The staff kept us waiting almost an hour from the time of arrival till allowing us off the ferry. I missed my onward connection. In addition, the bus doesn't run from the port on a sunday night, so the foot passengers were stranded until someone called us a very expensive taxi.

I travel to France alot with my job and for private reasons alot and over the years iv seen a change. P&O was a great company back in the 00s and then they started to lack on friendly staff and the food wasn't so good. The food was like rubber and very over priced. Since the big change again iv noticed a change. Now the staff are friendly and the vessels are kept clean to a high standard it's all done really well and the food is really nice.

"Recent P&O crossing "

We recently travelled to Dover from Calais on the 17.20 crossing . Comms from Direct ferries and P&O were good. We arrived at Calais at 15.20, an hour before check in closed but despite this didn’t get onboard until 19.50. In all comms we were told a 30 - 45 min delay not 2.5 hrs. We were at the ferry port for a total of 4.5 hrs.. an absolute disgrace. It was absolute chaos, no control of vehicles as people were persistently tying to push into the Queue. The check in gates had 9 open which then funnelled into 6 , then 4 at uk border crossing, then down to two to Queue for the ferry. The ship itself was good, bar and food hall were good but long queues. Duty free was good.This was the first time on a ferry crossing as I’ve always done the Euro tunnel before and I can honestly say that it will be my last. Why does it take so long to go through check in and border control when it’s no where near as chaotic af the tunnel and it’s the same process… ferry companies need to sort this out

"Appalling service"

We bought tickets quite easily, but when the link was sent to add passport details we got a message stating booking can not be found. We were already on our way to the port so we emailed but got no response and decided to sort it out at the port. No one there seemed to care and we got our ferry after all. Then on the Monday in office hours we got a useless reply. What’s the point. ship was dirty and food terrible. The only thing good was the duty free. Never going by ferry again.

"Functional travel."

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. Passport control at Calais was a disaster - queueing with no loos or facilities for 2.5hrs to move 500m. Bring a bottle !! Tunnel next time even if more expensive

Ferry late and on return too. The whole ship smelled like toilet which was disgusting. I would have boycotted P&O because of how they treated their staff recently but hubby wanted it! Untrained and missing staff might be the problem and that need to be sorted. No fried breakfast available anymore, only pre-packed and that did not look appetising! Would not book again with P&O!

"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!

"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.

"Horrendous experience "

Our journey to France was smooth, comfortable and what you expect for the money. Our journey back was terrible. We have a 3 month old baby and shoes the ferry for her comfort, we were stuck for 3.5 hours in queues, no where to change her, feed her and she was in a terrible state. We had no water or resources either. Once we were on the ship the changing Matt was filthy covered in faeces. The food was terribly over priced and so limited , there was no organisation and we had to queue for fish and chips the only substantial hot meal, which we only realised we could queue for when we saw others trying it. I am demanding a refund or I will seek further advice, this was total neglect on families with small babies. They/we should have been prioritised!

Can’t fault the ferry trip but UK Boarder control made us miss the ship even though we’re were at terminal at 3:30 for the 5:20 shocking ques and backlog,due to slow processing of passengers after check in and after French checks

"Horrendous wait "

At calais we waited 3 hours to get through the checks. And after 3 checks we were then put through an explosives check and then when we got back to UK another check. Not once did anyone say 'hi' or 'sorry for the wait today'. We got to calais luckily 3 hours before our time and were planning to have some lunch etc but this didn't happen. Had we planned to arrive the 90mins before as we were told to, we'd have missed our boat and probably the one afterwards. This being said the boat was nice and clean, good facilities and easy disembark but was marred by the situation at calais.

"Never again!!!"

After we arrived on time. Got our boarding pass. Border control decided to slow down the lane we were in. We were already irretrievably late and our ship had departed. No one was in a hurry to put us on the next ship. will listen next. So after four hours I finally burdened myself with two children and a dog. Absolute irresponsibility from the employees who expect you to get better yourself. I am disgusted by the service.

"P&O need to care more for their staff"

Outbound from Dover was delayed and back was on time. The ships staff were trying hard bless them, but the announcements by EAL staff were indecipherable. On the way back we were kept waiting in the stairwell as the staff did not open the stair exits which was extremely dangerous as we were all crammed into the stairways for over 15 minutes. Would not sail with this company becuase of what they have done with their staff - too risky.

I got back yesterday and email the helpdesk for the second time. Direct Ferries cannot charge £245 ,- for amending a different car. This is ridiculous. As in the policy it's mentioned changes will cost £10,-. Please help , and solve this issue.

"Extra charges!"

I was a little disappointed as I desperately needed to change the time as there were a few major accidents on the motor way and we wouldn’t have made it in time for the time we had booked. We spoke with an agent and to change the ticket we had to pay extra. We had already paid a service fee when booking the original ticket. Gentleman wasn’t very helpful at all. Will not be using direct ferries again, better to go direct to the company you are looking to travel with. Direct ferries were originally £10 more expensive then the actual company. Anything to make money and take someone’s problem as an advantage!

Exceptionally slow and questionned us about our relationship to one another which was strange.

"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.

We were foot passengers. The ride itself across the channel itself was lovely, but the 90 minutes of lining up for a bus, loading bags, getting off and back on the bus to line up and show passports, and dragging bags up VERY long ramps to board, coupled with the ferry being a bit late leaving, turned a 90 minute ferry ride into a four hour experience and for the not-so-young it was a bit exhausting.

"Late, late, late"

Our outbound journey was just 15-20 minutes late leaving, so not too bad. For our return, we were booked onto the 15:55 crossing from Calais. However, on the Thursday evening, a couple of days before we were due to travel, I received an email from P&O saying that our crossing had been moved to 17:20. Although irritating, as we would now be quite late back home, we weren’t too worried. However, once we were through border control etc, we were sat in the boarding zone with the other cars & lorries a good 45 minutes before the revised departure time. Sadly there was no sign of our ferry at the dock. The signage showed that our ferry was boarding, even though the boat hadn’t arrived. It did eventually arrive and dock, unloading the incoming cars & lorries and finally allowing us all to board. We pulled away from the dock at 18:25, a further 65 minutes later than the revised schedule. No one told us what was going on.

"Poor food but at least it's free"

After waiting nearly 6 hours to sail with no on-site communication about delays, we were keen to use the meal vouchers we were given, Sadly, there was only what was probably the foulest food I have had in a long time. We were famished after waiting so long, so had to eat or starve. Had we not been so starved by the delays, I would not have touched that food even if you paid me.

I have sailed frequently before Covid (6 times a year or so) my two crossings were late by 1.5hrs and 2 hrs .There is now no eating facilities with the exception of an upgraded vending maching .On display was 1 ,yes 1 sauasge roll and I was told pizzas will be ready in 15 mins (35 mins later I left) . I then ahd to stand in a que of two that did grow for 17 mins to get a coffee .the reason was the till was not operating . when the 6 people around the till did get it to operate I was told that there was a limited choice . Ithen gave up .All in all I will use the crossing again but not through choice. Regards David

"Very poor communication "

During storm Eunice and ahead of my scheduled journey home I tried to get in touch to get information on any possible delays. A voice mail said that offices had closed early and no one was responding to my emails, there was no update on their website and their Twitter feed was down! Several hours before my journey I got through and was told all was fine and boats were on schedule. 1 hour before my journey I got a txt informing me of minor delays! We were delayed by 4 hours! Staff on board confirmed that these delays were in existence since the day before! I had a flexi ticket and would have planned differently if P&O had been honest from the beginning! (They clearly didn't want me to take an alternative means home and put their needs before their passengers).

We left Calais with about 1h40' delay due to rough seas after storm Dudley. It was very nice to receive a box with some nibbles and a drink from the P&O staff to reduce the waiting time. The sailing itself was much smoother than anticipated and we arrived safe and sound in Dover.

We've made two crossings between Dover and Calais in both October and November. The weather was kind to us with 'millpond' conditions on all four crossings. I wish I could thank P&O for this, but of course it's probably beyond even their purview! But P&O has been extremely helpful to us on the crossings, by boarding and parking us next to a lift to facilitate easy access for us to the passenger decks. We are extremely grateful for this kind consideration. Thank you, P&O.

Booked a ferry with P and O through direct ferries but I had to amend the crossing. This was not able to be done on line because the booking included a pet (what difference that makes I wonder), so I had to contact Direct Ferries directly. Telephone lines closed, only by email. My ferry was in less than 24 hours, stayed all this in email, never got a reñoky to my 2 requests. In the end I went directly to P and O, very helpful, problem sorted in 10 minutes. Direct ferries is not necessary, I will not use them ever again.

expensive wifi, inflated prices, delayed departure - do I need to say more? DFDS offers free wifi. Sandwiches & coffee are cheaper on DFDS. Departure was delayed by 45' because of something having to do with loading oil. Apologies were profuse but they didn't correct the departure time. There's no good excuse for this on a passenger ship that's supposed to run according to a schedule.

"Ferry crossing"

Our Calais Dover ferry was delayed by 4 hours due to high winds. P & O gave us a £6 voucher which i spent on a children's portion of fish and chips (once on board) which was very good (the adult portion is very large). We've taken the ferry 3 years running now in February because it's cheaper than the tunnel and I drive a 2.1m high vehicle and those spaces fill out early. The tunnel is also prone to delays at Half term. The ferry also allows you to arrive home fed which is a bonus.

"Poor organisation of P and O ferries"

Whilst travelling back to Dover from Calais on 22nd Feb, we had a 7.5 hour wait for our ferry. Whilst this was explained as bad weather conditions and I appreciate this, I also know from this trip and previous ones that organisation at the ferry port is a nightmare! As the port has both P and O and DFDS ferries, when you arrive there is no way to organise cars into lanes so that the P and O cars go one way and the DFDS cars go another. So as a consequence, you get people who attempt to move cars for DFDS lane through a deluge of P and O cars and this is practically impossible and a great frustration. Also, in our very prolonged waiting time, until you get past the last checkin there is no where to go to the toilet or get a drink. If these delays are inevitable, then these facilities need to be installed.

"The end of the half term holiday nightmare! "

Totally disgraceful! We booked via Direct ferries for a PO ferry to return on the 22nd of Feb, the end of half term weekend. We were informed by a family member that gales were quite severe so after checking on their website (PO); I decided to call & get an update of their service. A nice gentlemen reminded me that I had a flexi-ticket via direct ferries so not to worry too much & “that there were a few delays”. He did not mention that PO had cancelled most of their ferries (only 2 were running) & did not mention there was actually 4/5 hour wait to board if you were lucky. After some wrong turnings coming into Calais we managed to arrive at the first arrivals barrier via a side road that virtually put us 3 yards away from the barrier. However we observed if we had come in on the motorway route (which was totally blocked with cars) we would have not even got a ferry Saturday night. Most people reported that the motorway route involved a 3 hour wait before making it to the arrivals barrier. We waited around 45 minutes (still we had arrived on time, leaving Austria at 9am to make our ferry 8.55 check in). Then at checking in, we were told most ferries were cancelled we could go on the 2.45am PO ferry! Or we could leave at 1.00am on a DfDS ferry. The staff said she could only give out 5 of these passes & we were lucky enough to receive her last one. We then had to wait/queue to check in at DFDS totalling up to another hour. Facilities around were very basic, only vending machines offered the basics & required queuing. This wasn’t adequate whilst travelling with a diabetic husband & autistic little 8 year old. Our 11.30pm ferry departing at 1.00 didn’t in fact depart until 1.45am. It was quite late at night & I think staff could have reminded people to observe which level they were parked on. All toilets were virtually unusable (full of faeces and sick). Sick also had blocked two sinks in the men’s (I refused to go into the women’s). This was at the start of the journey so most likely hadn’t been cleaned from previous trips. Food also required queuing for about 45 minutes as everyone was hungry because of waiting outside with no facilities. Food was so inedible that I left mine (a whole plate). We returned to our car with no problems but we observed some people had obviously lost their cars leading to further delays departing the ferry. Whilst leaving a grumpy staff member told us to go out a different way... at first we thought we were going to be searched? But then realised he was breaking up the traffic, again this caused problems re-negotiating the satnav at 3.30am. We arrived home at 6am. (We probably shouldn’t have drove back but just needed to get ourselves & our autistic boy home). My lesson is to book the euro tunnel earlier in the future; and never use the ferry again. Also my husband and I didn’t feel the sea was that bad; & both of us had travelled in much worse swells, so wondered if cancelling so many ferries on one of the busiest weekends was so wise after all?

Beware of paying in euros at the tills as they convert the money you give (not due) and have a terrible exchange rate. Also don’t buy breathalyser, they scare monger you into buying one to earn monies, though no French person cares about this rule.. it is a legal requirement but there is no fine for not carrying one.

We are frequent channel crossers and after many many years of using the tunnel, we decided to give the ferries another try. Using Eurotunnel is primarily easy and efficient compared to my previous memories of crossing above rather than beneath the waves. Yes it takes a little longer but is just as easy and gives one a nice break in what is otherwise a long drive The shopping facilities are great and the food good, even for the veggies in my family.

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.

"What fun crossing the channel used to be!"

I found the whole experience disturbing. I cannot fault the staff the ones I dealt with were great. However the standard of the boat left a lot to be desired. I appreciate your turnaround is quick but the boat was shabby and sad looking, rather like the majority of the passengers. It was not a pleasant experience and certainly not enjoyable I maybe the tunnel looks a better option.

"Choppy waters"

The ship is fine - what we expected. The delay was a nuisance but the real problem is getting information to customers. In this day and age, it shouldn't be such a problem. The radio traffic report said no delays to ferries as we approached the port. The ferry departure board gave no relevant information at all, just kept the ETD at the scheduled time and yet we were still waiting to board when it said we should have left. The Captain announced the reason for the delay once boarded. It shouldn't be that hard for P & O to find out about and inform customers of weather related delays.

"Border Control Calais"

The whole trip was a nightmare, but to be fair not the fault of P&O We arrived at Calais at around 6.30pm for the 7.55pm ferry. At around 8.45pm we eventually made it to the British Border Control who were painfully slow, especially the line that we were in. When questioned why the process took so long the Border Control Officer retorted that it was their busiest weekend of the year. I told him I could appreciate this but they had known this all year and that it hadn’t suddenly been sprung on them that afternoon. I asked could they not have made contingency plans and opened more lanes but he responded that they were doing the best they could. (Clearly not good enough) we eventually caught the 9.55pm ferry which was then delayed by 25 minutes. Heaven only knows what the situation will be post Brexit!!!!!

"Beware of check in times!"

We were advised that we needed to check in no later than 45 minutes before ferry sailed. This was totally unrealistic. What was not explained was that Check IN desk was after Passport Control and that to get through Passport Control you needed to allow another 30 - 45 mins. So on the way out we arrived with over an hour to spare, but then sat and waited for 30 mins to get through passport cpntrol,. We were then told at Check IN desk that our booked Ferry was full so we couldn't get on it! Very frustrating as we had followed all the information given to us.

"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.

Brexit already started at Calais. Border force processing a car every three to four minutes so missed our ferry despite being over an hour early so crawling for two hours. Seems they are already using manual files for checking ahead of losing EU database access ? Abysmal service from UKBF Not a good start. Ferries are all pretty much the same , catering run by accountants with over priced food at the lowest quality they can get away with. But the sea was nice and the ferry ran on time you can't expect miracles.

Due to a road accident on the M11 causing a log traffic jam, we were delayed on our outward journey and missed our ferry. I telephoned the port and they kindly put us on the next available ferry. 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.

"Easy to use"

I recently travelled Dover/Calais via direct ferries. It was easy. I found all the comparisons for channel crossing easy and would use them again. I paid a supplement to change my booking if needed which turned out to be of great use. I was able to reschedule my return trip easily with a couple of emails to and fro and got on an earlier ferry. The text confirmation was useful as I had misread my paperwork and therefore didn't have to leave earlier than needed as the text helped me double check. Worth the few extra quid. Check was super easy at the port with just the reference number needed at Calais and ANPR cameras at dover so they handed me my boarding tickets/car tag. 1hr 30 was mega quick especially with 2 kids. So easy!

Was underwhelmed by the lack of hand rolling tobacco on both the outbound and return journey on my recent ferry trip with P&O. There was no rolling tobacco behind the bar and Duty free stocks was limited to two brands that i don't like. Staff at the bar promised the situation would be resolved on my return trip some six days later. This was not the case. The situation had not been resolved. The Bar staff on my return journey then gave up the real reason, which was problems with suppliers. So, i ended up coming back to Dover with no tobacco. I do feel that i was led astray by P&O ferries. Had your staff Given accurate information from the outset, I would have made alternative arrangements. So, I will leave it up to you to make good. I smoke G.V. bright. Pleases train your staff to give accurate details on passenger issues to improve quality of service.

we had priority boarding and were literally the first car on board the ferry. We then decided to have 2 English breakfasts. Excellent value for money. There were staff members continually clearing the tables after the passengers had finished their breakfast. We usually travel with another shipping company but will definitely change in the future to P & O.

"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.

"Extremely poor service when things go wrong"

The ships themselves were fine - it was the customer service from both direct Ferries and P&O that was disgraceful on our return journey. The car and caravan we travelled out to France in were destroyed in a crash on a French Motorway and we needed a lot of support getting home. Phoning Direct ferries took an hour in a queue of 16, far from ideal on a mobile abroad, and despite P&O (who answered quickly) telling us it was only Directferries who could assist us as we bought through them, after finally getting through they had to go to P&O - both companies really were unhelpful. I would both carefully review their policies for supporting customers who have been through a traumatic experience such as a crash and offer training in tact, diplomacy and common sense. I wouldn't recommend either company in light of our experiences.

"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

"An old experience pleasantly revived!"

This was probably the first time we had crossed from Dover on a ferry since Eurotunnel and were very pleasantly surprised. The crossing to Calais is only c1.5 hours and there are plenty of comfortable seats, even in the summer holidays (we returned on August 1). Only real drawback was that while in Dover we "sailed" through passport control etc, coming back in Calais we queued for what seemed at least an hour. This would not stop us using the ferry again, but possibly not in the summer holidays (we are semi-retired, so that's not a problem :)

"Incompetent support for cyclists "

Whilst the journey on the ferry was fine and had everything we needed. Once we reached Calais we were made to wait until all other cars were off the ship before we could get off which felt dangerous being so close to moving lorries, coaches etc with just a pushbike. On the journey back from calais we were told to board the ferry after 3 lorries had boarded once on the ferry the lorries were reversing and parking and the staff were not even aware we were there I was almost reversed into by a van being made to move. The staff then had no idea where we should keep our bikes and did not care. There was no bike rack for us to use so we had to use our imagination to secure our bikes to the ship. Again on the way off the ferry we were made to wait whilst all other vehicles disembarked which felt dangerous. On previous journeys with other companies cyclists have been given priority to board first and disembark first with clear understanding of where we can keep our bikes whilst on board which made it easy and safe. I was not impressed and would hesitate to use P&O as a cyclist in the future.

"Horrendous "

We will never travel by ferry again to cross the channel. We were delayed 4 hours. There was virtually no communication and it was clearly a result of the port and company not being able to cope with volume of traffic; useless given you could predict that the first Sat of summer hols would be busy. I am appalled and it ruined the first day of our holiday.

"Dreadful return journey"

I do this crossing often and frequently there are groups of schoolchildren on the ship Usually they are controlled fairly well. This time it was not the case. There were a number of different groups and no apparent teacher presence around any of them! Complaints were obviously made and announcements were made asking children not to run (I was nearly mown down by three large teenage girls careering round a corner) and to keep the volume down. And there was an apology to passengers at the end of the trip. But this was not a pleasant journey home.

There is absolutely NO after sales service with Direct Ferries. No phone number. There is an option to email but they do not get back to you at all and in an emergency situation that isn't good. Once you've taken your outbound journey you cannot ammend your return journey on the website, even if it's a week in advance. Prices are same as with the ferry companies direct so save yourself the hassle and book with them directly. I will never use direct ferries again and suggest you don't either. Our ferry was P&O and even they appologised that they couldn't help us and said it was an ongoing problem they had with direct ferries!

"Max and paddy road trip"

A long time since I've been on a ferry and things have moved on I was well impressed with the standard of the ship and the staff. A little disappointed that certain viewing areas were off limits but that's probably down to H&S which i fully understand. My only disappointment was the school parties were allowed to run wild around the ship which was annoying the other passengers several times your staff had to intervene to stop them annoying other passengers . A tannoy message was sent a couple of times asking for the leaders to stop their groups from running around .one particular area was the soft toy area where they were throwing items around and parents with toddlers couldn't use it. Myself I had just driven nearly 9 hrs and I was using that 1hr 30 to rest as I had another 4 hrs to go this wasnt possible p&o obviously know the schools especially on the 8pm boarder they should let them know that your staff had to leave there own post ie the bar to stop their actions annoying other people . I would add that your staff handled them selves well and emphasize the H&S issues around their actions and not just ploughing ing tell them to be quiet.. well done PO ill be back !!!!

"Poor service and poor facilities make for a poor effort from P&O"

The ferry we had from Dover to Calais was very old and quite grubby. It did the job of getting us from a to b but it wasn’t a very pleasant experience. The area designated for families and children was very tired and the kids area was dirty, most of the toys broken and the seating area to watch the film was basically children’s plastic garden chairs. The ferry from Calais to Dover was newer so cleaner and better equipt but still a poor children’s area and this time no seating to watch the cartoons on the telly. The toys were broken and grubby even on the newer ship. The queue for the canteen on the way home took 45 minutes and when we got there they had hardly any food left, 3 people serving and one person making hot drinks just wasn’t enough. I booked the ferry over the tunnel because I thought it would be a fun experience for the children (2 & 5) but next time I’ll just book the tunnel. Same price and quicker, not that the ferry can compete with timings but the ships were either grim or poorly staffed, sorry P&O but you need to up your game considerably.

First ferry in 20 years, since being a young lad dragged on Dads booze cruises, and holidays to France. Literally, nothing has changed. Tired and dated furnishings, and filthy kids play area. Felt like a UKIP convention/ OAP grand day out, judging the clientele on the boat. Tidy up and modernise if you want to appeal to a generation under 40! I took the kids on the Ferry as a treat over Euro Tunnel. Think I’ll stick to a train next time....

The food service was ok but not particularly imaginative and quite expensive. I’m always staggered at the lack of attention passengers give to the safety broadcasts .. but it’s the same on aircraft, and being ex MN myself I wonder if live drills are carried out on a weekly basis with passengers on board? They should be!

"Excellent"

We always use Eurotunnel but friends wanted to go by ferry, so we booked. It was such a pleasurable journey. We booked the club lounge for just an extra £12 each way per person and it included a glass of champagne and hot drink with biscuits and nuts. The waiter/waitress were so friendly and the lounge was great and quiet as not many seem to know of this great offer. Well worth it.

"Good but a few changes to service would help"

Our car had broken down in France. The two of us had a lot of luggage as we were meeting 4 others in Grenoble. We had a hire car which couldn’t be taken across the Channel. In Calais there are no trolleys available and you have to therefore carry all your luggage. For us this was a problem as you have to leave something unattended at some stage. Also on the ferry. P&O Spirit of Britain the signage for foot passengers doesn’t have a sign to say when you have reached the muster point. That would help.

"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.

"Good service, catering terrible"

Had a good experience all round - check in, punctuality, service, friendliness of staff. The one grudge we have is the catering. The breakfast in the food courts is terrible (low quality ingredients sitting under a heat lamp for hours, none dry sausages, cold beans, burnt toast). Even the tea and coffee in the bar (Starbucks) taste bad. Please improve the quality here, as one pays quite a lot for it as well.

"Amazing experience "

It was our first family trip on the ferry from Dover to Calais and return. Kids enjoyed a lot as it was a lovely experience to travel on a ferry. While returning, we were early from our normal booking time, & P&O took us to an earlier ferry without any questions. The process of getting in the ferry & out was very smooth. Definitely worth exploring the ferry option which is quite cheap compared to Bus or by Euro star.

"On time for once!"

Good to see the outside deck separated into non-smokers and polluters, but why not go a step further and reserve the lower outside deck for the former, and the higher outside deck for the latter? Note that for the question below, I would recommend a friend to use Direct Ferries or a similar site to compare schedule and prices easily. I would not specifically recommend P&O, although on this occasion they suited us well.

I found everything really good on the ferry , the food the service. The only annoying thing was I made a error when booking online . Which I put Calais to Dover instead of Dover to Calais. I was charged £30 extra to swap it over . When I spoke to someone they said slot of people make that mistake when booking online. That was really frustrating and a con . As it was amended in 5 minuets.

"Rip off ferry fairs"

Having booked a return trip to France for the 100 year anniversary of the end of the war, which i had paid for months in advance how disappointing that on the journey from Manchester to Dover no one informed me that the M20 was closed and I would have to make a detour to the port. on arrival i was told my 3-30 ferry was now closed for boarding as I was to late to board the told me my next ferry would be 7-30 and I have to pay a further 60 pounds there and then. I have used P/O for the last 25 years and travel often as my son lives in France, I advise anyone thinking of using P/O in future to check these hidden charges as P/O seem to not care about their passengers. I can say the Ship and Crew were as always excellent. My next trip is New Year but I shall be looking for a new company.

From on line booking the night before, access to the Port, Passport Control, Customs, Boarding and tying down of the Motorcycle it was seamless and time efficient. Sailing was on time and slick. Access to food and drink fast as motorcycles get on first. Ship clean and crew efficient. Again one of the first off and on my way. Easy peasy. At the most it took 30 minutes longer than the Chunnel but hey at almost a third of the price of the Chunnel it was a no brainer bargain. A welcome time to relax for an hour in comfort and give the bum a rest. Have a bit of lunch. From a previous fan of the Chunnel to now a fan of the Ferry.

"Extra charges"

Upon arrival at the Dover ferry terminal (two hours early), we were told that we would either need to pay an additional £60 to board the next ship or leave the terminal area. We were advised that, had we paid an additional £20 at the time of booking, we could have had a four hour window of flexibility, but this was not obvious when I purchased the tickets on-line. For the return journey, we were early again, but P&O let us onto the next ship which was leaving within half an hour. This is the first time in many crossings that we have encountered this issue, always having been let aboard the next available crossing. What made this even more unusual was that the Dover - Calais crossing was virtually empty whilst the Calais - Dover ship was very full. Otherwise, the crossings were fast and comfortable except for the huge amount of noise coming from hundreds of school children, usual mediocre quality/outrageous prices of food and the laughable exchange rates offered by the bureaux de change to people who hadn't the foresight to buy their Euros in advance from somewhere sensible.

"Smooth journey"

Our trip went well. The only annoying part is the 45minutes cut-off before departure. We were there a few minutes less and were not allowed on anymore. However, we were simply booked to the next one which was great as our ticket was for that specific boat and I was afraid we would have to pay to get onto the next one. Also we had not been able to specify our license plate or car make as we got a rental car but this did not lead to any problems either. There's always some spot you can find for a quick nap. The temperature on the ferry is quite low though, so be prepared to sit around in your jacket.

"resting while crossing the channel"

The ship was immaculate and a curry and rice at the self-service canteen very good. MY ONLY COMPLAINT (which is repeated once again ) is that in spite of some correspondence with a former Manager at Dover at least 6 years ago and several repeat requests since, P&O persistently ignore the fact that travellers often have to travel many many miles once they leave the ferry (and having probably having travelled many miles already to get to the ferry) are tired. In my case about 400 miles plus 280 miles after leaving ferry. THEREFORE it behoves P&O to catch up with DFDS who have something better,in the way of a reclining seat lounge and provide P&O passengers with FULLY RECLINING SEATS so that they can get a proper rest during the crossing. At present there is a scramble to find the few long benches upon which to have a sleep and the unlucky ones then have to make do. COME ON P&O. Push the boat out a bit an d be a bit innovative when you build a new ship?. Even perhaps modify the existing ones to catch up with DFDS??

"P&o Dover-Calais-Dover. "

Right throughout our travelling itinerary, we had a great experience with P&O at both Dover (outbound), and Calais (inbound). There was practically no waiting around, at either port, to board the vessel with our car. The staff were very friendly, and quick at getting things organised. We didn't eat from the Food Courts, so I can't give the food an overall rating, but their sandwiches etc were pretty nice. We had a great experience with P&O, and will definitely be using them again for future travels to Europe.

I just receive coins worth £96 and the rest of winnings I’ve receive a form from exchange office saying that the rest of the money I will hopefully receive them on my British bank account . The annoying thing is that I was playing more than £100 and suddenly when machine pays out ALL SHIP doesn’t support the payment,this shouldn’t happen. Is like you play on casino on bigger cruise ship and they told you that they don’t have to pay out ! Anyhow everything on the ship was spot on including staff which explained situation.

"Luxury and excellent service!"

We arrived an hour early for our crossing to Calais and we’re booked on with no problem, which was surprising since we’d bought a ‘Saver’ ticket which couldn’t be changed. The queue we were in to go through to embarkation was closed for no apparent reason, leaving at least 6 cars stranded tail to tail! On board, we had fab service from staff in the Luxury Club Lounge, very attentive. Our trip from Calais to Dover cost us £60 extra because we opted to sail at 15:20 rather than 18:50, we could have sailed at 17:20 for free but we didn’t want to wait, having a 4 hr drive home after landing. The French guy in the ticket booth was very helpful and gave us advice for next time.

"Quick channel crossing"

Quick and efficient embark/disembark. Let us jump on our return ferry, although we were 20 minutes late getting to Calais due to traffic jams! Food not overly good in restaurant. Preferred coffee bar & lounge. Shopping on board had some very good deals. Got a case of bubbly and craft beers at good prices.

I treated myself to club this time. I. So glad I did as it was an excellent experience. Staff were so friendly, met my every wish and service very prompt. Good free glass of champagne and a comfortable view. The form beef sandwich a little strange and difficult to eat at such low coffee tables but good ideas in the right direction.

Great travel experience... from checking in at Dover to boarding the ferry, greeted by helpful staff. Stress free journey.

The whole experience was very streamlined and efficient - Though always a bit confusing as you approach and enter the terminal - especially on the french side. Get there early enough and there is a good chance they will put you on an earlier ferry. NB Don't sit in the family designated area next to the children's play area - VERY noisy!

"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.

"Saving time"

We travelled to UK and took P&O. First time for our kids and we really wanted them the feeling to travel across the sea to get to the UK, seeing the coastline of France disappearing and that of UK approaching. It was an amazing experience of course. As we both times were very early at the check-in and they had free space, we were askey to go on the ferry earlier and that was great. Kind and friendly sraff and great to have the open terrace at the back of the boat and the huge windows at the front, so target met.

"Awful queuing system"

To take four hours between arriving in Calais and getting on a ferry, with three kids in the car, is bad but possibly understandable on a busy day. HOWEVER to see some queues at passport control (the ever so Brexit ready British side) whistling through ten times quicker than the others, and then meet people on the ferry who were nominally in the same queue but were processed in less than an hour is infuriating. Will avoid Calais from now on. Ferry itself was fine and efficient but severely let down by the organisation at the port.

The sailing itself was nice and the facilities were good. Getting on the ship was chaos. There is a high volume of people but the system for dealing with it was fairly non existant. There were queues everywhere and people were let through who hadn't been waiting as long as other people. It would put me off travelling this route again. The sailings from Portsmouth seem much more organised.

"A game of two halves"

Outbound (Dover-Calais) at the end of July fairly early on a Tuesday morning was fine. No queues, UK Passport check cursory, French passport kiosk closed, car park orderly, seating available on the ferry and trouble free disembarkation at Calais. The return journey late Saturday afternoon on 1 September was altogether different. Long queues on the approach to the port attributed to people or objects on the road (no evidence of this) hot weather, frayed tempers, aggressive driving especially by the lorries who have and are prepared to assert priority, chaos in the car parks. The system was completely overwhelmed. What took 5 minutes in July lasted well over an hour in September, the French blamed the refugees and the English, the English would blame the French (it's their port) and the ferry companies did their best. There was a curious lack of any sense of urgency by British Customs who were there in numbers. Conditions on the boat (I was reallocated to an earlier sailing which was slightly delayed so it made little difference timewise) were crowded, hardly any available seating (the ferries really ought to do something about a few passengers sleeping across 3/4 spaces), constant noise and the few toilettes wholly unable to cope with demand. There was the usual mad stampede to disembark. An experience to forget, but we'll all do the same next year. My ratings below are for the on board facilities (and I didn't sample the catering). Calais itself wouldn't rate even 1 star on that showing.

"The most awful delay at Calais. 3.5 hours to check in. "

Ferry when we got onto it was fine. But it took us 4hours 15minutes to check in and finally get on the boat. We arrived at 5.30pm hoping to get an earlier sailing but after covering 2 miles in 3.5 hours in a traffic jam to get to check in we only just got on our scheduled sailing. Admittedly this was at a busy time but this sort of delay and slow check in time is ridiculous. I will be using the tunnel in future even if it is a few quid more and trying to avoid weekend crossings. Nightmare

"Good in parts"

Going across the ferry was dirty. Obviously hadn’t had time to clean up before we embarked. Coming back was a fiasco. P and O texted everyone to say it was really busy, come early. As a result it seemed every Brit on the continent arrived at once, resulting in chaos. No checking what time we were supposed to leave, people with 7.15 ferries were on the 3.15. People who should have left couldn’t because after queuing for an hour to approach the port we were herded like sheep into lanes with no rhyme or reason. In sight of the check in desks, no not even that was simple. Turned off to be stacked in lanes. A total mess. Once on board it was fine, so our review stars relate to the ship, rather than the port, which was diabolical.

"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.

Leaving the UK was a breeze,very efficient. Unfortunately, leaving Calais was a nightmare. The queue to border control was relatively short, and a couple of extra lanes were opened. The queue moved very, very slowly, a couple of lanes were then closed and lanes had to merge. It took well over 90 minutes from joining the queue to getting on the ferry. P&O presumbly have no control over how border control operates, but it would be nice to know why it took so long on that particular day. No problems on the ferry, friendly helpful staff, reasonably priced breakfast and clean facilities.

We were at Dover nice and early, hence no queue which was great. It was perfect as it made the journey quite pleasant. The journey to Calais was only one and a half hours, so we ventured around the ferry. Found a comfortable place to sit with the family. It was a pleasant trip. On our return, it was also smooth sailing. We were early and fortunately they put us in the earlier ferry ( an hour early) which means we arrive UK even earlier that made it even better. This time I managed to buy a duty free perfume which made my day. Again we found a nice place to sit and enjoyed family time. Overall the journey was lovely and pleasant.

"Best Way to Europe from The North"

North Sea crossing: very handy just to be able to board, relax, have a meal and a snooze and wake up at port destination. Beats the drive down to Dover any day! The grub is as good as it gets onboard ship, and the table wine is fairly priced. The cabins are rather small, but very clean and fit for purpose. The top bunk is for the agile. All lounges are comfy and clean. Staff always helpful and friendly. Boarding/disembarkation, partly governed by border formalities, takes a little longer than the short crossings. On a recent Dover crossing, my wife missed not being able to head straight away for our cabin and put her feet up! I've been using these ships since they came into service nearly thirty years ago.

"17:15 CROSSING 11/8/2018"

What a downhill experience we has just encountered in the last fortnight traveliing with P and O Ferries. From entering Dover on the 27th July and being held up,for an hour and a half,getting on the ship,so full nowhere to sit. Queuing for an hour for a cup of coffee, Return journey equally as frustrating,as booked on 17:15 eventually left an hour later later. I misinterpreted signs from chap giving directions,then to be shouted at,and had to try and to three point turn in the middle of incredibly busy ship,totally embarrising. Signs during boarding could be substatially improved. My daughter was in the same queue,they were forgotten to be loaded,and were offred a derisory cup of coffe coupon,waited a further hour and a half with two children under six in the car.She will be complaing separately. All in all,next year,forget ferries,I'll be on eurotunnel

"Better than Eurotunnel"

It was easier better managed and quicker than using Eurotunnel who cant seem to manage preplanned surges in demand. The only downside is the extortionate price of food on board, I mean I have seen expensive but this was just crazy expensive. Take a packed lunch folks. I reckon that they would have substantially more business onboard if the prices were lower. Regardless I will be a return customer and never use Eurotunnel again.

"Dover good but avoid returning from Calais"

From Dover was very good but avoid returning from Calais as it's a mess. Don't understand how a major port can get anything so drastically wrong. Queues to get to P&O, or DFDS, checkin are horrendous - with no reason other than simple directions. After UK border checks everyone trying to switch lanes & just causing jams & chaos. Dover does it right so why not Calais? Only saving grace is when you miss your booked ferry P&O switch you to next ferry, but why would anyone want to return via Calais in its current setup?

"Summer Dover Calais Holiday Crossing"

A very good experience with good facilities on board the ferry, plenty of space to move around and good organisation in getting the vehicles to their parking brith. The only concern we had was that we didn't factor in that there would be a queue for customs and this meant that despite leaving an extra 15 mins on top of the 45 recommended we were close in missing our slot on the ferry.

"P and o review"

We have recently got back from france on p and o ferries. The ferry was clean and had good facilities. The catering though was mediocre at best. There was a kids meal which was poorly stocked and took ages to put through the till, with the till not recognising the three items chosen and pricing it incorrectly - and the staff on the till not being either trained or empowered to sort it out quickly. The signage for the hot food was poor and inaccurate. Once through customs, it was quick. The UK side of customs on the way out was horrendous - and only likely to get worse with Brexit. As such, unlikely to go by ferry next year unless the ferry operators can sort it out with the customs people.

" don't recommend direct ferries"

No problems on board P&O Ferries, clean, punctual service as expected. I recommend that you avoid booking through Direct Ferries as their customer services cannot be reached on the phone. Twice on two separate days I spent half an hour on hold only to be cut off. Luckily then I remembered that I had paid with PayPal and they gave me a full refund, which only took 5 minutes. I strongly recommend you book with a different booking agent as direct Ferries clearly do not wish to speak to their customers!

"France on Holiday"

This was the first time taking the ferry across to France on holiday with a car packed with family and bags. I included priority boarding (mainly as my kids inherit their patience from their mother) and I wanted a nice leisurely start to the holiday. This was a good move, and meant being first on and first off at the other side. They do seem to decant the ferry very quickly and efficiently so I’m not sure how much time it actually saved, but it certainly helped with this being our first time. I also included Club Lounge Access in my booking and when we arrived the staff were very welcoming and helpful and the kids were soon connected to Wi-fi and enjoying the drinks and snacks; making this part of the journey quite relaxed and stress free for my wife and I. My wife and daughter did go downstairs to go shopping and it was very busy apparantly, but the lounge was pretty quiet and relaxing and was a good way to enjoy the ferry voyage with good views around the ship.

"Disgusted "

Our ferry was cancelled a few days before sail date. The amended time was only emailed 12hrs before revised departure. Ferry has a lack of seating and there were too many people onboard. It's not a good experience with people sleeping on the floors and laying on seating with feet on tables. The Starbucks onboard was poorly made and order was incorrect the staff were rude too. There was a smell of vomit onboard in the sofa area. We will travel by eurotunnel next time as it's a much better service in every way.

"Vegan food "

Two things firstly it was very easy to queue up at the wrong ticket entry point after the passport checking point. It should be made very clear on which way to go. Secondly and more importantly there are no vegan food options in the cafes you had only one meal option in the food court. In the cafes you actually sell a falafel and hummus wrap, for some unknown reason this contained milk making it only vegetarian this wrap really ought to be vegan. With the rise in demand for vegan food which is clear from the major chains now everybody is jumping on the bandwagon it would be nice to see more options going forwards in the future. Other than that I had an enjoyable trip and would use P & O again.

"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

"Long trip home"

Took Spirit of Britain Calais to Dover on way home from a trip to Le Mans as I had missed the ferry I had booked from Dieppe earlier in the day and found I could get an earlier return if I booked from Calais. I drove to Calais and paid a premium price £114 one way and after sitting on the quayside for what seemed an eternity we were boarded - although I was one of the first to park up I was one of the last on board and my car was located on the higher deck so left last on arrival. He boat left an hour late. Due to engine trouble we had a slower crossing. As it was foggy most of the way it was not an option to enjoy the late evening sunshine. There were a few coaches of noisy kids on board but it was not packed so avoiding them in club lounge worked at an additional cost of £14. We docked an hour late if I had paid £45 as advertised on line it would have seemed acceptable ...... as I'd paid a lot I was somewhat disappointed.

"Always a relaxing way to get to France!"

We turned up almost an hour early on our day of departure and as a consequence, we were ushered onto the earlier ferry which was nice (and something that never, I repeat never happens if you fly!) and the crossing left on time and arrived on time. Facilities on board were good though we found the shopping area very expensive but on a par with most airport shops now that duty free is almost a thing of the past. The only downside was the very limited outside space which seemed dominated by illiterate smokers (ie: they invaded Non Smoking areas on both crossings.) Aside from that, staff were polite, the ships (there and back) were clean and tidy and aside from the pricey food/gifts, the whole experience was very good. We would always recommend P&O ferries as being the best way to travel to Northern France for value for money and ease of use and this crossing was no exception.

"First at port, last to unboard "

Having chosen the ferry over the tunnel for the first time and having looked forward to the crossing, we felt very disappointed with the service. In Calais we were one of the very first to arrive, almost 2 hours ahead. There was no earlier ferry we could take, so we waited for ages with practically no facilities apart from a toilet and a coffee machine! Then we were one of the later ones to board and the very last row to unload in Dover in the midst of all the lorries, which lengthened the journey by a further ½ h. The entire crossing with waiting , ferry delay and unloading took almost 4 hours! Absolutely exhausting after a long drive. We will not be doing this again!

"Bit of a rip off"

The ferry itself was no more or less than expected. My complaint is about the catering. Firstly the food is of poor quality and overpriced for what it is - pretty much school dinners. Secondly, there was no decaf coffee which in this day and age is really unacceptable. Finally do not pay in euros. The exchange rate is quite frankly criminal and totally unjustifiable, particularly given that on returning from France one is likely to only have euros. We paid with a 5 Euro note for 2 bags of crisps totalling £1.74 and were given £1.04 in change!! Total rip off. I will not travel with P & O again if at all possible.

"System is doggie & Discrimination"

R.Smith 3456 from Dover office P&O had a very bad reaction , offensive for us because we booked the ferry a day before and we couldn't travel due to some insurance issues, they said the car shows in the system twice but the car was with us so the car wasn't in France yet. We explained everything but he didn't believe us he said that Romanian are making things difficult for them and he threw our passport and id card on the table.

It was a pretty rough crossing due to weather conditions, the captain asked passengers to sit down to lessen the movement.

"Traveling with my dog!"

Having to leave the dog in the car for the crossing is always a bit of concern for any pet owner, but I know what damage my dog has done to seat belts on a short trip! I use a crate inside the car, which only just fits it’s the seats forward, so can only put it in place when the car is parked on the ferry. P & O do all they can to made the crossing as easy as possible with the dog, by putting me onto the next available crossing at no charge, putting the car in a separate lane and loading first. The car was positioned along side the fans, which helps to give a white noise to drown out the ones that would make a dog bark. Came back to the car to a calm, sleepy dog who had enjoyed her trip.

"9th an 14th april ferry crossing "

I had a very pleasant crossing and was early at both port terminals. They put us on the early crossings both times which was fantastic. I would say the whole crossing could not be any better with exception of the food prices. There were no chips for the burger/chips/drink meal deal £8.50, so just asked for a burger for the kids which was also £8:50 no drop in price. The burger had been in the heater god knows how long and had dried out absolutly the worst burger ive had in a long time. I bought 4 at that price and fully reccomend not buying this overpriced dried out cardboard. What a wast of £30 for 4 burgers. Im fuming.

The ferry over had loads of students drunk out of there minds, lying all over the furniture, being sick all over the cabin. I’m all for people having a good time, but most of these people should have been refused alcohol. Other than that it was fine The return ferry was absolutely filthy dirty, the lobby areas stank of urine which put us off eating any food. I’ve travelled with other ferry companies before to Calais and Dunkirk, unfortunately this experience was the worst.

"Return home"

Booked to return to UK after one month in Spain. We drove to Calais through France. Our intention was to arrive at Calais and book onto a ferry when we got there. After stopping overnight we decided to book a crossing as we had made good time. On checking prices online we found the ideal crossing at a time that suited us great at a price of £55. We decided to book but after filling in passenger details we were DISGUSTED to say the least that P&O had increased the price to £100. Not having much choice we reluctantly booked the crossing. The crossing itself was great, the channel like a mill pond and the ferry clean and tidy.

Travelled on the Friday night service from Plymouth to Roscoff. Arrived at the port after work on the Friday. Check-in was simple and there was not much of a wait. The ferry was very clean and had plenty of amenities for our trip. We booked a cabin for two people and it was comfortable and quiet. The bar had a good option of drinks and the breakfast restaurant was exactly what we needed just before our arrival in Roscoff. On arrival, we departed from the ship nice and quickly. The staff at both ports and on the ship made sure everything ran smoothly and quickly. Little expensive, but exactly what we needed.

"Really disappointed"

Arrived at Dover early morning after long drive to ferry and were really looking forward to starting our holiday by having a nice quality breakfast in the brasserie. To our extreme surprise and the surprise of many other passengers, we found that it was closed. Cannot understand the reasoning behind the P & O decision as many passengers were looking forward to the morning breakfast on board. Instead we had to use the normal cafeteria which was not as good especially as by the time we had questioned up, paid and got our drinks, the food was no longer hot! Very very disappointed and if P & O continue with their policy of closing the brasserie, then we may end up using the channel tunnel in the future. Other than the Brassier aspect the rest of the journey was fine.

"Shambolic experience "

After a long drive from Brussels to Calais we arrived at 7pm to be told that a ferry had crashed and there is a backlog from 12pm. We were not pre warned via email or called so we just had to wait it out. We ended up sitting in our freezing car and were not communicated anything until gone 10pm which we were then booked onto the 11.35pm ferry. After parking the car and queuing on the tarmac we asked and were told we would not be leaving until 12.30am. We were not given any water or food for 5 hours and expected to sit in the freezing cold cars with zero explanation. A member of staff gave us a €7 voucher each for use on board. We finally boarded the ferry at 1am - 6 hours after arriving at Calais! We didn’t have phone charge to keep checking Twitter for 6 hours so we just had to sit there with no Information! We queued on board for 25 minutes to realise that the main meals are £9.50 and that the €7 Euro voucher would not even cover the meal! The boat had also run out of bottled water! A completely shambolic experience and we would not recommend to our friends or consider travelling again with P&O.

"Some Things To Know"

You need to be at the ferry a full hour before departure time in order to clear customs. If you travel in the afternoon (I think around 5 or 6 pm) everything will be closed except for the bar. The estimates for travel time that they provide on the site are definitely underestimated - plan an easy 2 hours from port to port, plus another half hour for the bus rides to and from the ferry. The cafeteria food isn't very good. The windows to see the cliffs of Dover, one of the main selling points for tourists, were very dirty and spoil the view. Ultimately, it didn't feel like a positive experience for tourists on foot. It gets you there, I guess.

Haveing taken other methods toncross the channel for the last 20years I was really surprised that the ferries hadn’t changed or moved forward with the times. The food was expensive but the Ferry got me from A to B and 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!

However in the restaurant within the price of curry menu we wondered why an alternative option was given to us, as the restaurant appeared to have ran out of side orders; onion Bharji and Somosas.

Very good service. Staff at check in very polite, and we were early for our sailing and were allowed to go on the earlier boat at no extra cost which I think is a good will jesture and I would certainly travel with them again. I have often arrived early for a crossing and it is rediculas that when I was early at a previous crossing in Calais P & O wanted me to pay £60 again to go on an earlier boat even though the boat was not full, this will antagonise people. IT is good to have a good relationship with companies especially as we travel often.

Very smooth loading and unloading of the Ferry at both Dover and Calais. The ship was clean, it was easy to navigate on board and staff helpful where approached. Going out we used the cafeteria for lunch, we were disappointed by the selection of light snacks and sandwiches. However on our return we used the Bistro restaurant and this was great table service with a good selection of food and drink. A really pleasant experience and the waiting staff were extremely helpful.

"Channel crossing 19:55 4th September 2017 "

Unfortunately for this trip the ship was in a very poor state, toilets were dirty and smelling badly, seating was stained and worn, carpets worn out. Staff tried hard but this ship would benefit from a re-fit similar to the ex Sea France/DFDS ship we travelled out on. The experience reflects badly on P&O when there are better quality and cheaper channel crossings.

"Disappointing Crossing"

I travel regularly between the UK and the Continent. This was the first time for a while that I used P&O Ferries, mainly because of the convenient sailing time. Sadly, I was very disappointed. The boat left late and arrived almost one hour behind schedule, The reason given was that an emergency exercise was held. This was not convincing at a busy time of the year. On board, there were long queues at the café bar and the selection of bakery was rudimentary. I will return to using the rival company, if at all possible.

Both crossings were swift and smooth. The general facilities were good and clean and the shop I thought was well stocked. Also, the staff were very helpful in giving information, when asked. However, there were two things that could have been better. On the 8 pm boat from Calais, there were no newspapers to buy and on the return Dover / Calais route the 1 pm boat was nearly an hour late in starting, that together with the hour loss crossing the Channel made for a long drive in the dark!

"the usual fare"

Out trip was as expected, which is not a criticism at all. It was a reasonably price fare and the trip was fine, tho slightly delayed on the return, but as we were not rushing that was not an issue for us. I think all of these ships could do with an update / refurb, but as you're only on it for 90mins it's ok. Food and drink prices are a bit steep, but again it's the same whichever service you use. Would always choose the ferry over the Tunnel, it's much better to have the space with kids. There was a nice little play area for kids to make things, play or watch a film and the staff there were really good, which is why I have given staff an extra star.

"Late etc"

We had booked our return from holiday (Calais to Dover) at 20.00 on 31st August, expecting dinner in the Brasserie (which on previous occasions was excellent). There were interminable delays getting through passport controls and, in particular getting into lines for the ferry. Although this is not the fault of P&O, such organisation could massively be improved by getting cars into P&O and DFDS lines before the passport controls and not after as is the case today. The problem was that cars etc exiting the controls had to cross over each other thus causing an immense traffic jam. My main complaint, however, was the fact that the ferry was 50 minutes late and the Brasserie was closed, no reason given and no information whatsoever.

"Bullying"

On my way there I prepared well in advanced and made sure I had everything I needed well in advanced and reached the ferry port well in advanced and did not face any problems nor hold-ups and was put on the first ferry out. However the return trip was sadly nowhere as smooth not one of the ferries was running on time with cars swapping from docking point to docking point by instruction of the staff which obviously led to confusion but that was OK as it was the busiest day of the year I understand. What I do not understand is although I had got to the ferry port at 9:30am, I was told that the only way I could get on before my 4pm docking time was for me to pay £60 pounds which is half of my entire ferry ticket to begin with which is the first time I heard of anything so preposterous. I had just driven over night; a total of 13 hours and 900 miles from the south of France and sitting for a total of 6.5 hours just seemed more than rude especially on a day that you know you are going to be extremely busy as which met my predictions as at 1pm when I did finally talk to the agent a 3rd and final time, she understood my situation otherwise I would have fell asleep and missed my ferry at the port. I think organization should be seriously considered at Calais as to allow for both punctual ship leaving as well as customer satisfaction in the long run because this last bit of the holiday stained my image of P&O and ill personally be sticking to Brittany for my following trips.

"Just awful"

The punctuality of the service is the only redeeming aspect of our P&O trips. Most notably, the cleanliness of the canteen area was shocking - filthy floors, dirty cutlery, filthy and smelly trays. The supervisor in the catering area was being rude to her staff in front of customers, and even referred to a Polish member of staff as 'Pole'. The food is overpriced. I scolded my hand in the toilets on the way home and nobody was available for first aid (I had to run my hand under a cold tap for 20 minutes).

"Disappointed!"

My journey from Calais to Dover was pretty awful. The ferry was late, overcrowded, dirty, tired and dated decor, and generally a badly maintained ferry. Piles of glasses and cups left on the floor at the top of stairs as you head towards the outside deck. Once there it was full of people smoking despite no smoking signs. We had no proper view out on deck with the area being very small and enclosed with nasty, dirty Perspex panels. No longer can you walk along the outside of the ferry. We're all herded like cattle into a tiny space full of fag smoke. Disgusting. It was also full of undesirables looking very suspect and as though they'd stepped straight out of a Charles Dickens novel. When we were instructed to return to our vehicles to prepare for disembarkation we had to sit for ages in a stuffy, car fume filled car deck with many lorries and coaches engines running and slowly gassing us all. Not sure why it took so long to open the doors to let us all out but it was clearly upsetting people. Overall a ghastly experience that I will have nightmares about for a while.

Sailing out to France on the Pride of Burgundy was a really good experience and the weather excellent. Club Service was an added factor that was worth the money. Return journey to the UK given that the Spirit of Britain was late departure from Calais meant we were allocated to this crossing as we had arrived early for ours, so for us was a bonus. Again Club Service was excellent especially the breakfast, great value. Crossing in excellent conditions. I would always allow plenty of time to entering the docks, though the indicated hour before departure time was enough to gain access, and board the ferry.

"Good crossing and enjoyed the trip"

Our only problem was that as we had booked through an agent and not direct through P & O Ferries we had to pay £60 to take an earlier ferry. If we had booked direct through P & O Ferries it would have only cost us £20 to take an earlier Ferry. We think we should have been notified of this when we booked and we would have arrived for the ferry time that we had booked on. As we had traveled down from Chester and knowing the congestion of traffic on the motorways going down we gave ourselves plenty of time. Knowing we had a long journey ahead of us to Spain we could not wait for the time of our ferry so had no option but to pay the £60 excess charge. As we our in our 70's and pensioners we found this a heavy price to pay. We have used this crossing before and been very satisfied.

"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.

A lousy and tiring journey started with a 20 minute wait in a queue for a coffee. Then we were subjected to screaming and shouting from unsupervised children in the play area - which is open plan for maximum disruption to the rest of the passengers in the lounge/restaurant area. Our eight year old and his ten year old sister went to spend the last of their euros in the slot machine arcade and came back to say they had put their coins into the change machine where they were ripped off. One euro = 52 pence! How does this business model work? Are you so marginal that you have to go in for usuary? NEVER AGAIN!!! I bet I don't get a response either.

We very much enjoyed taking our 1975 VW Camper van named "Kermit" to France with P&O. Both journeys were fast and comfortable. But we had no idea that the queue for the return leg was going to be so long..... if you are travelling back to the UK, bear in mind that 10x as many people seem to want to come to the UK as leave it! You need to turn up at least an hour before departure to have a chance of getting on your appointed return ferry!

"Good from Calais. Very poor from Dover"

Everything at Calais was great. Friendly staff, quick and slick check-in. The embarkation and disembarkation was very quick and smooth. Leaving Dover was the opposite. We are early because we had heard that there were queue at ports due to new checks imposed by the EU. However there were no queues. The young lady politely offered us 2 earlier ferries for an extra fee or we could go on the ferry before our booked one for free. We happily went off and returned as instructed only to find out that she had not booked us to go on an earlier ferry, but the one we had first booked. If only she had been honest in the first place we would not have been so disappointed

"Holiday to Normandy"

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.

"Dismal boating experience"

From the long delays, poor communication and sloppy cleanliness I can not in good faith recommend p&o. The food is a sight worse than DFDS food halls, the tea more overpriced and the crew worse at their jobs. When I boarded I sat down at the bow, before being asked to move as the area wasn't clean yet. Why this wasn't achieved in an earlier hour delay beggars belief. The only reason to travel with P&O is because DFDS is booked solid, as it is no secret that P&O trails in all aspects.

"Really enjoyable experience crossing. "

We had a lovely experience crossing. We'll definitely do again. The ship was lovely, clean and tidy. Tip: park and head upstairs as quickly as possible! You get the best seats that way of the views of the sea. Plenty of seats available otherwise. On the way back we were late and missed our ferry! Luckily, without any discussion, we were told we could get on the next one an hour later. Phew! Thank you!

"We are currently busy please hold ..."

The crossing and Ship were fine , sadly communication with Direct Ferries was terrible, as a disabled traveler with a sensory aid dog I was let down at every level when trying to rebook a crossing , even trying to find out what I was entitled to was impossible and I had to rely on speaking directly to P&O ferries doubling my cost of the crossing , I would like to complain directly to IN Direct Ferries but the reply over a 3 day period was ... we value your customer but we are currently busy and will answer your call shortly..... I feel totally discriminated against due to fact I have a dog which is needed as my aid ... Not sure if this will get any attention but let's see ....

"Dreadful."

On one of the busiest days of the year , P&O had one ship out of action. The queues extended all around the town of Dover but we got through the dock gates in time to check in. Our ship eventually sailed 4 hours late. We were given a voucher to spend at the dock cafeteria but the queues were so long that I gave up after queueing for 20 minutes and still counting 60 in front of me. As a result , our plans for the day were ruined. I felt particularly sorry for the many families with young children in the queues.

Knowingly they have a delay with their service they never bothered to inform about such . I could use the time in much better time rather than just standing in a que for an hour longer than planned in a first place. Also after writing an email with complain they never responded . Even though it says they will respond within 48 hours .

"Extremely Unreliable Service"

I had really bad experience with booking with direct ferries booking I booked from Calais to Dover when I arrive on the port with my four young kids and partner P&O Ferries refused us boarding as the reference on Direct Ferries email was not in their system. I tried to contact direct ferries but they were off on weekend at that time. It was extremely disturbing situation for me. I had to buy expensive DFDS last minute ticket to get to my destination. Later I contacted direct ferries help line first they refused to believe my story when I insisted they contacted P&O and I was told it was my fault as it was my I did not turned up to port. They asked me provide the DFSDS ticket. I told them I have got credit card payment receipt of ticket I bought but it was not acceptable for them. I told them I will check in my car if I find any ticket which I cant. So there is no help no money back and a horrible experience for memories at the end of my holiday. I warn everyone if they book through direct ferries please dont rely on their reference only and directly contact with ferry company for validity of the ticket else I manage to get a last minute expensive ticket you might not find last minute available seat if you are refused booking at your original booking

"Dover-Calais trip"

Thanks to the weather, this was a very good crossing! I'm ashamed to say I didn't know which boat it was except that it was a lady captain - we approved of this! For an early boat the continental breakfast was poor and the serving of the traditional breakfast a bit like waiting for school dinner - however we are what we are as a race (quick to stereotype all foreigners without realising what we are like ourselves.) We were very happy with everything else. No problems getting on or off and a very smooth crossing with good announcements and plenty of space. Left early and arrived early much appreciated as we had a very long drive. Coming back was a different matter - quite a few issues there.

"A good experience "

Our party travelled in two cars to Dover. We were held up by an accident on the motorway so missed our booked ferry. The staff at Direct Ferries could not have been more helpful. They got us all on the next ferry without fuss or any extra charge. The organisation of everything was impeccable and, even me as a very nervous sea going passenger, enjoyed the experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Direct Ferries...they certainly got our holiday off to a brilliant start. Thank you.

"Plain Sailing"

It had been 25 years since my last ferry crossing Dover/Calais, A trip I used to do on a regular basis and I was impressed with the ease of check in and loading compared to the old days. We arrived earlier than our sailing and were told we could go on an earlier boat, very customer friendly. Once on board we found the crew/staff helpful and welcoming. Sadly, the breakfast left a lot to be desired and by the end of the crossing the toilets were unusable ( I do not hold the staff responsible for other people's behaviour).

"Good staff, iffy ship"

Credit to the very friendly check-in staff both at Dover and Calais who got me on to an earlier ferry both ways after I arrived early. I appreciated that. The crossings were also extremely punctual. The vessels themselves were in need of a clean-up. The trouble is that certain people in grubby clothes and mucky boots think the seats are beds and sprawl, boots and all, across seats that others have to use after them. I was also attacked by fleas. I don't blame the staff, they do their best, but maybe the seats could be hosed down with disinfectant now and then. That aside, it was good value for money.

"Calais to Dover"

The ship rapidly filled with hundreds of unruly schoolchildren, who made an horrendous noise and mess. Nobody seemed to be in charge of them, and there seemed to be nowhere to get away from them. This made the trip a nightmare. There needs to be a mechanism for ensuring that children are kept under control. Then the other two foot passengers and I were left with no way to exit the ship. One of the other passengers eventually stopped what turned out to be the last crew member from leaving, and got him to find out how we could leave. When there are foot passengers, it would be good if someone knew about them, and could get them off the ship.

"Shabby Ferry"

Booked on early morning P&O ferry for 1st June but arrived in Calais the evening before. Decided to cross earlier than expected in view of dense sea fog on English Channel. Was charged an additional £60 for the privilege ….. in previous years that was always free. I once was a share holder of P&O and enjoyed Concessionary fares … until they eventually eroded away and became uncompetitive. Ferry was virtually empty of tourists and private cars; was mainly occupied by HGV and commercial vehicles. Decamped in main restaurant area which was virtually empty. Standard of cleanliness was poor ~ floor, tables and windows were sticky and grubby. Why does P&O charge for WiFi in this day I will never know? Was advertised as 'Free Wifi' on Calais quayside yet failed to connect. Noticed that that an onboard cash exchange machine was offering an exchange rate of 1Euro to 52 pence! Doesn't affect me as I'm a frequent traveller to Europe. That eye wateringly poor rate would fleece an unsuspecting party of school kids returning from the continent. Utterly outrageous!! Ferry was late departing but that was due to poor visibility in the Channel. Get your act together P&O!!

"Excellent service 10 stars "

Very good and very professional as always p&o i do like to use p&o service rather than other ferries companies because p&o is very friendly and always can take you earlier or if you are late few hours without any extra charges wich is very good I hope they will continue to keep it that way so they become the best ferry company thanks p&o for your great service and professionalism xxxxxxxxxxx

"ticket changes..."

I had booked return tickets and trraveling with mini bus and dog, £ 181 inc, I wanted to add 1 caravan outward only and was told extra £240, this was a few days before traveling, It would be cheeper to stay in hotels, a van should cost £75 ish... P&O said they only charged about £ 100 inc booking fee, but only if booked with them direct, they said I could turn up and pay at gate for caravan but might have to wait for next ferry if they was full, well did this and it cost less than £ 100, so this is a tip for anyone who needs to make ammendments, £240 was the cost of van & caravan if booked on the day, I had already paid for the van and pet, not being stung £240 for a hitched caravan

"Catering observation"

The staff were very friendly and helpful and everything was clean and well laid out but I was disappointed to not be able to buy a healthy salad. There were salads on display with just a few leaves, a bit of tomato and large chunks of cheese or ham.. not really a salad. It would be nice to see a box full of mixed leaves, baby tomatoes, baby corn, spring onion, chopped peppers, watercress, grated carrot, seeds... I could go on. There could be a dressing in a pot inside or just simply a good virgin olive oil?

Transporting a car from UK to Munich, large trailer and car with time estimate over 12 hours give little wiggle room but using the flex ticket was great. Managed to get on a ferry 2 hours ahead of schedule and saved that on the other side. Very slick teams at both ends, enjoyed a fried breakfast and fish and chips on the 2 trips, a set up for teh long drive. Thanks for making it no stress.

"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 :)

"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.

"Not a good mix"

An open play area for noisy and screaming children amongst passengers trying to get some rest and peace is not a good mix. There were quite a few other passengers who were clearly annoyed by this. Can I suggest that you have a separate area for families who are unable to control their children which is well away from those wishing to relax and unwind.

"To fortress England & return home!!!"

Good trip, caught an earlier crossing than we where booked on. Even though we had to open our car 3 times, once in to solders, not sure which nationality , then by French boarder control lastly by English boarder control. All very well but all in about 150 meters and in site of each other ???? More sensible boarder control on the return home. Again we where very early but just to late to catch an earlier crossing , but our crossing was on time. We think the return ship had just been refitted and it was very smart and not many people on. The crossing in both direction was very calm. Thank you

We recently travelled on the Dover/Calais route with P&O ferries and were very impressed with the facilities and services. On route out we had a meal in the al a carte restaurant which was really good and reasonably priced. The shop on board was well stocked with a huge range of perfumes & other gifts. Staff were very helpful and professional. The cars was loaded and unloaded promptly and there was virtually no waiting around. I usually travel on the new haven/dieppe route to reduce driving time but in future I would rather drive for longer and use P&O ferries on this route. Very impressed!

Although we were late getting away from Dover with a 20 minute delay due to bad weather and high winds the captain kept us informed and aware of why we were running late and expressed his apologies. We were also made aware that docking of other ferries also added to the delay. Allthough it was a bumpy ride it was still a enjoyable experience and we arrived in Calais at 12.30 local time after a 1 hour delay. All the crew were very helpfull and which made the journey a pleasent one, Having made this journey a number of times also using other ferry opperators I will always choose P & O ferries as my first option for crossing the channel.

"A Bike Friendly Service"

I regularly use the Service for getting across the channel with my motorbike. They are pretty well on time, all of the times I have used them. I prefer P@O because the tie down straps work and they include a wide piece of padding as part of the strap. Anything that protects the bike better is alright by me. On the negative side, they do need to spend some time in freeing up the tie down point rings which seem to be rusted in.

"Ferry OK but queueing horrendous"

The ferry itself was adequate, but there is no "enjoyable outside deck space" from which to enjoy fresh air and views without being adjacent to (and overwhelmed by) the smoker also using the one area of deck. Also when drinking our after-dinner coffee we were asked to leave the restaurant to 'make room' for other people coming to eat, and we ended up wandering around the ship carrying hot coffee, desperately looking for seats in a lounge but not finding any. Why is it that when they build these ferries they don't have enough seats in them - and why, when you have been conscientious enough to get to the Food Court early, do you get thrown out in favour of late-comers -especially upsetting when others where clearly using tables for their own food/games etc. whereas we HAD bought food from the food court. Furthermore the migrant issues on the motorway and the terrible (ridiculous, unjustifiable, unacceptable) queues for check-in would put us off taking this crossing in future. We have been crossing Dover-Calais for 39 years but this was our worst ever expereince

A great service. They allowed us to travel early as we allowed extra time to get there. Busy early morning crossing on the way back due to all the security, but personally I would rather that than them being lax

"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.

"Satisfactory trip"

We enjoyed our trip to France on Spirit of France. As it was an early morning voyage at 4:20am, it was frustrating to hear loud pop music coming from the bar by the outdoor deck while we and other passengers were trying to rest. Staff should have the confidence and training to operate with discretion and prevent such disturbances in the future.

"Trip Saturday 27th August 2016"

The actual crossing was pleasant and uneventful. However, I have issues with the booking process. The on-line booking service registered almost full booking. In order to obtain a reasonable price I opted for the 0850 crossing with a line closure time of 0730. The blurb indicated that I had to be at the Ferry no later than 90 minutes prior to line closure (0730). I was surprised to find that many vehicles arrived much later and were allowed on the boat. Had I known this I could have left home later. I found the blurb to be misleading. As it was I had to leave at 0400 to meet your time criteria. In addition the boat was nowhere near fully booked. Why did the on-line booking service claim full booking for the day in question?

"P&O High standards"

We travelled on the Spirit of Britain and the Pride of Canterbury around the weekend of the 9th/10th July, out of core holiday season but both crossings were very busy. Both were punctual and effortless, the staff as always cheerful and accommodating. Food quality is the best we have experienced between all operators and is a key reason for us always selecting P&O, making the most of this 90 minute break in driving. General facilities on board are always good with coffee and snacks available from a number of locations and a useful shopping area with motoring essentials for all those bits you forgot to buy previously. No shortage of seats but I usually keep on the move to benefit from the exercise break. Downside as always is the wait to get through security and check-in, usually after hours in the car when you just want to get out and stretch your legs! Dover 15 minutes for a morning ferry, Calais 30 minutes for an evening one, and this is out of season.

"Cheap 'n Cheerfull but suprisingly good breakfast"

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 !!

"Usual first rate service from P&O"

The ferries on both the outward and return were both of P&O's usual high standards. They were clean, the staff were friendly, the service was good and both vessels were on time. In fact, on the return crossing from Calais having experienced long delays in the past at passport control we arrived early and to our surprise there were no queues and we were through and at check-in in a matter of minutes. The very pleasant young lady checked us onto an earlier ferry at no extra charge in spite of having a nonamendable ticket. I would use P&O every time (where possible) over DFDS as their ferries are of a much better standard. A word of caution that is nothing to do with P&O. On our arrival at Dover French passport control have tightened up their checks and as a consequence we were waiting well over an hour to get through and nearly missed our sailing!

"Free meal"

A famous English politician once said "there's no such thing as a free meal". He had obviously never travelled with P&O. My daughter and I waited patiently for the queue to hot food to disappear before going along to choose ours. Plenty of choice left in spite of the boat being full, friendly staff too. We were ushered through to our seats without paying! Great experience!

"Journey Dover-Calais"

Brilliant service, particularly impressive was being put onto the next ferry when, on both occasions we arrived at unscheduled times, once because of a four and a half hour traffic delay. Only one mistake: on entering Dover we were not put into the right check in queue (for P & O Ferries) and had to check in by special arrangement at the office (saving another 1/2 hour queue). They were very helpful in an extremely stressful situation.

"Good Crossing"

We had a wonderful crossing as the ship was quite empty. We were to get the 1.30pm crossing but as we were early, got to Calais at 11.00am, we were offered the 11.30 crossing at an extra cost of £20 which we took. I feel that this extra charge should have been waved, especially as the ship was virtually empty. We also have left an empty space on the 1.30pm crossing!

The ship is all important. I was on the Spirit of Canterbury, where service was great, the ship was clean, quiet and smooth. My previous voyage was not so pleasant, in an older vessel. This is a much more enjoyable experience than the tunnel as you are not confined to your car for the transit. I have always rated P&O as the premium carrier, SNCF and the Belgian line were disgusting. Keep it up, P&O

We have been in London several times, always by plane, but now we have a cat that travel with us abroad without problems by car or by plane. Unfortunatly Great Britain doesn't accept animals arriving from abroad by plane. The only way to bring the cat with us was crossing English Channel, so we decided to travel by car from Venice. It was a wonderful experience because it is an excited experience to see the White Cliff from the sea. Very kind the staff of ferry and very accomodating. We had booked ferry at 14.00, but we arrived 40 minutes later, No problem, we could take another ferry at 16.00. When we came back we arrived at Dover 1 hour before, and we could take a ferry before.

However I was concerned having, what I thought booked on P& O for my return journey I was told I was booked on a Danish boat. I realise that this could have been my mistake in not reading the papers sent to me by P&O as I thought that I had booked with P&O as they sent me the email with the schedule.

"A good journey on a ferry"

We arrived in Calais earlier than planned and we managed to change ferries and leave 2 hours earlier than originally booked. Changing went smoothly, its cost was reasonable. We had a dog and, unfortunately, she had to be left alone in the car during the journey. The cruising was smooth, the ferry was crowded. The ferry is well equipped with a duty free shop and cafés, restaurants, but it takes a while until you can buy anything because of long lines of people waiting to be served. The passangers were (are always?) crazy. When they were asked not to queue up at the stairs long (20-30 minutes) before disembarkation, they immediately started to form a line in front of the stairs blocking any access to the pathways. Mad! Other than that everything was fine.

On advice of P&O I did not travel on the day of my reservation due to the blockage at Calais port. The next day before driving to Calais I wanted to check if I could get on a ferry with my ticket. I first rung direct ferries. After being kept on hold for 20 minutes the telephone connection was cut off without any personal contact. This happened twice and cost me 12 euros on telephone charges. P&O answered the telephone within 10 minutes and were really helpful. Next time I will book directly with P&O.

"Rental cars"

The whole direct ferries process is excellent. The only shortcomng, expressed in earlier reviews, is that for those using hire cars it is not pissble to provide the make and plate number as requested in the booking system. No doubt this could be dealt with.

"Crossing fine but allow more time for passport control"

As I travel with P & O every month, I am accustomed to the loading and unloading drill as well as all the services offered by P & O. Everything is usually without incident. Through no fault of P & 0 however, it has become more and more frustrating to arrive at Calais and find an unacceptable queue of cars waiting to go through passport control. I have missed one crossing and only just made the last two due to a 45 minute queue - nothing to do with P & O but just a warning to all who get to Calais thinking that 30 minutes before the crossing will be enough.

"I will always use this company again."

Overall the experience was good. You can smoke on the deck, there are plenty of drinking and dining areas and duty free shops for those who are interested. Personally, I was only interested in the cheapest possible return ticket for a car and three people and directferries were far cheaper than booking directly with P&O. In the duty free shops there weren't very many good deals, however I did find some decent wine, 6 bottles for £18 and my other half bought some make up, apart from that, the rest of the products were most expensive than most airport duty free shops. I wasn't interested in eating on the ship as there are far better places to eat on shore. My bother did have a roast dinner though, it was a bit worse than school dinners so I wouldn't recommend. The drinks at the bar are about the same as London pubs, about £4 for a bottle of berry cider, this I didn't mind. The main negative point were the toilets, they were pretty dirty, I'd avoid them if possible.

"Superb"

Our trip was great. Easy ride, clean toilets, nice climate and very friendly staff. Upon our return we missed our 19.05 ferry due to slow traffic in and around london. We all thought we'd had to buy a new ticket for the next ferry. But when we arrived they just put us on the next one for free. Thank you again!

"Dover Calais "

Ferry delayed by 30 mins but was informed of this by direct Ferries well in advance. Spirit of Britain and Spirit of France are new and large ferries and very good. With a large "duty free" shop and restaurant it has all you need. If you have a choice these ferries are the ones to chose for your crossing.

"Highly recommended"

We really enjoyed this crossing. The ship was clean. The decor was good. Staff were helpful.. The shop had an excellent variety of things. The self service restaurant was surprisingly good though we would have preferred the waiter service restaurant. Unfortunately this didn't open until the evening (our crossing was 3.45, arriving 9.30) and we wanted a meal before 7.30. We would normally take the short crossing from Dover but were near Portsmouth visiting friends. We found this Brittany Ferries ship far superior to a well known rival that sails out of Dover and would certainly take the crossing again.

Travelled out on Pride of Canterbury, this ship is showing signs of its age now, quite messy looking, but the staff were fantastic. Travelled back on Spirit of Britain, quite a different ball game. Very clean, well thought out. Great brasserie, good food cooked fresh at reasonable price. only one bug bear was the delay at Calais due to slow loaing apparently. Waiting in queue for over 45minutes with no communication as to why. Please next time keep passengers informed, it makes everyone hppier if they know what is happening.

"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.

Catering was fine but we had already eaten and the Duty free was not cheap enough to attract. Unloading was also punctual and fast and we had enjoyed the experience.

"Coming back home!"

We never book our return trip at the time we book the outbound because when we set off in our motorhome we have no idea when we'll be coming back home. So what I really need when sitting on a campsite in France with a laptop in front of me is a reliable way of finding the best available crossing with the minimum amount of administrative hassle............ and that has proved to be sorting it out with Direct Ferries. This usually means P&O who run ferries across the channel with the regularity of an inner city bus service!

In June my wife and I decided to visit Normandy and the area around Caen including Bayeux and Mont St Michele, etc. We had not used the Dover-Calais Ferry since 1996 and were very pleased with the service provided, from booking the tickets with Direct Ferries to the service received from P&O on both the outward and inward legs. We paid a little extra for Prioity loading and use of the Priority Lounge and found it a very relaxing way to travel. Indeed we are in the process of arranging a second trip in September and will be booking a P&O ferry through Direct Ferries.

If you're travelling by ferry to France for the first time be aware that there is often a longer queue (particularly at Calais) to get through customs than there is on the outward journey. We always allow an extra half hour for this to avoid the last minute panic. Please note this isn't just Direct Ferries, it's all ferry services.

"Excellent Service "

Whilst abroad my wife injured her leg and was unable to walk and therefore we had to cut our holiday short. We arrived in Calais and booked a return ferry at the P&O Check-In Desk. I explained my wife's injury and the desk arranged for a wheelchair to be made available on-board. When we parked our vehicle on-board a member of the ships crew was waiting for us with a wheelchair and escorted us to the lifts. The service we received was excellent and I would have no problems recommending P&O to other users.

"catering "

After boarding the Pride of Canterbury on the 9th of June, we went to the restaurant and found out that there were no sandwiches available. The staff told us that the passengers from Dover to Calais bought all the sandwiches and that there were no restocking in Calais. We've been taking P&O ferries at least twice a year for 25 years and it's the first time we saw this.

"Dover to Calais return"

Check-in was very quick and efficient. Food was OK, but pricey. DirectFerries could make it clearer to customers how it actually works re tickets / check-in, as we were looking for somewhere to collect tickets on arrival in Dover. Was NOT impressed that passengers can no longer go out on the front of the ferry, as it has always been the best place for seasickness (fresh air and able to see ahead). Going out the back directly over the engines and unable to see ahead makes an unhappy situation much worse.

"Excellent Service"

Both ships are modern and comfortable, as you would expect... the sea was calm both ways so the crossing was pleasant: if it gets a bit rough, I guess it all depends on how good a sailor you are but I'm sure the ships and crew would make the best of it. I arrived over 2 hours too early for my crossing to France and was offered the sailing 1 hour before my booking, at no extra charge. I had to return from France 20 hours before my booking (don't ask!) and was charged some £27 to take the next available crossing which I thought was very reasonable. Booking and Check-in staff at both terminals were very helpful and friendly. I didn't eat on board on the outward sailing but did have fish and chips when returning. I thought it rather expensive, but it was freshly cooked and I enjoyed it.

"Ferry crossing from Dover"

Everything went smoothly,the only reasons I would not use this service again is for 2 reasons; We paid extra to take our dog with us,but thought it was very distressing for him, secondly, I think you have to steward people blocking all the exits before the ship berths,if there was a problem at this point I think Health and Safety rules would be breached. I am afraid it is back to the tunnel for our regular trips to France.

"Easy Journey"

We bought our tickets online in Australia. Once at the ferry terminal (which was so easy to find) we validated them at the ticket office and were taken out to the boat, via passport control and customs by a courtesy bus. We boarded the ferry as foot passengers. Very easy, as there are lifts on-board to help with getting our luggage up to the top deck. The canteen looked OK. We didn't eat from it though. It was a busy trip mostly due to it being a few days before the D-Day Remembrance Service, so there were lots of travellers. But it seriously was easy. The staff were polite and helpful. The boat was clean. We would most definitely travel this way again should we be in Dover and want to go to France.

"Ferry crossings are part of the journey"

I decided to go by ferry rather than use the tunnel because I was not ina rush and it was half the price. In the even the whole trip worked like clockwork and I spent the journey sunning myself on the afterdeck! And, on my return, I had the satisfaction of hearing that a train had broken down in one of the tunnels and so all the trains were running late and were delayed, as they tried to figure out how to get the train out. So, my return journey was quicker than by tunnel! The boat had everything one could want and provided a very relaxing ambience.

"My return voyage from Dover-Calais 27-04-14 at about 18.30"

Normally I am positive about my voyages with the P&O vessels, and have not really any problems and am happy with the Service. But recently I arrived well in time and was instructed to go to the designated Lane. We were in the first lane to be filled. Once there the other lanes next to me started filling up. But to my surprise they started to embark the other Lanes first, which made our Lane the last one to be loaded, and surprisingly we were also the last to disembark. Really what is the point of coming earlier if the others vehicles come at last moment and go on first.It is irritating for the people who arrive on time and are waiting much longer than others who have just arrived. This is the first time I really have any negative remarks about my experience with the services of P&O Ferries, and hopefully the last time I have to write something negative, Yours sincerely Robert McCarthy

"Club Class good value"

I travelled as a foot passenger from Calais to Dover on Spirit of France. It's an easy (though not pretty) walk from the town to the ferry terminal. Check in, luggage scan, and passport inspection were easy and friendly - far preferable to the crowds at Gare du Nord for Eurostar boarding. Short and efficient bus transfer to the ship. Then up lots of ramps. A fight through the crowds round the "duty free" shop to get to the Club Lounge. Calm crossing and lovely calm atmosphere in the Lounge. The white cliffs came almost too soon. Long walk off ship to bus, and dispiriting long bus ride to the terminal, which is currently a confusing building site. Dover to Charing Cross by classic train is a delightfully scenic ride.

"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.

"Smoothly and easily "

Outward:. Too early on check-No problem, there's still room No waiting time.. Return: time at check-in. No problem. Everything runs smoothly and quickly. On board it is indeed too lively. But there is enough room for everyone to relax the 1.5 hours during the crossing. Eat, drink, shop, play at any time. The cars are well off and secure. Only the exchange rate for the change of bar seemed a bit high (But one can also make provisions before departure or withdraw money at a pinch at the destination. Credit card, however, is more efficient). Each time we would so cross the channel.

"Channel Crossing"

The whole P&O experience was good however the uncontrollable, screaming children ruined the experience. For many travellers the hour on the vessel is a time to rest and relax as many would have had a long drive to get to their first port and many will have a drive ahead off them at their destination port. There should be an adults only section where such travellers could rest a bit like a quiet zone on a train. However, this "adult area" should not be in the deepest darkest depths of the ship where there is no day light and no views and travellers should not be asked to pay extra in order to have some quiet time. That said the screaming children were not enough for me to not use P&O again. Thank you for a swift and on time service.

But that's a very minor item, overall no complaints and very happy with both crossings.

Like clockwork and excellent service as usual. I would only suggest better value for money in the "Food Court". Also, the Pride of Burgundy doesn't have the "Brasserie" available for every crossing, obliging any hungry passenger to use the food court. Personally, I find the fish over battered and the chips below par - at double the price I would pay on land. The other choices are also overpriced, the cutlery not always clean.

"Great experience!"

Hi, On both ways we enjoyed a great trip with P&O Ferries. Admittedly, on the way out to Dover, we arrived at Calais at the exact time the ship was scheduled to depart, thus late for check-in. We were shifted to the next ship without any issues and extra charges. On our way back we received a warning email regarding industrial actions at the harbour. We therefore decided to arrive at Dover a few hours later. Again, despite we were late for the original departure time, P&O Ferries allocated us to the first ship available, again without any issues.

"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 took this ferry on the way to France and from France. The first trip was good, just got delayed because of fog. That is to be expected. The way back was great. 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. That made my day a whole lot better. Everything was clean and looked presentable. Also the ferry left on the time we were told, not 15 minutes later. So that was also good. If I ever take a ferry again, it would be P&O Ferries.

"Saved Money"

Direct Ferries was £42 cheaper than booking by P&O, even though everything was the same - same check in, same ferry, everything. Spirit of Britain (and Spirit of France) is P&O's newest ship and it is clean and bright and was purpose built for this crossing. Staff are friendly and relaxed. Ferry crossings don't get better than this. Even the food is pretty good and at a fair price: about £8-£10 for main meals. I'm starting to sound like an advert now, so I'll leave it there.

We arrived at Calais to go to Dover having not booked although we had checked on the internet when closing in on the port. We went into the P&O office and at the desk were quoted £140. We then came out and accessed Directferries via iPhone whilst sat in the car park. We booked exactly the same P&O ferry crossing as we had just checked on but for only £105. Less than an hour later we were on our way. Our recommendation based on this will be pretty obvious!

"Our stormiest passage!"

Bad weather had caused severe delays. We were already informed of this at the first passport control. We were also told that the return journey would also be likely to be delayed and we were given the option to keep our tickets or change the dates to a different moment in time. We decided to take our chances because we really had to be in London that day. The events turned out exactly how we were told. So P&O could not be blamed for anything. Although it would've been better if we could've read something about this on the website. This would've enabled us to make alternate arrangements before leaving home.

Unfortunately, the morning ferry started with about 30 minutes late. However, on board everything was fine and I could enjoy my breakfast. The evening ferry ride back to Calais launched over time. Sorry, no sandwiches were more available. Otherwise, this one was crossing in order. The ships made an overall good impression. I allow myself the recommendation, the table surfaces, particularly in the areas of the restaurant to pay a little more attention when cleaning. The loading staff knows his craft very well.

Although was then informed us during our vacation that was canceled our return ferry (so one should remain email technically feasible :)) but it has been reclassified according to our wishes on the same day and even then we got a ferry there before we got there again very timely . very satisfied and for which no expect 5 * ship on the whole, but just a car ferry, it is a cheaper way to beautiful England, at least if one is not afraid of the long travel time. 15 hours to and departure is not just any his thing :))

"smooth processing "

Very efficient and organized. In contrast to the port of Calais, where the-handling staff were already known about a camera and the car license plate all the data / name, we had to state our booking number in Dover. The Direct Ferries booking number, which I had written to me, was not enough, I had to go into my emails and pick the P & O booking number. Then it went just as smoothly continue as in Calais. Since we still had to wait about 45 minutes in our tracks, we passed the time in the "Terminal". In Calais was for a limited time (I think 20 minutes) WiFi provided free of charge, in Dover, unfortunately not. Too bad, because that is nowadays helpful. Nevertheless, in comparison to the train considerably cheaper if you can afford time. Although the outward journey (ie Calais-Dover) we were also still a voucher, which we redeemed later on the ferry in Dover not (I 5 pounds / person think).

Everything very efficient, particularly as the outward journey was incredibly busy. Offered earlier crossing on return, which was welcome. Only complaint would be the confusion around going back to our cars in Calais and Dover. The central area of the boat was so busy that no-one could find space to read the signs and most people didn't seem to know where they were going. Couldn't find anyone to ask. Otherwise, all good and exceptionally good value for money.

Not a single problem on board and staff very friendly. We'll go with you again if we are to cross again. Just one question: taking a sailing one hour earlier was no problem, but we were two hours early on the way back and had to pay an additional £17. We thought is a bit strange. We do our best to be on time and then end up paying extra or having to wait. But again, other than that everything was OK.

"always happy with P & O "

Both ships were clean and on time. The staff is knowledgeable, everything worked without a hitch. The quality of the food I can not judge, because we have only been drinking on board a coffee. In one way we were able to take on the booking easily and at no extra charge an earlier ferry. On the way back we wanted to go (due to bad weather) 6 days earlier than booked: for a small fee (£ 36 for 4 people with a car), it was possible to rebook on the next ferry. Simply a first-class service!

"Trip to England "

In September we did the crossing of the Mancha Canal with P&O Ferries from Calais to Dover and viceversa. All I can say is that the company and the service was very positive. They answered all our reservation doubts via email and when we lost our ship they put us in the next one for just a small charge. Punctuality and services were exquisite. I recommend this company to those wanting to go to England by car for a competitive price.

After England with the Pride of Canterbury, back to the continent, the Spirit of Britain. The tickets for the passenger car with three people had been previously booked very unproblematic online, according to fast was the clearance in Calais. Both crossings were right on time and without problems. Both ships are almost identical for these short crossing functional and well equipped and were in a very neat condition. Nothing can be said about the quality of the food, because it has not taken advantage of. The service of shipping company P & O Ferries needs to be highlighted. We had missed the booked ferry for the return trip and were allowed at no additional cost to use the next ferry.

"P&O return crossing Dover/calais"

As part of our annual motorhome holiday abroad we decided to use P&O ferries to transport us from Dover to calais on the 17th of August, opting for the 0700hrs ferry after an overnight stop on Marine Parade Dover seafront. We were ushered onto the Pride of Kent and joined the very long Q for breakfast. Whilst very slowly shuffling along in the Q, it gave us time to observe the ship, which looked dirty. We opted for the ferry route this time, because for the past few years we have been using the much faster method of the Train and Tunnel, and thought why not give the ferry a go an see if it can be a better way to 'do' the channel. It could give us a break from driving, a chance to get a cooked meal without having to do the washing up afterwards, so everybody gets to stretch their legs, a bit of shopping therapy too. We do not smoke or drink enough to warrant us utilizing the ferries tax free facilities, so we window shop mostly. Our outward journey was very disappointing as far as the ferry bit, and we had committed to the return booking so our ferry back to Dover was a later ferry on the 31st August at about 1630hrs that afternoon, we had tried to get an earlier ferry but one was not available so we had an hour parked up in the docks before we would be called on board. We used this hour to prepare our French subway, delicious baguettes filled with french cheeses, meats and salad. Our ferry The Spirit of Britain was on time and looked very new and modern, our only problem this time was trying to find somewhere to sit down. We did not need food as we had eaten earlier, so jut need perhaps a coffee and a seat. We so wanted a window seat and eventually found one in the food court area and enjoyed the crossing from there. To sum up if we use a ferry again, as the Chunnel seems less hassle, I think we will try and eat before we board to avoid having to shuffle in a Q for 35mins.

"The best way to cross"

As a family we travelled via tunnel and the ferry and the ferry wins. The tunnel may be one hour faster, but it lacks all of the fun and views of the boat. If you must cross fast, pay double and take the train and sit in the dark. If you have an extra hour, take the boat. It was very nice on board.

"Pleasant, efficient, but lacks of character"

It's only a 1h30 journey! The boat is spacious, the staff is nice and welcoming. The price of food and drinks is reasonable for this type of trips! However, the lounges lack of character compared to other boats of the same company! The atmosphere is cold, there are no cosy area, it's a bit industrial. The flooring is unconfortable, the bars are big and there's no intimacy. Access to the deck is limited to people who have booked the lounge! It's a shame, because there are a lot of children aboard this crossing and the sea view is a huge motivation for them!

Apart from that everything was ok, commendable especially the free rebooking on an earlier ferry.

"rebooking possible but very expensive "

Overall, we are satisfied with the crossing. Vessels are indeed in any top condition, but is also dependent only ne ferry. The announcements are sometimes good and sometimes not at all to understand. On the way back we were unfortunately too early (we knew when booking not know when to get off). Since we were up some but then sooner turn, was the issue of transfer. Since we just wanted to home, we have decided to rebook us what actually the complete price for the crossing again was due. Car plus 4 people with just over 130 pounds. And that is IMHO a bit rough.

"Efficient"

On arrival at Dover, our passage through the various checks was efficient and effective. Loading onto the ferry was also efficient and the crossing to time. Disembarkation at Calais was also fast, although you had to keep your eye open for the various directions as you had to make decisions quickly. The same can be said for the return journey, although the port of Dover looked rather worn out and didn't give a good first impression of England. I know that they are currently updating and hope this improves matters. I have to say that the food in the canteen was just about acceptable but expensive for the standard. Although you don't need to eat on such a short crossing, this was a break in a long journey either side for us so we did have some lunch with some small children.

"P&O Ferry - 7.30am departure"

If you travel early in the morning and imagine a lovely start to your holiday by enjoying a relaxing breakfast then a ferry crossing is not for you! We spent the entire crossing queuing for breakfast. There has to be a quicker system. I'm sure someone at P&O can come up with something better. If anyone at P&O is interested, the queuing system could be improved as it's not clear the food stations all serve the same food so people were only waiting for the first one to become free. Have all the tills open as many people were rightly saying their breakfasts were going cold. During a busy time have a dedicated person looking after the tea and coffee machines so the cashiers don't have to do it. The tea and coffee machines would be better positioned away from the cashiers. There isn't enough room to queue or carry hot drinks when there are people coming past with trays - not very safe. Don't have tokens for coffee and put the tea bags next to the hot water. I wasn't given any tokens when I bought my tea and coffee - I'd queued up to get a coffee, realised when it was my turn that I hadn't been given a token, waited to ask the cashier for my tea and coffee tokens (was rightly told I only needed a token for the coffee), queued again at the coffee machine, on my turn put the token in only to find the machine needed emptying, waited again to tell a cashier, cashier emptied machine (but had queue of passengers waiting to pay for food), my turn at the coffee machine but of course I'd already used my token, went to same cashier where I was given a new token but joined the back of the queue again, finally got a coffee. Joined queue for tea but noticed other people had tea bags, asked a passenger where to get tea bags from and was told the cashier gives them to you when you buy a cup of tea arrghhh! By the time I got back to the table, my family had finished their breakfast, mine was cold and I didn't feel at all calm and relaxed. Not exactly what I was hoping for. Come on P&O, you can do better than that.

Great. Loaded straight away, presented vouchers during crossing, staff on board really helpful so no problems and started holiday journey on the other side ahead of schedule. Made all the difference when getting to first nights stop. Return journey apart from queue at passport checks in Calais went just as we'll And for once so the drive back from Dover to the north east! No problems!

"Theyre still not doing a Ryanair!!"

We'd booked on the 10.45 crossing, but turned up about 8.10. When we asked if we could get on to an earlier time they said it would be £20 for the 8.45 crossing but free if we wanted to switch to the 9.45. I didn't know they still did that! Only thing you have to watch out for is if you go to the swish restaurant. The menu has all sorts of goodies on it but if you turn up at 10.00 a.m. you can only get breakfast, which is very nice, but you don't find out until you've sat down and they've produced the orange juice that the food you really fancy isn't available.

"Breakfast ferry"

Our outward trip to France left Dover on time at 08.25am on a Tuesday morning in August. It was brim-full of other holidaymakers, mainly British, but some French returning from their vacation. Even though it was full, we still had seats and table to ourselves in the lounge area. The trip was punctual, the loading/unloading was efficient and the overall experience was good. Our journey home three weeks later was an evening sailing, which was unfortunately delayed by about 45 minutes. This however, was not the ship's fault as the pier was still occupied by the previous ferry when our one arrived at the port of Calais. Once underway, everything went as we would expect, and we experienced no further delay and enjoyed the view of the sunset from a lounge sofa situated at the sharp end. Having travelled to and from France for dozens of times over the last thirty years, I would certainly use the ferry again.

"A daytrip by boat"

Being a former RMT employee a ferry crossing is pure nostalgia. My 9yo grand son always wanted to go on a large ship (of the type cruise with swimming pool). So grandma and granddad took him and his mum on a ferry crossing. Especially the Spirit of Britain lived up to its expectations. We enjoyed the journey on the sun deck, the weather was gorgeous. The ships were tidy and the staff was friendly. On the way back we tucked into traditional British fish and chips wrapped in (fake) newspaper, like it should be. Altogether a great day.

"Ferry Calasi-Dovermit P and O properly and low "

We traveled with a camper in the summer holidays 2013 in July / August to England and have selected the ferry Calais-Dover and back. It has everything wonderfully and smoothly folded with P & O. We have early morning and late evening elected the times for round-trip to England. So you go much cheaper than during the day. We have a threesome just paid with motorhome approx 75 euros (there and back! These were booked online in advance from home). It is neatly trained on site. The staff is very nice. Only you must not enter too early again in the port-area in Dover, otherwise they send you back out of the premises. We have then eaten in Dover leisurely evening. In Dover is just at the harbor a lot of construction sites. Is really overall very recommendable.

"A little disappointing "

On both our crossings to and from calais this summer we were a little disappointed with the service. You would think that there would be adequate amounts of seating for all passengers but we found ourselves wandering around the ship for the entire crossing with a 1 year old and a 3 year old, looking for somewhere to sit. On our outward leg we took a breakfast time crossing, but were unable to get breakfast during the length of the crossing due to the queues at every cafe/restaurant/bar. The boats were both clean and tidy and the toilets especially so. The staff on the ships were friendly and helpful and I would use P and O again but perhaps when they address these overcrowding issues.

We were not exactly on time to check in and had almost 2 hours later than the scheduled departure wait. Chaotic loading and unloading of this and other ships in the P & O Pier suggest that the organization is in need of improvement, which we have previously experienced better at DFDS . aboard everything was OK, but the pitches are very close (in and out ...).

"Travelling for the disabled"

There is no doubt that this is a good ferry service; far removed from the days of old when it used to be dirty and uncomfortable. It is a perfectly acceptable option compared with Eurostar or flying now. The food is not bad, even though it will always have the mark of a service station. The portions are ridiculously generous, at breakfast anyway. While away I broke my ankle, which involved making special arrangements for the return journey. The car was parked fairly near to the lift (although families with dogs were able to park nearer if they arrived at the port first). The problem came on arriving at the top of the lift, where the requested wheelchair was not waiting and all I could see were lots of corridors with no chance of sitting down. I had to stumble into the Club Lounge, where I was treated very well. This does not alter the fact that more chairs need to be provided in all places round the boat for disabled people like myself. This aspect of the journey was agony.

"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!

Also able to get a pastry or similar from a bar server if we wanted after the cooked meal. It would help to cook the tomatoes too! Most we observed were left as being not cooked properly.

"Hassle free journey"

From Dover to Calais the journey was hassle free. Booked priority loading and club class lounge which I would definitely recommend, for both journeys. Spirit of Britain was outbound Ferry. Boarded quickly and straight up into lounge which was tastefully decorated, small and very comfortable. Separate access to outside of ferry which was lovely and private. Free drinks & newspapers - good selection, and you just helped yourself to as much of those as you wished. Staff lovely, explained how things worked and took food order at your seat quickly. Food selection not vast but very tasty and food arrived promptly. Lovely toilet facilities. Return journey on Pride of Britain, delayed by about 30 - 40 mins but once on board no issues really. Club lounge larger and very comfortable with attentive, polite staff and large viewing windows - no private external access. Drink orders taken at your seat this time - no facility to help yourself. Toilets not as clean and well equipped but nice shower room. Duty free much smaller and not as good a selection as outbound journey.

"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?

We've travelled Norfolk Line/DFDS in the past but the P&O ship was more spacious, better equipped, cleaner and quieter on this trip - possibly because P&O cost more in general. On this trip the sailing times suited us better and the price difference was only an extra £9, and we're very glad we went for it. With the family I would choose P&O again.

"Relaxing Channel Crossing."

Why do I prefer crossing the English Channel by ferry instead of the tunnel? Normally when going to and from the UK I have at least 2 hours drive on each side. The ferry gives me a nice break with a coffee and a leg stretch.

Well signposted in both directions Calais, and Dover. Spacious, yet no hectic driving on the ferry and trouble leaving by car (as were for the first time in England).

So well organized nice way to get to the island and significantly cheaper for booking in advance, as with the tunnel-train.

"good easy transport "

Check in, loading and crossing were great, but you should take into account certain travel times. Although the outward journey to Dover was a lot of space, so that we could take a ferry past and even enough space on the ship was (relaxed crossing), but sluggish traffic connections to the motorways in Dover. On the way back a week later in the UK, the holidays had started and the ship was of course fully booked, much unrest, long lines at the snack bar and not enough seats, but at 1.5 hours driving time not so tragic, for quick access to highways in Calais

"Dover Calais trip July 2013"

Great & easy trip both ways. We arrived at the suggested time for each trip & on the return leg we were put on an earlier crossing, which was nice. One comment might be that on the outward crossing, which was early morning, there were very long queues for the breakfast, so we waited for a while before eating. I suppose everybody was 'in the same boat' & had travelled for a while to get to the port & were ravenous! However, we only waited until we had left Dover & got under way before we tried again & the queue had gone down very quickly. The breakfast was good & the crossing went by in no time at all. Easy loading on & off and an all round good experience. Would definitely recommend & use again.

"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.

We have taken the Dover-Calais ferry crossing for many years. This year when travelling with P&O, we took up the option of the Club Lounge at a very small extra cost. It was a lovely experience - we were able to sit comfortably in a quiet peaceful setting, with a complimentary glass of champagne and coffees, with nibbles and biscuits. Unfortunately we had already eaten before boarding the ferry but next time we will treat ourselves to something to eat as well - it all looked very tempting! Everything on board was well organised, boarding and disembarking went smoothly with no hitches.

The whole experience has been very satisfying in that the booking was efficient and relatively easy. The loading and unloading of cars was efficient. The facilities on board were good even though the boat was fully loaded. The price was excellent. A very good start and finish to our holiday in France. My only criticism would be that it was difficult to book two cars onto the same boat when we were travelling as a group. One car ended up going on an earlier crossing on the return leg of the journey.

"Excellent comfortable Trip"

We wholeheartedly enjoyed our return ferry trip on the newest ferry, P&O's Pride of Britain. We arrived early and were immediately loaded on to an earlier ferry than the one that we had booked. A very courteous reception at the gate. Full marks to P&O for an excellent crossing both ways. The new ferry is excellent with abundant seating accommodation, shops and facilities to please everyone.

"A practical way of getting to the British Isles "

Both the reservation and staff in general were very efficient and recommendable. The only doubt I had was the departing and arrival times because it wasn't specified whether they were local. It was thanks to the fact that we arrived well in advance that we didn't miss it. The trip was nice and short. You can eat, buy... Basically a very recommendabe service.

"Anonymous means anonymous! What's up with the email address? "

Me and my fellow passengers liked the crossing very much. We had great weather, the ferry was very clean and the service friendly. Another plus was that we, because we had another arrival and had the safe side enough time for the journey (both in England and on the continent page), without us having asked for it, each could use an earlier ferry - at no extra charge . So we could celebrate the 8th birthday of my nephew in daylight. This made us very happy and there is not much at each ferry company!

"Tips if you are taking the train to Calais "

I travelled throughout Europe by car. I then left it in Lille and took the train to Calais. Watch out! Check out the train tickets because they sold me a ticket to Calais VILLE and I had to pay double the price. You have to arrive two hours in advance. Don't forget the passport and the tickets. They ask you if you want to keep the luggage with you or embark it. If you decide to embark it, they put it all stacked and piled in some small "cages". So, if you decide to embark yours, think twice about it. I kept mine with me. Once you arrive you just need to look for the train station. The train costs 22 pounds y lasts 2 hours to London Victoria. It takes that long because it makes a lot of stops.

"Excellent value, Excellent service"

I booked a crossing for my husband and myself in the car for a bargain £39.50.The ticket said that their could be no amendments, presumably because of the low price. A couple of days before our departure, I bought a new car and emailed to ask if I could change the car details. I received a prompt reply that it could be done and without charge, which delighted me. Coming back from France, we arrived at Calais early as the weather was so poor. We were allowed to travel back on an earlier ferry than the one we had booked, which was great.My only niggle was that I had to remind them 3 times to get the "GB" car sticker that had been offered at the time of booking and that my husband's cup of coffee on the ferry was undrinkable..Overall, excellent value for money and great service.

Gosh! I knew your service already by many crossings with the coach. Although I never knew the conditions of the booking. Have now booked even the standard ticket and was not surprised when I "too early" came to the port and was immediately taken. For now was my later booked space for someone else free. When I went back, but I have not done my booked ship and had been afraid of having to pay extra. But was taken without any problems on the next ship. That I call customer friendly!

"Calais-Dover-Calais June 2013 "

We booked P & O Dover-Calais Calais-Dunkerque-Dover DFDS rather than simply Because The P & O web site allowed us to include a domestic animal in the online booking. (The DFDS site obliges you to add the dog afterwards by telephone at a totally unrealistic additional cost). We had no quarrel with the P & O vessel or the service, but somehow we found it less welcoming, less comfortable than the crossings we made in recent years with DFDS. HOWEVER (DFDS please note) the hassle with changing the booking to Accommodate the animal will oblige us to stay with P & O in future even if it is not Necessarily our preferred carrier.

"Experience P&O"

We arrived in Calais early and were allowed to board an earlier sailing. The ship is not the newest, but considering the fare we thought it was tidy. The return journey is a different story. We had to return early due to circumstances. P&O wanted to charge an additional £128 for a night sailing and would not budge. In the end we went over to the other offices and were able to book a journey to Dunkirk for £70 with DFDS. And that on a far more luxurious ship. An additional charge is acceptable, but £128 is plain robbery. No refund. We will cut our losses and will never plan a booking again, let alone with P&O.

"Getting back from France to the UK"

Having spent a frustrating hour on line in a free Wi-Fi location, trying to book a single journey Calais/Dover with P&O. I landed by accident on the Direct Ferries website. What a pleasure just to be able to book the one way journey and the whole process was simple and straight forward. No problems when I arrived at Calais, not with my booking that is. A usual, the P&O ferry was late, three quarters of an hour, no explanation and full of coach loads of screaming teenagers. It was cold, dirty, noisy, uncomfortable about par I would say; still, the cheapest way to cross the channel you pay the money and get what you pay for.

We had both out and return trips on P&O newest ships. These are excellently equipped, good bars, good food and very efficient and friendly staff. With all amenities you could need on a cross channel journey. Upon return we were too late for our scheduled booking, absolutely no problem at the terminal check in where we were put on the next boat to leave. All handled with courteous efficiency. Only one hiccup which may be down to Dover Harbour Authority rather than P&O, delay outbound due to bad weather, not a problem, but nobody tells you how long the delay will be so do you leave the car, get a coffee, go to the loo etc, or sit in the car and hope for the best?

"Calais to Dover ferries with Directferries"

We used this company to book our crossing months before we travelled from NZ. We found them to be so helpful when my wife contacted them about certain concerns. Emails came back very prompt with the answers to our questions. Even on booking in from Calais the staff greeted you with a smile and were very, helpful from the moment we stepped on board we were greeted by friendly staff offering help if needed. We travelled club class this trip and were offered champagne on boarding. Meals were promptly served when you ordered them and were very nicely presented. The toilets were lovely and clean and the seating was comfortable. We could go out on the deck to take some photos without worrying about our luggage being left inside. The down side of the trip was at Dover and the long walk to the bus to take you to the terminal and another long walk to where the taxis were maybe better when they get their new terminal finished. The ferry was 25 mins late leaving Calais but we were offered drinks and we chattered away the time went quick before we got under way. None of this would stop us using the ferry again it was a very pleasant trip.

On the outward journey we arrived very late in Calais, but this was no problem at all, from the first control to the referring physicians on the ship were all very nice, even the staff in the Club Lounge. The Spirit of Britian's all we liked better from the ship fro, the ship is apparently not new. But again, very nice staff and everything was clean. What we did not like was that we'd like to have posted on the way back an earlier ferry, it would have been prohibitively expensive, so we have been waiting rather a long time.

I travelled as a priority passenger - costs more but worth it. Arrived late for the ferry but got put onto the next with no fuss. Club lounge staff were great and all in all a very good trip. So much nicer (and cheaper) than the Euro Tunnel experience which is noisy, claustrophobic and in no way relaxing. Sure it takes longer but what's all the rush about?

"Transfer extremely expensive, otherwise all good! "

Actually, everything was fine. If we hadn´t arrived so much earlier in Dover as originally planned. Then, when a ferry started to leave, we also wanted to take this one. The extra-charge of 58 pounds (the planned return journey costs 118 pounds) was much too high. Especially as the ferry was empty. So, use only the booked ferry, otherwise it is disgusting expensive.

We returned to England bringing our friends from Leipzig. It was their very first channel crossing. They were very pleased with everything about the trip.We were very surprised to find the food restaurant was empty when we got there shortly after boarding. Our friends loved the english breakfast, another "first" for them and they thought it was very good value for money. The only thing we personally found disappointing was that the food was not hot, couldn't understand this on being the first customers. Otherwise, enjoyed our trip.

It is some while since travelling with P&O and I had forgotten the standard in comparison to other ferry lines I had used over the past three years. When I had boarded the ferry what immediately stood out was the overall cleanliness of the ferry I was on. I found the staff helpful and the trip both going and returning had a much more cheering feeling about it. The harbour staff who checked my paperwork etc were polite and clearly helpful.So, a good cheerful trip on your ferries. Regards Michael Myers

"Pleasant journey - with dogs in the vehicle."

We made this magnificent crossing twice. But we question the fact that we have to pay significant amount extra for two small dogs which cause no issues to the ferry company! Understandably they weren't even allowed out of the vehicle, but the extra fee compared to what we payed for ourselves is a significant difference, whish is difficult to understand. Everything else (boat, staff, service etc.) was fine.

We had a good trip with P&O Ferries from Calais to Dover and back. The loading of the vehicles went smoothly, there was enough time to take out the necessary luggage for the boat from the car. The delay of around 15 minutes was OK, as we were not in a hurry. The only problem was, that the staff could not warm up the food for our baby, they told it was not allowed for them to warm it up in a microwave, so put the pot in a bowl of hot water, which was not really efficient. The food was left over cold.

"Not so good for photographers"

Check-in was efficient although 1 went in the wrong lane as I usually travel Dover-Dunkirk! Loading was efficient and quick and the facilities were good. However on deck, most of the space seemed to be out of bounds and I had to share what little space there was with the smokers. As my trip was to photograph ships in Antwerp, Rotterdam and Hamburg, I usually get quite a few of the Channel traffic. This was virtually impossible due to the screens and the out-of-bound deck in the foreground. The newer ship on the return was slightly better but the screens still got in the way. However it was too misty (Not the ships fault)I much prefer the DFDS ships and will not be travelling P&O again.

"A pleasant experience"

This was a very positive experience. I came from London and was uncertain about the traffic situation to Dover, so I booked 1205. When checking in at 1100 I was asked if I wanted to take an earlier departure, which suited med perfectly, and I could depart at 1105. Great! The ship was spacious and comfortable, I recommend this service and it will be my choice for any further trips.

It is always a pleasure to cross the Channel with P&O Ferries. Everything is well organised, runs very smoothly and I really appreciate the quality of the sofas and chairs in the bar area, at the front of the boat. I would like to know where they get them from. They all have different colours, shapes and they are all very comfortable as well as practical.

Overall the service I received from Direct Ferries and P&O was absolutely brilliant. On both the outward and return journeys we were put on an earlier ferry, which was a bonus. Firstly, we could start our drive to Paris a little bit earlier and secondly, on the return leg having driven 500 miles it was fabulous just to relax without waiting around for an hour at Calais. Staff very friendly and I would definitely use P&O again. Direct ferries was a simple but highly effective service.

"P&O Ferries experience"

I travelled to France and back from Dover recently, using P&O Ferries, with my wife and daughter. We use this route on a regular basis, and P&O have always been our preferred service, mainly because we have always been more than satisfied with the service provided. Prior booking has never been a problem, and access through the P&O terminals is smooth and effortless. The only disappointment on our last return journey was that the evening meal was barely warm. That aside, there were no other issues.

"Won't be using this crossing again"

In the past I had been fairly satisfied with the Dover-Calais ferry crossing, above all quite happy with their treatment of travelling pets. This time, too, we arrived an hour before departure but then ended up being almost the last car on to the boat. Previously we have been given priority boarding with travelling animals, which I assumed was included in the 30 pounds we paid for the dog. The boat itself was bedlam and I couldn't find the quiet lounge facilities that have been available in the past. We ordered a lamb curry, which was quite tasty, but contained only one very small piece of lamb! At disembarkation we were almost the last car off; in addition the ship was late arriving in Dover. I had changed back to P & O after trying DFDS, but shall not be using P & O again. At least DFDS offers a first class option which does give speedy embarkation and a nice quiet lounge serving reasonable food.

"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.

I haven't been on the ferry since they opened the tunnel and what a change. The check-in was smooth and easy, the staff were polite and friendly. We had breakfast in the Brasserie, which was a bright airy room and the staff were a joy. The pastries were rather soggy and unpleasant but there was a lot of toast orange juice and fresh fruit salad, which actually was fresh. One of us had the full English which was better than many I have seen. In reality I would still probably opt for the Tunnel as it is quicker but I would not dread the boat as much as I used to.(Nothing like a bit of competition to improve things ;) )

Very happy to travel with P&O and even better with Direct Ferries prices. Have booked again for two weeks time and will take another three trips this year with them.

"My P&O return journey"

We have never had a problem with P&O Ferries and in fact our journey from Calais to Dover on Monday 18th March was fine. However, for our return, we were initially booked on the 10:15am sailing on the 25th March. We were advised that this sailing had been cancelled and we were put on a later sailing at 11:10am. I can only surmise that there were insufficient passengers for the two sailings and therefore we were all transferred to the 11:10am. This was obvious from the number of passengers and lack of seating. In fact the crossing was absolutely disgraceful. The toilets were not all functioning. Due, I suspect, to the number of people using them. My husband and I were unable to find anywhere to sit and, at our age, this is unacceptable. Having docked and advised to return to our car, there were so many passengers crowding our staircase and lined back through the boat, that initially we thought they were queuing for our staircase, only to find that they were in fact foot passengers and there was nowhere else for them to queue. We had to find a member of the P&O staff to assist us to the top of the staircase as it was almost impossible to push our way through and, when we finally managed to get down the stairs, we found that our car was sitting alone. I should point out that we were not the only passengers affected in this way.

No problems with the crossing. We departed on time and arrived almost on time at Calais. The only negative aspect was the technical problem with the toilets. Staff on board were very helpful and friendly.

Can really recommend the Club Lounge, on the Spirit of Brtain at least - for a few pounds extra, travel in style and comfort.

"Trip to France March 2013"

Our trip to Eurodisney during weekend of 16th March was made very easy by a simple enough booking process, reasonably quick entry on to the ships and a decent quality sailing over to France. There was WiFi on board in designated areas and the service was fine. Only fly in the ointment was that the return ferry decided to sail 10 minutes early against schedule so that was a bit more of a rush job as we had some traffic delays on our return to Calais....I would have hated to have rushed all the way back to find the ship gone 10 mins early! Easy enough journey and no real problems..

"A pleasant trip, but..."

Arrived early and were asked if we wanted to catch the next ferry despite paying for the cheap ticket. A great start. But the ferry stank. Don't get me wrong apart from a medical emergency which required us to return to Calais once we had departed, the crossing was smooth despite a howling gale outside and the staff were helpful and the food ok. So if they got the ship cleaner I would have been very happy. I've traveled on Eurotunnel and I always prefer the ferry as you can have a break from the car and a walk around. Overall, I don't expect much really for such a cheap price so I feel I got what I paid for. But come on P&O employ a few more cleaners!

"Smooth passage"

Problems in France caused by heavy snow meant the company accepted our late arrival on our return to Calais. We boarded without difficulty on our booked ferry which had been delayed to accommodate travellers because of the weather troubles. This followed an easy departure from Dover a few days before. There were no problems on either trip across the Channel and as always the staff were efficient and polite.

"Nice and smooth"

Sunny weather, great service at the restaurant, the food was nice and it's much nicer to cross the channel with a glass of chardonnay while watching the seagulls than sitting in a cramped Eurostar. Only negative point: why can't we access the decks anymore, you know, stand outside, smell the sea-breeze ? The sad aft-deck (filled with smokers) is not a proper substitute. I hadn't crossed on ferry for over 30 years and enjoyed it very much !

"Top ship, fish and chips bit rubbish though!"

p&o got me on earlier crossings with ease, the trip was great the boat had all you needed on board, although i did not find a tv lounge this even if only cartoons would be great for kids. On way back i had fish and chips with mushy peas i did not mind paying more but the dish was crap i only managed half.

"Short-break weekend"

About Tuesday, we decided to take a short break to Luxembourg for the weekend. A quick check found that Directferries.co.uk found us the cheapest fare across the Channel. As usual, the P&O ferry was on time and we hit the road. After a great weekend, we got back to Calais a little early and we were allowed on an earlier boat - much better than the tunnel who just make you wait. Very pleased, would use again for sure.

"Dogs in crate"

I would love my dog to travel with me instead of going in a crate with the cars and trucks. I am certain that it causes a lot of stress to owners and dogs alike. The staff in the UK were very helpful but not in france where customer service is not part of their training. I would be happy to pay more for my dog if he stayed with me during the crossing.

"Pleasant Surprise!"

I've got to say I'm not the biggest fan of ferries and my childhood memories are awash with visions of me turning green and spending more time in the toilets than money in the shop! So when my friends told me that we were travelling to France by boat I have to admit I did question the whole trip... Well those memories are now drowned in the past as I was amazed with the smoothness of boarding and more importantly the crossing itself. The Club Lounge was comfortable and the staff were attentive and I am pleased to say that I cannot tell you what the toilets were like! Having flown with Ryanair recently I don''t know what I was worried about!!

"Great trip - Sunday 18th September 2011"

As part of a 1,000 mile charity cycle ride from Suffolk to the south of France myself and 2 friends took the ferry crossing from Dover to Calais with access to the private lounge and restaurant. We took the 9:40 crossing which was perfect for our schedule as we needed a hearty breakfast and space to relax. The boarding and departure process was really quick, the ferry on time and the lounge and restaurant offered attentive service and a fantastic full English breakfast. Having previously used the tunnel this is definitly the better way to travel! Nick Mills

"Spirit of Britain"

I am a regular ferry traveller between the UK and France and took the opportunity to travel on P&O's new ferry The Spirit of Britain shortly after she came into service. She is a large modern fast ferry and on one occasion when there was a considerable swell in the channel she took it in her stride and brushed the waves aside without any noticeable movement of the ship, something that is not always the case with the smaller older ferries on that route. Onboard facilities and catering were excellent with friendly and helpful staff, boarding and disemabarking was fast and efficient due to multiple loading/unloading ramps.
