September 10th, 2023 - 7-Night British Isles Cruise from Southampton (Belfast, Greenock, Liverpool, Ringaskiddy, Portland)

[hmsTigger]

Anyone using DCL transportation to Southampton?
If yes, where are you staying/ Getting picked up from?
This is the most nerve wracking part of the entire trip planning for me.

 

[hmsTigger]

I can book on the 12th and so far we're just hoping for:
Belfast- city walk and pub visit.
Cobh- Cork city drive and whisky center (and maybe the Titanic Museum on our own if we have time)

Greenock- train to Glasgow on our own to have lunch with a friend from there.
Liverpool - on our own British music experience in the Cunard building and maybe the see the Cavern club.
Portland - sounds like there is a shuttle to take you to Weymouth beach. I think we'll just check that area out and grab some fish & chips!

What about you?

Our hotels are both in walking distance to waterloo station so we're planning on taking the train from and to Gatwick and to and from Southampton.

Did you get the shore excursions you wanted?
Today is our booking day. I've been able to schedule some on our own since we had a long wait to book.

My husband, son and I are very excited to embark on this British Isles adventure! Just booked a few activities this AM!
Does anyone know if there is a fish extender share already in the works for this cruise? We were on The Wish in May and some guests were definitely participating...we are hoping to do so as well on this cruise.

I got them! But ouch, it took an hour of reloading to even get into the port adventures. I finished up at 1:20am.
We're going to do Palo dinner on night 4 as well. I was able to get 8:30pm which would have been our normal dinner time so we won't miss the shows. Only three months to go!!!

Ouch Still looking at airfare Prices are quite high Thinking I should just do it and now!

Thanks!

Hi,
Not using Disney transportation this time but from other ports Disney experience there will be a Disney rep equipped with Mickey ears and signs waiting right when you exit baggage claim. You really can’t miss them. They will guide or even escort you to the bus transportation.

Thank you so much for your reponse.

I;ve heard that too But we are arriving 2 days early to visit in London. We'll nerd to return to an airport terminal on cruise day.
I don't know which terminal, times etc.
Getting a little nervous.

Well, did you do online checkin ? If so did you specify flight data for the day of the cruise? Then you should arrive when your flight arrives and at the Terminal the flight would have arrived.
If you have not added any flight data I would just go to T5 arrivals at Heathrow - here all BA flights and all international BA flights are arriving. I'm confident that you will find a Disney agent there after 9 or 10 am.

Online check in is Wednesday Fingerscrossed!
Thanks for your help!

I would suggest to enter your original flight data but instead of the real date two days earlier you choose the day of the cruise. Then there will be someone in your arrival terminal at the time of your arrival

You will love Edinburgh We visited in 2019 But so much more to see. Ireland feels like home when we visit.
