We depart Southampton on June 8, 2024. Is it possible to know which terminal we'll use? Our daughter & sil are extremely interested in American history & would like to see the Mayflower terminal. Thanks for any info. 🙂

Sorry to disappoint your daughter and her husband, but the only thing I've seen in Southampton related to the Mayflower is a park with a small plaque saying essentially;  "This is where the Mayflower set sail from in 1620".  There's no museum and the cruise terminal is just that, a cruise terminal.  Nothing more.

 

There is an interesting Titanic display at the SeaCity Museum, if they're interested in that.

I believe it's too early for the 2024 schedule - the current Schedule page only goes up to end of this year. You can see that Sky is currently using either the Mayflower or Ocean terminal.

Too far out to know which terminal - the terminal information usually starts appearing towards the end of the year/early new year, so for June 2024 I would start looking around February. The terminal information for Southampton can be found here

The berth assignments haven't been published yet.  Princess is usually assigned the Mayflower or Ocean Cruise Terminals. 

 

The Mayflower Terminal is the older of the two and feels like it's stuck in the 1960s.  The area around is industrial and most notably, Tesla's receiving lot for imports to GB.  No real mention of the Pilgrims.  Plymouth, England likes to take the claim to fame and has a Mayflower museum.

If you think that it is stuck in the 1960s then you should have seen it before it was refurbished several years ago.

 

I actually prefer Mayflower to Ocean.
