This company is awful.

This company never confirmed my booking. I asked 4 times then they sent me a postcode ?????
I asked to cancel and they said I could not have a refund because it was more than 14 days since I booked. Well yes it was - I’d been waiting for a confirmation I never got. Emails and phone calls were not answered then eventually they were very rude.
Do not book with these people they are awful.

Hi Katie,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We are concerned by your comments, as they do not reflect our booking or cancellation process at Southampton Cruise Parking Services Ltd.

Firstly, we believe you may be referring to a different company, as there are several businesses operating with similar names. We have no record matching the details described. We have requested further information privately so we can investigate properly.

For clarity:

• All booking confirmations are sent automatically at the time of booking to the email address provided.
• In cases where a customer cannot see their confirmation, it is usually located in the junk/spam folder.
• Our full address and postcode are clearly displayed on our website along on our confirmation letters
• we answer all our phone calls, its diverts and even answer out of hours in the evening . if we miss a call we always call bac.

Regarding cancellations, our policy is clearly stated in our Terms & Conditions:

Cancellations made more than 14 days before the scheduled travel date receive a full cash refund, less a £20 administration fee.

Cancellations made within 14 days of travel (but more than 48 hours before) receive a 50% refund issued as a voucher.

Cancellations within 48 hours of travel are non-refundable.

If a booking was made more than 14 days ago and travel is still more than 14 days away, a refund (minus the £20 admin fee) would absolutely apply.

We pride ourselves on professional customer service and clear communication, which is why we are keen to clarify this matter.

Katie, please contact us directly at:
support@southamptoncruiseparkingservices.co.uk

or call 023 8212 7049

We will gladly investigate and resolve this if the booking relates to us but we honestly believe its not us.

Process was as advertised

Process was as advertised. Friendly greeting on arrival. Mini bus driver very informative. Collection process was seamless and quick. Car had been kept undercover and was ready to go.

Safe and efficient parking for cruisers

We were welcomed at the reception, and the car was checked before we were delivered to the cruise terminal without fuss. On our return 5 weeks later, we were collected from the terminal and taken to our car, which started without a hitch (it helps that the cars are kept under cover), and were quickly on our way home. We'd be very happy to use this company again.

Parking for Southampton cruise …

When we arrived the first impression was a little different. But as soon as we met the team we were given a friendly welcome and were reassured by the team. We saw the indoor parking, which is ideal. The drop off and collection to the ship was excellent and timely. We will use the service again 100%.

Very Rude unhelpful chap lining up our car

Start of our Cunard cruise was being met with a very miserable and rude man lining up our car. Not helpful at all and made us feel like an inconvenience, then the lady checking over our car was polite and helpful but was rushing us and trying to take our keys before we had even taken our cases out of our boot. Not a great first impression of cps, as didn’t feel very professional or give us pleasant start to the day of our cruise. Will look elsewhere next time and won’t recommend to friends or family.

A real nightmare …

We were very very disappointed at the Service of Southampton CRUISE PARKING services. After a two week cruise trip, we waited at the terminal for an hour and a quarter in freezing weather. When everyone called to be collected we all got the same voicemail! No one in the office would answer any calls!!!!
The queue had 40 people with two weeks of luggage and the van could only take 12 people at a time. In our experience, this company is a pure disaster and so beware we regret we did not pay the extra and park at the terminal car port!

GREAT SERVICE

We had to make a late booking on a Sunday , the day before our cruise. The people i spoke to were so helpful and reassuring , they helped me to book and explained the whole process. They sent me an email that gave a detailed breakdown of the whole process. We found the centre easily , staff were waiting to take the car and help with luggage, we were soon on a minibus to the terminal , the driver explained where to wait when we came off the ship.
When we disembarked we easily found the queue by the flag, the queue was long but we didn't wait long . Our car was parked up ready for us to leave. I would definitely use the service again, all staff were extremely helpful and professional.

We used Southampton cruise parking…

We used Southampton cruise parking because it was close to the port, and inside parking. All the staff are very welcoming and friendly. They were also very helpful with cases, bags. putting them in your car.
I would definitely use this company again
