Wondering how long Immigration/Custom takes arriving at Heathrow and Southampton. Every country seems to be different, in the Philippines there is a quick immigration check but zero customs check. Returned to Gulfport once , something was up, unusually high number of CBP agents and supervisors, took us hours to disembarkation

About how long does it take to clear customs in Southampton?

Trying to find the answer to the same question. If you use Royal Caribbean transfer they say flights not earlier than 12:30. unfortunately all direct flight to Seattle are earlier so we are thinking about taking a 4 day post cruise tour. To make it easy arrange your airfare through Royal Caribbean and their transfer,

The ship docks at 5:30am in Southampton. What time can I expect to be on the pier if i do not carry off my luggage?

Arriving in Southampton at 5:30 AM, what time can I expect to be on the pier? We have arranged 3rd party transportation and tour

Oasis of the Sea is a great choice, we went in September when its the cheapest, and yes there was a hurricane but the ship re-routed its stop and we hardly noticed it when aboard.Use royal Caribbean to book you cruise and flights, it anything goes wrong their responsible to correct it, much easer. Had a friend that was cruising when Katrina hit and they were delayed one day at sea. The people that booked their own or used a travel agent were busy on the phone. Royal Caribbean took care of those that book with them. Entertainment is fantastic, strongly suggest my make reservation online before you go. Had a nice balcony room overlooking the Boardwalk, but the ac was not very cold, might have because it was on the same level as the garden. Ocean view balcony is a better choice

Does anyone know if they charge to see the doctor aboard ship and how much? Did a cruise awhile back on the Oasis of the Sea, my left leg was swelling and I felt bad but blamed it on the heat. I didn't seek medical attention, blew off my symptoms thinking seeing the doctor would be very expensive. Lucky made it home and was hospitalized with four DVTs and a pulmonary embolism

Thanks, we are doing the same, but I think I will also have to stay an additional day as the latest departing flight is 11:30 am. just more time to enjoy

We are flying out of Seattle however the party we are going with is leaving from JFK. y You have much better choices for arrival and departure times than I. Are you planning on using Royal Caribbean transfers?

Thank you, The description of Kinderdijk says its "strenuous". My wife is 79 and walks every day. however a lot of stairs or inclines may be to much> Hope strenuous did you find it?

Going in October aboard Explore of the Seas on the Dutch & French Adventure and would appreciate shore tour recommendations
