Outbound: When the boat arrives without much delay, I do not understand why we leave almost an hour late (with no explanation), cannot get into my cabin because given the wrong code, and thus overnight rest reduced significantly. Cabin clean though and arrived on time. On return, even though the ferry has been docked all day and the vast majority of travellers have arrived over 90 minutes before a 1700 STD, why loading is only commenced at 1620 with a consequential rushed and late departure is bewildering. Still good value and convenient (for me) though and arrived pretty well on time. Will definitely use again. 8.4
Overall the journey's were excellent. Only hiccup was the boarding at Portsmouth. It took ages. Well past sailing time and it took place during torrential downpours of rain. 7.0
A leisurely if slow way to get to Paris. Everything basically OK but frustrating to wait a long time for luggage upon arrivals and wifi does not work and apparently has not done so for years. A rather shabby tired look to the operation but the staff try hard and the food though not exceptional is better than average. 6.4
The problems we had with this particular crossing were; we used the parking facility at Dieppe - they do not have facilities to accept cards for payment?? There is also no cashpoint near. I was made to drive to find a cashpoint in order to pay for parking on my return. The other problem was in Dieppe - no transport to the town from the ferry terminal?? A bit awkward when you have lots of luggage! 6.0
We thought that 1 1/2 hours wait to check in was too long on the outward journey it was 45 mins only. The loading went well, and the food was accapable (fish and chips) we found no reclianing seats although they were advertised, the sailing was fine and on time. |
