Give Sonya a raise!

After discovering the day before our cruise that we had correctly booked our complimentary parking, you can imagine the panic! With zero expectations, I rang CPS and spoke with the lovely Sonya who went above and beyond to help us. I also want to thank the Parking Manager also who has helped us first time cruisers avert disaster and ensure the trip doesn't begin with additional cost, anxiety and frustration!

First time user of CPS and first time for a cruise based at Portsmouth. Very good experience from beginning to end. Clear directions beforehand and from the moment we approached the terminal itself we were welcomed by friendly staff making easy the process of unloading the car and handing it over for parking. A porter quickly transferred our luggage to the reception area of the terminal. On our return we found the CPS reception desk in the terminal who explained where our car was and handed over the keys. No holdups or problems exiting Portsmouth docks. Very well done CPS. Not cheap but you get what you pay for.

First time user of CPS and couldn’t be happier- very easy following directions - young lady checked our booking and took photos of car - very friendly and helpful - at the end of our cruise CPS desk was easy to find - handed receipt over - walked across to car and off we went! Pity the satnav sent us wrong trying to get on motorway! Will definitely use again!

Very helpful staff who get you to and from the ship.

Very helpful staff who get you to and from the car park to the terminal and back. It is cost reasonable and efficient. The area they use as a car park is safe and monitored but is small and requires close navigation. You need to factor in the time from Pagett Street to the terminal. They can advise as the traffic in that part of Southampton can be quite busy. A very good alternative if the closer to the embarkation parking spots are fully booked.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

Cruise and Passenger Services (CPS) is a meet and greet valet parking service. From the details in your review, it looks like your experience was with Cruise Parking Services based in Paget Street, which is a completely separate company.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer friendly, easy to use service. This company went out of their way to take care of our vehicle that had a security issue that Land Rover Jaguar were unable to fix before our cruise. From the moment we arrived at the cruise terminal CPS staff identified our vehicle while we were in the queue awaiting check in and every CPS member of staff we came into contact with was aware of our vehicle issue, clearly the instruction regarding our vehicle had been communicated to the team very well. We were informed of how CPS would look after and protect our car whilst it was in their care. This immediately put us at ease. We have used CPS many times as we find their customer friendly, efficient service very convenient and easy to use. We have used CPS as part of a cruise package and also as private a customer when the cruise operator had no parking places left. We would not hesitate to recommend CPS to anyone, the team have exceeded our expectations delivering excellent customer service. Thank you to each and every one of you, you really put us at ease to ensure we enjoyed our cruise.

Works well ..staff lovely very welcoming look after your car. it’s so easy to park at either Southampton or Portsmouth (used both) might be bit more expensive than other car parks but for me with it being right at the terminal it’s a plus they take your car and luggage giving you time to relax after a long drive

Aggressive and abusive staff

On arrival (Mayflower terminal, Southampton) the scene was chaos- cars everywhere, no staff and one security guard sending me into a lane that once down, I was told I was in the incorrect lane.

Furthermore the security officer was not displaying an SIA badge.

I was then ushered through another lane through some cones to where I should have been where I was approached by an aggressive car park attendant who shouted at me to move or he won’t let me on board (!).

I informed him I was there as his staff told me to be there due to them sending me down the wrong lane but he berated me in front of my family and again threatened to have me removed from the cruise.

I drove off and joined the queue further back than I was before and took a further hour to drop my car off.

Having sent an email I have now been informed that all staff are sub contracted and none work for CPS !

Beware leaving your car here - they subby all work and take no responsibility.
