Cruise connect

Hi can anyone give advice on when you receive tickets for coach transfers to Southampton - as going June 15th and heard nothing yet ???

They get emailed to you around a week before departure so plenty of time yet ! They don't check your tickets anyway as as the driver checks you off his list

We booked cruise connect last year for Cunard cruise. We were picked up at Telford services . The coach which was used for Wolves football team. It was luxury. However, we had to use a feeder minibus to get us to the coach and there was not enough room for us on the 1st trip so they come back for us and we met the main coach at M6 services. On the return journey it was a bog standard coach which was better as we did not have to sit across a table from moaning people (They moaned all the way through the whole journey). We have also booked Cruise Connect for our cruise on the 5th June again being picked up from M54 services at 9am but we have been told that the main coach will be picking us up this time. We find for £186 per person its well worth it too.

£186 per person ? Have they put there prices up we paid £90 per person for a transfer from Chester to southampton and Chester is roughly a hour past Telford .

Well were on are way at last down to Southampton intercruises seem to be using holmswood coaches for today's p&o and princess cruises from the north west and north wales area. Not bad coaches just lacking a bit in the leg room department I would say about 26-28 inches of leg room not good for someone who is 6ft 3.

I was at infant & junior school with the lads from Holmeswood. They have been established for many, many years, and have a large fleet of modern coaches.

Locally, they have a good reputation.

It does seem a bit steep.

I just checked with C C and it would be £180 return for two passengers from our area and with Eavesway, £86 each person return. So slightly more expensive with Cruise Connect.

We have travelled with CC through Cunard and it was generally ok. Somehow, I think Eavesway was slightly better but it could just have been the driver - more friendly!

We are going on June 15th and still not received tickets via e mail even though they keep telling me I'll have them this week ! Need to know the pick up time from swansea to arrange transport from home to swansea west services ! Anyone else travelling on coach from this area on June 15th ???

Didn't trust to Cruise Connect this time. Hated the 5am departure from Washington but at least the Eavesway service was good. Getting the train the day before this time, staying at hotel near the dock, and taking the OBC instead.

Any idea what time intercruise leave worry edge wakefield for Southampton.hoping to go see take that in concert night before but unsure what time coach leaves

Dragons fan , we caught an Intercruise coach last year from Chester Holiday Inn which was very good. We were picked up at 09.00 and eta was 14.45. We actually arrived at 14.30. so 5.5 hours which included a 10 min stop at Knutsford and a 50 min stop at Warwick. It was a Sunday and thankfully no hold ups. Of course the big advantage is that if you are held up , the ship will wait.

Got are e-tickets through this morning for are coach transfer no mention of which company is being used estimated travel time of 6hrs 15 min from Chester

I see Cruise Connect say up to 3 medium suitcases each. We are on a longer cruise so will probably take 4 medium suitcases between us and then a smaller one to keep in the cabin for the last night. Has anyone on here ever taken 3 suitcases and was the driver okay with that please?

Also my husband normally takes a rucksack with the I-pad etc in it. Is that okay, will there be room in the coach to keep with him?

TIA

I can't remember exactly how much luggage we took to see the Northern Lights, but I know we had an extra case for warm clothing plus a holdall for footwear. Everyone had more than usual but nothing was refused.

If you take a bag on the coach you will have to fit it under your seat as the roof racks are quite small.

Thanks, if the worst comes to the worst we will just have to put on the seat between us. I always take a bag as well, but only very large handbag size, so we will just have to squash up. We should only be on coach for about 2 1/2 hours I think.

Hi

I used this back in April from Nottingham. Really good coach was on time in fact we got to Southampton a lot earlier than stated. The coach was very nice and coming back again not problems
