One of the best parts of cruising is how carefree it can be. You do not have to rush from attraction to attraction, figure out where to eat, or map out complicated transportation.

The Belgrave Hotel was a great location, a little off the main London touristy area, yet close enough to a train station that we could easily walk there. The rooms were comfortable, and the bar and restaurant downstairs were wonderful. There were also several great dinner options within walking distance, which made our first nights in London relaxing and easy. We decided to have a private driver take us from London to Southampton because we did not want to lug our luggage onto a train or bus, and that worked out perfectly.
