Wales reviews

"excellent check in, punctual, fast, friendly"

but the way they made chicken into quite such a hard tasteless lump was quite special. Take your own food, otherwise spot on.

"Great services start to finish"

I travel by ferry 5 or 6 times a year and alway use direct ferries to book my journey. The booking is simple and straight forward and fairly priced. I tend to go for a fast crossing where possible and take a car on all occasions. Boarding and disembarking is usually quick and the service on board is great. Staff are pleasant and helpful and the vessel is well kept.

"Ferry!"

Could have done without the super sarcastic check-in guy in Dublin who gave me grief for not having my reference number to hand when I drove up. It took him all of 2 seconds to look up my name and car registration on his list but he chastised me anyway. Otherwise, great experience, easy on/off, comfortable ship with free wifi and lots of amenities.
