South Eastern Trains to Dover Priory at 23 and 553 minutes past

boggle! How many minutes in your hours? /b!

I think the alternative universe in which the District Line goes to
Charing Cross has 568 minutes to the hour (and 60 ml = 1 imperial pint
of course).
;-)

Options to connect with trains to Dover Priory a

Piccadilly to Barons Court, then District to either Victoria or
Embankment (short walk to Charing Cross)

Piccadilly to Piccadilly Circus, then Bakerloo to Charing Cross

Heathrow Express to Paddington (quicker but more expensive), then
Bakerloo to Charing Cross or Circle Line to Victoria.

Alternatively take the Bakerloo to Waterloo, and catch the train from
Charing Cross at Waterloo East.

None of these routes are obviously "better" than the others. You'll
need a taxi from Dover Priory station to the cruise ship terminal (it's
over a mile).

I suggest you use the TfL Journey Planner at
http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk and ask it for a journey from Heathrow
to Dover Priory, "Station or stop at" *Dover*, at the desired date and
time. When it asks you to choose a Heathrow station, choose either
T1-2-3 or T4 Underground station. Ignore the further choice it asks you
to make about Dover (or just choose Dover (Kent)).

You should then get some sensible options for your journey.
