Very comfortable crossing. Very hospitable friendly staff willing to assist with dietary issues with no hesitation. Facilities were excellent

So expensive for a small vehicle and driver it's no wonder there were so few cars and passengers, I think I will fly in future.

Thank goodness they showed 'Senna'. Of course on this route there is time for three movies. Can't complain, it does what it says on the tin. Eight hours. A rather empty boat in Jan, so rather dull atmosphere. But no excuse for drab. dried-out, unimaginative food. Expensive too if the film is for free.

We arrived at Cairnryan with some trepidation on 29th December as it was blowing a gale, but were pleasantly surprised at how well the new ship coped with the conditions.
Our 2 boys (aged 3 and 2) loved "the fish" in the sensory area, which occupied them for the outward journey. So they were particularly disappointed when, on the return journey (2nd Jan), there was a fault which meant "the fish" were not working!
It was most frustrating, as a family of 4, to reach the seating accomodation and be almost unable to get seats on either sailing! We are most curious about the order of loading vehicles onto (and off!) the ship - there appears to be a system, but not one which favours families. From our perspective, this wants a serious re-think!
Hopefully do better next time, Stena!

The return trip was not enjoyable. Travelled on Thurs 29th Dec to Belfast and back to Cairnryan on Thursday 5th Jan. Outward journey no satellite for T.V. lounge for most of the voyage and the film was not shown till at least half way through the trip. On return trip satellite signal was working! But the facilities for paying passengers was poor. I had to mention that the Safety Announcement was not given after the captain announced our departure. The Safety announcement happened 30 mins into the voyage. I paid £199 for my trip and felt like a second class citizen. I have travelled with Stena regularly over the past 20 years with my car and I am now considering flying home and hiring a car for the same price!! Shame on Stena Line.
