Have stayed at the Holiday Inn quite a few times we fly from Sydney a few days in London take a cab to Waterloo and train to Southampton Central very convenient and a view of the ship in the morning.
We also stayed on floor 9 and had amazing views. Sad to see there were no water and chocolates in the room this time. They were complimentary last time. We have booked the parking package for our next cruise. Hope you're having a lovely time on Iona x
OMG Jamie, you're killing us. We love watching these, but we're not due to go until May. We usually stay the night before in the Premier Inn across the road. But it was too expensive this time. You got a good price for this one.
Recently traveled from London on cruise day, not too bad. This looks very nice. How hard would it be to put a safe in each room? People bring documents, money and other valuables to a cruise. Town did seem pretty safe.
I've stayed at this hotel many times and have always enjoyed it. My only complaint is that the health club/swimming pool didn't reopen after the pandemic & is (I hear) due for demolition, if it hasn't already gone.
Well P&O Aurora and Arcadia are adults only, Marella Discovery 2, Rui river cruises and also Disney have very nice adults only areas. It all depends on what kind of holiday / cruise / demographic you are looking for?
We stayed there twice pre cruise last year in standard rooms and find it annoying there is no safe in the room, apart from that its in a great position for cruising.
@@TravelBlogJamie hi Jamie I sent my comment in before realising you were a couple. It therefore was a reasonable price. I'm single and would never pay that much. Thank you for the informative videos. I would love to meet you.
@@nicholasstokes8330 so this was the cheapest room going in Southampton that night and for 2 it’s reasonable. When I travel solo it can be very difficult to get decent rooms in hotels in major towns / cities for much less
Holidays are starting! Let’s do this starting with our pre-cruise stay at the Holiday Inn Southampton ❤

@@dianacarragher5845 love the view of the ships from the room
Thanks for the hotel overview, Jamie. Have booked this hotel (a standard room with sofa bed) for our pre and post-cruise stay!
Hope you enjoy 😊

Thank you 🙏
We’ve stayed here once and loved it. We had a top floor deluxe room and 2 weeks parking. It all worked really well. Would certainly recommend.
I like it here too
Looks very modern clean and a good view. What l would expect from Holiday Inn. Good price as well.
Very good value!

Yeh I really don’t think there’s a worry with this hotel and security
Keep up the good work Jamie. Subbed after finding you on Twitter.

Thanks so much Ryan 🙌🙌🙌

See other comment 😂
Do they have shuttles to the cruise ports? Thanks!
The holiday inn will shuttle you to and from your cruise terminal as a part of the parking package
Looked up price for August. £180! Think we'll drive down on the morning then.
That’s too much
Looks great thanks
We enjoy it here!
Why is the Horizon cruise terminal not accessible by foot through gate 8?
I don’t know
Nice hotel now all the refurbs are done. Only downside the slow and small lifts 😂
Oh yes this is a good point!! No room to swing your rat, I mean cat…
Hi Jamie what is the best Adults only cruise you have been on please ? 😊
Well P&O Aurora and Arcadia are adults only, Marella Discovery 2, Rui river cruises and also Disney have very nice adults only areas. It all depends on what kind of holiday / cruise / demographic you are looking for?
Sorry I meant to say Marella Explorer 2; apologies
Thank you for your quick reply 😊 We’ve never cruised before and would love to try it, but do not want any children on board xxx
@@lindacollier5441perhaps look at the above (minus Disney) and see what is available?
@@TravelBlogJamie

It usually includes breakfast as well, at least for me. And I’m a rewards member so get points and perks.
