I thought one of you would come up with some idea not on the
internet. Including your suggestions, I have the following options.
EASY but not cheap with no changes in mode of travel
Limo ----way too high
Cruise line transfer $160 (but I am too late to book)
CHEAP but not easy
Bus------ National Express from airport but the 11:00 bus is only
scheduled to arrive Dover at 15:00 and one must still get a taxi to
the cruise port. about $32.00
In between
Train for about $100 but must change in London and one must still get
a taxi to the cruise port.
In conclusion, If we are quick out of the airport, we are going with
the Bus or Train from Victoria Station. If we can not be in Victoria
by 11:30, I am renting a Hertz car for $106.
Thanks
