Average Boarding time in Southampton?

[red4u2]

Greetings all!    I've never been to Europe, and this will be my first cruise boarding a ship anywhere other than the USA.

On all my cruises in the US, I've usually been on board before noon as i arrive around 1030 am to the port.

 

Curious of the average arrival times/ beginning boarding times in Southampton?

thank you!🙂

Depends on the cruise line.

 

The mainstream American lines like Royal Caribbean aim to start boarding around 11, so much the same as in the US (maybe a few minutes later).

 

But the UK-based Cunard and P&O tend to be later - typically noon to 1:00.

The cruise lines don't vary their boarding procedures that much. If you can be on by noon in the US, it is very likely you can be on by noon in Europe.
