Celebrity Transfers

In September, we are traveling to London pre-cruise before our Transatlantic adventure. We purchased air and transfers through Celebrtiy but we have arranged our hotel for four days on our own. Does any one out there know if we can use the transfers between London and Dover if we have arranged our own hotel? Could we arrive at a Celebrity Hotel the morning of cruise, and be allowed to board transport to Dover? If not, any suggestions for travel? Is there a train, and what is involved...costs, luggage, etc.
Thanks to anyone kind enough to help!

We will be in London for 3 days prior to our cruise of 7/31/04. We did not book our hotel with Celebrity either but we took their transfers. Here's what Celebrity told us to do. On the day of sailing we have to be at the arrivals terminal at Gatwick by 11:30 am in order to catch the transfer bus to Dover. 11:30 is the last bus going to Dover. We plan to get to Gatwick by 11:00 am.

We are doing a cruise there 7/05. We aren't taking their air or transfers. The train goes right to Dover, as do motorcoaches from Victoria station. There are also private cars available.

Hi Gallerygirl,

We are sailing on the Constellation trans-Atlantic cruise on Sept 7. We are also arriving a couple of days early, but do not have transfers. Traveling back to the airport can be a real hassel, with taxi fares of about 40+ pounds for the taxi, or handling your luggage on public transport. I would advise you to get your TA (or contact Celebrity direct) to get your transfers issued for the transfer from one of the package hotels. If you are unable to use the Celebrity transfers you might consider taking the National Express bus that leaves from Victoria Station bus depot about hourly for Dover. You can get information on the internet (www.nationalexpress.com) about cost (10.50 pounds) and schedules. There is also rail service to available to Dover.
