In my experience (several times at Southampton) you will need to be one of the first off the ship, meaning "self-disembarking" by taking your own luggage.  Still...that *could* be tight because you are never guaranteed that the ship will actually dock at that time AND you don't know how quickly local authorities will clear the ship to disembark.  Why invite stress?  I would try for a later bus.

Thanks.  That is what I was thinking.  Just wanted advice from experienced cruisers.  

We have a cruise in October, round-trip Southampton, and were planning to use the National Bus to return to Heathrow.  The ship is set to dock at 6am.  We just got a notification that our Bus has been changed to 7:30am.  Will we be able to disembark the ship in time to make this bus?
