Living in Sussex, Newhaven for us is convenient. We find the service by DFDS efficient and comfortable. Particularly, the wide car-deck aisles prevent damgae to cars, c.f. the Dover ferries.

"Poor P.R."

Unfortunately due to sickness it was impossible, due to hospital appointments, to make the trip. I informed direct ferries and asked if there could be any refund, however small, particularly as I am a regular customer, they informed me they would not be make any refund. Obviously I will not be using them again. Importantly my review is based on direct ferries not dfds, although I believe they informed direct ferries there would be no refund

Our journey from Newhaven to Dieppe (return) was one of the best ferry journeys that i have taken. The organisation by the loading crew and the ships company was absolutely excellent.The cleanliness of the ship and the standard of the food was superb and the friendliness of all the staff was a credit to the company. This includes both ships on our journey out and our return.

"Newhaven to Dieppe"

I travelled to Dieppe from Newhaven, and I must say the loading in Newhaven was efficient,. however the disembarkation was painfully slow, whereas in Dieppe it was speedy both ways. As for the ships , they were very good. Dieppe port was very clean , where as Newhaven is an embarrassing. It is very old and derelict looking. Needs money spent on it. Not a good advert for people arriving in this country for the first time.

"A pretty good option."

Having not caught a ferry for years I was looking forward to this little trip to and from Dieppe as my two young children had never been on a ship before and the whole experience was a good one. The process of booking was easy and reasonable, the trip was enjoyable and hassle-free and all the people responsible for it including the ferry staff and security at either end were friendly. My only gripe would be that, having got to the port the full 90 minutes ahead of sailing time as requested, there was no advantage to doing so in terms of the order of disembarkation. On the way back in particular we were early arriving in Dieppe and yet managed to be one of the last cars to get away from Newhaven. More effort on this front and I would definitely become a regular ferry-goer.

"First trip as a foot passenger to Dieppe"

I travelled with my mother, and we had a great trip no doubt helped by the fantastic weather. We both live very close to the ferry terminal with my mum in Seaford and myself in Newhaven both in positions to watch the ships go past each day. I felt the check in information was a little misleading as it said ‘latest check in’ 90 mins before sailing. Making me believe that check in would shut 90 mins before departure but in fact the check in desk only came alive a couple of hours before. I know as I arrived to a darkened unmanned terminal. It was great to be able to travel luggage free. Especially as travelling with my elderly mother I would have had to manoeuvre her case alongside mine wherever we went onboard. But what a shame the crew can’t organise it for the luggage to be off either before or with the foot passengers. Waiting 20+ mins in Dieppe and 40min in Newhaven was really frustrating. Having a Taxi organised seemed like a good idea arriving back but it could have got expensive. All the staff we met and spoke to both sides of the channel and onboard were curtious and kind.

"Perfect crossing"

The crossing was perfect because the sea was like a mill pond, the sun was shining down and making our view from our comfortable chairs, from the sheltered deck quite heavenly. We watched the sunset with drinks from the bar. Hot chocolates and Sauvignon blancs! All prettty wonderful. What then ruins the experience is, as a foot passenger, ALWAYS having to wait approximately HALF AN HOUR OR MORE when we arrive, for our baggage. It happens EVERY time, and I do not know why it has to be this way. It results in me missing my connecting train to London and very much puts me off travelling via Newhaven Dieppe if I have work to get back to after a weekend. PLEASE DFDS change this system. Everything else is wonderful. But this is a big enough problem to stop us travelling with you. There are many Londoners who have had the same experience. We miss our last train to Victoria and are faced with traumatic and expensive alternatives- like trying to stay in Newhaven or traveling on a night train and bus that takes over 2 and a half hours and arrives well after midnight. None of this is necessary. Thank you

"Dieppe - Newhaven"

Generally a good trip on an almost empty ship. However having to arrive one and a half hours before sailing was ridiculous as we were not loaded until the last 30 mins. and a four hour journey needs resting places but there was nowhere to lie down without paying for a cabin. The last thing I want to do after a six hour drive to get there is sit in a reclining chair. I tried walking round the ship but the upper floor which I think had a proper restaurant was closed to passengers so there was not much of a circuit.

"Trip to France and back"

On the whole the crossings were well managed and efficient, however there are 3 aspects to the journey (which I've done for many years on an annual basis) that are always challenging. One is the quality of the food - it is not in my opinion good cooking, plus it does not cater well for vegan and gluten free requirements. So I always need to bring my own food and 'picnicking' as such is not made easy, in terms of prohibitive food notices or a place to sensibly be able to eat your own food. The second issue is the air conditioning, as it is often on even if it is not needed, hence it can be quite chilly inside the boat. The third issue is sending the car passengers down to the car deck before it is time to drive off. This was not the first time that on the Dieppe to Newhaven crossing the car drivers/passengers on the deck I was on were kept waiting in their cars for ages (a good 45 minutes) with no explanation of why we had to wait so long. It's an unpleasant and claustrophobic experience for me and I wonder if there could be a better way of managing it. However, in response to your question as to whether I'd recommend this ship to a friend, yes I would but I would point out the pros and cons.

"First time"

First time travelling this route, the ferry boarding was efficient the staff on board friendly and helpful. Despite a delay the ship managed to catch up on some time. Cabin on the Newhaven/ Dieppe crossing was spacious and clean. Unfortunately the catering on the return journey let the company down and I suffered severe food poisoning, not ideal when you have a 550 mile journey ahead of you. I am sure this would be a rare occurance and would not put me off using this service again.

"Good trip"

Check-in was simple, loading efficient and the ferry was punctual. The staff were helpful although the chef was extremely vocal with his colleagues! Exchange rate was shocking which made the food expensive but the food was enjoyable. I think it would be useful to label the Reception desk as Information desk or change the announcements to say that information is available at the Reception desk. Hand dryers in the toilets weren't very effective but the facilities were clean. The shop wasn't open for long enough and opening and closing times weren't announced On the whole the journey was fine; the vessel left and arrived on time which is always a must as far as I'm concerned

I didn't know what my expectations would be on my trip to Dieppe or how I would manage going on my own. The ferry crossing was really good and the customer service was excellent. Dieppe is a lovely city and there's so much to see and do, the restaurants around the quey all want your trade and the prices are amazing. The French people are just lovely and I'm planning another trip before Christmas, I travelled up to Reoun and spent the day exploring the old City. See you again soon. Sean

"Effective client of a little tired "

A nessecary journey made with a company with little competition. The travel organisation was great. But the facilities are a little old tired and not as clean as they could be. The welcoming crew were great, we did find one tetchy member serving food on one of the two boats we used but everyone else gave great service. The seating areas were adequate but a little uncomfortable for the duration... Not as good as modern coach seating. The biggest area for improvement was the toilets all of which needed a deep clean. Superficially usable but too few for the number of people using them and the hygiene regime appeared to lack attention to detail.

"A good crossing"

We were very pleased with our crossing from Newhaven - Dieppe at the end of August. Couldn't fault the ferry itself, spacious, clean and decent enough facilities. Ideally would have had slightly more for children, particularly younger children to fdo, perhaps a more substantial soft play. Also the price of food etc on the crossing is pretty steep which is although sadly anticipated, still disappointing. The only other disappointment was the lack of facilities prior to boarding. A place to get a decent coffee and snack would make a fortune! On the same note, Newhaven port itself could do with a spruce up, not a fortune spent but it's not the most glamorous vision to meet you on depart/arrival.

Very good service, no delays on our crossings. Friendly and helpful staff. Shop was good and not stupidly expensive, but reasonably priced. Only downside was that you could not hear the televisions (sound turned off) which seemed a bit pointless having them on. Breakfast (cooked English) was O.K. but the mushrooms were tasteless with an unpleasant texture. However, overall I would recommend this route (Newhaven to Dieppe) and we would definitely use this route again when visiting North West France.

"Newhaven/Dieppe return crossings Saturdays 6th / 13th August"

Both crossings were excellent as far as time and comfort, with the Channel like a millpond. Staff were really friendly and helpful and the catering and food were excellent. However the toilet facilities really need updating with loo flushes not working on both journeys ( on the return journey we were advised that the problem was solved after they were closed for a while, but this was not the case). The only other adverse criticism I have is the length of time it takes to return the cars whilst docking ,which seemed endless, and the delay in the UK customs end on return which seemed to be a touch unnecessary.

"Newhaven-Dieppe "

A fine crossing but a slight delay in setting off from Dieppe and delay in arriving in Dieppe (we were parked on the top area). Plenty of comfortable seating and not too much waiting to get food/drinks. PS: It is not clear when to go back to the deck for motorists (but plenty of announcements for pedestrians) Once you are standing waiting outside the door to the cars there were announcements which we could not hear as people were chatting. Times of sailings We thought lunchtime sailing was fine for us but with the small delay it made us arrive in rush hours in England with horrific traffic jams on the roads(not your fault!). An earlier crossing would therefore be preferable for us.

"Newhaven-Dieppe return trip "

The Newhaven ferry port was a bit run-down and didn't operate with all the professionalism of Dover but having saidb that we arrived on time and boarded and embarked on time. The Dieppe ferry port was well maintained and professionally operated with excellent security. The ship (Seven Sisters) although a little small compared with those on the Dover-Calais route was reasonably comfortable and well maintained. The staff were polite and helpful and the catering was very good. The on board shop was a little disappointing being small with only a limited range of goods. All in all considering the general situation on the Dover-Calais route I was pleased we chose this route. The 4-hour voyage makes for a relaxed journey and the extra time is balance b y not having to drive Calais - Rouen.

"Dieppe-Newhaven"

We travelled as foot passengers on the Seven Sisters and it was all very efficient. Plenty of places to sit ( we chose the deck as it was a sunny day) and the staff were very helpful and pleasant. They took a great deal of trouble with some disabled passengers in particular. We arrived in Newhaven absolutely on time. Only slight complaint: the food was overpriced and not quite as good as it looked!

"Crossing to and from Dieppe"

Outward journey was very smooth. Return, would have liked some directions to the ferry in Dieppe but once there , very smooth loading. Had fish and chips at the restaurant which were mediocre and not very hot. On arriving was told to go to our cars, and then sat there for about 40 minutes not knowing until someone else said a lorry had been stuck. It would have been nice to have had an announcement to let us know there was a delay. It took a while to get through customs and passport control but were soon on our way. I like going via Newhaven and found the crossing a pleasant one. Staff were all pleasant and helpful.

"Air Conditioning"

We love the Ferries, without them we would not be going to France. However, on our return journey on the Seven Sisters, the Air Conditioning was far too cold, everyone was wrapping up with whatever they had. We were unprepared for the cold, and were glad to get in the car at the end of the journey. As a retired ships Captain myself on giant Container Vessels, it was my duty to carry out inspections. This should also happen on Ferries. Either the Captain or one of the staff should go round the passenger decks after perhaps an hour into the crossing, to see if all is well and that the passengers are happy/content. We find that the announcements are just about impossible to hear/understand.

A very convenient, efficient and pleasant way to travel to France, Dieppe is easy to connect to the major autoroutes and Newhaven to home 10 minutes. Easy check in and out. Made it to the Dordogne by 9 pm off the 9 am sailing from Newhaven- a long day but not stressful. Petrol difficulties a myth - at least where we were. Food on board good and a taste of France in advance in the restaurant! Pleasant and helpful crew. Reasonable prices compared to other ferries. Have done it before and will no doubt do it again.

"An O.K. way of getting people & car straight into the nice part of France."

A clean ship, pleasant crew. very efficient disembarkement in Dieppe, sailings were promptly on time on all occasions. [The Newhaven Immigration officers checking lorries carefully for illegal people had a knock on effect for all the cars too, so it was 3/4 hour before unloading from docking]. Outside the control of the ferry operator but should be allowed for in one's return to UK drive time. Saves a long drive down to Dover, neat efficient & straightforward loading procedures each end and also avoids that long coastal drive southwards from Calais before reaching the prettier parts of France. Especially useful when visiting Normandy and western areas of France with plenty of resorts, nice beaches and quiet smooth roads.

"12.30 pm crossing from Dieppe to Newhaven"

First time that I had used this service, normally use Brittany Ferries or Eurotunnel. What a delightful experience, for a start the car was not crammed in, it was possible to open the doors and get out normally unlike other ferries where the gap between the cars is impossibly tight ! Service from the staff on the ship was excellent and would use this company again. The weather was very good so it was lovely to be on the deck area, perhaps some better seating there would be an improvement rather than the cheap plastic, quite low, seats that are sparingly available, that is my only critism. Well done, lovely crossing.

"Ideal channel crossing"

The great thing about Newhaven and Dieppe is that they are both relatively small ports and therefore a much better experience. Easy to find, no fuss (apart from the expected tight security). It is a long time since I went on a ferry as we usually take the Eurotunnel and I enjoyed the crossing. Newhaven is easy to get to and only 2 hours from London. The crossing was about 4 hours (although late departing due to the tight security controls of vehicles coming off the ferry before we could board), leaving a 3 hour drive to get to my destination just south of Normandy. This was a good balance between driving and the channel crossing. The ferry was great with choice of seating and being able to walk around the decks. Dieppe is a really pretty port and as you drive off the boaty, the winding road takes you up to the top of the chalk cliffs. We will definitely take this crossing again.

"Dieppe-Newhaven"

The trip was good and enjoyable. It took perhaps longer tghan we expected to drive off the ship after docking; I think about 30 mins. The main delay was passport control on arrival which was unexpected. We had had two passport checks already in Dieppe and supposed that this was adequate. The system for Calais/Dunkirk to Dover is presumably different but on arrival in Dover there is no further passport check I believe, which makes getting home much easier. Otherwise, all good.

Travelled from Dieppe to Newhaven with my wife after driving from Portugal over two days, to say I was tired was an understatement. Once on board, I enquired about a cabin, although it was only a 4 hour or so crossing, I was desperate for a good sleep before the onward journey to Scotland. I asked at the reception and a very pleasant member of staff took my name and on the ferry departing, contacted ourselves and a further couple by the speaker system and we were given a cabin at a reasonable cost. The cabin was perfect and had a shower which we were glad of prior to going to our vehicle on arrival at Newhaven. Full marks to DFDS, no hold ups at any stage and a pleasant restful crossing, with no problems that Calais was having. Would certainly recommend DFDS to anyone driving to any part of Europe.

"Ferries are great!!!"

We had never used a ferry before, and were a bit apprehensive, but we needn't of worried, it was great on both journeys. Access, parking, seating, space, food, staff, price, every aspect was great and we enjoyed the rest in a choice of very comfortable seating! The price was also very good. We would certainly not hesitate to use direct ferries again

The port experience at both Newhaven and Dieppe was very efficient , a little waiting to get through border control en route home. The queues for food and drink on the ship disappear after the first hour, so find a seat and relax.

"August crossing in camper van"

The booking arrangements are clear and simple and in cost terms are good value. On both outward and return legs the ferry left and arrived on time and announcements during the crossing in English and French were appropriate and helpful. Seating was adequate but we did not purchase food. Toilets were clean. The loading and off-loading were very well organised and inspired confidence.

Just back from a trip to France - crossed from Newhaven to Dieppe - really very good. Ship smart and clean, staff good - and easy access to onward journey by arriving at Dieppe. Only gripe would be length of time to unload when you have been one of first on - had to wait for lower decks to be cleared. But everything else was really good.

"Like ferries used to be!"

We chose this ferry instead of Dover Calais as my family were getting more and more concerned about the hold-ups. We are P&O unit holders and travel to France every six weeks or so which made this crossing more expensive. The whole process is slower and on a more human scale. The staff are polite and un-stressed and the on- board French staff clearly enjoyed their work. We were pleasantly surprised by the lack of coach parties and the consequent availability of seating; which is often an issue on the Dover Calais route. The journey reminded us of the days of the old P&O Portsmouth/Le Havre crossing which always left us relaxed and ready to start our onward journey. The only problem we can see with making this our regular route is the availability of crossings at times we can make. Many thanks, David.

"A great service with one small problem..."

I love the service I received on DFDS. The staff were very helpful and the facilities were great. The load and unload was smooth and fast - so much nicer than flying! Booking the accommodation was the issue we had. We booked a cabin and then had to amend our booking to include our child. Once this was done however, it said that we didn't have a cabin anymore. We paid for the cabin and the amendment wouldn't have affected this part of our booking. Luckily staff were very helpful and found us a cabin but we were very disappointed by this and won't be booking with Direct Ferries again.

"Overcoming Pet Passport Problems"

In spite of the fact that we have traveled back to UK with our two dogs on their pet passports, a simple mistake by a vet was picked up by the DFDS check in person which led to us missing our ferry, spending half the night in an hotel before reporting back at 0430 in time for the next ferry. It also involved a visit to a local vet in dieppe to have a UK vet's certificate, faxed to the DFDS office, authenticated by him. All this on the direction of DFRA. I cannot say enough about the help given by the lady who checked us in and the lady in reception at Dieppe. They organised the local vet visit and booked our hotel. Don't know their names but they need a pat on the back. The crossing was uneventful on a beautiful calm sunny day.

"Ferry trip Dieppe to Newhaven"

Please Direct Ferries can you please look at putting the post code for the ferry terminal on the confirmation sheet so your customers can put it straight into their satnav. The trip its self was fine apart from slightly over priced food and drink but on arrival at Newhaven the loading ramp was out of action so we all had to sit there for another 30-40 minutes while it was repaired. Not a huge problem in its own but to sit there having to look at the Newhaven ferry terminal with its tatty roof and a broken down portacabin was embarrassing for us Brits. Please get someone to dispose of the cabin and see if they can tidy up the building. I maybe Scottish but I'm also proud to be British.

At a price that blew all the competion out of the water, we had good meals and comfortable seating. It's just a pity though, as with all cross channel ferries, the provision of a comfortable and economic sleeping facilities does not exist for those who cannot afford a cabin on the overnight crossing. A rethink on the Recliner Seats is desperately needed; very few people can sleep in them, most opt for whatever floor space is available.

"Good value"

Used this crossing to take a van to and from France. Booking in, loading and offloading were very efficient and the cabins we were allocated were fine although the shower/toilet smelled slightly on both crossings - maybe because both of them were quite rough and there had probably been a lot of cleaning to do between crossings. Being a smaller boat than some, it was not quite as stable in the rough weather as those on other crossings. There was the usual annoyance of the cabin card key failing to work until the tenth attempt and the premature rush to have you out of the cabins well before there was a need to go down to the car deck. Food was probably OK but,in spite of our intention to eat on board, it looked decidedly unappetising so we settled for a cup of machine coffee instead. Overall an OK crossing providing good value but not one where you could say "Our holiday starts here"

"Overnight to Le Havre"

Great trip, we sailed out at 11pm so booked a cabin which proved to be well worthwhile. The ferry was well run at check in, clean and tidy, all the staff were excellent, extremely helpful and polite. Food and drink was tasty and reasonably priced. The cabin was clean, with a good shower and facilities. Our home trip sailed at 5pm back to the UK, super crossing, again great service, and very organised, we will definitely use this service again.

We took the Portsmouth to La Havre (overnight) and day return the next week. In both cases we booked outside cabins which were clean and tidy. Both journeys were exactly on time (departing and arriving) with efficient loading and offloading. We did not visit the restaurant mainly due to the limited hot meal selection. All in all we were pleasantly surprised this being our first long ferry trip (we usually us Eurotunnel)

"Maybe Only Once"

I have nothing bad to say about the ship itself or her crew. They were friendly and courteous, from the men moving the cars onto the ferry, to the crew on deck. The food was decent, if bland for my taste, and plentiful. Prices on board weren't as bad as I feared. The ship departed and arrived promptly, and the ferry service was fast and efficient. It was a rough crossing, very choppy, and for some mysterious reason many of the toilet stalls were locked. This led, later in the voyage, to vomit being left unflushed in the toilets that *were* open. Vomit in the seats, too, that the poor crew were trying desperately to clean up quickly, rubber gloves and all. The men's toilets began to reek when you passed. Thank goodness I'm female. My main complaint is about the passengers. For some reason Brits seem to feel that their children should be allowed to run amok in the lounges, even though there was a play area with a film showing. Despite it being a rough crossing, by the fourth hour of the 5-hour voyage, there were children running up and down the staircases, sliding down the bannisters, and horsing around in front of the gift shop, with nary a parent in view. There didn't seem to be any crew members to monitor the children (or their parents) and get them off the stair rails. I must stress, the water was very rough, the ship was bucking and rolling, and people were letting kids as young as four or five muck about on the stairs while this was happening. I kept hoping one of them would fall off and hurt himself slightly so the parents would pay attention. So, in a nutshell. Ship? Good. Crew? Good. Facilities? As much as can be expected on a ferry. More open toilet stalls would have been a good idea considering how rough the seas were. The passengers? It's understandable that Brits have such a poor reputation overseas. Their lack of attendance to their kids was shameful. And dangerous. So next time, maybe I'll make the long drive back up to Calais and take the Chunnel instead.

I recommend this ship mainly for the very competitive cost of travel to France. It is however kept back from being excellent by the poor bar service (too few serving) and the lack of bar food which had run out shortly after sailing. Also the ship decor appears to be a little tired and needs uprating. Overall a pleasant experience.

"Not necessarily the right crossing if you have a long onward drive"

Be warned, there are no benches on the boat, only hard upright chairs! So if you're thinking you can get some decent sleep before a long onward drive, then you either need to fork out for a cabin, fight for a more comfortable seat in the TV viewing area or come prepared: those in the know had brought bed rolls, li-los and even a hammock! The rest of us slept fitfully or semi-sleepwalked round the boat. The staff were very friendly, though. And the route and timing makes sense for many onward journeys.

The last time I travelled on this route was with LD Lines and this was quite luxurious but this is the no-frills alternative. Seats in the lounges were big but not totally comfortable especially on the overnight crossing so any sleep you can get is a bonus. Facilities were quite good and the cafeteria reasonably priced compared to some other ferries so all in all it offers a good alternative especially if you are heading towards the South West because of the time saved in driving. Will be using again.

"Crossing"

If travelling with kids I would recommend taking food. The buffet restaurant food for children I found to be poor and the food was cold by the time we got to our tables, luckily they provide microwaves to heat it up. Our crossing back was very rough and the ferry very busy. The children played in the soft play area and people complained about the noise. They were being no louder than would be expected of 2-4 yr olds playing in a designated soft play area. I do think there should be signs up by seats the play area warning warning people who sits on nearby seats that there is a children play area nearby and to expect associated noise.

"Not sure we shall use Transmanche Ferries again"

We were very disappointed with our journey to Newhaven on the evening of 21 June. We both had a meal at the restaurant which was of very poor quality. My husband had fish and chips - the batter was very hard and unappetising. I had Boeuf Bourginonne which was more like a school dinner stew. The chips were far too large. The cutlery is horribly cheap and nasty. After a long journey from where we live, it was very disappointing. And with some very synthetic puddings, one small bottle of wine and a fruit juice,the bill was over 30 euros!! Then when we arrived at Newhaven, we were called to our cars. We sat in semi-darkness and fumes on the car deck, for around half an hour. There was no information at all about the delay which was the worst thing. People with children and animals must have had an awful time. Why do passengers get called down so early when you are clearly not ready for car drivers to disembark? Also if there is a problem (which we appreciate can happen with the lorries) then surely some sort of an apology could be given, even when we were leaving the ship. We doubt whether we will use Transmanche Ferries again which is a shame as Dieppe - Newhaven is the most convenient route for us.

"Confidence restored in ferry travel"

We travelled as a family group of eight ranging in ages from 9 months to 68 years and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our passage from Newhaven to Dieppe and back again, a week later. The facilities aboard The Seven Sisters, the name of our ship, were excellent; the grandchildren spent a lot of their time socialising in the Ball Pit, and the bars, restaurants and shop were all well stocked and served by helpful and cheerful staff and met the requirements of all of us. We booked one outside cabin as a ''bolt-hole', which was very nice indeed and more spacious than we expected but we had no need to use it on either journey. It is a spacious ship and going for a wander about the decks, was a pleasure; we were lucky to have beautiful weather on both voyages and to stand outside on the upper deck was exhilerating. We were warned of rougher weather on our return journey but we did not notice it; I did read in the info, prior to going, that the ships (two of them on this route) were fitted with state of the art stabilisers, (or something like that!) so that must make a difference, I'm sure. We have not travelled by ferry for years as sea-sickness was a bit of a lasting memory from we last travelled from Portsmouth but this experience reminded us of the fun and pleasure that it can be; we are now thinking about when we can go again, from Newhaven.

Although initially intending to travel from Portsmouth to Caen, due to circumstances beyond our control my elderly mother and myself travelled from Newhaven to Dieppe. The crossing was punctual, the check-in staff very efficient and helpful in arranging for our car to be near the staircase. Although the on-board entertainment/shop etc are not very exciting, and the restaurant facilities fairly basic, we felt it represented good value for money - apart from the cabins, which seemed extortionately priced, and which we therefore did not bother with.

"Variable food quality, disembarkation delays."

We have taken this ferry on a number of occasions, and want to do so again. BUT the quality of catering can vary: on the most recent trip were ordered fish and chips which were of poor quality. We asked for these shortly after the kitchens opened on the outward crossing. I later realised that we had probably been served re-heated portions from an earlier crossing, because I saw other clients with much healthier looking portions of both the fish and chips - ours were dry and hard. At £20 for two, that's not good enough. On the outward journey our disembarkation was much delayed and no reason given - some 40 minutes or so I would guess, much of it spent waiting in the car. Our return journey was efficient and quite speedy.

"Great Service!"

Lovely ship, when you get to the port just park up in line and wait for the gates to open if you have your booking confirmation print out. Don't be fooled by the sign at Newhaven that shows 'FAST FERRIES' there are no different speeds to choose from.

"Newhaven Dieppe."

Trip was OK in both ways. It does take a bit long getting in and out of the ship. It is a very basic ferry, don't expect much, very noisy when manoeuvring in the harbour staff were friendly.

"No problem"

The ferry left on time and arrived on time so no complaints really. Embarkation was fairly quick but it is not a huge ferry. The only thing I would say they could improve is information given over the microphone. People don't articulate and i find it hard to understand in both French and English languages. I took the ferry on LD lines on my way back and things were said very clearly.

Great value for our money! Quick and pleasant journey! Only tiny problem with the food! Wish there was more sandwiches like self service type of food rather than canteen type!

"My crossing"

Lovely crossing, food way over priced, and not very nice. Cabins were great. It's a shame the boat looks shabby in places, and the toilets are too small.

"Lovely trip"

Family short-break holiday to France was enhanced by a lovely crossing both ways. Helpful staff in the restaurant and good quality food at prices you would expect (not cheap but not excessive). Booked a cabin both ways - which was great and helped us catch up on our sleep. Very clean and would highly recommend. Only negative was that we departed 30 minutes late from Dieppe with no explanation.....but we were on holiday!

"Newhaven to Dieppe crossing with Trans Manche"

Wanted to spend a few days over the Easter with friends in France without breaking the bank and found this route from Newhaven to Dieppe, as well as being the closest to home (Tonbridge) was also the cheapest. Check in was relatively quick and we were on board and on our way without any undue delay. The 4 hour crossing passed quite quickly which was good if like me, you don't have "sea legs". On the return journey unfortunately there was a "technical fault" delaying our departure by 2 and 3 quarter hours, but we were given food vouchers as we boarded the ship for a hot meal and drink which was decent of them. Despite the return league also being the "most choppy" the captain made good time and docked back in Newhaven 3 quarters of an hour early.

"Pleasant trip"

I travelled with some friends. Departed for Newhaven at 5:30 in the morning, be better if left a bit later. The ship left 45 mins late but still arrived on time! The crew were rather pleasant too. For €40 quality of travel is modest.

"Amazing ferry!"

We travel to Block island in the USA by ferry, so we expected something like it for our crossing. We were so amazed to see your ferry. It looked like a cruise ship. We loved our 4 hour crossing, very delightful.

"A relaxing cruise"

I used the Newhaven-Dieppe route for the first time recently and found the whole experience enjoyable. The ports are less busy and unhurried; the ship very clean and smart; the service and staff polite, helpful and pleasant. The journey time of four hours, although twice that of Dover runs, passed easily and when I travelled the price was very competitive. I saved 140 miles each way on my trip to Basse Normandy so not only was this the most enjoyable trip I've made, it made for shorter time at the wheel and lower fuel cost. Many thanks.

"Newhaven to Dieppe"

This is the first time I have used this Route. An excellant service at Newhaven and On-board provided for both crossings. Due to the heavy snow falling in France I managed to arrive one day early for the return crossing to the UK.

"Bicycle storage"

I travelled on the Seven Sisters on Saturday September 15th 2012 (5.30 sailing). Everything was great apart from one detail, which is still rather important. The bikes are kept in a place at the rear of the boat in unacceptable conditions: wooden pallets, scrap, rusted and twisted ropes and bikes are piled on top of each other! I was hoping during the whole crossing that my bike, worth 2000€, wasn't damaged. Miraculously it remained intact. Hopefully these conditions will be improved.

"Inefficient"

I have travelled with LD lines on a number of occasions between Newhaven and Dieppe. The 'at sea ' time is about 3.5 hours but if you include loading/unloading it can be up to 5 hours of queueing/waiting/sailing. This week for instance on arrival in Newhaven we were asked to go to our car deck to disembark and then waited for almost 1 hour before moving off - every other van/truck on the vessel went first. Furthermore, I did not think that the boat was particularly clean or tidy on this occasion and the food was overpriced and underwhelming. I live close to Newhaven so the sailing is convenient but the standards are slipping and I may consider going elsewhere.

"Foot Passengers Treated like Cattle"

The good bits: The ship left and arrived on time. Seating comfortable. The less good bits: Staff somewhat "jobsworth"; fine until something happens which upsets the routine - like a fellow passenger who wanted to pay for tea and coffee separately in sterling and Euros (yes she was awkward, but the bar staff had no idea how to accommodate her); or consenting to give me tap water in a glass rather than a plastic cup. The still less good bits: one of the lights failed in one of the toilets on the journey out to Dieppe on the Friday. On the journey back on the Sunday it still hadn’t been repaired. The really bad bits: 45 minutes of faffing about at either end, whilst the foot passengers queued up to be herded through one door, then out of another door, penned up like cattle out of doors - no seats, no cover (and three steps down with no wheelchair ramp) - looking at an empty bus for twenty minutes, then on to the bus - which then travelled 300 yards - off the bus again. At this point I was fully expecting to see a white rabbit disappear into the car deck. It was so bad, it was actually funny. Staff seemed to be making everything up as they went along, but with no real ability to improvise. When I finally burst out laughing at the sheer absurdity of it all, I got a look from a staff member, so murderous, I really wondered whether I was safe. I suppose that foot passengers are a damned nuisance to the company. They’re still paying passengers, who deserve a decent service. Transmanche really does need to re-think this whole process. Oh, and signs at both terminals showing the way to the town, and to the station would be handy. Of course, allowing foot passengers to arrive at Newhaven Harbour station, rather than Newhaven Town would solve almost every problem. I get the sense that Transmanche is a profoundly badly managed company, with managers who do not have much imagination, and who, I suspect, regard both passengers and their staff as objects of the gravest suspicion, rather than really wanting to support either one or the other. A shame, because popping across to Dieppe could be a really nice thing to do. I won’t be doing it again for a very long time. (And the food in the self-service restaurant is pretty so-so.)

"Welcoming ferry - pleasant trip!"

Me and my cousin decided to cycle from Paris to London for a charity organisation. We crossed the channel on board the Seven Sisters on May 6th 2012. The staff on board were very welcoming: on the deck garage, at the cafeteria and the reception we experienced service with a smile and all efforts were made to ensure our trip was as pleasant as possible. Thank you to Directferries, Miss Chapin and the Seven Sisters' crew for supporting us in our sporting challenge for the charity organisation SOS Children's Villages.
