Perfect location to prepare for our cruise, that is, arriving early from overseas. Plenty to see on our rest day before the cruise.

We just spent one night there since we were taking a cruise the next morning. Overall, Southampton seems like a lovely place, but we've only been there a couple of times to overnight before taking a cruise.

Clean city and nice museum about the Titanic.

The Tudor House was excellent. I learned a lot about the Pilgrims from the waterfront monument and their free guide book. The Titanic route, ending with tea at the remains of the Southwest Hotel was interesting.
