Planning:
I am off on my life long dream trip to England, Scotland, and Ireland. I fly out July 9, 2026 from BNA airport at 8:40pm and arrive in London at July 10, 2026 at 10:50 AM.
I won’t be able to see much of London since a shuttle will pick me up and take me to the cruise ship port. I am supposed to board the Holland America Nieuw Statendam. I find it odd that I don’t know what time I am supposed to board the ship, and I can’t find the information anywhere on the site.
This is what Copilot says:
Check‑in / boarding typically begins ~11:00 AM–12:00 PM
General boarding continues through mid‑afternoon
All passengers must be onboard no later than ~1.5–2 hours before departure → For a 6:00 PM sail‑away, final boarding is usually 4:00 PM (sometimes 4:30 PM)
Flight Information
I will be leaving the house by 2:00 PM on Thursday, July 9th to head to Nashville. My flight on British Airways doesn’t leave until 8:40 PM but I want to leave plenty of time for travel and to check in with my bags and wheelchair at the airport.
I will arrive in London at 10:50 AM on Friday. I will be picked up by shuttle to take me to the Holland America Terminal port in Dover.
The ship is supposed to depart by 6:00 PM to travel to Rotterdam.
