kriscii Posted April 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Managed to get booked on the cruise but have spotted that at this late a date there is no official parking available at the port. I guess parking in the nearby multi-stories and catching a taxi is an option but getting a taxi on disembarkation probably won't be so easy, I assume there will be a big queue issue? Anyone have any other options? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes tried them first they are the Cunard recommended one as well. On one of the other sites they were showing no parking available until Thursday. People are generally booking up cruises months in advance so part of the problem but you might have expected spaces free up from the cancelled TA cruises this replaces.

It is interesting if a little expensive £192 The other 2 parking options you mention are also full. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaspberryCremeBrulee Posted April 27, 2023 #12 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Another option for hotel stay / parking / taxi transfer is Holiday Inn Express at Botley Road, M27 J7. You can select park and stay and go 4 days and add additional days parking. They are still showing some availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PORT ROYAL Posted April 27, 2023 #16 Share Posted April 27, 2023 May one suggest to make a Hilton package booking, then continue searching. This way you have a solid base, then continue the search, knowing one can, as a member, cancel the day before without penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clydecruiser Posted April 27, 2023 #19 Share Posted April 27, 2023 We managed to book with CPS £125 earlier. No consolation I know. we are staying the weekend at the Hilton and it is £108 b&b pernight so if 1 night plus parking is £192 it is good value.

kriscii Posted April 28, 2023 Author #21 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Thanks for all the replies, had a busy evening so just catching up. Hopefully one of the options will work that I'll go back to my fall back plan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandymay Posted April 28, 2023 #22 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Did you manage to find any suitable parking ? I have had absolutely no luck & am now looking at Eastgate multi storey 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffordshirecruiser Posted April 28, 2023 #23 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Hi All, both CPS and Azure were fully booked, so I started to look at other options. I settled on the Ibis at West Quay - booked through the Accor site it included the night before stay, and up to 8 nights parking for £80.00. Just need to pay for the taxi for a short distance on top. I could only find this by typing in Ibis and cruise and stay and park,. Hope this helps others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live close enough to grab a taxi, but I just like to jump in my car at the end of the holiday. All the multi-stories still require a taxi, so may as well do that option.
