Hi i'm David and you're watching Cruise Show UK, welcome back to the channel.
In this video we're in Southampton and we're going to be getting on board the Sky Princess
for a three night UK staycation cruise
normally we would drive here but today we've arrived on foot so let's see what happened.
We've arrived in Southampton, it's taken us about two hours to drive here from Gloucestershire
and the normal car parking CPS, which we would normally use, that was fully booked so
we've had to look for alternative parking and we've chosen Marland's. We've used it before,
it's a couple of miles away from the port, um but it is quite convenient. It's right next
to the ASDA supermarket and it costs about eight pounds uh per day to stay here, uh,
which is actually cheaper than the CPS parking but you do have to factor in a taxi or an uber,
to get to the port, but it doesn't take very long so uh, yeah it's a good option
and they have, there's about five or six bays of electric car charging which is really convenient
for us. We've just ordered our uber to take us to the ship. it's gonna take about five minutes
and cost about six pounds according to the app um, that's absolutely fine. It is too far to walk so
uh, I don't recommend it. We have done it before and uh, is further than you think, so yeah super
excited to be getting on board the Sky Princess today and i'll update you once we get there.
Just dropped off our bags so let's go and find out where we take our test because we've arrived
here as foot passengers, which we've not done before, so uh let's go and find out how you do it.
We've just dropped off our bags and we've just come for our test which is just across the road
from there from the ship you can see the ship just behind and the queue, is looks like it's a two or
three minute wait. Wow that was super simple, so much better if you arrive on foot at the terminal,
rather than driving the car like the other test center. Oh so impressed with it, literally one
or two minute wait to get into the tent and then once you're in, you just go straight up to a desk
they put one of these on, check your vaccine card and then you have the test. It takes
two minutes and now we're just waiting for our test result then
we can go and get on board the Sky Princess. We've just picked up our medallions it was super easy,
I've been so far, been so impressed with the process of the testing arriving by foot
,so easy and so much quicker than arriving here by car, and uh yeah we've got our medallions.
Keep an eye out for our medallion challenge video, I'll put a link in the description or I'll put it
up there somewhere, but take a look at that video we're going to be talking about all the medallion
features, what it's all about and a few little challenges for it to see how well it works,
but that's it we're going to go through security now and then get on board the ship.
It's so quiet, the security line is, we're moving so quick, there's hardly anyone here.
So excited we're just getting on the ship now, it was so easy, so quick uh please
subscribe because we're going to be doing food reviews, a ship tour and lots of other stuff,
so make sure you subscribe, you don't want to miss that thank you.
So we're on board now and just a little quick recap, it was so easy, I was super impressed
with the process here arriving by foot, so if you are arriving by foot or you're being dropped off
um it's great, perfect, the whole thing took 30 to 45 minutes um to get through and we're on the ship
and that was testing, security the whole thing, so super easy, so yeah really impressed with that.
So we've literally just got on the ship and the first thing we're doing is going to the sanctuary
to book our spot because that's something that we like to do thanks so much for watching
and until next time I will see you up on deck.
