Parking for August cruise
Discussion
Hi all,
Happy Friday!
We are embarking on a small 5 day cruise in August with Royal Caribbean, which is the first time we've been on a cruise since our honeymoon in 2006
For context we will probably spend the night before departure in a premier inn nearby and we can board from 11am onwards so hopefully no mad rush.
There seems to be a lot of options for parking in Southampton, ones that pick up the car for you, others that you drive to but keep the keys.
When I look at the reviews it seems that certain places have a good year then something changes and there are a few complaints depending on the time of year. The question I have is what parking have people found best to use recently in the last few months? any recommendations? Would parking on someone's drive be a better option perhaps with a Just Park type app.
Cheers,
Austin

My preference would be:

That's the official one and I've never had a bad experience with them.
However, if you're staying over at the Premier Inn at West Quay, the multi-storey next door isn't a bad shout. Parked in there plenty of times. Can trundle down to the port at leisure then.

Just to say I agree with this, used it a couple of times, short walk and car is safe.https://www.abparking.co.uk

Anyone know why they don't support P&O? I'm doing a cruise with them later this year and gone with the included car parking for now, but looks like they keep the keys, which I'm not too happy about.https://www.abparking.co.uk

Just contracts dependent on who owns the cruiseline.P&O would be under Carnival which means their parking is with:

Never had an issue with them either to be fair, chances are there'll keep the keys as your ship may well be docking in a different terminal to the one you depart from. So they'll move your car etc.
