Day 15 – 14th September
2014 – Southampton
Awake at
06.30 and the ship is berthed alongside, where we had originally joined the
ship.
Breakfast in
the Princess Grill; where we said our farewells, to all we had met, and looked
after us.
Our
suitcases had disappeared from outside our cabin just before midnight; we left
our stateroom at 08.30 and made our way to the gangway. A last check at security and into the
terminal, quickly located our luggage, onto trollies, through immigration and
customs which was very easy.
Made our
way along to the CPS (Crew and Passenger Services) desk. Given the car keys and directed outside the
terminal into a car park, on the other side of the road from the ship.
Amazingly, the car was parked not too far
away, in a bay with ample space around, to get the luggage loaded.
Within an
hour of leaving the cabin, we were out of the main dock gate and heading north,
on our way for the 350 mile journey home.
The cruise
had been absolutely fantastic, achieved all I wanted to do, with added bonuses
on the way. The upgrade was unbelievable,
with the opportunity to see other parts of the ship, which were excellent.
Meeting others from all parts of the world,
when you put them all on a ship, they are drawn together, making the effort, so
everyone enjoys themselves and remembers the experience.
Cunard were
wonderful throughout, they know what quality means, which is maintained from
the Captain to the Cabin Boy, I thank them all for a marvellous cruise on a
spectacular ship, Queen Victoria.
I can only look
forward to my next cruise.
