Disembarkation in Southampton

#1

Post by Cromarty Firth Pilot »

Still more questions regarding disembarkation.

1. If we opt for self disembarkation from Arcadia at Southampton, are you allotted a specific time to leave or can you leave at anytime after disembarkation starts?

2. At which deck do you disembark Arcadia from?

3. Is there only one disembarkation gangway or are there several?

No you have to disembark at the allotted time as you have all your luggage with you and if you were able to disembark at any time it would be a danger to other passengers. I believe that if you do not use the allocated time for self disembarkation then you are made to wait until all other passengers have disembarked.

Not sure as it could be terminal dependant.

I’ve been on Arcadia a few times and if I recall correctly, it’s on and off at the lower level, I believe deck one.
Empty vessels .. and all that

I wouldnt worry at the moment, as I understand itnall of Arcadia cruises have been cancelled until July.
Some passengers only had 4 days notice. Problems with staffing and the water system.
Staff are to be redeployed.
