I think the (night) ferry is the most comfortable way to start an overseas holiday. No worries, no driving, and waking up fresh .... to begin driving on the wrong side of the road.

Good relaxing break for the whole family. Great Ferry!

This ancient lugger, generously rust-spotted on the outside doesn't get better inside despite massive price (£560 for 3 people, 1 car, 2 cabins return). The filthy corrosion streaked paint spotted windows did nothing to enhance the experience.

Since the suspension of the Zeebrugge-Rosyth crossing, Zeebrugge-Hull is the best way to get to Scotland by sea

Me, my partner and two friends took the ferry for a short break to Holland for my Birthday during the Easter Holidays. Taking the ferry as transport was a great way to extend our vacation because it added an extra 2 evenings to our trip, although it ment a lot of waiting around due to us docking at 9am and not being able to check in to our holiday accommodation until 4pm, this was the same on the way home in regards to we couldn't board the ferry until late afternoon.

We stayed in a basic Cabin which was small and chlostrophobic but it is used purely to sleep in because there was plenty to do on the decks.

The Buffet Dinner was great value for money and there is plenty of dishes to choose from, the quality of food was'nt amazing but that is not expected as we paid £16 per person and we deffinatley got our moneys worth.

Evening entertainment was average, was quite karaoke like, small band with singer performing obvious popular mixed songs from various years. We found the drunken Stags on the dancefloor more entertaining.

Drinks were averagely priced for a ship/ holiday, we stuck to the cocktails at £5.00 served in a half pint sized glass, overpriced for a cocktail and the measurement that was provided but they tasted good.

We were very unhappy on the return journey to Hull, the Ship was different; unclean, the entertainment was embarrasing, half of one of the bars on the outside was cornered off by tape and NO ENTRY written in chalk across the floor in scruffy writing. There was at least 3 school trips on board, running down corridors and giving no consideration to other people on the ship, I was knocked down stairs by teenagers barging past me on more that one occasion.

The tannoy sounds in the cabins and all around the ships quite loudly. In the morning we was awoken at 6am announcing what time the breakfast was going to be open by a receptionist, we was then reminded what time the breakfast was going to open and details on breakfast a short while later, there was then a recording of breakfast details in 3 different languages, after that the Breakfast was then announced as open at 7am. Between 6am and 9am when the passengers started to disembark, there was a pointless announcement at least every 10 minutes such as; currency exchange closing, Duty Free shop Closing, Breakfast is closing, best wishes to individual guests abord ship. The receptionist conducting the announcments didn't sound like she has the best customer service skills as it sounded like she was speaking to a flock of sheep whilst giving commands to dis-embark.

Dis-embarking the ship too a hour as every individual passport was being checked. There was 1 member of staff checking. We then had them checked again entering the Port.

The ship had its faults but generally it was a really nice way to travel, I couldnt fault the way to Holland as it was a very relaxed atmosphere, all staff were extremley friendly and helpful and I deffinatly think I will be travelling with P&O again.
