Never again...I like this route,even though it takes longer than the P and O and Sea France ships.... I like the smaller boats..they are easier to get around...however..more often than not they are late... slow loading and unloading...and to cap it all..on the last trip to Calais..(they started a new route to Calais this year) we bought in advance a five day return ticket for £40 which was very good...however, due to unforseen circumstances, had to return one day early...and we were charged a whopping 76 euros for the difference..Wasn't as though the boat was full as it was only a 1/4 full on the return trip...
I contacted DFDS and explained about the emergency situation that had us return to England early, and they basically said "tough luck"..
Ok we all have a choice of where to spend our money, and no more of mine is going to this uncompassionate company...

Trip to meet up with some friends - crossing was delayed in both directions - However for the price I paid it was only a 2hr delay

P&O which dock at same location seemed to be more on-time departure and arrival

I have been on DFDS ferries many times, and I have always enjoyed excellent service. They are very helpful and accomodating, flexible with changing booking due to breakdowns etc. Their staff especially at Dunkerque are superb, I couldn't thank them more.

I'm a frequent Dover /Calais traveller at least once a month
LD Line boat very clean, shop overpriced and under stocked, no special offers. Huge boat tiny shop, they need to go on a P&O boat then get themselves a good marketing manager. you've got a captive audience and a poor show. I bought my ticket from AFerry.com £10 cheaper than brochure price,
GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER LD/Norfolk. 1 star for catering as its unknown to me as I did not use it, its not meant as a bad mark

We use DFDS regularily on trips too and from the continent because they give a good, reliable and friendly service and as I have mobility problems I am always treated like a VIP
