How long does it take to walk from the Hotel at 1 West Quay Road to the Royal Caribbean Cruise ship berth?

Hi,
Many thanks for the suggestions offered to Globetrott regarding excursions from Southampton. This has helped me a great deal as I am looking to do something similar. (I work on a cruise ship which will call in Southampton several times during the summer).

I am wondering if it is possible to walk from the terminal to the Southampton Train Station. The website for the terminal says it's about 1 -1.5 miles, and suggests a taxi. Is that because walking is not feasible? I'd prefer to walk if possible. I'll have no luggage.

Also, I am considering visiting Bath (by bus or train), and would love to know if the experts on this board think this is feasible in a day.

Thanks very much,
Jeana

We are taking a cruise from Southampton to Rome on August 8. Our question is what is the cheapest way from Heathgow to Southampton? Also would you suggest us to stay in London the night of the 7th or travel to Southampton and stay there. We would appreciate any help you can give as our funds are limited.
Thank You.

Will be arriving Southampton Saturday April 25, 2009 on the Grand Princess. Understand a taxi will be necessary to get to the bus terminal for the trip to Heathrow. Does anyone know if the taxi company will accept US currency (or possibly credit cards)?

hi,
I will be on a cruise on the QE II in October 22nd-27th and 2 days before that cruise and 3 days past the cruise I would like to explore the area around Southampton, mainly :
Beaulieu - for the car-museum
Stonehendge
what else is there to be seen ?
I would like to do these excursions by public transport or by organized bustours

I understand that there is a taxi ride from the cruise terminal at Southampton to the National Express bus station.

Please inform me the name of the bus station that I should ask the taxi driver to take us to. Also, how much does the taxi drive cost?

Are there are any other private bus companies operating from the cruise terminal or the bus station, and are tickets available when we arrive?

Thanks for the help.

I'm going to be very lazy and post this question for a friend, rather than doing research.

What are the cheapest and fastest ways to get from Southampton (cruise termination) to Heathrow (one cheapest, one fastest)?

What are the cheapest and fastest ways to get from Southampton to Stansted?

Thanks experts!

Hi,
Could anyone let me know if there is a backpackers/youth hostel in Southampton? Preferably near the docks.
