Spirit of France entered service a year later than her sister ship - Spirit of Britain, and with her shares the title of the largest ship to have been built for the Dover Strait. Onboard you will find an international food court, bar and cafe, discounted shopping, a brasserie, games room, family lounge, bureau de change, free WiFi, an ATM machine, an exclusive club lounge and much more.

Onboard Cabins / Reserved Seating

There are no cabins onboard the Spirit of France however seating is available in the club class lounge. Pre-book to enjoy a touch of luxury during your trip including a complimentary glass of champagne, tea, coffee, soft drinks and newspapers – all served by P&O Ferries friendly staff.

Onboard Food and Drink

With a choice of bars and restaurants there really is something for everyone onboard the Spirit of France to suit all tastes and pockets. If you are travelling with the family then head to the Food Court, serving exciting cuisine from around the world - the place for a tasty curry as well as freshly prepared traditional British fare, like fish and chips! If you prefer to dine in style, why not try the Brasserie, with the highest quality food and wine served to your table.

The onboard coffee shops serve a selection of light snacks and pastries - plus a wide range of hot and cold drinks, including the famous Costa Coffee.

Check out the Bar for a fun and lively atmosphere and a perfect place to socialise whilst enjoying a drink. Those travelling with children may prefer the family lounge which features comfortable seating with a bar, light snacks, tea, coffee and soft drinks on offer.

In the summer months there’s also an alfresco bar.

The onboard shop also stocks the latest in travel entertainment aimed at making your journey more comfortable, including the latest best-selling novels, toys and games for the whole family.

Travelling with Children

There's a variety of activities onboard for children including play areas and quieter spots for watching videos.

"P & 0 was good, directferries not so good"

I booked my trip through direct ferries which I have done on several previous occasions. However this time I experienced a number of problems with direct ferries. It is extremely annoying that you cannot contact them at all easily. For a couple of problems I had to contact the ferry companies I was travelling with directly, which makes me realise I should have booked with them in the first place. For my outward journey I travelled with P&O ferries.They were easily contactable and helped me with one of the issues I had. When we arrived at Dover they were helpful too and I was pleased with the whole check in process. The journey was good but given it was a morning crossing it was really sad that there was no cooked breakfast option as there used to be, but that is my only criticism of them. Everything else was fine.

"Expensive but the best value on this route."

The ticket was 2x more than I used to pay pre Covid. The boat was empty (169 passengers, out of a capacity of 2,000 people according to Wikipedia. The ticket cost a lot more than a few years ago - maybe if the price was lower more people would travel, or maybe post Brexit there are just fewer passengers but the same number of ships. A breakfast box (bacon sandwich and a hash brown) was £10, and a chicken sandwich in sliced bread was £4.50. I saw no one eat on the boat either going or coming back, but I guess someone must of. If the prices were lower then they would sell a lot more. The passengers prepared to pay these prices have probably paid extra and used the Tunnel anyway.

"Only one complaint"

Service is great abd extremely efficient. We travelled as foot passengers both ways. Our only complaint is that the booking tells us we must check in a minimum of 90 minutes before sailing so there is a long wait for boarding as you watch loads of other people walk up who only arrive less than one hour before.

"Brilliant for dogs"

Went from dover to calais, to my pet dog and I got told there was pet lounge where I can take my dog on board. I can say it was brilliant having our dog next to us. It has a charge of £6 per person plus £6 for the dog. But I can say it was money well spent, and also included free refreshments and treats for the dog. Even had a space where the dog can roam off the leash. I can just say perfect.

Despite the long waitingline at customs before departure in Calais, that made us miss our boat, we could embark easily on the next boat. At our return, we were too late due to traffic jam, but we could still embark in the latest minutes, thanks to a very fluent customs control.

"Do not travel Calais to Dover as a foot passenger "

Terrible experience - old ship, total cluster on boarding and off boarding foot passengers. Hrs queuing to get on the boat, getting off took longer than the crossing. Chaos. Do not take this route. P&O doesn’t want this route or foot passengers ship dirty, food bad. It appeared safe that’s the best I can say.

"Delay Problems"

DFPA152113712 We booked on the 22.05 Calais to Dover 19th September, which was postponed till 00.10. But it did not leave until 01.30, so we think P&O should offer compensation as it has affected business and private arrangements for us in the UK on 20th. Direct Ferries handled the booking and amendments in an exemplary fashion. Could you please pass on the comments above to P&O. Thanks!

"You had to ask...!"

Ferry delayed by 2 hours, and as one of only 6 foot passengers we re put on a shutt bus and taken to have our wallets emptied at the café, where I had the very worst burgerking in history. Then we had to sit back in the bus for and hour. Not doing that again... The the £4 coffee on board was evil. Trip back the next day, still on piano, looking forward to a cooked breakfast only to find that it's now a breakfast "wrap" or a kept warm breakfast in a plastic p potty. Pee and No from me never again.

Ferry crossing was fine, ship is very dated and massively in need of refurb. HSE procedures clearly lacking as a group of us got locked in the car deck with all access doors sealed shut.

As a first time traveller as a foot passenger more information would have been useful. Advice on the procedures to follow would have greatly helped. This compared with travelling as a car passenger was much more stressful and even something as simple as an assembly point for foot passengers would have helped. Otherwise good but a long slow journey.

"Terrible booking platform, not helpful at all! "

When booking initially, I tried to book 3 or 4 times but the website kept freezing and I had to restart the booking process, I eventually managed to get the booking confirmed, however, when I got to Dover, I was told that my booking had already passed and then had to pay an additional £60.00 to board the ferry. When the website crashed it must have reset the dates (My fault for not checking). I was told that I could amend my return booking for free as it was 24 hours before departure. I did this immediately with the help of a member of staff, only to find out at Calais on my return that AGAIN the website had froze and not confirmed my changes, I was left having to pay another additional £60.00 just to get home. I had explained what happened, but nobody wanted to know, they could see we had tickets, they had space on the ferry but nobody offered any solution besides taking more money. In total it has cost me almost £300.00 in ferry fees! Really disappointing!

"Great experience"

The return trip was managed efficiently even taking in consideration the boat departure schedule changes that were made on the day of return sailing. There seem to be a little disconnect between the operational it systems used as the officer completing check-in procedure wasn’t aware of the most up to date sailing schedules. However the alternative arrangements were made quickly to accommodate extra passengers on the different boat and we all reached home safely. Thank you very much!

"Expect long delays "

The trip to Calais was spoilt by the 4 hour delay at Calais going back to Dover. Half the booths at border control were empty. Therefore hundreds of passengers had to wait hours in long queues to get through. Awful for those with young children. Would definitely not recommend. P&O need to sort this out. This is a man made issue, whoever deals with border control and cannot keep blaming brexit. Brexit happened a long time ago now. Put the facilities in place to get this sorted.

"Terrible service "

It was bank holiday weekend which is understandable but we arrived for our ferry with 30 mins to spare not knowing we had to be an hour early, we were told we missed out ferry by 5 mins at the check in, the next ferry we were meant to board was also delayed by another 30 mins. Then we made sure we got back in time for our return ferry just to be told there was no space on that ferry and we had to wait another 2 hours again. We had people who needed to get back for a certain time, therefore we expect to go for the times we booked.

"Big problems for foot passengers"

There are big problems for foot passengers in accessing the port at Calais. We set off to walk from town following Google maps direction that said 20 minutes so we were quite relaxed to get there 90 minutes before sailing. The Google maps direction took us misleadingly to the old P and O port where we were lost and late and upset. There were no directions for pedestrians and only hostile fencing and main roads. A kindly member of office staff at the former p and port there arranged a lift for us to the new terminal. We had missed our sailing and upset by the experience at the end of a great trip inerrailing. We then took the next sailing accessible to pedestrians 3 hours later. You must update the location of the new port with Google maps. Give better instructions to foot passengers including location of port, place to meet a shuttle bus if required, and signs on road/pavement for foot passengers. We personally will never use Calais port again.

"P&O TRANSFER FROM DOVER TO CALAIS"

I really appreciate the staff in Dover who managed to put us (12 persons, foot passengers) to the transfer even though we arrived 25 minutes after the check-in term. Unfortunatelly, foot passengers have to leave the ferry last in Calais, after all vehicles have left the ferry, which caused 25-minute delay and we missed our train from Calais-Ville....

"Vey good"

The staff were friendly, although clearly inexperienced. We arrived early to avoid the queues and were pleased to be allowed on an earlier ferry. The ships were clean although the return ship was much nicer than the outbound one. British boarder control in Calais was the only disappointing element of the crossing. Exceptionally slow and questionned us about our relationship to one another which was strange.

"Terrible time getting on and off the boat and connections "

Connections at Calais non existent - both times had to walk 5km to Calais because of no bus or taxi connections. Really unbelievable. Getting from the ferry terminal is still chaotic and slow with clear confusion between ground staff, multiple passport/security checks etc. Once on the boat everything was fine but I would not recommend Dover crossing as a foot passenger ATM because of the embarking/ dis-embarking issues.

After recent news about P&O and travel to Calais, we were a bit worried about our crossing. We had booked club lounge for the first time, it was clean and comfortable there were hot meals in boxes about 6 different options, tasted fresh. Also sandwiches and snacks to help yourself to. The lady working kept everywhere clean, maybe too clean as was clearing tables while guests were still eating. The crossing was smooth with no hold ups.

"Family trip from Dover to Calais"

The trip outward and inbound (Dover to Calais) ran to time with no delays. Staff were professional, polite and very present (lots around to assist if needed). There could be a few more food / coffee outlets on board (possibly more concession type stalls). Having only two main outlets (open to most travellers) was a bit limited on the return journey (when the ship was very busy - late Sunday evening). Possibly WiFi access and a little more for the younger travellers (i.e. bigger play area or video walls playing childrens programmes). 7 out of 10. Would absolutely recommend, but those changes would push scores up.

Booking with Direct Ferries was online and easy with confirming emails received.Journey outbound to Calais was straightforward and efficient. We changed our ferry time as permitted for the return journey to 12.35 and received email confirmation from you. On arrival at P@O check in they told us that they had not been informed of this and that DF often failed to pass on these changes. However P&O allowed us onto the ferry fortunately. We loaded 45' late after a 2 hour wait to pass through UK Border control -utterly painful in the hot weather

"Better communication "

Our return trip from Calais was delayed due to an incident involving a bus but the big screens were not working and there was no communication explaining the delay. The screens should also be used to inform waiting drivers to keep their engines off until it was time to go to help reduce fossil fuel uses and to reinforce sustainability targets. The facilities (shop for food) was limited to a small number of vending machines which was poor, and surely a missed opportunity

"Chewing leather"

Whilst I understand the problems with mass catering and pre preparation of food. The pizza was an absolute disgrace; the area which had topping on it was only about 1/2 of the circumference of the pizza but the quantity of tomato paste was so sparse that it was sufficient only for about 1/4 of the pizza, not only that, but neither was the cheese as sufficient quantity as that, nor was it remotely recognisable as cheese whether by sight, taste or even from the list of ingredients. The base itself was like leather, so basically the entire pizza was inedible and a complete waste of money, perhaps the box it came in might have tastier.

Eventually departed at 0245. A 6 euro food voucher per person was offered in lieu of a breakfast which was being served at a cost of 9 pounds!! Eventually arrived 6 hours late (and 6 euros compensation). Not acceptable. The meal vouchers were issued hidden inside the boarding pass, we weren’t told they were there and found them after we had eaten so had to ask for a refund from the manager. Very poor.

I had booking to go from Dover to calais before yesterday, on my check in the ferry company told me your booking is wrong ,they said I booked calais Dover. When I ring this people to change it they took £39 . I been travelling to France more than 40 times in last 15 years. I will never use this people again. I made complain but no answer.

"Trip 17/12/2019"

Generally pretty terrible, early morning sailing but still left 30 mins late. Crowded to the point that I could not find a seat. Breakfast was expensive and almost cold, water for tea was warm not boiling. Delays on arrival due to French industrial action. Ship was dirty in canteen and toilets and the whole experience was to be avoided.

"Great service"

Great value for money. I had to change the reservation from foot passengers to car passenger, and over the phone it was quick and easy and I even got money back. I booked the flex ticket and Club Lounge access, and we were able to take a Ferry an hour earlier than the one we originally booked as we were early, that was great. The Club Lounge was great, lovely service, clean facilities and so much less hassle because there weren't as many people. All in all, great deal.

We were parked so close to each other that everyone found it difficult to get out of our vehicles. We were travelling to our daughters wedding and my wife's dress was soiled in our attempts to move it so she could get out. Wouldn't mind if the ship was packed but it was almost empty on the car deck.

"The cheapest, but.."

-It was the cheapest I could find online, but I couldn't enjoy myself onboard. In the seating areas it was full of romanians sleeping everywhere with their feet on the tables, no shoes, the air inside was stinky I have even seen someone in a sleeping bag in front of the lift. The situation was worse towards England. I know this is not the company's fault, but because of this uncomfortable situation I would rather pay more and take the train next time. +The staff is really nice and we liked the duty free shop. Boarding and leaving went smoothly and fast. Toilets were clean.

"return trip from calais to dover"

absolutely disgusted with the lack of compassion shown by P and O ticket office at Calais, I phoned on my due date to return and asked if it was possible to get an earlier ferry as my Grandaughter was admitted to hospital with severe breathing difficulties, I was told that if I explained my concern at the port office he would assist if possible, when I arrived at Calais I was informed that I was too early and not possible to get an earlier ferry unless I paid the £60 extra charge, I tried to explain but was told it was company policy to make this extra charge, I was and still am totally disgusted with your attitude, it was not as if the ferry was full/ far from it. I have sailrd with PanO Ferries for more years than I can remember and even used the cruise ships when I travelled to Singapore back in the 60\70s. all in all not a good experience.

"Bad day for P&O"

The crossing on 27th at 0920 was ok apart from hundreds of very noisy children but the Company cannot be blamed for that. Those teachers? Certainly could have briefed their children and ensured they considered others. On arrival the foot passengers waited and waited but nothing happened the ship was unloaded and still we waited. After more than 30 minutes a Coach arrived to take us to the terminus. No one to lower the ramp appears to be the cause but a lack of info didn't help

"Cross the channel"

P & O and the frequency of the crossings work well for most including me, facilities at Dover if you do find you are queued waiting on the next loading are fine - cafe - seating area, toilets etc etc. Same can not be said of Calais whose miserable vending machines and toiletes are best avoided so get there not expecting the same level as Dover. Passport checks do seem to be taking a lot longer now ( possible getting ready for Brexit)? so be aware that you could be in a queue for over 20 mins as we were. On the boat all is fine, motorbikes have to tie them selves down ( Britttany Ferries do this for you P & O...) but its only a few who don't know how to use a ratchet strap. Food offerings good and ready for when you embark, shop has some very good deals on wine no doubt to compete with the supermarkets in Calais but don't knock it! Will be using the same crossing again dependant of the useless bunch in Westminster finalising things but they want us and we want them so lets hope when the overpaid prats are out of the equation real people will sort it all out and we can get on with our lives.

"Return trip customs concerns"

With 12 plus customs lanes on what one would always assume to be a busy time, we were suprised to only find 3 open, 1 of which appeared to be being used for training a new member of staff. Whilst it is important everyone is trained to a high standard, one would think that this could be done during a quieter period, or at least when there are sufficient other customs team available to process the number of travellers. 55 minutes to travel the 400 odd yards from the 1st set of customs booths to the last prior to the P&O booth is a bit much. Having said that, P&O are not I believe responsible for manning the customs checks but nevertheless put us on board the very next ferry with no questions asked. Customs 0. P&O Ferries 1. Blinding.

"Ferry was great, shame direct ferries isn’t!"

Booked a last minute trip to France through direct ferries, Yes the prices looked great, Yes you can compare all the sailings at once and yes it’s pretty straight forward to use. But I don’t expect to receive my confirmation email with completely different sailing times to the ones I had selected, and when I called up to find out why this was, the blame was being put down to me and my so called incompetence! Absolutely rude! Travelling back to Calais we ended up getting caught with traffic from a accident, called up to see if we could change the time of out return journey - full well knowing we would have to pay which wasn’t a issue! I was put on hold for longer than I atcually spoke to someone, and was advised I wasn’t able to change due to the “ticket deal” I had paid for, the one I wasn’t aware of, and wasn’t stated on the confirmation! Overall wouldn’t used direct ferries ever again! Book direct with Ferry companies, so much easier! P&O themselves couldn’t have done more for us, the ships were lovely and the staff went above and beyond!

Check in and customs straightforward and quick. Club Lounge - great service and reasonable food if you need a bite to eat. Enjoyed the complimentary champers, tea, coffee etc and Sunday papers on the way home. Would definitely travel again with P and O - the only downside - the appalling state of the motorway network when we got home - what a contrast to travel in France. Constant speed restrictions, jams, roadworks and contraflows all the way from Dover to west of Reading made the homeward journey a real pain and make us wonder if we will fly and rent a car next time.

"Hassle free crossing "

After arriving early we were immediately offered an earlier ferry at no extra cost, so happily took it. The crossing process involved driving straight onto the main deck, which was very close to the door for the upper decks. Whilst once at our destination we were straight off and quickly on with your journey. When using the upper decks I found them to be tidy and clean, with sufficient seating for everyone both inside and out. I didn’t eat I’m afraid, so can’t comment on the food. Good value for money overall.

"Communicating amendments to the ferry company providing the actual service was a problem"

I booked a flexi fare via Direct Ferries for my wife and myself, Dover-Calais-Dover. It became necessary to amend. Long waits on the phone to add my extra passengers. Confirmation received from Direct Ferries. Four days before departure I received an email "confirmation" from P&O naming my wife and myself but not the other passengers. I called Direct Ferries, long wait again, and was told that I should contact P&O myself if concerned. Thus we arrived at Dover and my additional passengers were queried but allowed on. Thus our anxiety was allayed but not due to assistance from Direct Ferries. Next time I may well book direct with the ferry company rather than via an agent, the price was not greatly different and we would have been dealing with only our principal service provider.

"Very disappointing at the end of a very long drive"

We were booked on the 9.55pm P&O crossing from Calais to Dover on 31st August 2019. We had paid extra for access to the lounge on board We drove 9 hours+ to reach the port at 8.45pm. There, we found long, slow moving queues through UK passport control. Once through passport control, vehicles had to shuffle (with difficulty) into correct check-in lines for either P&O or DFDS Seaways. Again, these were very slow moving lines. By the time we reached the check in desk, the departure time for our ferry had been and gone. At the desk, there was no explanation or apology for the extreme delay. We were simply told that the earliest ferry we would be put on was the 11.35pm which was delayed to 11.50pm. We were also advised that there was no lounge facility on the ferry and that no refund would be possible on the ferry. No discount, voucher or apology was offered. I find it fairly appalling that, on a clear, calm, fair-weather day, P&O, the Port of Calais and the UK border force could not, between them, enable customers who had booked and paid for a crossing and arrived at the agreed time, to board that ferry. It is particularly disappointing that P&O could not offer some sort of recompense on the spot. The actual ferry experience was very poor with limited service in the snack bars, shop and restaurants leading to long queues (AGAIN!) and passengers forced to lay in corners and corridors because there appear to be fewer seats than are required when the car decks are full. The final weekend of the UK s summer holiday are always going to busy so there can't be any excuse for P&O, the Port of Calais and the Border Force not to have contingencies in place.

"Very Good"

First time in decades I've travelled from Dover and I was surprised how good this crossing was. Well managed, comfortable sailing with good facilities. Not much choice in the shop though compared to Brittany Ferries which is a much longer crossing of course. All in all, I recommend this route with P&O Ferries. After we checked in on our return journey, it was chaos! The motorhome wouldn't fit at the end of the lane we were given sticking out on the road in the way of lorries. We had to walk to the top of the lane and ask passengers to move up as huge gaps were left between vehicles. A warden is appointed on the boat, you need one on the lanes.

Wife and I had a pleasant journey on both ways. From check in to disembarking, all straightforward with no issues despite a short delay on the journey back The only part of the journey that was a let down is in fact the behaviour of inconsiderate passengers who were lying down and stretching themselves on seats and sofas to sleep, thus reducing the seats available for the more educated people.

Very efficient, the only downside was it cost a additional £35. Hey ho, good start to holiday! On the return journey we arrived late at night for a ferry early next morning. We were offered a night ferry at a cost which we decided to accept. €65 extra. But this time it WAS our choice. Great facilities, good crossing, helpful staff. And so hot we treated ourself to a lollipop!

"Delays "

Ferry out was delayed due to poor weather - understandable and completely uncontrollable. Ferry back was also delayed - no apparent reason, certainly not weather, hugely inconvenient. On board is perfectly fine for 90 mins - we don’t use the food outlets apart from the odd drink or snack. The kids like the ferry but honestly I think I’d go tunnel next time.

"Recommend Flexi ticket and P+O"

Highly recommend using P+O ferries and buying a Flexi ticket. Due to forecast adverse weather conditions on the day we were due to travel,(Sat 1Oth August) we were quickly and easily able to swap our booked ferry crossing to the day earlier, and on arriving at Dover slightly earlier than our crossing time, were offered to travel on the earlier ferry, both outbound and return journey's. Great service. Thank you.

I looked around online and managed to have a crossing with euro tunnel for £100.... P&O is useless and unhelpful to their customers.

"Great outward bound trip, diverted to train on the way home"

Travelled out on the Pride of Kent which is in great condition and had no problems, just as we usually expect from P and O. On our return the live sailing posts were indicating long delays due to bad weather and also the huge volume of holiday traffic. We needed to be home the next day and had 3 young children with us so bit the bullet and got the Eurotunnel. Glad we did as our ferry was delayed 5 hours, which would have meant 6 hours at Calais with no facilities

"Sailing with P & O to Dover"

Strong winds in the Channel caused delays in the service from France to the UK. There was a total lack of information from DF and the operator, P & O about the expected delays until I reached Calais and had checked in despite each company having my email address. I happened to hear from another passenger that Twitter contained some information to the effect that there were first 90 minute and then 150 minute delays expected. I was told when we checked in that there was a 3 hour delay and the information boards stated, alternatively that there was no delay to the 17.25 service and much later that there was a 5 hour delay and later a 5 1/2 hour delay. This information was only imparted once we were trapped within the check in lanes without the possibility of making other travel arrangements or staying overnight. In fact the delay was 6 hours meaning that on top of a 300 mile drive to reach the ferry in France I was faced with the 200 mile drive home in the middle of the night and my wife and 2 children were in the car for a total of 16 hours (4 to reach Calais, 8 waiting for the ferry and 3 to get home). The winds had been forecast for at least 24 hours and the wind speeds were abating during the day to around 21 knots gusting to 45 by early evening. P & O must have known what this was likely to have meant in terms of delays yet they totally failed to communicate this to the waiting passengers, even through the medium of Twitter which many don't have access to. There were no personnel visible on the dock and the notice boards provided information which was incorrect and inadequate and only imparted the key information that there was likely to be a 5 hour plus delay when people had already been waiting for at least 3-4 hours and when it was too late and impossible due to being penned in to make alternative arrangements. There was a tiny toilet block and a couple of drinks machines on the dock for thousands of passengers and no refreshments were provided until we got on board the ship after most people would have been waiting 8 hours (9 hours plus by the time many got served). This was a very poor experience for thousands of passengers for which P & O seem mainly responsible.

"Awful"

Turned up at 3.15 am for a very at 4.30 due to chaos in the port and general crap management by P&O was finally on the 8.30 ferry alongside people who had only been in the port for an hour, refused to come back with P&O and came back with DFDS, unfortunately the windy conditions were poor so had another wait but DFDS were apologetic (no-one from P& O could be bothered). But I am afraid if the ferry's don't modernise in relation to ticketing traffic flow and customer service a only the desperate will travel this way.

"Unfortunate"

On both journeys we arrived on time but missed boat on both occasions. Not P&O's fault but the passport control for France and uk took so long we missed the boat and had to wait a long time to catch another boat. Very frustrating as our day was over by the time we arrived at our destination. On way back it was the weather's fault and instead of been on the boat at 18.45 we left at nearly midnight. I arrived at my home at 5am the following morning. There was no info as to what was happening. As I say not P&O's fault but it has changed the way I will travel in future. The boats were both fine but really the experience of the ports was not a good one. I think they must do something or they may lose you a lot of custom.

"Trip 1/8/19"

The prices on board for food were incredibly high. Bring your own if you can! Our ship out of Calais was an hour and a half late... arrive 3 hours prior if you want to make your voyage time out of France! Our trip out of Dover was perfect, no delays and all went smoothly. The first ship out of Calais was super old and two of the toilets I went to were clogged and overflowing. Everything was dingy and dirty. The seats were ripped and stuffing was falling out of some. The second ship out of Dover was much newer and generally cleaner.

"My experience "

I would suggest to please book ur tickets directly from the carrier, they might seem bit more in price as compare to Direct Ferries but when it comes to do any change, it will cost you arm n leg. I booked my tickets via direct terriers and was suggested to book flexi tickets in case I would require to do any changes, this way I won’t have to pay anything extra, trust me no difference, I requested a change a date and was told that it will cost me 45 pounds . I decided not to and reached Calais without a change. P&O was not only helpful but also changed me only £20 pounds. They also did me a huge favour as to my surprise the ticket I was sold as Flexi ticket was actually not the flex ticket. P&O could have made me buy a new one but they were courteous and only made me pay a mere £20 pounds. I would never use them ever again.

"Great trip but port authority "

As I class myself patriotic and so proud to be British. Myself and my beloved spent 10 days in France to see if we would have a better life abroad after what is happening in this country at this present time. I can honestly say when we got to Calais we were both looking forward to getting back home for a nice cup of tea. And the ashes highlights on the telly. Hang on a minute. Forget that. Dover reers it’s head I am sad to say. What a complete and utter joke. I honestly don't think anybody actually had a clue what they were doing and if i witnessed tonight the British customs and police on border control. With my own eyes I cant wait to move out of the UK. No information. It took nearly 2hrs to get off the dock area all they were interested was in freight and not families with young kids and when we get to security control after all that time. To actually see our protectors of our proud nation lent against the barriers laughing. Fours hrs later. I get home just after 11 with still a young one to pick up from grandparents. With hand on heart. The love for this great nation is slowly by surely slipping away

"Don’t waste your time"

I had booked the ferry to and from France for a bike trip. On the outward route, Dover was chaos - the ferry was due to leave at 0925, and the email had said the last check in was 45 mins before departure, so, I arrived at 8am thinking this would be ample time. How wrong I was. Dover itself was traffic chaos, with congestion everywhere. Thankfully I was able to filter through most of it, so still got to the Harbour early. It took hours to get to check in, passport control didn’t seem to be checking passports etc, the delay was simply at P&O check in, which had a lengthy queue of cars that didn’t seem to be moving at all. Eventually, when I got to check in, I was told I’d been moved to an 11am ferry. I waited hours in the queue with the staff not even bothering to explain what the delay was. In keeping with the spirit of delays, the 11am ferry was late... I eventually got on board, and as soon as I did, I was greeted with a massive queue to get near any of the restaurant area. The endless delays put me behind schedule for the rest of the day, and ruined day one of the trip. The entire experience was so poor, I booked the Eurotunnel for the return route, which was much much faster. I’ll be using the tunnel in future, I’ll never be back to the ferry route. My advice to anyone would be to get the tunnel, don’t waste hours of time trying to get a ferry.

"2 hours delay - no information"

We arrived, as requested an hour before departure. It was Thursday, 25th July, the probably warmest day of the year. But the boarding was delayed because of hydraulic problem with the gates. We were waiting at least 2,5 hours in the sun with 39 degrees Celsius, no shadow and no information. It seems to be a wonder that none of the passengers got serious problems with health. P&O should invest in a information system. Either by mouth or with the big screen in front of the terminal. Free softdrinks/ice and a honest information was missed. It was an extraordinary day, but the way P&O was coping with it was embarrassing and unprofessional.

Very helpful gentleman who said that we may need to go on next one but messaged ahead on our behalf. Made it by the skin of our teeth-Message had been picked up. Smooth boarding.

This is a good way to travel to the rest of Europe. But the price of a ferry is way too expensive as the people who run this ferry not consider the other things people have to get in place, to make there life and there family comfortable. The food on the ferry is where too expensive. Some people save there hold life to make one holiday of there life to to see the price for. Tickets and food on the ferry price is so sky high. Soon the average man and woman can not travel anywhere in this world. Sorry to see the world is coming to this. If you not rich you cant travel you cant eat and drink.

Except on the way back - but that was our fault - we came off the E16 where the lorries go instead of staying on the motorway for the "cars exit". But the staff were all pleasant and helpful.

"Disappointing "

Overall I was disappointed with this service. Having initially booked through this site and not p&o direct as it seemed a cheaper deal. However when I needed to amend the booking by removing 2 passengers out of our vehicle I was charged £35 for the service. This was disappointing and subsequently ended up costing me more than the quote from P&O direct. I honestly think this service should be amended free of charge. There were no time changes or ticket changes just removing 2 customers who ended up travelling in their own vehicle.

"Strong dissatisfaction"

The arrival at dover was horrendous. Fortunately we arrived nearly 75 minutes before departure, yet reached the car deck with two minutes to spare before ship sailed!! There were long lines at all three stages, passport, security check and check in. Passport was worst, only two lanes open, with more than four full lanes of cars waiting. Security was a total mess, surly staff, clearly going slow, and the check in failed to give us our club lounge tickets. By the time we reached the lounge and negotiated entry without our tickets, my wife and I were resolved to never travel by ferry again. It was not only slower than Eurotunnel, it was more expensive and significantly more less pleasant! What's to like/ The return journey had none of the same problems. Plenty of friendly helpful staff at Calais. Dover harbour should be ashamed of themselves! James Lee

"Foot passenger experience"

If you're thinking about crossing the channel as a foot passenger on a Dover to Calais ferry my advice would be: don't. The entire infrastructure is built around cars and there is nothing in place to make the foot passenger's experience pleasant. * Both Dover and Calais ferry terminals are completely isolated from other public transport: you will rely on taxis if you can find one. * You will pay the same price as if you had a car * Getting from the terminal to the ferry is extremely uncomfortable: it involves a bus journey, there is no dedicated passport control on the British side which means you will queue with the coaches, and passport control on the French side is like crossing into a middle-eastern war zone * BEWARE: someone will come and pick up the foot passengers to take them to the bus, there will be a *single* announcement on the tannoy, if you're in the loo, buying a drink, speaking on your phone, having a cigarette or distracted in any way, you *will* miss the bus and have to wait for the next ferry. * BEWARE: the ticket says you have to be there 1h before sailing time. This is not true. The bus leaves 1h before sailing time, so really you should aim to be there 1h15min or 1h30min before sailing time. We were at the desk 1h before sailing time on the dot and were told that the bus was leaving and that we would have to wait for the next ferry.

"Waiting a long time"

Sitting one hour waiting for the ship leaving the harbor after sitting an hour waiting ashore before loading is really demonstrating inefficiency in managing the ships. Comparing with the service between Roedby and Puttgarden where typical waiting time is less then 15 minutes including loading of cars and trucks. I understand that your ships are bigger but anyhow. Interesting to see persons to clean up some mess close to the bar. It took them half an hour to clean up with only partial result. One person full time managing and two persons working.

"P & O experience"

I was disappointed that my booked ferry was cancelled and I was automatically re booked onto the later ferry. I arrived at the port of Calais and pulled up to the P O kiosk, I was asked if I would like to take the earlier ferry at an additional charge of £60. I explained that my ferry had been cancelled and paying an additional £60 was rather expensive, and was there enough room for us? Yes, was the answer, it's not full, but you will have to pay an additional £60 or come back in two and a half hours. I declined to pay the extra £60 and I left the compound with the intention to return in 2 1/2 hours. I drove out of the gate, back into the terminal compound and queued again at passport control, I drove to a different P & O booth where the assistant was very helpful, I was offered the next ferry with no additional charge. I was the last one to drive on to the ferry which was half empty. This experience turned out to be totally unnecessary.

"Good value for money, clean with everything needed"

We took the Calais to Dover Ferry on 26/12, it was late leaving (about 30 minutes), but it was a heavy travel day. We came back from Dover to Calais on 29/12 (departure at 15:40), which was much less crowded. Overall, a positive experience. We had intended to go to London (from Brussels) by Eurostar, but it was far too expensive (about 540 EUR for three passengers, for the round trip).

"Top price travel with substandard facilities"

1)Excellent friendly staff but not much of them 2) ship stank of pee even though it seemed clean enough. For the money you pay its shabby. 3) Not enough seats for everyone so had to sit on the floor!! Let’s hope they had enough safely boats should anything happen. I must say that the staff were all lovely. The check in was far two long resulting in us having to get on the next available ship; this happened on our return too. I felt that we were just cattle. For £180 return that a huge amount to pay to sit on the floor. Next time I’ll take the train. On a positive the staff (if you found one- always plenty in the shop though) were delightful but I will not ever travel on a ferry again.

"Dover crossing to and from Calais"

The ferry was a fun way to travel to and from France as a foot passenger. My husband and I were the only foot passengers on both journeys. This meant we had a very personal service taking us through security and customs etc. We had a pleasant journey and found the experience quite enjoyable. Only issue we had is when we arrived in Calais there was no P & O bus service although P & O had a poster hanging up on the foot passenger exit to say that a bus could be booked before docking. That was disappointing as the Calais staff were concerned for us that the taxi they eventually booked for us may not arrive due to strikes. So that was worrying. In the end we spent €40 to get to Calais Frethurn but could have avoided that if we had gone to Calais Ville.

"It all depends on the ferry you cross on."

We had two good crossings but our return ferry (I don't recollect the names of the ships) was very much in need of some care, looking old, and very bedraggled. The toilets were okay, obviously having been cleaned fairly recently but the ladies smelled. Although it was still before lunch, there was a limited range of sandwiches and the £5 charge for a pasty or similar is ridiculous. The chairs and sofas were also 'tired' although did a decent job for an hour and a half rest.

Both journey through and from England is such an enjoyable trip. the timing was great as well as the dining that they have on board. but if only that we could enjoy the breeze outside instead of being inside would be better (open deck should be made available)

I have a touch of dyslexia and booked an £88 return, however I'd put 0645 instead of 6.45pm, missed my return, and got charged another £72 to get home. Ferries are dated junkers too.

"Nice ferry really comfortable."

Had a really nice crossing Ferry was spacious and comfortable only downside we wanted fresh ir and did not realise there was a smoke free deck so ended walking fthrough the smoke area I have copd and sadly this caused me a flare. Please put signs highlighting smoke free deck . The staff were lovely onboard but sadly back in calais the check in clerk was not very helpful we were charged an extra £60 to travel a day early as both myself & my husband were unwell this was very annoying as a couple talking to the next clerk changed thier travel day at no extra cost very unfair ( I have renal failure so not a trivial illness ) I will use DFDS in future due to this £60 is a huge amount of money to us.

"To Calais with Love"

Went from Dover to calais in September. Arrived earlier than expected and was put on an earlia boat that was just boarding, brilliant! got there sooner than we thought. Again on the way back the same thing hapenned, it is not easy to judge the timeing due to traffic and I suppose they try to squeese vehicles on where than can, which in turn probably helps out if someone is running late. Overall the short crossing was good going but a little ruffer coming back due to high winds, they were also running a bit on the drag, also due to the winds. The seating areas were comfortable and the boat was clean. Used the cafe, food was OK and plenty of room. We forgot to arrange the Dartford Crossing Tolls and did not have their number, a visit to the info desk produced a slip of paper with all details. Boarding was easy although a bit confusing getting through the passport control to the lanes, more so in Calais.

I travelled from Calais to Dover on the Pride of Kent. Nice boat. Getting a bit old though. But overall, a good experience. I travelled back on the Spirit of France. That was an even better experience as the boat is brand new. On both travels, the staff members were great. I may say as usual as I've been travelling with P&O for about 20 years now and I have never had to complain.

"expectations of food "

All the facilities were as I expected them to be, as reflected in the criteria below. However I was surprised that, given the date of the weekend, (early September, end of school holidays) and the number of bookings made and paid for, that there was a shortage of staff to cater for all the passengers. I was refused entry to the Brasserie because there was only enough staff to cater for only a half full restaurant, I had to queue for 45 mins for the Food Hall and so had only 15 mins to eat a meal, and therefore could not finish it. The meal itself was well cooked - rather pricey £10 for fish and chips, The choice of food at each bar was just adequate. It would have been useful if an announcement had been made to warn passengers when food would be stopped being served.

Just arrived home to uk after using P&O ferry Dover to Calais. All very straight forward and easy. Would recommend paying additional fee for priority boarding and private lounge area. We were first on and off which eased the travel. Only negative was Calais port we found not as well directed or sign posted as Dover and had no services whilst queuing unlike Dover which has cafeteria and toilet facilities.

"Great service, friendly staff and smooth crossing"

We arrived early for the first crossing and managed to get onto the earlier ferry, a bonus as we had a long way to drive in France. The staff were friendly and helpful. Everything was clearly marked and easy to follow, I hadn't been in a ferry for years so was glad to see how simple ticketing and boarding was. We had breakfast on the way out (high fat but tasted nice!) and had an uneventful crossing, with some good shopping and we enjoyed sitting on the outdoor sun decks. The journey home was seriously busy, but again it was simple to get into the right queue, board and then enjoy the shop facilities and outdoor bar! All in all a fun and speedy way to travel with your family France. I would use this service again with my family.

"Awkward experience"

For years I used to take the ferry back and forth to the UK with P&O and DFDS. Even bought shares in P&O. then my kids got seasickness and moved to using the tunnel. Decided to use the ferry this time with P&O. Interesting to see the difference. First huge delays going through passport controls of over 30 mins which mean't by the time we got to the checkin we were too late to go on our sailing which was still there despite having got there an hour before and well before the 45 mins stated. The services block is not easy to get through with traffic that hardly wants to stop. Once on board I was indicated the lane but unlike the tunnel there was no one directing me to stop at any particular distance from the car in front neither any person or announcement telling me to put the handbrake on (normal of course) but whether to leave it in neutral or in gear. i then went upstairs to be confronted by a self service serving only all day breakfast or fish and chips, there was a side salad available and sandwiches but come on the world has moved on and what about more healthy eating and the vegetarians or vegans (luckily I didn't have those 2 kids with me only the meat eater). You were encouraged to use UK currency, why is that and the markup on euros was phenomenal and change given in gbp. How come this hasn't changed. There was then no where to properly sit and we found the coaches led to people standing all overt he place with no seats. I don't remember that. Of course many years ago you could go outside in different parts of the ship and sit, now only a restricted area at the back. Someone had been sick in the stairs so it smelt everywhere, it looked very dirty and it definitely wasn't the journey experience I remember years ago. Despite the journey time announced as 1 and a half hours there is the getting on and off which landed more time 15 mins or so on top of the delay. Yes its cheaper than the tunnel but forewarned on the way back I bought fish and chips in dover for half the price they are on board. Time to review your policie, procedures and overall experience.

"Dover to Calais and back and our dog"

The ferries worked very well for us. This was the first time we had taken a pet abroad and were a bit nervous about the requirements to bring our dog back. We had organised the pet passport a couple of months in advance and got the tapeworm pill administered by a vet in France. The checking to bring the dog back at check in in was done by P&O. This was remarkably simple and the lady at check in was extremely helpful. She passed the microchip scanner to us to so so it is worth knowing where the microchip is in your pet. Otherwise the loading on and off both the ferries was quite seamless and both crossings were comfortable.

Quick and easy to board. OB to France we queued virtually the whole crossing to purchase a coffee! Well it is only 1 hour 30 min. Toilets need checking more often and cleaned not just checked to see if they are still there!!

"Always a great experience"

Love travelling on the ferry. Brings back childhood excitement when driving on. Big queues going out to Calais prevented us getting on our booked ferry but it was very organised at the port and we boarded the next sailing without any fuss. Back from Calais to Dover we arrived quite a few hours too early but they kindly offered an earlier sailing at no extra cost with only a couple of hours to wait. Enjoyed the trip, service, food court, shop.

"Channel crossing couldn’t be easier."

Booking. Loading. Crossing. All excellent. Efficient process. Quick crossing back one hour and 10 minutes. Really helpful and pleasant service in the on board shop. Did not buy food on board so cannot comment on that. Straight through on returning to Dover. Highly recommend. Only downside is the awful catering van at Calais. So grab something to eat before arriving at Calais. Dover is much better with Costa, Burger King, WH Smith’s etc...

"Timings not very good"

Arrived at Calais at 14:30 for the 15;20 ferry as requested and waited in line - at 15:10 eventually got to the ticket office only to be told that I now had to wait until 16:05 for ferry. Would therefore think about adjusting time of arrival. Many of the people we spoke to on board were booked onto the 17:00 ferry and were therefore on an early ferry having received messages to get there earlier. Consistency needed here guys!

"Summer Holiday Travel"

We had to replace our car before the trip and it was easy to make the amendment online. We turned up early on each leg of the journey and wear loaded onto an earlier sailing. Good for our onward travel plans but it meant we were loaded later than the majority of passengers on-board and struggled to find suitable seating for the journey. Tried to ring during the holiday to formally amend our sailing date/time but the "customer service" line kept bus on hold for 20+ minutes so we had to give up.

"Going back to the Tunnel"

I have no real comment to make about the actual ferry and the crossing. HOWEVER, when P&O know that Border Controls by UK and France will take at least an hour why on earth ask that travellers arrive 45 minutes prior to sailing time when they are aware that there will be such a delay the traveller doesn't even board the ferry at the time requested. Goodness knows what will happen when Brexit kicks in! Thankfully we don't travel back to the UK that often. The ferry operators need to come to grips with this situation - it is P&O who get the bad publicity when there are delays not the Border Control AND please don't treat the travellers as stupid, we know that it is the Border Controls that cause the delay NOT 'technical difficulties' Please provide better facilities for the delayed travellers as well. My comments relate to both sides of the Channel!!

"Avoid using Direct Ferries"

Our crossing was fine, but we changed car a couple of months ago. Trying to contact Direct Ferries and change the number plate was impossible. Ended up dealing directly with P&O. Why can’t Direct Ferries answer phone within 15 mins or publish correct email address or provide a self booking system that allows you to make simple amendments. Lesson learnt, go straight to ferry company in future.

Massive delays at the Calais port, both at English and French passport control and at P&O check-in, meant that I was pushed to a later ferry.

"Day trip"

We caught a ferry ⛴ to Calais for day trip to Brugge. We arrived at the recommended 45 mins before departure and waited in traffic to go through tickets and just managed to get on the boat in time. The ticket person was friendly. The journey back was awlful - wind and rain left us stuck in the car on a concrete car park for an hour and a half. It was a bumpy ride with people vomiting all around the boat. They did not seem anyone cleaning it up and some parents thought it was ok to just sat in the eating area holding their children vomiting in paper bags. There clearly needs to be some rules for this. The person who is the announcer on the loud speaker needs to be able to not mumble as we could not understand the announcements.

The outward bound was spot on however the return was an absolute joke we had managed to get to the port early and was informed we could get the earlier ferry at 6:40 however we didn’t load until 8:30 and it took over 2 hours to get to Dover so from Calais to Dover took over 7 hours from port to port which meant we didn’t actually get home until 5am when our original estimated time of arrival was 11:30pm

Despite the supposed speed of the tunnel thought I'd go for the ferry as a chance for a bit of fresh air. Even though there were queues because of the school holidays still got on the booked ferry and on our return having arrived early we managed to get on an earlier ferry. Boarding was quick and efficient, the ferries were clean and good choice of foods.... the only thing that hasn't changed since I used to do RoRo to the continent years ago- those drivers who start their engines long before the ramps are down, bizarre.

"Don’t travel with them during July and August"

Usually The P&O Ferry experience is one that doesn’t evoke a negative response but this time Alas it did! To start, a return journey of just 2 days would usually cost £45-£50 but travelling the day after schools broke for summer hols this cost was £170???? The car was a Vauxhall Corsa?! You’d be hard pressed to find a smaller car other than a fiat or smart!! Entrapment is the word and the Government should evoke a new Law to prevent this Scandal!! On top of this 4 fold price hike, due to Car issues an earlier Ferry was needed to return home. That was another £60 to do so?? and that 01.30 Ferry was near empty??!

We would have returned them but the thought of loads of people still waiting to be served was just off putting it was awful, just too many a the same time , also what made it worst was that it was £17.00 spend on 2 dinners which were well overpriced and cold

"Good, but..."

On my way to Dover, I was very early (1 hour 30) and the employee at check in proposed to board the next ferry 20 minutes later, without extra charge. So that's what I did and I was very pleased with this arrangment. But on my way back to Calais a few days after I too was very early and so asked for the same plan, which was approved too but with an extra charge of 70 pounds! I agreed because I did not want to wait too long but I thought this extra charge was quite abnormal and abusive (almost the price of the crossing itself). I was quite disappointed and angry : if the boat was not fully booked and had room for me, why apply this absurd penalty? Especially since I finally embarked on an very early ferry, whose price is usually cheaper, wheras I had paid a higher price for my ticket!!!

"Supplement for a person who was unable to travel."

P&O asked for a £10 amendment charge because one of our party was unable to make the trip after all. This makes no difference at all to P&O (the price is the same for 3 or 4 people), and there used to be no charge. I consider this to be a disgraceful piece of money-grabbing. Furthermore the lady at the desk in Calais was not pleasant about it (my poor mark for staff competence reflects this - no problem on the ship itself). I plan to call DFDS to see if they behave in the same customer unfriendly way. Happily our next crossing is already booked with DFDS.

"Great overall .. and one suggestion"

Very easy trip, well organized check-in, clean ferries, lounges, WCs, and facilities. Good food in food court Suggestion: as many people are arriving having driven a long way, and could use not so much a sleep, but just resting the "tired bones", possibly more "resting"-type of chairs in the lounge. They were a few "couches" and small upright chairs and I kind has to sit uptight on a narrow bench and not get any lumbar rest for my continuation drive. A little haven of peace and quiet would be nice. I know lorry drivers are doing hard trips and long miles, but don't forget the drivers of cars are also, so .... maybe the "lorry driver lounge" type of concept could be extended to at least the "designated" driver of cars (not whole family) and I say this for safety, not for snobbiness. I had a 1100 km trip, so I felt a bit left out (and had to sit in a noisy lounge) when seeing lorry drivers get a nice place for their peace. Maybe a similar thing might be included for a tired driver, which is usually one per car (and as long as others don't abuse the privilege). A peaceful one hour with feet up may be a long term safety consideration. Maybe a "quiet room"? Overall it was wonderful, but got no relief for my lower back

Ferry was late (calm sea, clear weather), after 20 mins. wifi did not work on the ship for the 2 GBP, server error. Very-very noisy bus tripper students, not a single calm spot on the huge ferry.

"Direct Ferries"

Absolutely nothing wrong with the P and O ferry that we travelled on.However we received very poor service from Direct Ferries. Having broken down on the French motorway, I spent half an hour trying to get through to DF by mobile to inform them we would not be in time for our ferry. Little sympathy for our plight and a charge of £60 to book onto a later ferry. Will never travel by ferry again, as those who run the tunnel crossing are far more accommodating than ferry companies.

"Lovely journey"

We had a 4 hour flexi ticket which was worth every penny. We were later than our slotted time going over to France and we got on the next ferry just 30 minutes later and then on our way home we decided we wanted to leave earlier and got on the next ferry 3 hours before our slotted time, no questions asked. Waiting times were minimal. The journey itself was lovely. Amenities on board. Little family area which was a god send for us with 3 children. Lots of space aboard. Couldn’t fault it.

It's sad that the ship was delay! It was the same when I go to France on the 17th of May. And much too long to go out of the ferry...20 minutes. I like to take the ferry but between delay and time to go out, that made your trip much too long.

"Delayed but not P & O’s fault"

We changed sailing and were on a different ship. Spirit of GB I think. It is looking a bit tired inside compared to the DFDS ship we crossed to Amsterdam on 3 weeks ago! I would preder the other line, which I think might be French. We made a quick crossing ahead of schedule but lost all the time waiting to land at Dover due to a berth ramp failure.

"Get there early!"

The journey was fine but a bit of advice ... try get there early! We were booked on the 10:45 sailing from Calais to Dover on Friday 18 May. We thought we'd arrived at the terminal in plenty of time but we had to queue for over 90 minutes to clear the French passport check and the UK Border Control. As a result we missed the ferry, not P&O's fault at all, and they found us a place on the next crossing. Another piece of advice. Buy any snacks you might need before you go on board. I think 18€ for two fruit drinks, two bags of crisps and two sandwiches is really a bit steep, and the woman on the till was quite rude to a party of very well behaved school children.

"Early Morning Ferry to Calais"

We were booked on the 7.25 ferry to France and arrived at Dover port an hour ahead of the sailing time. Unfortunately we were met with long queues getting through passport control etc etc. Apparently this was due to enhanced security checks on vehicles, of which ours was one. We just made it to the boat before it sailed. Not what we expected at such an early hour!!! However ..... once on board and parked, access to passenger decks was fine with plenty of seating available. Refreshments were available. Duty free had a lot to offer, but prices seemed pretty high to me. Once in Calais departing the boat was easy and easy access to motorway. Journey time about an hour and very smooth sailing. All in all a good experience apart from the delay in Dover port, despite arriving in good time.

"Inflixible company"

We started our drive from Worcester at 7.00 a.m giving ourselves nearly 7 hours to reach Dover (3.5 hours according to GPS). Due to severe delays on the motorways we knew we were going to be late for the ferry crossing with P & O at 13.55, so we tried to ring Direct Ferries from 12.55 till 13.40 when we finally got through. Although we were then able to transfer our sailing to the 18.35 crossing, we were informed that this would cost us a further £59 as P & O tickets are not exchangeable. When we complained about this to the P & O representative on board, she was as shocked as we were and advised us to complain to their customer services. DFDS have always shown themselves to be flexible and we were disappointed in the response from DIrect Ferries. The ship was ok and the facilities no better and no worse than other ferries on this route.

This was my first ever time on a ferry, We travelled to Calais on an older ferry. It was very old fashioned and very tired looking, the breakfast was very expensive and not great at all.. none of us are it. But our return journey back to Dover was on a newer ferry and food and facilities were far better. Looked more modern. Much better experience. Had I only been on the older ferry I would have been put off.

"Return ferry from Dover to Calais"

I am extremely unhappy with the treatment of P&O on my return trip. I arrived at the check in about 25 minutes before departure and was told that I have been booked on the next ferry one hour later. I then saw that cars where still boarding and was wondering why I was not let on. I also saw that the ferry did not leave on time. After calling P&O whilst waiting for the ferry i was rebooked on one hour later i called P&O on the phone to complain. I was told that I can not go on the ferry I had booked on because I have been checked on the next ferry. Crazy !!!!! On my outward trip from Calais to Dover a few days earlier i was also at check in 25 minutes before departure because the security took long and there where delays. This time I was allowed on without any comments! I am considering not to travel with P&O in the future. There are other companies!

"Empty Ship and perfect service"

We had priced the trip via Eurotunnel and were horrified to be charged £169.00 for a crossing that normally costs between £88 and £93 so we tried the ferries. The direct P & O website refused to take my application three times so I booked through Direct Ferries whose web site was much easier to negotiate . Including priority boarding we paid £61 and we were treated like royalty . The boat was relatively empty and the crew were extremely pleasant especially in the restaurant. The crossing was very smooth and uneventful except for the interesting variety of passing maritime traffic .All in all a great trip!!

"Sinking ships"

I don’t like to be negative about the performance/standard of a business as I run my own and fully understand the complexities being an employer. However, the state of affairs on board the P&O Ferries is beyond a joke. I won’t point the finger of criticism at P&O for the delay coming back through customs in Calais where we were delayed so long that the ferry departed before we could even reach check in. Which when travelling with two children under 5 years of age to be told at 7.45pm that you will now be sailing 2 hours later is not acceptable. If this is a normal occurrence then customers should be ask to arrive earlier than one hour prior to boarding not pushed back by 2 hours. With that small complaint spoken of I’ll move on to the appalling state of the ships in service. On the outward journey the boat was relatively quiet, despite this, every toilet on the ship was occupied/overflowing and in such an unsanitary state it was not safe to even wash your hands. The next point I would like to make would be regarding the food served, I expect to pay over the odds for food while trapped onboard public transport (a sad truth of our business culture). However, I do expect the over priced food to at least to be edible, my 2 year old son who has an insatiable appetite could not even get trough his beans on toast or chew the over cooked sausage despite his hunger. As for my other son and my wife, they just decided to go hungry. I however knowing I needed sustenance to keep me driving safely ate as much as possible, which I came to regret afterwards. The overall state of the ship was nothing but grubby and uncomfortable. Suffice to say we will not be travelling on P&O Ferries again. Worst way to travel I’ve experienced in the western world. Appalling!

The boat we had to France was lovely - we ate and had a drink it was fabulous. The boat we returned on was lovely in the Brasserie but the toilets were flooded and disgusting. There was a massive difference between the two boats in terms of the toilet. However overall it was the first ferry trip my family had done and we were pleasantly surprised. We will definitely do it again and would recommend the priority boarding as an essential and also the flexable ticket as we missed our original ferry on the way home and returned on the later one with no problems at all.

in general I can consider both crossings very good. even with the storm when we came from england to france it did not affect on the boat. or at least barely felt. the one-way boat (france-england) was fantastic. the spirit of france super clean in the corridors and bathrooms. new, cozy and well smelling. very good maintenance. but the pride of bogonha, the boat back (england-france) the bathrooms were terribly dirty and smelled of urine everywhere. the condition of the boat should be revised because it is very worn and uncomfortable. We were very well taken care of and as we arrived early Calais we were able to go on a boat before it was going to dover and still had places. Thank you for everything, we'll be back.

"Making changes to trip"

Not at all satisfied with the way this was handled. We made changes with P&O at Dover for our trip, paid the amount requested and was told just to ring direct ferry when on France to change return time and would not be charged again. Guess what happened, after a long call from my mobile explaining I had to pay the full amount again - will never go to third party again & will book directly from P&O next time!

As usual when we travel early in the morning we went straight from the car deck to the restaurant to avoid the queues. There werent many people in the queue however food hadnt been set out so there was a wait , however the main issue was with the one person on the tills who whilst working as quickly as they could took too long to process the queue meaning that our breakfast was only lukewarm by the time we eat it.

"Timing"

The ferry ride itself was fine. The problem we had was getting to Calais too early. We were driving from Germany & were expecting alot of traffic but had a smooth ride in and were about 2 and half hours early. We thought we could go through the check in and wait inside the ferry area but the rude french official says we were too early, we would have to go back outside and wait in line again and go through check in again. It took us more than 30 mins this time round to get through check in but now it was much busier. I said it could take an hour to get through and by then it might be too late. The french dude just says yes that is true ( as in yeah your bad luck, so what...) The ticket says check in is at latest 1 hour before. They should mention on the ticket that there is no room inside Calais to park and what is the earliest time before ferry where people can rock up. The other option the french guy gave us was to pay €60 more and get earlier ferry, so we didn't have much choice. Either leave and join the line again, which was huge and possibly miss our ferry or pay more. I used some special words after that to express myself.

Deck staff parked us in a well ventilated space so dog was not at risk of overheating. Much appreciated. Travelling cattle class we were a bit short of family seating as the usual layabouts look up every space and two chairs each to stretch out. Eventually found four seats at a table with a human and so were able to sit down. Maybe a bouncer with a cattle prod could be employed to heard the cretins to a suitable sleeping area or maybe overboard? Basic catering overpriced.

Travelled to Calais from Dover and back again. The trip was very quick, the kids enjoyed the ride, it was very smooth both ways. The spirit has got better facilities for the children to play. Very clean and the food on board was good. Overall very enjoyable experience. Only suggestions for improvments would be as a first time traveller was unsure how the boarding process was going to happen and when. It said boarding on our trip on the big board but nothing moved even upto our departure time no information was given which I found a little confusing.

"Fast & calm crossing, UK Border force delays, Pride of Kent could be cleaner"

Heading out Dover - Calais: early morning ferry (08:30 Pride of Kent) - good crossing, busy but not overfull. Able to get a seat and a coffee and use the toilets with young child (well cleaned). Outdoor deck at rear was pleasant too. Returning Calais-Dover: booked on 5:15pm ferry but arrived early enough to be put on earlier one (4:05pm) - port check-in was very busy with the UK Border Force checks taking a long time and causing some people to panic about catching their ferries - hence bad driving behaviours exhibited by several trying to get to the numbered lanes for boarding. The ferry (Pride of Kent) was very full, and rather dirty - so finding somewhere to sit and taking a child to the toilet wasn't very pleasant.

Sadly I met a lady on the car deck, travelling alone. She needed assistance which I gave.

My journey was comfortable and relaxed, a little haven in the 12 hour journey home and my little dog slept all the way across in my car.

"Are Additional Ferry Charges Fair!!"

On my outbound journey from Dover to Calais I had a flexible ticket which should have allowed up to 4 hours + or – to the travel time. I arrived 2 hours late, was held in a queue for a further 1.5 hours, told that they would then have to put me on the ferry after this one which, which technically took the time to 4 hours and 5 minutes after the first departure. Neither the port delay nor them delaying my boarding were my fault, but I was charged an additional £60 by P&O for the privilege of having to take a Ferry at past 3am which would have been significantly cheaper than my original prime time boarding. I believe that they do this to create additional revenue so beware the flexi ticket which costs more and it’s useless. On my return journey I rang up a week in advance to change my trip from Friday (Which was peak time and cost to an earlier day Wednesday at 18:50 (Also ferry delayed to 7:30). However was charged again by P&O for the difference in price between these two days of another £50. I find it hard to believe that Peak Friday 18:50 is £50 cheaper than 18:50 on a Wednesday! I do this trip every year (for the last 8 years) and in the past have used DFDS, who have never charged such outrageous sums for such minor reasons which I find hard to believe can be true. To add insult to injury where DFDS always used number plate recognition and knew exactly who you were and already had a record on the screen, P&O insisted I provide them with a booking reference number! This was not readily to hand as it's the first time I have ever been asked for one. Was this to delay me past the 4 hour mark by 5 mins? Either way it was extremely inconvenient and wholly unnecessary. In short Travelers beware of the Flexi Ticket, P&O's poor organisation and cheap tricks on changes to times or days to make more cash out of you. I advise you use DFDS instead who have never done such things. Last time I choose P&O.

Crossings both ways were excellent. The ship was very clean and there were plenty of seats. The cooked food was outstanding and they got us on and off the ferry pretty smartly. We were particularly happy because we turned up early for the return journey and they got us onto an earlier crossing. The only thing I don't understand is why the prices of spirits in the shop are more expensive than they are on the mainland. Excise duty and VAT on a bottle of whiskey is now at a staggering 79%, so the price in the middle of the channel should be much cheaper.

Hi I had a long way to go to get to the ferry terminal. I got one of those flexi options but it was only flexible for 4 hour not like with DFDS. SO I paid extra for the ticket and then when I turned up couple of hours afer my flexibility has ended I was asked to buy a brand you ticket. I had a similar experience with DFDS on the way to the ferry terminal and I was late 3 hours and all I needed to pay is extra £30 and I even haven't had any flexi option.

"Punctuality"

It's not the ship that was the problem it was the timing. Both ways I arrived 2 hours early and was put on an earlier crossing. The first should have gone at 14.20 and didn't go till 15.30 and the return one was also delayed so much that the one I was originally booked on left before the so called earlier one they put me on. So not very happy about all the long delays. There is obviously a big problem in the Dover port because on arrival we sat for over 20 minutes before disembarking and then queued inside the port for another 15 minutes before being able to get onto the road. Then on departure from Dover we were unable to get onto the ship because of the again disembarkation queues.

"Early bird"

I chose the Dover Calais route because they have the most crossings and if possible I will arrive early for the ferry to make sure that I don't have delays on the way. this happened both ways and P&O were great in allowing me on to a space on an earlier ferry than I had booked. On the return journey it was 12 hours earlier and as it was a rainy day in France, for a small extra fee, I crossed the channel and had time to meet up with family for lunch in Folkstone. I was impressed that the crew had entered into a fundraising day for Lifeboats and many in the dining room were dressed in Disney outfits.

"It was ok"

We usually use DFDS for our crossings to Dunkirk but this time we had P&O for our crossing to Calais. Unfortunarely we are not very enamoured with P&O. We have 3 small children and the inky children area was a small corner which was run by lovely people (they did a lovely job) who prepared some arts and crafts. We were used to the children being able to play in a childen play area for 2 hours and burn some energy before the long journey onwards but that was not the case this time. There was a family zone' for parents and children to sit close to the children's corner but these seats were mostly taken by people who had no children meaning we had to go upstairs on the our return journey (which didn't smell brilliant). It seemed the amount of people exceeded the places to rest bt this could also be due to summer busyness. All in all the crossing was ok. Shop was nice, Starbucks to get coffee and tea from and loading and unloading was pretty quick.

Check in and embarkation were quick and efficient and we were placed on earlier ferries both ways because we had arrived in good time. On board experience was very good - food reasonably priced and tasty, plenty of choice including for vegetarians and loads of room to sit. Disembarkation took a few minutes longer at Dover but in general everything seemed to be handled professionally and efficiently. Having the car and caravan searched very thoroughly at Calais was strangely reassuring!!

"mixed opinion "

The Spirit of France was great although several more staff were needed in the family cafe to serve drinks and snacks as the teens tended to order complicated frapouccinos etc and hold places for each other in the queue. Otherwise all good. The Pride of Burgundy smelled of vomit in several locations and especially outside the toilets right next to the children's play area. We couldn't stay there or in a few other locations which were badly affected with our children and instead wandered around the boat trying to stop the kids bumping into people for something to do. I noted the name but it has put me off travelling with P&O as maybe more ferries are the same and only the Spirit of France was unaffected.

"Good ecperience"

We had a pretty smooth process of travelling on our outbound journey, but weren't told there were delays on our inbound and we're just made to sit in a queue of traffic and not be updated, which was very difficult with two small children and meant we got back to our destination much later than planned. If there was a system to display expected/known delays, this would help eliviate our frustration. Facilities on the French side were poor compared to the English, although this is not related directly to direct ferries, but perhaps acknowledging this on booking would mean we weren't forced to wait an unknown amount of time to them access the food on board. On board services were excellent. We especially liked the small children's play area and the Starbucks coffee. Everything was clean and very spacious. We will definitely be booking again as the price compared to the Euro tunnel was significantly cheaper.

"Behind the times"

First time I've crossed the channel by ferry for about 10 years and whilst most things in our world have moved forward and improved, little has seemingly changed here at all. Tired vessels, poor spaces for relaxation and too many people for the facilities and space available. Facilities at Calais exactly the same as 10 years ago and I considered them poor even then. Boarding and disembarkation was pretty good. Club lounge looked better but if you're going to fork out for that you might as well go with Le Shuttle and that is exactly what I will be going back to next time.

Our recent family holiday included a trip to Calais with P&O ferries. We arrived earlier than our check-in time so had the option of getting an earlier ferry which was great. The staff were very efficient in all areas of check- in right through to boarding the ferry.. the staff on the ferry were friendly and they kept everything very professional. I couldn't fault our experience. Would definitely use again. The price is very reasonable too considering the amount of work involved in organising a ferry crossing.

Crossing was smooth, staff in club lounge were excellent, food was great. Only one thing spoilt everything, not sure if it is down to p&o or staff at the port. We were held up by 2 accidents on the way from Holland so was 2 hours late for ferry we booked and got charged an extra £60, would have accepted it if the delay was our fault, but when it's out of your control there is nothing you can do.

"Trip to France"

Booked this trip via 'Booking.com'. Was given 3 options ie P&O, DFDS and the Shuttle Train. Due to the competative pricing (Shuttle was £60 more expensive) I went ahead with P&O, whom I have used before. At least with the ferry crossing I could take a wecome break, grab a cuppa tea and have a bite to eat. This I could not do on the Shuttle. Had to wait approx 40 minutes before loading commenced this was not a problem. Loading was swift and very well managed by P&O staff. Everything went so smoothly. Popping over Channel to Bruge in 3 weeks time so have booked the Channel crossing with P&O again. Boat crossing only takes 70 minutes, which after a 4 hour drive to get to Dover gives you time to relax and unwind. Will use P&O again..... as mentioned for trip to Bruge.

My friends and I have cut down by about two-thirds on how often we use the ferries for trips to France as the boats are always delayed. On this most recent trip the ship was as usual late leaving in both directions, in particular the return boat which was one and a half hours late! I think the outward trip was about 45 minutes late. The My Ferry boats were always on time so we know it can be done and we miss them greatly.

First P&O were excellent. Direct Ferries, on the other hand, have been an absolute nuisance! Whilst driving in France we had to pull off the toll road to check messages (GPS app on the 'phone makes reading emails whilst on the road difficult) only to find a request from Direct Ferries for a review. Persistent requests have continued. Further, Contrary to Direct Ferries published Privacy Policy, DF gave my email address to Feefo.com in breach of their published Privacy Policy and in breach of the Data Protection Act. This is totally unacceptable. My recommendation: Use P&O by all means but avoid Direct Ferries at any cost.

I've been running back and forth to the mainland for decades now; my preferred carrier is P&O. Their ships are smart, their staff from check in to driving off at the other end are always spot on...and their breakfasts last me through the day! All the facilities on board are well cared for and the choice of eating establishments well chosen. Sometimes one just wants fuel; other times the Brasserie has more appeal, as it keeps one away from the child infested herd...for the entire duration of the voyage, too.

"FANTASTIC BREAK"

Me and my partner went on a road trip around france, the ferry was perfect, everyone was really friendly, and when we got on the ferry we went and had some food on board, and I expected it to be bland and horrible (usually places like this are) but it was not! it was fairly expensive, but it was tasty so you didn't mind paying it! nice hot meal and the ferry felt like it took no time at all, the duty free shop was great too, lots of stuff to choose from (so don't stock up on your makeup or perfume before you go! get it cheaper on the ferry!) the trip overall was beautiful, we travelled all the way down to Barcelona from Calais, then back up again hitting lots of spots on the way there and back! when we got back to Calais to go home, again we was greeted by friendly people and everything went smoothly, food was delicious again and everyone on board was friendly and pleasant to speak to. would 100% go away again with P and O ferrys :)

"Easy trip to France"

Arrived early for ferry as motorway traffic not as heavy as expected, thus were put on an earlier ferry than booked. This was great as it allowed us to miss most of the Paris rush hour traffic en route. Also the return trip was a match to the outward one . Couldn't fault the service.

"Felt ripped off"

Having already paid 36.00 to change our outward journey for an earlier departure we had to then pay an additional 52.00 on the return leg as we were once again a few hours early to the boat. When you have a car full of kids the option of waiting for several hours after driving from the Alps is not viable. We didn't mind paying something extra but 52.00 seems punitive rather than helpful and was more than the original fare. The ferry was only a third full so it was no problem for P&O to fit us on an earlier boat. All in all we would have been much better off using the tunnel. In our experience they are much more flexible and understanding if you do turn up a bit early. We also found the staff in the food hall rather curt and abrasive. A shame because the kids do like to travel by ferry but it is back to the tunnel for us in future.

"Helpful and always cheaper than the tunnel for a longer stay abroad"

Another trip Northampton - South -east Norway by car and my fifth by ferry. Every single time I have compared the prices with the Euro tunnel, it always beats the price. It also gives me an hour and a half of sleep or at least rest, before driving on. This Easter going straight from work Friday afternoon on the 7th of April, turned out to be a nightmare. Traffic accidents, yes plural, on the M1 and then on the M25 in addition to a few break downs made a trip that should take no more than 3 hours take 6+.....resulting in me coming too late for my slot, but I was still admitted to which I am truly grateful, especially since heavy traffic through Germany on the way back also delayed my return trip. I will definitely go with the ferry again next time....

"I had that sinking feeling!"

Got to the terminal in good time and joined the correct numbered line for boarding. There was a line of vehicles passing in front of me and a steward waved me to join them. A second steward waved me up the ramp to board the ship. Now let me add that I did have my card hanging from the rear view mirror. Once on board I realised I was in a DFDS ship and not a P&O one! Hence that sinking feeling. By now I was boxed in and it was too late to get me off. I found the purser and reported the error. He told the Captain and then sent someone down to check I did have my card in the window (which I did). Apparently this never happens and is a serious breach of security. My passport was taken and a copy sent to the shore. Eventually I ended up in Dunkirk instead of Calais. So it added about an hour to my journey. Not P&O's fault of course. My return journey was uneventful.

"Quick channel hop"

The boat leaving Dover was late in leaving by half an hour,but soon made up the time when we left the habour. had a drink of hot chocolate which wasnt very hot!!! On the way home decided to have a meal (bad move) my husband had a nice pie chips and peas for £8 , my meal was the worst I have ever had on any ferry.I am a vegie and so next to nothing was available for me apart from a macaroni burger which arrived in a plain bread roll with a few chips for the grand sum of £8!!!!.If I had had the meat burger it looked far more apealing as per photo on the wall of restarant. A portion of chips was £1.50 so that made it a very expensive burger, there was no garnish and I had to pay for the tomarto sauce to add a bit of flavor extra 20p I get a better deal at Mcdonalds. If you eat meat then the food looked ok and was ok price wise if you dont eat meat then tough , save your money and have a MDs...

"Crossing to Calais"

We have been using P & O for many years and have always looked forward to starting our holidays with a nice breakfast meal in the "Brassier Restaurant". You can imagine our extreme disappointment when we recently boarded our ferry to Calais and found that the restaurant was not open? We were informed that P & O have introduced a new policy that the restaurant would not open if there were less than 600 passengers and that we would have to use the ordinary restaurant for our breakfast. There were a number of passengers who had arrived at the same time as us at the Brassier and were given the same details so none of us were at all impressed especially as the food ended up being luke warm by the time we had chosen our meals in the ordinary cafeteria, queued for drinks, queued to pay, queued to get the cutlery. We think it is very poor that P & O did not inform us at the time of the booking that the "Brassier" would not be open as had we known, we would have had a proper breakfast at home before we departed on our trip to Dover! Sounds like I am moaning a lot but the "gents loo" was closed on the deck we were on and when we were re-directed to another one, that one was closed too!

"Not quite as peaceful a crossing as usual"

We spent most of the crossing in the brasserie but after eating we had to leave as the noise & vibration from the ship's engines was too much. I would guess one engine had failed & they were running on just a single engine going much faster than when there are two. An announcement about the cause of the vibration would have been nice. So, we spent the rest of the crossing on the open deck at the stern. Apart from that, it was a routine crossing. I know P & O try to make it an "experience" but all we're actually looking for is a "bus service" - no drama, no excitement, no shops, simple food at sensible prices (and decent coffee - the stuff in the family area is mediocre at best) - as we're doing this regularly now.

Arrived ahead of time, both going out and returning, and offered an earlier crossing. It was post school holidays so not a lot of passengers and we were quickly on and off the ferry. We did not buy food on board so cannot comment on the quality of catering.

"Incredibly rude embarkation staff at Calais"

My trip was fine until our return leg. All week the press had been full of stories about blockades and migrants attempting to gain access to vehicles approaching the Calais port. Therefore we arrived earlier in the day as we believed there would be blockades or queuing. In the even there wasn't. when we finally got through passport control and past the French Military we stopped at the P&O ferries desk only to be told by a very rude lady that it was going to be very expensive to get on the next Ferry. When I asked her what our options were she didn't even make eye contact with me. She simply said "sort it out with the ticket office!" whilst slamming the window so no further communication could take place. We were actually in the process of getting our wallets out when she did that. She refused to open her window and just stared at her computer. She clearly did not want to speak to us. Outrageous!!!!! she didn't tell us where the ticket office was so we had to work it out for ourselves. We got ripped off another 70 pounds at this point. That was the cost of our entire return fare again. We assumed this was because the ferry was extremely full. NO IT WASN'T!!!!!!!! I've never been on such an empty ferry!!!!!. Never ever again will i give you people my business!!!!!! That extremely rude employee coupled with your extra fare scam to get on another ferry during a time when France is still in a State of Emergency is outrageous!!!!

"Sea-route alternative"

The ferries provide a slower but relaxing alternative to the Euro tunnel. Whilst circumstances in Calais make departures a little uncertain we managed to arrive early on both the legs but, fortunately, P&O were able to put us on earlier sailings thus avoiding a lengthy delay at either port. The ferries are showing their age but they were still comfortable for thew 90 minute trip. Given the variety of vehicles traveling on the ferries, the loading and unloading is done very efficiently.

"Great service"

I booked through Direct ferries and although it was a non refundable booking I was given a 12 month credit as a family illness caused a late cancellation. We travelled at a time when Calais was partially blocked and actually caught earlier ferries with P and O. Spirit of Britain is an excellent ferry with good food and plenty of space. This is far better than the tunnel as you can relax and get some rest before continuing your journey through France.

"Splendid service in time of need"

We were travelling with P&O on the day of a lorry/tractor driver blockade at the port due to a protest about protection from the migrant camp. As such, we were a little unsure as to what might happen and what the issues were. We tweeted P&O a direct question, and they responded exceptionally quickly to help out, additional information relayed on their twitter page was also super useful in this example. Ultimately, there was no issue with getting on the boat and we arrived in time.

"Dreadful"

On the journey over unfortunately we were delayed and caught the later ship out - dreadful the ladies toilets were disgusting the smell was awful as if they hadn't been cleaned all day, although it said on the cleaning chart that they had - they obviously hadn't. There was a used disposable nappy on one of the seats. Generally a very poor looking ship after many crossings over the past few years probably one of the worst for the lack of cleanliness, we also had to wait a considerable time for the shop to be opened.

DIRECTED to a 24 hour vet in calais who was not a 24 hour vet and charged stupid prices for 'emergency" assistance after a 3 hour wait.This suffered by 6 other uk customers. P&OK need to sort out an official plan for vets in calais and use reliable services. What happens when customers are stranded due to pet issues. No procedures and no processes, no assistance.

And as well the seating area, the fact that everyone is running to go upstairs and lay down on sofas made me a bit upset as when I got there had no space. Maybe is something that you could improve: more seats. Apart from that great trip and I might visit again next year.

Fairly last minute booking hence using Dover rather than our usual Poole - Cherbourg. No probs at all finding both port and correct lane for P&O. Arrived slightly early and were promptly offered (and accepted) earlier ferry. Once on board Bistro served a superb breakfast at a pretty reasonable price (if like us you are used to Bristol prices). This also gave the benefit of a great seat and view as we left Dover. All in all very happy with entire deal - Unlike the return trip !!

We travel to France at least three times a year and always use P&O and eat in the Brasserie. We have never had problems before and realise that the hour and a half delay last Thursday was caused by an accident in the kitchen, but the delay meant that we were caught up in the triumphant French fans, plus the aftermath of a major accident on the A1, meaning that our 4 hour journey to Orleans took 7 hours, meaning that we arrived with 2 traumatised small children - not a good start to our holiday.

"Pleasant experience"

We would have normally used the tunnel for this visit but decided to use the ferry for a change. It was a very professional and pleasant experience. We paid extra and travelled in the club lounge, where the service and ambience were excellent. Embarking and disembarking was reasonably quick. We will travel this way again. My wife actually said 'I wish this trip took longer!'

"Faultless"

Absolutely painless from start to finish. The ferry was all part of the excitement for the kids. Time on-board to sit down kick back and relax for an hour before the long drive in France. We also had to change our car details a few weeks before departure, fearing a huge admin fee I was impressed to be able to make these changes myself online very easily and fee free. Well done Direct Ferries! On the return journey we arrived a little early to Calais and we were asked if we wanted to catch an earlier ferry, again for no extra cost, brilliant. We'll be back without doubt.

"A great aggregator!"

When you go to France from the UK, all three ferry operators offer same quality service, while the price may be different for each trip. You can, therefore, either go to all three web-sites yourself, or use one aggregator. Save your time and chose the cheapest transportation! It doesn't matter whether it is Pride of Kent or Spirit of France at all.

Outbound and In bound journey for our French holiday in the mediterranean was on time and comfortable - good choice of decent food too. On the return journey in particular, it provided just the right length of break from driving that I needed (compared to the tunnel) to be able to continue on to Yorkshire refreshed and refuelled. I'm always in awe at how quickly and professionally the staff load and unload the vehicles.

No problems at Dover, despite striking French ferry workers on 3.7.15. Efficient loading. Problem is so many noisy unruly schoolchildren occupying every seating and deck area. Will probably use Dover to Dunkirk in future to avoid the hassle, since it is more 'civilised', Dunkirk is less prone to strikes & the ferries are of a decent quality

During my recent trip I decided to give a chance to P&O Ferries instead of DFDS that I usually take and I was amazed to find out that it was a much nicer experience that I previously thought it may be. In comparison P&O ferries are much newer, cleaner, more comfortable vessels and the whole journey through the channel is much more comfortable all together. As a result I am going to book another trip on my way back and actually I am looking forward to it.

"A good trip from Calais to Dover on The Pride oj Kent."

At the check in we were offered an earlier crossing for no extra charge. Got in the queue and followed the directions. The boat was a few minutes late leaving. Had no trouble getting a seat. A smooth crossing and no problems. Leaving the boat in a camper van was very straightforward. Friendly, helpful staff. My only problem was that I thought my booking was with P and O. Any queries about the booking had to be dealt with by Direct Ferries, so think this may cause confusion if a problem arises.

"Direct Ferries and P&O"

Direct Ferries gave a helpful trouble free service in obtaining this ferry booking despite having to change vehicles at the last minute. P & O Ferries provided a trouble free service in the ferry crossing both ways and were also helpful in fitting us on to an earlier ferry when we made the outward journey and turned up early in error. Only criticism is that the P&O signing at Calais is not clear to see the CAR LANE, and like others cars, we ended up in the lorry cue for border control, which could have lost us time enough to miss the ferry, but we just made it by twelve minutes after arriving one hour before the ferry departed. Calais is a nightmare in day time and arriving one and a half hours before the ferry would have been a better advice perhaps. A pleasant experience all round.

Good crossing both ways. Calm sea, sunny weather so no problems. Outward journey on the newer ship Spirit of France was superb - very good facilities on board and a bright modern feel to the ship. Loading was very easy and we left Dover 10 mins early, arriving slightly early too. Inward crossing was on older ship Pride of Burgundy, but was still pretty good. Slight delay (15mins) on departure due to problems earlier in the day, but no real hardship. Onboard facilities not as modern as Spirit of France, but still OK. Again loading was easy and we had a good crossing in calm sea with sunshine.

Journey passed quickly and without incident. Return journey was very busy. But again, boarding was prompt and departure on time. School children flooded the ship - great to see groups travelling, but too noisy for a relaxing journey. So I headed to The Brasserie. What a great find! Excellent value little restaurant. Classic menu, low prices and very pleasant staff. I had a fillet steak (just £17!) .. it was cooked well and came with generous garnish. All in a very relaxed atmosphere .... and devoid of groups! I would definitely use The Brasserie for a lunch when travelling on the ferry again. Great way to break the journey and have a feed at the same time.

"Better than euro tunnel."

Much cheaper than taking the euro tunnel, also allowed you to eat and comfortably sit while you crossed the channel, it may take 45 minutes longer than the tunnel, but you hardly notice with all there is to do on the ship, which really offsets the 88 euros versus the almost 155 euros to do it in 35 minutes sitting in your car. Just make sure you arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the ship setting sail or you will have to wait until the next departure time.

"Day trip to Calais"

I arrived a little early and was asked if I would like to take an earlier crossing, which I did. The gentleman at the office on the Port of Dover couldn't have been more helpful and cheerful and it allowed me to have an additional hour in France. We were delayed by an hour on the return leg due to bad weather but again we were all informed and overall the journey to and from Calais was very pleasant and accommodating. Well done P&O.

2 day return to France, I arrived early going & return and was put on an earlier ferry which was great, easy loading, good crossing, I was a little disappointed in today's connected world to have to pay £3 for the crossing for WiFi. Good clean ships nothing to fault very happy & will use again, I liked the break from driving the ferry offers and the good price for a return :-)

We travelled several times between Calais and Dover on vacation trips now - always w/o any issues. Just wanted to mention that I was very pleased that when we arrived late for our ship the last time (due to traffic conditions), we simply got transferred to the next ship one hour later. This happened w/o questions or hazzle, although the ticket we had was bound to the one ship we had just missed. Great service!

"Dover-Calais, Calais -Dover Ferry"

We recently travelled on this service and found it very satisfactory. Plus points, all staff friendly, especially the catering staff, who were attentive and good natured. Food adequate and tasty.Ship was clean, including the toilets. Announcements were clear and in good time. Loading/unloading efficient and fast. Plenty of room to move around. comfortable seats. Price for crossing extremely reasonable. Minus points-cold plates for hot food meant that the food was tepid at best by the time we sat down to eat. No cheap pens for sale. Also a thought, how about selling reading sunglasses (magnifying) as well as the designer ones. (Selfish point really as I had lost mine but would've bought some if they'd been available!)Would definitely ust the service again.

The shops are large and have plenty of choice for all types of people. We always travelled with Brittany Ferries in the past but have no concerns travelling with P&O. The staff are lovely and the loading and unloading of the ship is quick and efficient! Would definitely recommend.

I love crossing the Channel, much more than tunnelling beneath it..! P&O ferries are usually smart and reliable, and both ships were fine on these trips. The Direct Ferries food token was a very welcome bonus on the voyage out, the open stern deck delightful on the way back.(My only real complaint is the lack of open decks to walk on today's ships. There is nothing quite like standing in the bows, watching France approach.....)

"P&O The short way."

As a fairly frequent Channel crosser, this trip was better than usual for punctuality. Because of a minor crisis at home, I wanted to get back sooner than my booked crossing. This was very easily done at the France-side booking office, but £60 seemed a bit steep, given that there was a lot of space on the vehicle deck. I decided to treat myself to a bit of civilised respite from the roaming hoards of young school parties, by dining in The Brasserie. This improved the experience very nicely.

Both ships we travelled on were clean and with similar facilities. We had a meal on board on each journey and we were surprised at the quality of the food, given the number of meals served in a very short time. The service was also very good. We chose a Dover/ Calais crossing as its the shortest time and by the time we had got something to eat and looked around the shop it was time to return to the vehicle, in fact on the outward journey we were little early. On our return journey we had been rebooked onto a later ferry which was disappointing, then there was also a delay with no reason given.

"Decent"

For a relatively short crossing, one doesn't get the chance to explore the ship entirely. However, the journey was pleasant, smooth and comfortable. We were kept well informed by the captain. The staff are very helpful when boarding the ship (by vehicle) and there is always someone "pointing" you in the right direction. The features of the ship are will sign posted inside - so you will not get lost. It would have been nice to see a greater degree of variation in the food and snacks offered. Offering identical food to the supermarkets and cafes is rather boring and uninteresting. Additionally, the Channel Tunnel crossing was actually cheaper at the times we were travelling, on that basis I would have stuck with it, but my mum is terrified of tunnels.

"P&O Ferry Crossing"

If time is not of the essence or price is your priority then the ferry crossing beats the euro tunnel. Gives you time to chill out and take a break from driving. On our outbound journey we had breakfast in the Brasserie, although at £13 per head seems a bit pricey was well worth it as it was a full 3 course breakfast with everything you need to set you up for the day. The ferry was good especially the return on the spirit of France looked almost new with good deck to sit in the sun. overall will make time to do this and by pass the euro tunnel.

I only have positive things to write about my last travel experience I booked with direct ferries! It was very easy to book. Very good prices for a return trip from Calais to Dover. I was only able to book a month in advance but was still able to get good prices. I also made a mistake with entering my Car Licence plate, but it was very easy to correct on the Direct Ferries web page. The actual trip was an enjoyable experience. It was exactly on time. We ate lunch both times in the Brasserie which offered good food which was decently priced. All in all a very positive experience!

It was very nice to see that on this ferry there is a pleasant outside deck, with chairs and tables, and a bar. I hate being inside on the ferries, and it made a very agreeable change to be able to sit in relative comfort in the fresh air. Re this questionnaire: not everyone eats on the ferry; I didn't eat on the ferry on this crossing. There should be an option to not respond at all about the "Quality of catering".

"Great trip"

We had a great trip, starting with the fact we arrived quite early and were allowed onto an earlier boat. We had priority boarding, which is totally worth the £12 it cost to book this and I would do this again on any following trip. We arrived last, were first on the boat and first off, so were not in any traffic at any point. It was great. On the boat we were also first in the lounge with plenty of time to pick any seat and get a cuppa without standing in line. Only minus was the food on offer, very prefab, expensive and not very tasty. Other then that smooth sailing and would recommend to anyone.

Two relaxing crossings with P&O last month. The journey both ways was calm and sunny without any delays or problems. Rapid loading and unloading so off on our journey quickly. The Spirit of France is a much larger and roomier ship with plenty of seats, outdoor areas and fooderies making for a very pleasant journey. Prices via Direct Ferries were good - about £25 cheaper than booking with P&O direct. Will use again as we have done previously.

"Dover - Calais return March & May 2014"

It could not have been easier !! Arrive Dover check in, on to P&O Ferry into the Bistro for a leisurely Breakfast and off at Calais nicely relaxed. Why go on Eurotunnel and stay trapped in your car for 40 minutes, pointless unless you are desperate to get to the Vino...... Not only that but if you go the Direct Ferries website you will find that even foe a 5 day break you will pay less than half the price of Eurotunnel !! Why waste money on the tunnel when you can relax in comfort and get nicely fed and watered on the sea. There is as far as we are concerned no contest now, Direct Ferries and P&O for us every time.

"A good journey..."

As I booked Priority Boarding and the Lounge I can only review my journey based on this fact. Boarding was easy, the Lounge well sign-posted and the reception in the Lounge excellent and friendly. The choice of drinks and food in the Lounge was good and fairly priced. Disembarkation was as easy as embarkation. The only negative is the unruly behaviour of the school children from the five or six buses, especially on the stairwells to the car deck. Although I believe that this was mainly due to the incompetence of the adults who were supposed to supervising them, I do think that P&O could have provided some marshalling. All in all, a repeatable experience.

"Directferries.fr: everything is good!"

The objective is to cross to the other side, isn't it? Directferries was offering unbeatable prices: almost 50% less than some other sites, more than 60% less than Eurotunnel, the boarding and disembarkment process are very easy. Moreover, we were able to modify our inbound ticket to leave one hour ealier. With P&O, it's very simple, thanks for the flexbility. In a nutshell, it's all good, we were really satisfied and we'll cross again through directferries. If I need to point out some (minor) negatives, don't exchange money on board, in spite of what's announced. The value for money is very bad. Plus the quality of the food is equivalent to what you find on the motorways. Anyway, you can bring your own sandwiches and the crossing only lasts for a bit more than one hour anyway.

"Crossing Calais-Dover and vice versa "

We have been repeatedly driven ferry with P & O and have always been satisfied. Though we had booked a ferry later from home, we were able to use the former. The crossing was very quiet, which however, was the weather. The passport control on both side could be a little faster, but that probably has nothing directly to do with the ferry. Thus we have missed on the way to England a ferry, even though we were a 3/4 hour before departure there.

"Great crossing."

We had an early morning crossing, boarding was quick. Ferry was spotlessly clean and facilities were excellent. We had breakfast on board and it was really good quality and set us up for the day. Reasonably priced considering the quantity and quality. Smooth crossing and staff were friendly. We will cross with P&O again.

"Well organized crossing .................. "

From the ferry ticket search engine on the Internet, about the booking, execution, Check-In/Check-Out on the ferry one can summarize as follows: Simple, straightforward, accurate, competent. Enstprechend the stars were awarded. Only in the quality of the food I have to admit that I have indeed awarded 4.5 stars, but only one was drinking coffee - but this was hot and good. :-) I would not hesitate to book again with direct ferries can recommend it without reservation.

"Great, quick comfortable and regular"

I missed the boat, but the next one was in 45 mins, for me the big advantage of P&O on the Dover Calais route. This is now my automatic second choice if the tunnel is too expensive. I have just missed the DFDS or Dunkirk boar too many times and sat there for two hours. Food was good too, and it was flat!

"No problems"

I travelled over to France on 8 April and came back on the 15th. No problems at all - ferry was on time - important when you are going to be travelling all day - and it was clean and comfortable. On the way back, I thought the signing inside the ship showing the staircases could have been improved - I had to use the yellow staircase, but did not spot any signs. But that's a very minor item, overall no complaints and very happy with both crossings.

"Smooth operation "

We had booked online and everything went smoothly! It's all very well signposted at both ports. Since we were a little on the way from Calais to Dover earlier because we were allowed at no extra charge to take a ferry before. The testimony of the very nice "man's switch" was that both a ferry earlier than a ferry was free later, from two ferries sooner or later would have an extra charge of 24 euros (I think it was 24 euros) to be paid. The ferry itself was well equipped, there was even a small outdoor smoking deck on the "Pride of Canterbury". The food in the restaurant was frankly not so hot, expensive and somewhat tasteless. The cafe was in order.

"It all works perfectly !!"

We used to travel almost exclusively Dunkirk to Dover and back. Dunkirk is such an underdeveloped port that it took ages to get checked in and through passport control so about 18 months ago we decided to switch to Calais. Calais is a well developed port and everything works just as it should. The P & O check-in was quick and easy as was loading onto the vessel. This ferry was one of the newer "Spirit of" vessels, they are well fitted out, have wi-fi on board and offer a decent range of drinks and food. Coming back the weather was warm and we were able to sit outside, to my amazement we found there was actually a bar outside, allowing you to remain in the sun and get a drink at the same time. Well done P & O !! only took 40 years but at least you got there. We've booked again with P & O to go back to the UK in May and probably will continue to do so for a long, long time.

I arrived an hour an a half early and thought i would be waiting for my actual time, but they were able to book me onto the next ferry that would be leaving in like 15 minutes.

"P&O Calais-Dover-Calais"

Two return crossings in recent months, late-booked prices keen and check-in quick and efficient thanks to numberplate recognition. 90min delay on one crossing and one early-morning ferry left 10 mins early; we arrived at Dover less than 30mins before scheduled departure and would probably have missed it a couple of minutes later, which would have punched a hole in our 700-mile schedule. Still, we were waved on and the excellent Brasserie smoked haddock and poached eggs sets you up nicely for a day at the wheel. Fish and chips on the return is a nice welcome back to Blighty. Friendly, attentive staff, good facilities. If you are doing a long journey, the boat is still a more restful and worthwhile break than the tunnel.

"3 day return on the Spirit of France"

Priority loading and the use of the Club Lounge add considerably to the cost but with a three-day crossing in the region of just £40 it's well worth the extra. P&O check in is quick and efficient, taking less than three minutes. I was first on at Dover, second on at Calais and before the ship had sailed I was enjoying lunch in the Brasserie. Then into the Club Lounge for a coffee, newspapers and a chance to catch up on emails. Though it's been a few years since I last crossed with P&O I can't fault the service which I rate as equal to the best I've experienced (I've been crossing the Channel several times a year since the 1960s). All the crew were helpful and polite; lunch was good, the Club Lounge comfortable and relaxing after a three hour drive to Dover and a further two hours in France. I'll definitely travel with P&O in the future. The only problem, on arrival back at Dover another ferry had got stuck in the berth we were due to use so there was around half an hour's delay in unloading.

"Return journey aboard the SPIRIT OF FRANCE at 4.45pm on March 1."

When I arrived in Dover to take the return passage I felt very ill (diagnosed later in Bruges hospital as gastro enteritis). On reporting aboard I was helped enormously by the two members of the First Aid team and am very grateful indeed for their help in making the sea trip bearable.

"Only cross with P&O"

We recently crossed to France with P&O. Our experience was perfect from on-line booking to rolling off for our journey home. The organisation, (particularly when compared with some competitors)was excellent. Our departure was set for a day when the British weather was at it's worst, but the crossing went as smoothly as can have be expected. The food and service on board was, as usual, perfect. We're travelling to France again in April and we will definitely book with P&O again.

We always travel with P & O Dover Calais Their service is optimal, they run as frequent and as we are Often early at the port, as we have to travel a long distance to Calais, they always allow us on the next available ferry.

"Club lounge at night with no service! The money you can save! "

Ship very modern. Makes a very neat impression, we had booked the Club Lounge, even 2x, ie on the whole round-trip, but there was absolutely no service. For a glass of red wine you had to leave the lounge itself and the wine 1 floor down to pick up in the bar, which is obviously not the point of it .... If you already deducts the full service from the lounge least should be ensured that you can use at the club itself sufficiently above. would be a small selection of sandwiches have been good .... When booking, unfortunately, there was no reference to the fact that you have to completely eliminate lounge service from 22:00. We would highly recommend the ship, where you can absolutely save the booking lounge at night,

"Despite modern ship little Novelties "

The ship is probably put into service until a few years ago. Yet missing in my opinion, charging stations for cell phones and maybe even ports for listening to an onboard program or USB connections, etc. for loading The staff is friendly and everything is reasonably fast. But Queuing is still unavoidable. If hordes of teenagers show up and spread on the floor is to see everything a little nervous and a little nice but that's probably true everywhere. The embarkation and disembarkation is exemplary and orderly. The Bordschop is boring and offers now so nothing new, and certainly nothing special. Recommendation: a shop-in-shop system, similar to the airport, maybe even try something with Harrod's. All in all ok but with potential up / down in the current world.

I found P&O efficient as usual when it came to checking of ticket and boarding. No problems at all going out nor coming back although the weather coming back was bad and had to wait for 2hrs outside Dover the captain kept us informed and the staff were helpful and polite. We had a meal in the restaurant on return journey which was well served and of good quality the surrounding in the restaurant were more like a canteen than a dining room hope this is not a trend on the other ships.

We took the car ferry between Calais and Dover (as well as return) in October as a family. The booking on the internet was easy, the local settlement well.

"Am I too early or too late for the ferry? "

I am approached directly from Switzerland, he, I could not accurately determine the travel time., I therefore set off with period reserve and as the traffic went well arrived about 1:30 hours earlier. Because I did not want to lose the time, I have to an earlier ferry rebooked, then what has also cost me another 24 euros. I think such changes on the spot should be cheaper. With the arrival of the ferry the announcements should be clearer more accurate and more. Not all travelers understand the English, respectively. the French language very well. Hence it is that many passengers much commit too early to the stairs, causing a traffic jam that would not be necessary.

"Bad Weather!"

The first leg was absolutely fine. Left on time and arrived bang on schedule. The return trip was quite different. The crossing started well, left about 15 mins late, probably due to the volume of passengers and freight. The ship made it about halfway and , unfortunately, the weather baecame adverse as we neared Dover. Two other ships were floundering in the heavy seas, by the entrance. These were waiting for tugs to bring them in, therefore we were in the eventual queue!. Arrived at the berth about one and a half hours late, but this was not the ferry's fault. During the wait, the captain had the sip into the wind and it was fully stabilised so it was quite comfortable.

We usually fly to most holiday destinations but decided to take a 2 week drive down to the South of France this year. The whole process of catching the ferry was flawless, very smoothly operated the staff were very polite, upbeat and the facilities on the ship were excellent. Well done P&O Ferries - I felt proud to be British!

"Return with obstacles due to strikes in Calais, one way perfectly "

We have been going for decades regularly by ferry to England. The quality and flexibility in booking and check-in is excellent today, the crossing without any problems, the price is very cheap. The one and a half hours of time lost in our trip is not a problem of Direct Ferries, but foul play in Calais. We will in any case be happy to use your service.

"Ammended ticket"

We had the unfortunate experience of having car trouble whilst in France, which meant that we were unable to get to our ferry on time. However this was not a problem as when we arrived at Calais the following evening, we went straight to the ticket office and explained our predicament. The gentleman let us pay a fee of £60 to amend our ticket and put us on the next ferry which left in about an hour. Fantastic result, we were very impressed and couldn't have wished for better service. Thank you P&O!

"Very good sense of security. "

Since I'm not a fan of long tunnels, and certainly not under water, it would be me again and again that the cut-throat competition has not led to the bankruptcy of ferry-companies on the Kanal. A journey with such a safe ferry is also already a first vacation day. Always impressive: the huge docks in both Dover and Calais and the equally impressive punctuality and professionalism at a transfer took place.

"Cleanliness has improved "

The slow clearance of the English publican in Calais: 45 minutes for 20 cars meant that we were rebooked and had to wait a long time. When we were at the passport-control turn, the customs officer was in animated conversation with a colleague and hardly to the point. On the return trip from England, the waiting time was despite 10 cars in front of us less than 5 minutes Maybe P & O can even talk to the British tax collectors here. Ferries are cleaner in both ways. We go every year.

"Calais-Dover"

Shocking queues to get into the port - over an hour & half, which meant that we missed our ferry. We were then allocated a spot on one 3 1/2 hours later at 03.00am. So with 2 young kids in the car we settled down for a long wait. Once on the ferry, we struggled to find anywhere to sit because most seats were taken up by people sleeping over 3/4 seats. We decided to give the kids a different experience from the tunnel - they certainly got an experience which won't be repeated.

All the staff/crew I met wearing shirts were very kind to me. I was disgusted by some of the passengers attitude towards me, I blame society at it-s worst. The car parking usher shouted at me unnecessarily. I'm a mum with three little ones in a twin pram, struggling to give them what they need on an arduous trip. The nursery girls could have had a more friendly, more concerned attitude with the children, could have been more talkative and active instead of sitting mostly in the corner blowing bubbles, after i was told what to expect. Children don-t have a long attention span, the girls didn-t relect this.

Paid the fee only to find we had been allocated a boat running 30 mins late. Judging the arrival time at Dover when travelling via the M25 is always difficult, err on the side of caution and arrive early.

"Perfect crossings"

We had the opportunityu to travel with P&O between Calais and Dover. We are satisfied with both crossings. We were on different boats during the outbound and the inbound journey. It was quick to go through the customs and through the borders and everyone involved was professional. The facilities are very good. The WIFI is a bit slow, but it's probably due to the number of passengers and it's a minor detail. The boat left on time. We appreciated the professionalism of the people organising the boarding of the cars, who have to handle a large quantity of vehicles in a short period of time. The price of the crossing with a vehicle is correct. It wasn't the first time we made this crossing, but we'll do it again without any hesitation with P&O. We recommend this company.

"My Trip"

We caught the early morning ferry and was disappointed because there were absolutely no seats available and basically had to stand all the way to France. People were sleepung in stair wells accross severel seats and also sitting on the stairs. I was concerned for health and safety. The staff were very pleasant and the facilities were clean. Suggestion would be to display notices and advise passengers not to take up more seating than they need. The retun journey was much better, having paid £27 in France to be able to use the earlier service. The return ferry was over ab hour late leaving port. I will be using P and O Ferries again

"No fuss journey to France"

What really impresses me for any product or service is simplicity. That is what I found with Direct Ferries. The online form was easy to fill in, it asked all the questions that were needed clearly. I made the booking, paid for it, turned up at the check-in, they knew all about me. Got on the boat with my car and caravan, got off the boat the other end. The return journey was equally simple although I arrived at the port quite early I was told I could get on an earlier ferry for a small charge. Again couldn't have been simpler.

"Dogs "

I would like to share my review with as many people as possible. The checks on my dog passport has been processed by staff who doesn't know or pretended not to know the rules to take a pet in the UK. My vet had registered, on the dog passport, all treatments requested from the UK goverment correctly. The check-in staff didn't accept the tapeworm registration, just because it was written in the passport note, and refused to let us on board. The staff should have known that a simple certificate is also valid, as declared on https://www.gov.uk/take-pet-abroad/tapeworm-treatment-dogs. Just after paying €60 at the port, so that their recommended vet could do the right registration, we've been allowed on board.

I turn up at Calais at a time other than my booked time - I never know exactly what time I am going to return but you have to book something - and was appalled to be told that I had to pay a further £69, which DOUBLED the price of my return ticket !!! I also think that the prices on board are high and especially I think that charging more for a larger cup of tea just for a slightly bigger cup and more water, and using the same tea bag, is a rip-off !!

Staff was very friendly and got on with things. We had booked on of the last sailings for the return journey, but when we arrived at the port early we put on an ealrier ferry without questions. One minus are the queues for coffee. The school groups would cause you to wait the entire journey before it was your turn.

"Good crossing, bad parking "

I am Mondays drove from Calais to Dover, came back on Sunday and I parked my car in the long stay car park directly in front of the P & O terminal. Positive was that we could very easily take a ferry rather in the outward journey, the Monday ferry was an older model, but the equipment was at least very cozy with carpet and upholstered furniture, the return trip on the Pride of France was still a lot more comfortable, because the ship is brand new. Crew and staff are nice, the ride was pleasant, the offers of food and drinks are also okay, not always quite as great selection for vegetarians, but that's to be expected anyway. The only REAL NEGATIVE point of the parking lot outside the terminal in Calais was - apart from the fact that we had to really search to find the long-term parking, this was only supposed to video surveillance. We have for 7 days of parking paid 29 EUR and as we left, we had just stuck a big fat bolt upright in the tire. Here's to the ADAC (plus). Due to the position of the screw in the tire and the noise that occurred directly at start, you begin to think that the screw is not randomly lay on the floor (we have also seen them at Koffereinräumen determined that she had located further away), but directly had been placed upright in front of the tire. In the waiting time for the local repair service, I have tried to draw attention to the info for this matter and requested if necessary to review the videotapes. The second man from the Info Point could also enough English to understand me and the problem and even suggested itself to review the tapes for the time in question, but the phone contacted boss just said tersely, there would be no video surveillance (then what do the cameras to the lampposts?). Conclusion: I'll never go back over Calais to Dover and certainly not leave my car there - too bad!

"Morning crossing between Calais and Dover with P&O"

Very satisfied with both crossings between Calais and Dover. We appreciated the kindness of the people who helped us park our camper-van. We arrived exactly on time. The process following the internet booking was quick and easy. I will use directferries for my next trip.

"Simply perfect"

Hello everyone, On the 17th of July 2013, I went to England for the first time and used Directferries. I was won over. Directferries is indeed very good. I had some last minute mishaps, but when I went to the jetty, I was allowed to board 2 hours earlier than the time booked on my ticket. Regarding the boat itself, it was clean and pleasant for the price. I strongly recommend it. Enjoy your holidays

"Crossing from Calais to Dover and back "

Two months before the passage I have booked and paid for the ferry for One Way July and return August with exact time. Embarkation to Dover was done surprisingly fast, thanks to modern technology. Probably by scanning the number plate were the staff, the data provided before we spoke to the nice lady in the control hut. quasi We were waved through to the ship. The return at the Fäher has angered me. For the last night before departure I had not booked a hotel in advance and in the evening no longer get what I imagined. So we left just a day earlier. A day early, I was on Monday night against 20 clock with the car at the pier. I actually had to pay again, without compensation for the already paid for crossing the next day the FULL price for the crossing. On the ferry a lot of space was still vacant, would be alone on my deck has room for about 20 cars have been. In other words, I have increased the annual income of P & O without effort and additional costs by about 60 €.

Only booked the ferry because I left it too late to get a good channel tunnel crossing. However, we all really enjoyed the experience which was smooth and trouble free. Good to be able to walk around too, especially on the return journey when we were able to split up the 11 hours driving across France and up to Northumberland. Wouldn't hesitate to use the ferry again.

Ladies and gentlemen, I can understand that not all ferries can be up to date in the form of convenience for passengers. But all efforts on your part, I think one or the other ferry're getting on in years. This has nothing to do with the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff.

"Surprisingly good food."

Very easy process and clear lane markings at the port, if its your first time using a ferry. Number plate recognition at Dover made check in very easy but not at Calais. Ferry served its purpose but was surprised how good the food was in the Brasserie. Well worth the extra cost over the lower priced restaurants. I will use P&O again. Ferry was quite late on the return journey and the UK border control at Calais took forever so give yourself plenty of time.

"Had a lucky escape? "

The ferries were ok and clean, although fully occupied. The rides in a smooth sea and sun were pleasant and shorter than planned. We were on two trips to the port early because we can estimate the travel time in the holiday traffic bad about Germany. On the way we were asked at the entrance at the counter if we wanted to take the previous ferry. We rejoiced and were booked at no additional 2 hours earlier on the ferry. On the way back we were too early, because we should leave our house from 10 clock. So we asked for on the English side, if it were up even earlier than booked. That worked, but we had to pay 18 pounds extra for the ferry 2 hours earlier. Obviously, we have been lucky the first time?

"Wonderful crossing"

This year, just like every year, we travelled to england with P&O. The boarding and disembarking runs smooothly. Staff provides clear directions. The car is easy to find back. Just pay attention to where you're parked and which set of stairs you have to take back again. The food on board is obviously pricier than on the mainland, but it's good quality. What;s missing is the option to put away your tray yourself after you're done eating. This would save the staff a lot of work. We are always very pleased with the way things run. We have not experienced a calamity, so we cannot assess all staff skills.

We are very pleased with our journey with P&O ferries. Booking over the internet went smoothly and we were "recognised" by the officer immediately on arrival due to which the check in went very easily. The same applies to the return journey. Communication about the delay could be more clear and also the notifications on board cannot be heared clearly. But I can only be positive when it comes to a safe crossing of the North Sea.

"Excellent value, hassle free and breakfast on the way to France was a lovely bonus"

This is the second year we have used direct ferries and once again all our experiences were really positive. Booking is quick, efficient and easy, no hassle with tickets as you take your booking number with you. Both there and back we arrived over an hour early to avoid being late and were popped onto the ferry before the one on which we had booked. On the way to France we were given vouchers which were sufficient to buy breakfast and a coffee each, a great idea and very welcome. Would definitely recommend to friends and family that they use Direct Ferries as they are economical, trouble free and being able to book online is ideal for our busy lifestyle. Thank you

We arrived early for each ferry and each time the staff kindly slotted us on to an earlier one. The ship on the way out was quite clean, on the way back, first thing in the morning when it had been toing and froing all night, it looked a bit scruffy and grubby - not bad, but not spotless.

The outbound journey went well. There were more problems for the return journey from Calais. We left 40 min late and the crossing took 2 hours. The rest is acceptable.

"Everything easily "

The crossing was smooth in both directions. On board there are some good deals at the store. Although everything is not really cheap, but in an action for an alcohol drink I can save properly. For travel time should be at least 30 minutes, depending on the season, take into account, so you do not get stressed.

"Don't be first!"

We crossed Dover-Calais very smoothly and the staff were extremely helpful. For the return, we arrived very early and were first in the queue on the quay. However, we were last to be loaded (and therefore were squashed into the only remaining place in Club Class) and last to be disembarked. Felt Club Class should have given us a more relaxed return trip but it was a disappointment.

"lame clearance "

The check-in Calais worked normally, in Dover, however, it went so slow (imagine, we had a pre-booked-ticket) that we did not enter the ferry that we initially booked but the next ferry one hout later. Additionaally this ferry had a delay of almost 1/2 hours. Since we still had a way home of 600km from Calais, this was more than annoying! Would take the tunnel next time. The ship itself was clean and tidy, the briefing on parking deck good.

"practically "

It's perfect processing - even if the Pride of Burgundy would have really needed a revision and deserves to other revision The game casinos annoy only by the noise, which is conveniently persons are often not because of their gambling addiction only unfortunate people.. .. However, what needs no renovation, is the CLEANLINESS in the toilet facilities, because it is in very bad conditions! One has the feeling that one (s) and wife but rather should have been put on rubber boots to go to the bathroom. From the WC's in that state, one likes to keep your distance! More staff for cleaning, instead of in the shop-sale and all feel more comfortable.

"Ferry P & Co Calais to Dover and Dover to Calais "

The crossing from Calais to Dover was very uncomfortable, as the ferry was an old one. Important: lounges around the bars. Here they were uncomfortable, not private enough and dirty. On the return trip from Dover to Calais which was the reverse side. The ferry was new and well-kept, the common areas offered cozy and private seats in the Barnähe. In another crossing by ferry we would try a different line than P & O.

Nice and quiet environment. It was a nice experience. On our return trip we stayed on the mid deck. It was very noisy because of the youth that travelled with us.

Although the outward journey, the ferry was very punctual On the way back everything took a bit longer, as many youth groups with buses and a special trip of about 200 cyclists were taken (that is a special case) Could improve one definitely catering On the return trip, for example, only lukewarm tomato soup which also includes the buns were missing (though we full price was credited) We have been generally very satisfied with both ways, and these would also recommend or repeat any time

As elderly pensioners we found the Calais to Dover ferry completely stress free. We arrived early but could park easily in the port car park free of charge. Our boat sailed on time and arrived at 8.15 am on Sunday morning a good time to tackle the M25 back home. The boat (Spirit of France) was clean, comfortable and the staff were very accommodating making the whole experience very good. We have already booked another trip in September for going to Spain. We would rather do this ferry and drive down rather than a longer ferry with a shorter drive.

"Travelling by ferry"

I love travelling with the ferrie. Cheaper and better on time than the Tunnel, at least in my expierence. However last time the trainconnection to where my car was parked was cancelled, so we got 2 hours late for the incheck. That cost me a penalty. I was not happy with that, especially when you find out later that the ferrie is for 75 % empty. But still I like the ferrie.

Due to the issues with the website one of the return journeys was accidently booked for the wrong date. There was no sympathy for this and I had to pay extra for one of the cars on the spot.

On the way, we were very pleased. We were a little early at the ferry than planned, but we were able to quickly take the ferry and everything was very nice. And although the day was the final European Championship in London, and according to many fans also early hat were on their way. Thanks from the good organization. The return trip two and a half weeks later was also okay but here we were 4 hours earlier than planned at the start and we had once again € 96.00 to pay even though the ferry was almost empty. If everything had been full, I could even understand that, but as I said, almost empty - the car decks were free. So this: very negativ Greeting Anne Giller

This time I was already at 12:00 clock in Dover, my ferry was not until 19:15 clock. The request on the P & O switch with respect of previous return was very frustrating.

"Ferry trip"

Excellent value for money, initially chosen because at short notice the tunnel was fully booked. It was far more efficient than I remembered ferries to be (last one taken over ten tears ago), with the processing of embarkation and debarkation impressively smooth and only about 15 minutes longer than a normal tunnel experience. Given that the tunnel in my experience (10 trips in the last year) screws up about a quarter of the time, then I think the ferry on the basis of my experience is very competitive. In terms of price I saved over £100 (£35 versus £200 for a short notice day return). Under the circumstances a no brainier. As a frequent traveller on the tunnel I will have to carefully consider weather to renew next year or to be more flexible between the two options of getting across the Channel.

Once again I have used directferries to book a crossing from Dover to Calais and back, this took me less than 5 minutes to do, after checking other websites the directferries site is without doubt the cheapest and in all the time I have used them I have never experienced any problems. The ferry itself was busy but I managed to get a coffee and a seat with a nice view of the channel. Clean ship with warm pies available! The only problem is the British customs who seem to target me every time I cross, I have never in the 40+ crossings managed to get through Dover without having to make a visit to the custom shed for a look in my boot & engine area!.

Over crowded, small ship, noisy and the food quality poor, compare to DFDS ferries I would rate at 50% lower for quality and services. Prices way to high for the quality. The only 5 star I will give to punctuality, the rest , you guys have a lot to work on. Sorry but no sorry when I am paying for it.

Travelling on early ferry to begin our long drive to Leipzig for our holiday. We have no problems with this trip whatsoever. We were impressed by all the staff involved.Impressed with the security measures, very comforting. The young man who helped fixed our headlight deflectors on check-in is to be praised for excellent customer service. A marvellous english breakfast, very good value for money. A very good crossing, great start to a holiday.

"supplement"

I was disappointed with P O, because we were late dure to an accident on the road. Our crossing was booked for 8.45am. We arrived at 9.30. Therefore, we took the 10am and had to pay a 53 euros fee. I thought it was excessive, because it wasn't our fault. Moreover, our return ticket booked the previous day only cost us 70 Euros.

"Across the channel with P&O"

I cross the channel regularly. Even though the tunnel is quicker I enjoy the boat journey. I also think it's slightly more reliable. For me Calais is a bit further than Dunkirk, but therefore the crossing is shorter. I was an hour early for the outward journey and was allowed on an earlier sailing. Nice to have gained an hour. I wandered around the shop and had a drink in the brasserie. The disembarking went quick. On the return journey I was early as well and was again allowed on an earlier crossing. On check-in they knew exactly who I was without me having to show them any papers. Number plate recognition I think. It was one of the new ships. This time I spent the journey in the brasserie. Very good service. The food was what can be expected, but the sea views made up for it. Next time I will most likely be travelling with P&O again.

We were traveling with a 4 year old toddler. The boat trip itself went well, it was smooth and comfortable, right on time, everything went very quickly because we added priority boarding. However, there was no play area for small children compared to the other ferry companies. Just a corner with gambling machines and arcade games, but they are not suitable for small children. Small children get so bored easily and need to be entertained. We also could not find a microwave to warm some food up for the little one. So, recommended if you are not traveling with small children!

"Reliable"

I have used the channel ferries 4-5 times a year for the last 8 years in order to work in the UK. I need a service that is consistent and economical. I have used just about all the operators, through Direct Ferries, in this time and despite the fact that P&O are usually slightly more expensive (not always) I, now, prefer to travel with them. For me reliability is the most important thing, well that and food, but then, like all ferries, the food is appalling for the price so just take a picnic it will save your pocket and your stomach!

"Trip to England in April 2013"

Very fast and punctual boarding. Very nice: if you arrive early at the port, it's no problem to get on an earlier ferry. Bit sad that on the new ferries there is no outside space where you can enjoy the fresh sea breeze. Can't judge the food, as we only had a cup of tea.

"Not like it used to be....."

I still prefer the ferry to the tunnel. The tunnel is a rip off. However P&O have increased the cost a ticket hugely. I had to postpone a departure for a week: 53€, then I had to return a day early due to an emergency: another £40 or so. Fortunately P&o staff are wonderful and always very helpful when we travel with the horses in freight, but I find the pricing policies more and more complex and opaque each year. And I know it's all in the terms and conditions but I had neither a microscope, nor a lawyer to read them.

"Club-Lounge and priority boarding: it's worth it"

We took the club Lounge and priority boarding both ways. We were also early each time and were able to board the previous ferry. When we returned, the parking line was closed, but the we were oriented at the front of the boat ans exited first! We'd also like to mention the friendliness of the staff. I have a big car and need space to go out. That was taken into account and nobody were on the driver side ! I recommend the club : muted atmosphere, champagne and free drinks, far from the noise of high school kids. The only odd thing: the champagne was available for the over 18 on the way there, but to everyone on the return.

It's been a long time since I've taken the ferry, at least 20 years ago was the last time. We used to travel all the time with the kids, during the time when Doc Martens were fashionable and we'd bring them back for people. On 30th March we travelled with our grand children and will surely repeat the trip again soon. Everything was perfect. We always used to use P&O, and we are still delighted with them.

"Notes for Ferry crossing"

I would like to commend P&O Ferries on our ferry crossings on the 28.03.2013 and 03.04.2013 between Calais and Dover. We were allowed to catch an earlier ferry at no extra charge and the general crossing experience can only be describes as excellent. I have often travelled between Calais and Dover but no other ferry service has offered the same quality of service as P&O. In my opinion the condition of the ferries is superior to that of other ferry services. With other ferry services I had to pay a surcharge for sailing on an earlier ferry.

"P&O - Great Ferry, shame about the port / checkin process"

Travelled on Easter weekend from Dover to calais and left ample time to get to the port. On arrival at the port, it took almost 2 hours to get from the port to the P&O check in line, purely because it was so badly organised. The traffic lines for all of the different ferry queues were all crossing each others so with no one directing where to go, it was just chaos. So we arrived at the check in literally as the ferry had just left and was moved to the next ferry. That said, P&O were very accepting about the issue and moved us without charge or question to the next ferry. Ferry journey was ok and although very busy, was very comfortable and the facilities good. Prices are inflated but its no different to what you would pay in a motorway services. Coming back via Calais was a whole different experience, Calais was well organised compared to Dover and much more equipped to take a busy period. All in all, whilst it was a good ferry and facilities both ways, the Dover port clearly needs some changes to match it to the experience of the return journey from Calais. Having taken the EuroTunnel Train in the past and wanted to try out the ferry this time as we were in no rush, I am safely going to stick to the EuroTunnel going forward - its a calmer, more enjoyable experience even if it is slighly more expensive, it is definitely worth it.

"March trip to and from the UK - warning about timetable changes!"

Warning to all travellers. This has happened on this trip and on the previous trip last May - departure times change and there is no notification! We were fortunate that we arrived early at Calais having driven for eight hours with no hold-ups near Paris and were just in time for a ferry that had been changed by approximately three quarters of an hour - earlier! So check the timetable the day of departure, they may have changed it. However, they are obliged to honour your ticket if you miss the rescheduled time, we understand, but you may have to wait quite a while for the next ferry. NOT GOOD. Both ferries were running late, but did make up some time enroute. We travelled on one old ship which definitely needed an upgrade (on the journey to Dover) and on a modern one for our return. Comparing the facilites is pointless - they simply do not compare. We do not usually use the catering facilities, although we had a coffee on the outward journey and the coffee shop was closed so had to queue for a long time at the only facility on a different deck to where we were seated. Given all our criticisms, we would still recommend a P&O ferry for this short journey.

On the outward leg, we wanted to watch the waves hit the ship (it was quite stormy). So we headed for the almost-empty lounge. The friendly lady let us sit without the required tickets, and we enjoyed the serene beauty of nature from the comfortable lounge sofa. On the return, we went straight to the lounge, with the intention of paying for lounge access, no sooner said than done. For £14, we were offered a complimentary glass of champagne. The drinks are also free and the place is really quiet and comfortable. Clean restrooms, friendly service. In our case, we were 6 people in total. There were even girls offering us shoulder massages. After all that, you'll arrive at your destination relaxed and ready to go.

The 3 car decks are just enormous and there were loads of things to keep you busy during the trip. A pretty unique ship in my opinion (along with Spirit of Britain). They obviously build fantastic boats in Finland!

"Superb"

Took a crossing from Dover to Calais on 27th June 2012. Everything was perfect and onboard experience is like being on a cruise, not a cross channel ferry. I think for my next trip i'll make sure i pick a date when one of these new Spirit ferries is running instead of the older ships.

"What a great ferry!"

Purposely chose a sailing to travel on the Spirit of France when i went to Calais in March this year as they were doing some really good launch offers and am really glad i did. For a ferry, this ship is huge and much more upmarket in terms of restaurants, bars and shops than i was expecting. Loads to do onboard and would have been happy to spend another hour at sea!
