Hi
We are booked to sail on IotS in May 2014 from Southampton, we are planning to travel on the train to Southampton from Manchester the day before, I have booked the Premier inn, the train tickets cannot be purchased until 12 weeks before travel.
We are due to dock at 05:30 in Southampton on return, what time will we be able to leave the ship and get through customs etc? I need to book a return from Southampton Central (they should be hourly) but there are 5 of us, so I need to reserve seats on the train (open tickets are really expensive and no seat is guaranteed), so I need a realistic time we can make it to the station and not miss the train, but not be hanging around for hours at the station (we have 2 elderly passengers and a 6 year old traveling).
Never cruised before, so thanks for any advice.
