catch the ferry to Hythe and visit the motor car museum The other walk around the historical area of Southampton +/- go to Winchester
  5. No plans to go to Winchester on embarkation day. It would be going to Solent Sky for a few hours.
  6. My DH & I have a B2B2B cruise booked out of Southampton starting 26th July. I am looking at a London to Southampton transfer with National Express which will get us to the port at approximately 11am. Unfortunately my preferred transfer via Winchester is unavailable. I really want to maximise our time in Southampton. I presume once we are on the ship we won't be able to disembark to have a look around for a couple of hours? Alternatively can we do ALL the check in right up until embarkation(ie. not actually boarding) and then have a look around Southampton? I have plans on the two other days we are in port. If we could manage to do some things prior to boarding I may still get the opportunity to go to Winchester. TIA J
