    Have you ever been on a trip where your luggage just wasn't working for you?! Tell me in the comments.....I learned a lot for sure!

    This video is more about the broken wheel on the luggage than about how to get to South Hampton. Not helpful.

    • @yourtravelswithbruce

      yup!!!! A little bit of reserach and you'll know not to take luggage on the tube.

  • @John-kd4ef
    @John-kd4ef 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I may be old fashioned, but I use a valise with a handle to travel - no wheels, no extension handles to break or get stuck. Sure, it may be heavy, but this is the way folks used to travel before these newer, cheaper pieces of luggage came on the scene. Dependable and plenty of storage space in each piece of luggage.

    • @BonVoyageCruiseTravel
      @BonVoyageCruiseTravel  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for the idea! I have gone through at least 6 pieces of luggage between train and plane! 😊

    Easier still is taking National Express bus to Southampton. Cheaper, more comfortable, and easy to catch from London or Heathrow. That ship was P&O either Britannia or Iona at Ocean Terminal.

    Yeah obsessive planner here need to travel 3 stops to Waterloo on embarkation day your video just drives home that we are going to taxi it because the TFL app says it’s not wheelchair accessible at all. A good indication the route won’t handle luggage well.

    • @BonVoyageCruiseTravel
      @BonVoyageCruiseTravel  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Probably a smart move. There is a huge step up to the train and a gap between the platform and the train. Unless you had help, I can’t see how that would work. The bus might be a good option. They may have wheelchair ♿️ accessible doors. I’m not sure. Have a good trip!

      I think if you have heavy luggage it could be. I know when I was doing that there was major construction in some of the areas and there was traffic. Just double check that! Thanks for watching.

    Yeah.. this is the confirmation I needed. I'd like to take the train... but I'm packing for a 39-day trip. There's no way I can carry it up carry it up sets of stairs without help.
    Sorry for your struggles, but THANK YOU for this video!!

    • @BonVoyageCruiseTravel
      @BonVoyageCruiseTravel  ปีที่แล้ว

      Sometimes there are elevators…but overall a smaller bag, less clothes and something manageable is better! I have learned to pack a small bag and a large bag, send the large one home (I have a video) and the small one I used for an extend my stay after the cruise. Way easier! Good luck! Thanks for watching!

      Check the Trainline app. It will tell you times and prices. And then you can make a plan! Download that app and buy your ticket through that!

    You spend FAR too much time complaining about your luggage. People come here to get a preview of what it is like to travel by train from London to Southhampton. It would have been better to talk about how much the train ticket costs, where to buy train tickets, how long is the ride from London to Southhampton etc....This is useful information, continually harping about your luggage is not interesting to other people.

    Hey guys!! Congrats on the channel!! How do I get to the train station from the ship!! We will have about 12 hours stopped in Southampton and we want to spend this hours in London. One more question if you don't mind, Which station is stay the BigBen? thanks for all

    • @BonVoyageCruiseTravel
      @BonVoyageCruiseTravel  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Look on the Trainline app. The closest train station is Victoria Station. You might take the tube to get there once you are out of the station, or walk. It was closed when we were there. Good Luck! Thanks for watching!

    Why isn't there a direct train between London and Southampton anymore? The website only shows a combination of bus and train.

    • @BonVoyageCruiseTravel
      @BonVoyageCruiseTravel  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The bus train combo is what I used when I left Southampton. It was efficient, but you do need to walk a bit. Going into Southampton was direct by train. I would ask at the info booth. Maybe it has to do with the day off the week, off season, construction? Safe travels!☀️🚢

      Leonardo Royal Hotel Southampton Grand Harbour. They have a ride arrangement you can sign a list the night before your cruise. It’s a five minute drive.

    • @BonVoyageCruiseTravel
      @BonVoyageCruiseTravel  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You don’t have to buy them in advance but it is way easier to download the Trainline app and scan your phone through the turnstile. Paper tickets still are issued at the station. Allow time for that. I stayed www.booking.com/Share-DE7WhK. It was the Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour. You can sign up for a taxi the night before on a list to get to the port. It’s 10 minutes max away. Enjoy!

      I made this video in 2020 and I am sure prices have changed. Download TRAINLINE app, you can book and see the times. I left from Waterloo, it’s 1 1/2 hours and currently it’s around $40 US one way. There are also buses 🚌 on the app. You can book in advance and scan your phone. Thanks for watching!

      You have to take a taxi to the cruise terminal. I overnighted at a hotel and took transport there. It is close by, but not within walking distance. It took about 10 minutes by taxi. I did take a bus to my hotel area near the port. Just ask the information people there in Southampton. They were helpful. Good luck! ☀️🚢
