"First Irish Ferry trip with P&O"

Although the Liverpool-Dublin trip is a long one at 7 hours, you can use the time to relax and get ready for whatever you’ve planned. We had a daytime cabin so had somewhere to snooze, read or even shower.Food on the Ferry was good and service too. Enjoyed the experience.

"Break to Dublin "

Easy to book, downside on booking on line was asked if wanted at an additional cost to book meals or a cabin. Didn't want a cabin due to daytime crossing. Glad we didn't pay extra for meals as they were included at no additional cost in the ticket price. This seems to be on line booking to get more money from travellers.

"Liverpool to Dublin "

We traveled over to Ireland for a road trip and took our own car on the ferry. The booking process was straight forward and we enjoyed the crossing. The food was free and we always had access to hot drinks. We sailed during the day but booked a cabin on our return due to there not being many places to sit. Some passengers used the comfy seats to lie down and sleep which reduced the seating area. Staff were friendly and helpful.

"Assessment of P &O Ferry service"

The catering as provided on the ferry on which I travelled was excellent. The food and service which your caterers on board was first class. I did at the time express my thanks to them personally for their hard word in producing a quality catering experience. Well done and thank you to all . On another topic, I experienced great difficulty trying to locate Terminal 3 at Dublin sea ferries in the hours of darkness. The signage was extremely poor. Fortunately for me a Docks Official led me to Terminal 3 . I followed his car to the terminal. Without his assistance, I doubt if I would ever found the terminal in time for my departure. As other must experience the same problem, I respectfully suggest that P&O update their signage at the Dublin Ferry Terminals and also provide a map giving clear and concise directions to their departure terminals.

"Liverpool to Dublin Ferry"

Fantastic cheap crossing with good breakfast and main meal included in the price. Everything was really efficient, on and off boat quickly there and back. Didn't reserve a room on way out but when got on boat booked one. For such a cheap price they are great, small but comfortable with own bathroom. Remeber this is a long sailing, 7 to 8 hours and the ship is mainly for transporting commercial goods but caters really well for travelers alike. Couple of TV's in the seating areas which are comfortable but basic. If you are thinking of going with young children then take loads of things for them to do as there is nothing for them and walking on the deck is restricted to a couple of relatively small areas. Overall it was a great crossing at a really good price

We had a cabin both ways, so the trip went quickly as you could either sleep or read. Food was rank on the trip from Liverpool, absolutely awful on the trip from Dublin. Would never travel with P&O again due to the disgusting way their UK employees were treated. Already booked and paid for trip before the news broke.

"Surprisingly good value"

Having completed the outbound and return trips, I can say that our overall experience was very good and any criticism must be taken into that context. I booked cabins for both journeys and glad I did so as it gave us a break out area where we could relax change cloths if we wanted and take a shower. On the outbound we were on the ship quickly and found all table already taken leaving us eating breakfast on bar stools but that was ok. I don't smoke so found duty free options limited for me but others will be content. On the return leg They had no beer so couldn't buy. Food was punctual and generous on the way out but breakfast was late and dinner early on the return leg but again generous so no worries if you are at the back of the queue. Getting on and off through check-in could do with a little more tech investment but somehow works. Overall I have to give the trip a very solid 8 out of 10 maybe a bit more.

This was our first time travelling complete with car on a ferr.in this day and age its a slow way to travel a relatively short distance. But with car hire being ramped up in price no doubt specially for the summer school holidays it made sence to take our own. Booking isn't to bad az long as you have all the necessary information to hand and upon arrival booking in and loading on to the ferry is simply enough. The food was good, the facilities adequate a d tbe crossing smooth and on time. I would do it again for sure.

"Not what we expected!"

Po When we booked this Dublin to Liverpool, we just assumed it would be like any ‘normal’ passenger car ferry, but we were surprised when it turned out to be a freight ferry instead. There were only 20 cars on board, the rest were trucks and containers. Boarding the ferry proved to be tricky…up a steep narrow ramp, then a tricky reverse manoeuvre into the outside ( ie exposed to weather) parking bays. Several elderly drivers were clearly struggling to back up in a straight line and needed lots of help from the crew to keep straight. After that the same elderly folk struggled again - this time with the very steep, narrow, metal steps up to the gangway and the ‘reception area’. Anyone who is disabled or infirm wouldn’t make this - there were no lifts either. The cabin we’d booked ( extra €20) was pretty good; warm, quiet, comfy, with toilet and shower. Complimentary breakfast, lunch and afternoon meals were also very good, and the Filipino crew were very friendly and helpful throughout. Our car was covered in a layer of white salt spray when it was time to disembark. Bottom line, this is an 8 hour journey on an old PO freight transport ferry, not a modern passenger-oriented one like the Stena we came over on. Be aware.

"Not bad but could be better."

Generally good, but breakfast could easily, and needs to be, improved. Evening meal pretty reasonable. I pity anyone who isn't physically in good shape - steep stairs and no lifts, so not suitable for disabled passengers. Liverpool end easy to find: Dublin end confusing and difficult to find - nearly missed the boat as a result of driving round for ages trying to find Terminal 3: P&O signage is woefully poor with entrance very easy to miss (we did) - apparently staff hear this very frequently. Received no text to advise us of alteration of sailing time from Dublin - due to sail at 21:30 and left at 20:30 (ten minutes after we finally found the terminal and boarded).

We didnt know what to expect upon boarding as we had opted for the basic package for my wife daughter myself and our car. My wife and daughter had never traveled by sea before so the 7 and a half hour journey was already a daunting thought in their minds but to our surprise we were offered a very comfortable double cabin with window and shower and toilet for £27 and were greeted with a full english breakfast free of charge and 2 additional meals throughout the day which were delightful. The staff on board were extremely helpful and friendly and made the voyage an equal part to our holiday experience to britain. Ive personally traveled with the other ferry companies and our P&O experience far surpassed them both and we will be travelling with them again hopefully later this year. So thank you P&O for getting our holiday off to a great start and ending our holiday in the same great experience it began with.

"A relaxing day "

We find this crossing to Ireland very relaxing and it is the best way for us to go there. It is very basic but comfortable and plenty of space to relax. The foor provided is always tasty and a good selection. It is not really suitable for young children as they could get bored, as it is a long day with little for them to do. For adults it is a way to wind down at the beginning and end of a break away.

"Alternative to Holyhead "

We wanted to take our bikes to Ireland so the ferry seemed to be the easiest option. We travelled from east anglia and took the overnight ferry from Liverpool. It was all very easy and smooth. The ferries don't have many passengers as they mostly seem to deal with freight. I would definitely recommend to break up a long journey

"Journey to Dublin on Norbay"

Sadly our trip ended in disaster as a deck steward directed us in our motorhome to proceed up a steep ramp from the lower deck to an upper deck. Unfortunately our high mounted near side mirror collided with an obstical part way up the ramp, completely smashing it. A competent dack hand should have realised that our vehicle was too large to proceed up the ramp, and should have allowed us to remain on the bottom deck with other large vehicles. Consequently, due to a replacement mirror only being available in France with a delivery time of at least four weeks, we were, unable to continue with our holiday and after spending one night in the P&O car park in Dublin we duly returned to Liverpool the following day, thus abandoning our long awaited holiday in Ireland. Having said that all of the P&O staff following the incident were most helpful,even upgrading us to a cabin for the return journey. I believe the company's attitude towards us following the incident shows that they realised that the incident was their staff's mistake. Since returning home I have emailed P&O addressing my concerns and have received an automated email from the company saying that they would look into my case within 28 days. As yet I have heard nothing further. My insurance company have agreed to pay for the new mirror (Over £800 less £200 excess) and will be asking P&O's Insurers to foot the bill. In addition I feel that further recompense is due as we have lost a much needed holiday and are unable to use our mororhome until the mirror is replaced. Given a satisfactory outcome we would certainly travel with P&O again in the future, but feel that the incident was due to inexperienced agency staff being used in place of the usual staff who had been made redundant.

We love this route have been using it for over 20 years The ferry trip is part of the holiday, love the old ships on that route it’s like a mini cruise really. The onboard team get a gold star ⭐️ food was excellent as was the Guinness and great to be able to do some duty free shopping. And finally we had a very comfortable en-suite cabin so slept for a few hours. God willing we hope to use this service again later in the year.

Couldn't really fault the trip. Easy check in both ways, friendly staff, arrived on time. Meal service was excellent. Could have done with a snack machine in-between meals as we hadn't taken any provisions. Slamming door by the room meant interupted sleep throughout the journey.

"Dublin Liverpool Po ferries"

The gentleman in the car park would not let me park to wait for the ferry as it was 3.am he said come back at 7 which is ridiculous as I had driven from cork as I did not want to go through Dublin at 7 am . There was no reason why I could not park there so I had to park in the streets of Dublin and come back ,the ferry is really just for truck drivers but it’s cheap and you get basic food , they recently but arm rests in the settee so you can’t lay down I would have thought to encourage buying a cabin ,it’s the only ferry that goes to Liverpool so there is no other choice for me , but it’s not a patch on Irish ferry’s .

"March 20 experience"

Our first time on the Liverpool Dublin service. Clearly designed for lorries indeed, on our trips there were no more than half a dozen cars each way. On the plus side this means the public spaces are relatively empty, the food simple but well cooked and tea/coffee/ fruit juice is always available; all included in the ticket price. On the negative side the entertainment is confined to a couple of televisions, and a bar. The cabins are simple, clean but without any frills. So provided you can entertain yourself for 8 hours this is excellent way to cross the Irish sea

"Over 60 traveller."

Travel frequently on ferries. This suited me as Liverpool was handy for my destination. It was also handy to sleep on board and wake refreshed which I did. The ship as we were told from the start is not suited for people with mobility problems so don't come with lots of bags to carry up stairs. Next time I will bring a rucksack as two hands to hold onto rails going up stairs would be useful. Otherwise a very good service.

"Norbay "

We have used the P&O Liverpool to Dublin Service a great number of times over the last 10 years, owing to a delay on boarding and sailing on the 20:30 passage (10/12/19) we collected our cabin key (Number 1) and went straight in to dinner. on entering the cabin there was a rather horrid smell, this was emanating from the en-suite which can only be described as the stench of rotting fish. As there was no one around to complain to at this time, we were not in a position to request being relocated to another cabin. The following morning i reported this to the stewardess. She informed me that it was probably the scuppers but having spent 15 years in the Merchant Navy as an Engineer i would be inclined to disagree. My guess would be the sanitary bin found under the sink the following morning hence the stench of rotting fish.

"A nice leisurely way to travel. "

Rather than put up with the turmoil and hassle of travelling to Ireland by air we chose to use the Liverpool to Dublin ferry. Specifically designed for freight traffic the boats accommodate a small number of cars, vans and motorhomes. Loading and unloading is easy and the helpful and efficient staff ensures a pleasant crossing. With a basic but very clean cabin and two meals included in the price it is the same cost as flying, the only difference being you arrive refreshed and calm ready to carry on with your journey. Highly recommended.

I've done this route a number of times and it's always good. The most recent used a smaller vessel, the Norbank, which is smaller and not as comformable as the former ships I've used. But, the staff are always courteous, efficient and try to make your experience positive. The on board food is good enough, but plentiful, so no complaints there. Overall, very good.

We used P&O Ferries to travel from Liverpool to Dublin during October 2019 then back to Liverpool a week later. We were impressed by the overall efficiency and the space and comfort on board. The weather was very stormy on the way out but the ship kept stable enough for us not to feel any ill effects. The two free meals on each journey along with constant free tea and coffee were welcome. Our only slight grumble was that the crossing was delayed by an hour on the way back but there were no apologies or explanations.

Overall a decent trip. we have taken several ferries on Europe and the UK now. But this ferry was scheduled for 7-1/2 hours, 21:30 - 5:00 Saturday morning. When we checked in we were informed that breakfast would be served at apx. 4:00 to 4:30. We got up at 4:15 and went downstairs. Nothing but coffee was available. At 5:00 I asked about arrival times and was informed that breakfast was to be served about 5:45 with arrival at 6:30. Would have been really nice to have that extra hour of sleep. Poor communication on their part. This was not due to weather.

"Time passes by "

Although you are on board some eight hours it can pass by , if you rent a cabin , enjoy your free breakfast , take the air on one of the decks and then go and have a snooze which you will probably need if you have been up early and driven a fair distance . There is no TV in the cabin so make sure you take something to read or a small transistor radio . before you know they are serving afternoon tea and you are ready to dock at your destination

The ship is comfortable, even if you don't have cabin. There are plenty of seats and it's clean and spacious. The food is great - plentiful and well cooked. The staff were all lovely - from the people at check-in to the guys clearing plates - everyone chatted and was helpful. What wasn't good was the schedule. Two hours late going over, and 3 hours late getting back. No good if you've made any important arrangements. I do understand that weather is outside of P & O's control, but neither day was really poor, and friends on a different ferry (same day) had no delays at all.

"Excellent Customer Service both on and off the boat."

I tripped on a step on the ferry and broke my arm. I am 85 years old. My fault totally as the step was well sign posted. The captain phoned the ambulance service and delayed the sailing time until the paramedics examined me. I wished to continue the journey and the Captain allowed me too on the advice of the paramedics who told me to get treatment in Dublin. I cannot fault the efforts of all of the crew who looked after me. They really went above and beyond. A particular call out for the captain Gary Law, the Chief Officer Alan Swell and the OBS manager Rafic Foukraciie. I went back on the shorter journey to Cairnryan and that was a faultless trip also. Juliette Laasko of P&O Customer Care team quickly facilitated a refund from Direct Ferries for the cancelled return journey.

There is no getting away from the fact the the ferry from Liverpool to Dublin is old...very old.

"Good experience with children"

We travelled as a family of 5(2 adults and 3 children-1,3,6). When leaving Liverpool the ship was delayed for 2,5 hours which understandably can happen. As compensation we were given 2 cabins free of charge . We greatly appreciate this as I think it opened our eyes that we needed cabins when travelling with such young children. The cabins were great, clean and cosy for our journey. On our journey home we purchased 2 cabins for 40€. All the children slept for some of the journey! The communal area again was clean and tidy. Great options for the catering side and it was all included in the price . Limited options for the children but they still are something! The only flaw was no children area as so previous ferries we were on but we brought lots to entertain them. Overall good experience and would travel again. The staff were all kind and courteous

"Horrendous experience "

A little advice. Don’t use Direct Ferries to book a Ferry anywhere. I paid extra for a flexi ticket which states you are allowed a complete refund if cancelled before 24 hours of departure. I cancelled the ticket well before 24 hours and they said cancellation and refund on my crossing with PO from Dublin to Liverpool wasn’t possible. My flexi ticket I purchased from them stated differently then I had some obnoxious prick of a customer service manager to deal with on the phone . Do not deal with them as they are con merchants. The ferry was old with no amenities with hardly any choice of food etc . It states on the ticket we would arrive in Liverpool at 16:30 and i was still sat on the ferry at 17;30 we weren’t delayed in departure and the weather was perfect.

both ships services and staff are excellent , however in my opinion norbank has the edge, seemed to be more selection foodwise and obviously cabins a bit more updated. just a minor point there is never any soap or shower gell in the cabin dispensers, we know to bring our own. drinks facilities at Dublin port are very poor and are only available when check in is opened.

"Gladstone dock & Norbank"

One of the female P&O staff at Gladstone docks searched our car. She was very rude and I wonder if she was trained or authorised. None of the trucks seemed to be searched. Was this right ?? Norland is a freight handling ship, so very few amenities. Great staff. Good food. Little choice at breakfast. Old fashioned cabin and bathroom, but clean and comfortable. Overall ok, but the woman at Gladstone docks needs a job swap with someone who does not deal with paying guests.

"Traumatic experience and physical pain"

During disembarkation at Liverpool my son and I were traumatised when we attempted to find our car in a hull packed with cargo containers. There was no officers to guide us through the labyrinth of the vessel that was designed for freight and not fee paying passengers. We spent half an hour searching in dimly lit and dirty conditions. The engineers and labourers that worked below decks were the only people we came across and were not helpful. During our ordeal I slipped on an oily metal chain that was strewn across the floor as I squeezed between the narrow gap between two containers. I slipped to the ground and damaged my knee. The experience left us in a state of shock and indeed I we are both still traumatised by it. We were returning from a week's trip around Ireland. The outward ferry journey was from Cairnryan to Belfast. That journey was both comfortable and safe with all the facilities expected from an efficient passenger service. If I would have known what type of vessel and journey we would have to endure in order to return to the UK,I would have definitely not hve booked it. There were many breaches of health and safety involved. Therefore I intend to make formal complaints to ABTA and ITAA. I have photographic and video evidence of our ordeal. I expect to receive a prompt reply from you with regard to this matter. A full refund of the journey fee should be the minimum compensation for our ordeal. Sean Daly

"Liverpool to dublin"

The first trip from Liverpool to Dublin we travelled on the Norbay (I think it was called?) and it was delayed over an hour with no explanation or announcement made to clarify the delay? We were sat on the boat for 2 hours before it left Liverpool harbour. We enquired regards the meal times on board as we were travelling with 2 young infants but the response was confusing to say the least? One person told me 4pm and another told my partner 4.30-5pm? Breakfast was 9.30am so the fact dinner was served 15minutes before we departed the ship made zero sense? Surely a lunch/dinner at 1, 2 or 3 would have made more sense? On the journey back to depart we were delayed in traffic around Dublin as there was heavy road works all over. We were conscious of running over the 8am check in so we called the office to let them know we were running slightly over the time. The person on the phone said they would pass on the message. When we arrived at check in it was 8.06am - and the gate was closed? The lady at Dublin terminal 3 port said it would not be possible to board as the ship was due to depart so we’d missed our ferry? We explained that we had a 2 year old and 1 year old in the car and had just driven 3 hours to get there, surely they could have let us through? But she said it wasn’t possible. She then offered us a later sail that night which was 12 hours later or another one in the morning...at a cost of almost 3 times what we’d paid for our original return sail in total? This was all made worse by the fact that the whole time we were parked up at the cabin trying to arrange a new route - the P&O ship we should have been on hadn’t even moved? It was there over a further hour. We arrived at 8.06am and that boat didn’t leave the whole time we were there. We drove to Irish ferries terminal after 9am and the staff and got on a different sail. The experience and dealings with Irish ferries staff couldn’t have been any different! They were helpful and accommodating throughout. Needless to say I would not consider P&O again or recommend them to anyone

"Refined service"

Everything was good, especially the food. The only 'BIG' fault is that I completed my task in Ireland so was ready to leave for the UK mainland 12 hrs earlier than booked. I went to the ferry port to see if I could get an earlier ferry transfer as I was extremely tired because of driving 750 miles or so and had 300 more to do but the P&O ferry port was closed for the night! Stena for one were still operating at night but the cost of the journey back with them and considering half of the cost that I had paid P&O (for the return journey) would have been wasted, made it inefficient.

"BE prepared to be treated as a second-class citizen"

Recently, we made a return Dublin/Liverpool trip with P&O. Overall, the trip was satisfactory, but car drivers come as a very low priority on this road-haulage ferry. We were kept waiting a very long time on the outward journey, meaning that the dinner included on the ticket was less than warm. Our two main courses were not warm and the chips were lukewarm. For breakfast the next morning, the galley were short of croissant rolls The return journey was better and - because we were allowed on early - the food was much more satisfying. On both legs, however, the price charged for the berths is outlandish, considering the way the beds are made, the lack of self-regulating heating and the very basic provision. Another grumble is that car drivers are always placed on the top deck, exposed to the sea, wind and rain and they are always delayed in leaving.

Maybe I did not read the small print, but the journeys t and from Ireland were like two different worlds.

Come the Endeavour, all was 'sweetness and light. Everything was cleaner, more comfortable, there was a most useful lift. I do nit remember such a difference beng made obvious in the literature.

"Book direct with P&O. Avoid Direct Ferries."

Direct Ferries charged me twice for the same trip. They did not confirm either payment at the time of booking. When I phoned them they kept me on hold for one hour and then the line went dead. They did not reply to my email until a few hours before the ferry was due to leave. This is not enough time to pack and prepare for a holiday. In the meantime I made the booking directly with P&O, who were fabulous. So I have paid for this trip 3 times. I have emailed Direct Ferries to ask for my money back. They have ignored my email. Even this review is an example of how poorly behaved Direct Ferries are because they are asking me to review the ship, which was great. I would highly recommend P&O.

I can only assume that your customer services department is imaginary . all I want is confirmation that I did not sail and that my booking was non refundable so that I can complete a travel insurance claim. I will never book using DIRECT FERRIES again .

This is the best way to travel from the north west of England to Dublin with young kids in our opinion, we have done Holyhead but the drive is tiresome. Flying is a nightmare also. This is also a lot cheaper than Holyhead. Just be aware there are no lifts and the stairs are quite steep but really not a problem for us.

"GREAT VALUE"

If your thinking of traveling by car to Ireland from the North West its a bargain you get your breakfast and dinner included on board and for a little extra you can have your own cabin with bathroom great to have a shower and and good sleep after a long journey.

"Basic but good"

Lovely staff, great complementary food, cabins very basic and could do with an upgrade but bedclothes/ towels clean, parking car a bit of a challenge and not much signage to find way on board from deck. I have travelled this route before and knew what to expect so would recommend with this added proviso - basic but good.

"Good Value Day Sailing!"

Had a pleasant and good value journey, leaving Dublin for Liverpool at 9am. All the staff are nice and the included food is a real bonus.. it makes all the difference and makes the 8 hour journey go that bit quicker!! Good Value cabins as well! Just a pity that the overnight sailing is so much more expensive!! As usual with P and O, the signage at the port is pretty useless...been like this for years...wish an intelligent member of staff would take a look at it!!

"Pleasant sea crossing"

Most impressed with check in. As I walked up to the counter the girl welcomed me by name (scanned car rego she knew who I was). She briefed me that there were only 7cars on this voyage (the remaining vehicles were trucks), that dinner and breakfast were included in our overnight crossing and how to check in to our cabin once on board. The cabin was very basic but clean. Great to be able to sleep in a bed. The staff on board were very helpful and polite. A great experience. Would recommend to anyone to do this overnight voyage.

"Excellent service"

Arrived at Dublin Port, travelling with my 7yr old daughter and her mum. Straight onto ferry. Lovely breakfaat and Dinner on board at no cost. Sailing over to Liverpool very smooth. Very few passengers on the sailing. Offered a cabin on board at reception, £22:50. Purchased cabin and great if with children at that price. Ship very clean and staff helpful. Only issues was there was no real shop on board to buy gifts and when the ship sailed the reception and shop shut. Also, the member of staff who made the announcements over the ships tannoy system was not English/Irish and could not be understood with her announcements. I feel this would have been a real issue if there had been an emergency. Also, this service is not advisable for anyone with a disability as there are no lifts on board and stairs to negotiate up to and down from the car deck. Other than that, a good experience. Thank you.

We Travelled from Liverpool to Dublin for on the 9-30 Boat on the 13th of March for St Patrick wee, we have to say it was a excellent crossing from start to finish The staff from the Lady who book you onto the Boat to the Staff helping you off the Boat is excellent. The Staff are very Friendly and for the food it was excellent, Breakfast is served with a friendly smile and you are spoiled for choice, The Lads that take your dishes do a excellent job and are very polite. Dinner was 16-30 and yet again you where spoiled for choice, I had Beef with potatoes and I have to say it was delicious. The Ship was spotless, we had a cabin and everything was to a very high standard. I would recommend to anyone that is going to Ireland to book with Direct Ferries .

"Not a bad ship, shame about the cabin..."

The ship and crew were great. Everyone was polite and helpful throughout the voyage. The decks and public spaces were clean and the restaurant food was nice with a good variety of options. Only downside was the cabin. While the beds were comfortable and clean, there was a strong smell of urine eminating from the toilet/shower. Closed the bathroom door immediately to avoid the worst if the stench. Didn't even go for a shower in there as it was that bad.

"Would book direct next time"

We had an extra passenger on our return journey as our daughter not wanting to miss any school days, flew out to meet us. This had all been pre arranged, booked and paid paid for at time of original booking with direct ferries. On our arrival at Dublin port P&O said that direct ferries had only booked for the 2 of us both ways of our journey. Even though I had confirmation of our booking, P&O needed to liase with direct ferries. They tried calling but no one was available to take their call. Long story short.....we had to pay AGAIN for our extra already booked and paid for passenger. I understand that we are all human and mistakes can be made, but to not be available on the other end if a telephone when you should be is unforgivable. Not at all happy!

"Ferry trip to Dublin from Liverpool"

It was a great trip, the on board facilities were fantastic! We didn't realise that we were going to get 2 good meals enroute. The quality of the food was superb. It is well worth booking a cabin for the small extra charge, particularly as we had driven back to Dublin through the night, we could have a few hours rest and have our own toilet. It probably would have been quicker for us to travel from Hollyhead or Milford Haven but I wanted to experience the Liverpool Dock scene again, (my hometown). It is a far cry to when we used to travel aboard the cattle boats in the 60's and they unloaded the cows before the passengers got off! One slight difficulty was getting to the right ferry terminal, it would be easy to get lost at both sides of the Irish sea. However when we did arrive all the paperwork was in order and we were made welcome and we were expected. Great trip, much recommended!!!!

"P and O managed not to inconvenience us too much despite hurricane force winds."

We were booked to sail the morning after there had been hurricane force winds on the Irish Sea. Not surprisingly our boat was cancelled and we were transferred to a boat that night, supposedly with Pullman seats. As we usually get a cabin with ensuite even for day trips I was not looking forward to this. My husband and I are good sailors but a lot of people aren't and it's nice to have your own bathroom. When we checked in we were pleasantly surprised to find we did, in fact, have a cabin which was a great relief. The trip was smooth and uneventful. The facilities are basic, but clean. This is reflected in the price. There is a decent variety of food. I felt they did well to accommodate us when they must have had a lot of juggling to do.

" What a Treat it was! "

Dare I say the initial part of this journey was not as I had wished, that being put off with the delay in setting sail. Twas at least 4 hours, due to the late arrival of the ship. However once away down the river Mersey things started to look and feel better. In fact we received a great cabin FOC for this journey, no doubt this was due to the inconvenience we were caused. Thank you P/O. Plus may I add another bonus came to light. We had some great complementary meals which were not mentioned when we made the original booking. Thus finding out on the return journey it was again a standard procedure on this crossing to Dublin, plus the food and service was to a pretty good standard with plenty of choice. To conclude. Now that i can find the way to the dock I would use this service again. As there were no proper direction leaflets sent to me indicating where P/O loading took place other than when you see a ship which was not awaiting in this instance. CHEERS. jack.

"Good value for money"

We travelled on the long boat which was an 8 hour trip. We were pleasantly surprised to hear we would be receiving free meals on board. This was great, it meant we didn't have to bring food with us. Hot drinks were available throughout the day/night which was handy for me to make up my baby's bottles. We travelled to dublin on the 9am boat, it was very old and had rusty windows. The decor was like 80s or 90s and the cabin needed updating, bedding needs replacing as it was ripped and duvet needs replacing as it looks old- I didn't use the bedding for this reason. The night boat back from Dublin to Liverpool was the complete opposite, it was modern and clean thank goodness. Cabins were modern and clean. The boats decor was modern to, it has a lovely viewing room, bar selling and free cinema. This was more like what I was more like expecting. If I was to use this ferry company again I would avoid the early morning boar as it was old and tired. Oh good was amaxing on both boats and staff are friendly, helpful and polite. Thank you.

"Liverpool Dublin ferry review 2017"

Easy to find Liverpool port with good road access. Simple processing system on arrival at port. Dublin has simple easy access and processing but difficult to find port, local signs direct to main port. The Norbank is a car/haulage ferry and as such it offers basic facilities. Cabins are basic and adaquate for the 8 hour crossing. Bonus is definitely the free meals which are fresh with a good choice. Standard is more at a canteen level rather than cordon blue. One criticism is there is not enough space to eat your meal due to the limited amount of tables.The ship would benefit from having a separate lounge and dining area rather than a common one. Staff are very friendly and clear up at meal times efficiently and quickly. Free tea and coffee etc through the the journey is a bonus. Lock needs to be negotiated on leaving Liverpool which can impact on leaving time but ferry made up some of the time crossing to Dublin one and a half hour delay leaving, arrived 45 minutes late. Return ferry left on time and arrived slightly early.

"Costly trip"

A ferry trip booked through Direct Ferries, from Liverpool to Dublin, that should have cost me only 72 euros, wound up costing me over 200 euros, due to poor communication on the part of Direct Ferries. The trip was booked for Sunday Aug 5th at 9:30 am. We arrived at the dock address given in the itinerary email from DF, at 8:20 am, only to find the dock closed. We waited for 10 minutes thinking we had arrived early, only to realize that the dock was closed on Sundays. We eventually found a sign, not in plain site, indicating that on Sundays, the ferry left from a different terminal, we got lost trying to find the other terminal due to our GPS taking us to the P&O offices instead of the terminal. By the time we got to the correct address, the ferry was just leaving. I immediately tried to call DF, but they have no answering service available on the weekend. We tried to book a later ferry directly through P&O but nothing was available until midnight. Other ferry services out of HolyHead, 2 hours away, were in the 300 euro range, so we opted to book another day at the hotel we had stayed in the night before, as well as paying an additional 45 euros to P&O for the midnight ferry. I feel Direct Ferries should be responsible for giving the correct address for Sunday bookings. The fact that they are unaware of the change in terminal departures, shows an ineptitude one would not expect from a large travel brokerager. The trip itself with P&O was fine, but again, I feel DF should be aware of any address changes in the departures of ferry trips they book,

"Review of Journies Liverpool/Dublin, Dublin/Liverpool on the Norbank and the Norbay July/Augut 20"

The outside cabin was very comfortable and good value for our day crossing. Vegetarians were catered for and there was plenty of choice for the 2 meals. Staff were pleasant and helpful. There was ample seating, a television and a bar. The shop was not open for a large part of the crossing and items were purchased from behind glass which did not facilitate a 'normal' shopping experience. At both ports the staff advising where to park were very helpful and gave clear instructions. There was no lift which would need to be noted by anyone with a disability that affects walking up steep steps which are part of the transfer from car deck to the ship's facilities.

"Uncomfortable crossing "

I really enjoyed the trip back to Dublin, staff were great and I really enjoyed having a breakfast however I was very cold during the journey back and asked the staff if they could turn the heating on but they explained that they couldn't do anything. I hadn't brought a blanket with me this made the journey very uncomfortable and as a result I have ended up with the cold since arriving home as a result lack of adequate heat on the journey . Other passengers looked cold as well and most people were wearing jackets to keep warm.

"Helpful Staff"

I cannot praise the staff high enough especially, from the Liverpool side of the terminal, the care and help they gave was exemplary. The ferry journey was comfortable and with friendly staff with good cabin accomodation and food an added bonus was being able to hepl yourself to hot drinks throughout the journey. the added bonus of a stable ship prevented sea sickness too.

"P&O Review"

My wife and I recently went to Ireland and chose this time to sail from Liverpool with P&O. I was more than happy with the ferry prices as the cost was the same as going from Holyhead but I only had to drive 30 minutes to the ferry instead of 2 hours. Once onboard we were greeted by a very nice staff member who informed us that we would get 2 meals during the journey. This was an added bonus to the event. Even my wife, who is terrified of sailing, enjoyed the experience. The return journey was a mirrir image of the outbaound one. Overall we were very happy with the whole experience and will sail from Liverpool with P&O again.

"Did the job"

Travelled out at 9am both journeys, sat in the TV lounge the duration, comfortable enough. Free coffee and juice and breakfast and dinner were good. Staff relaxed and helpful. Quiet sailing with basic facilities, we did need to entertain our 6 year old which wasn't unexpected. Time between meals is a long time not to eat, take some snacks or sandwiches. Breakfast served on entry and dinner served as entering port. Eventually off boat by 6pm due to time taken to sort out off loading

"Liverpool Dublin"

Trip from Liverpool to Dublin on the Norbank was very smooth, staff were friendly and helpful and food was excellent. My husband who is Coeliac was offered an excellent choice of gluten-free food by a knowledgeable chef. Return journey from Dublin to Liverpool on the European Endeavour was less smooth. Chef gave the appearance of having to guess which foods were gluten-free and occasionally changed his mind which did not inspire confidence. However no ill effects in the end. Overall good a trip.

"Comfortable crossing"

We recently sailed with P & O from Liverpool to Dublin. We booked a cabin as the crossing takes 8 hours and would recommend a cabin even though it was a daytime sailing (much more comfortable). The food was much better than we expected and included in the price. Only downside was, we had a long wait to board as we were informed last check in time was 2 hrs before sailing so we arrived 2 1/2 hours early as we thought there would be a queue, we were the first there! The boarding booth didn't open until approx 1 hr before sailing. If you don't mind the time it takes to travel by sea then would recommend it.

"May 2017 - We highly recommend P & O Irish Sea - Direct Ferries."

We had an excellent trip and highly recommend P & O Irish Sea. Travellers, please be aware that these boats are not designed for disabled travellers or children, they are freight carriers, no lifts. If you can manage stairs, there are 2 - 3 sets, depending on whether you take a cabin. My sister and I took our 81yr old mother to Ireland. The 3 of us travelled from Liverpool to Dublin and return. From the moment we arrived at the port, our trip was a breeze. The staff were a delight, warm, friendly, smiley and extremely professional and efficient. It's not easy travelling with a mum who is not so stready on her feet but they did all that was possible to assist us at every step. The meals were freshly cooked and tasty. My sister is a vegetarian, so we were pleasantly surprised when the chef made a special main meal for my sister, on both trips. So kind. Though the boats and facilities are quite old and dated, we could not fault them, at all, as they were immaculate. We actually enjoyed stepping back in time to when we travelled as children. Loved it. We do have a couple of recommendations to the company, that we feel are very important. 1. To provide the full postal address on the tickets, where the boat departs from and a contact number? 2. Improve on signage to the departure point, as they are very small and few. I would like to thank and congratulate P & O Irish Sea on their wonderful staff and the quality of service. See you again soon. Kind regards, Mandy

"A commercial ferry allowing non-commercial passengers"

What a challenge loading a non Ro-Ro vessel which was full on the main deck! The result was a slightly late departure and arrival. We had a pet in our vehicle so P&O required us to be on the main deck and this resulted in us being one of the last to be loaded. The impact of this was the restaurant closing shortly after us boarding with a reduced range of options, and a reduction in our time asleep. The food was plentiful and offered a reasonable choice, however there was no vegetarian main course option for either meal (and a slight surprise at the request!). Cabins and facilities were basic but perfectly adequate for what it was - a truckers ferry which allowed non-commercial passengers and vehicles (please view ratings in this context). We felt we had a much more relaxed journey with time saving, accommodation and a couple of "trucker" meals for little difference in price between this and a day sailing via Holyhead, so we were happy. It also felt like a real ship (as opposed to a floating Butlins)!

"Norbank and European endeavour "

Going to Dublin, we went on The Norbank cabin was great ,clean , staff friendly and helpful food lovely. First time on a boat and was brilliant. I'd give this boat 10/10 .As it was so good we decided to get a cabin coming back ,we came back to Liverpool on the European endeavour the toilet wasn't clean in the cabin , we went down to get a drink about 22.30 , then had something to eat. Food was ok . Went back to our cabin and staff had let themselves in stripped the beds , our handbags were still in cabin , luckily nothing was taken ,however they shouldn't of went in our cabin till we were ready to leave the boat. So please be careful if you do get a cabin as the staff just let them selves in without permission so I personally would not go on this boat again 2/10

I often travel by ferry from either Beirkenhead or Holyhead, although I find all these crossing good, I find bootleg offers more value for money. All meals are included and staff are very helpful.

I can highly recommend Direct ferries. The staff were polite and helpful. The ships were clean and the facilities very good. The White bed linen in the cabins was spotless. Even the soap/ shower gel and towels are provided in your ensuite. The food is of a high standard and plentiful. We journeyed to and from Ireland and enjoyed a selection of salads, soups,full English breakfast, fish and chips and best of all was the delicious chicken and leek pie served piping hot on the Endeavour. The fact that free soft drinks and hot drinks are available throughout the day means that you do not need to take anything on board for your journey.

As this was our first ferry trip to Ireland we did not know what to expect but all was above expectectation from the directions to the Port of Liverpool to the outward bound portion. The first ferry was a bit small and overall not enough seating in the lounge but the food was excellent. The return trip was another matter the instructions on how to get to he required terminal where very poor to such an extent that we got lost in the port of Dublin and only found the correct terminal through the help of another ferry line?. If more succinct instructions from the M50 tunnel where given this would improve this problem. Overall it was a most enjoyable Ferry trip and very good value for money..

"A great way to get to Ireland"

Great service, and I'd only fault it with regards to the lack of signage within the port at Bootle , which meant that I was driving around for ages looking for the queue.For me it was s great way to get to Ireland , and far better than driving all the way from Sheffield to Holyhead.

"Great trip"

While travelling from Liverpool to Dublin on a return trip I was pleasantly surprised. Yes the journey was 8 hours long but with 2 free meals and unlimited hot drinks and juices who am I to complain about the journey length. I travelled with a 9 and 10 year old and 1 of the staff even showed them magic tricks. The staff were lovely and helpful. Coming home we were even allowed control of the tv. I would recommend using this company and will use them myself again in the future. Just be prepared for a long day. My only down comment is that we were delayed by 1 1/2 hours Dublin to Liverpool by did get to Liverpool 30 mins earlier than planned.

"Great experience of the Norbank and Norbay but appalling directions to Dublin port "

Pros- ship was lonely . Was given a free cabin on the way back. Food was fantastic. Cons- no internet took quite a while to disembark the ship These above cons were minor . My biggest problem the directions to the Dublin ferry port was appalling. The signs were totally misleading and just take you round in circles. Check this thoroughly online before and basically don't take a great deal of notice of the signs at the port. They are the worst directional signs I have ever seen.

"Taking the ferry from Liverpool to Dublin"

Really easy crossing - we drove our car onto the ferry and left Liverpool at the scheduled time. The evening meal was well cooked and there was a good choice on the menu. Everything was clean, the staff kept the dining area cleared at all times. The only thing we missed was a full English breakfast next morning (we've had this on ferry crossings in the past) but other than that, we arrived in Dublin earlier than scheduled and the arrangements for driving off the ferry were very well managed. Really pleased with the whole process.

The privilege of being stowed "last on/first off" on the main deck rather than on the upper deck with the other passenger/tourist vehicles is very much appreciated. We've already booked our next trip! Thank you P&O - you're fantastic!

"Ferry Crossing "

The ferry port was very difficult to find in Liverpool. There is no signage in downtown. We were directed by locals all over Liverpool and because so, we almost missed the ferry. With that being said once we arrived 10 mins before departure, the crew was very helpful accommodating us and getting us checked in and on board. The ferry itself was clean and the staff was very efficient. We would sail again on PO Ferries, now that we know where the port is at.

"great trip"

We chose to have have a shorter drive and a long ferry trip rather than the other way around. The price was very good and the instructions said food was provided. You board the ferry at 7.00 /7,30 depending on which direction you are traveling, breakfast was served by 8.30am and a further meal was served at 4.00pm. The food was very good and plenty of it. There was a hot drinks machine which was available throughout the journey. No lunch was provided, which would not be a problem if you could purchase a sandwich / pasty or some sort of lunch time item. All there was for sale was crisps, chocolate and peanuts. Cabins could be purchased for about £15, we didn't bother with one as there was plenty of comfortable seating. This is mainly a freight vessel and therefore the passenger space is much reduced, this being said there are not as many passengers to fill the space. You can take a stroll on deck which was a little bracing. There are two TV lounges, you can change the channels once you figure out the controls, There were some DVD's available on the way out but not on the way back. Between the serving of meals, watching TV, DVD's playing games ( I brought a little box of travel games and playing cards) the eight hours didn't pass too badly. Cars are parked on deck surrounded by lorry trailers, on the way out the sea was rough and all the cars had a coating of salt on them. Not sure if it is related but the emissions filter light came on, we came to the conclusion it had been covered in salt, a fortnight later it eventually went out. All in all I would recommend this as a reasonable way to avoid driving all the way to South Wales. you can walk around pop to the loo, have something to eat instead of sitting in the car unable to do all of the above. Just remember bring some lunch and something to entertain yourself.

"Time with the kids and lots of food"

Before setting out I thought 9 hours each way on the ferry would test the patience of my children, but actually it was fine. With a meal provided both just as you set off and then just before docking, time is 'eaten' up. On the way back (Endeavour) there was also a film on and we had access to a TV. Just take some books, pencils etc. and together with some walks on the deck and rests in the cabin, it is good time to relax - much better than driving all the way to Holyhead. The only thing I didn't understand is why have a meal at 16.00 on a Sunday rather than wait an hour or 2? and only I had (very good) fish and chips at 23.00.

"The ups and downs of P&O ferry travel"

I cannot recommend highly enough the crew the food and the cabins. It's a slow crossing but when you do it a few times you start to understand why you seem to wait in Liverpool for so long after arriving. My trip this time was marred on the return by being placed in a dirty cabin with crumbs and other dirt on the window ledge and even worse on the wall of the loo, I only discovered the latter at the end of my cabin stay. I would have asked for a change if I'd noted it before. I'm sure it was an oversight as I've used the ferry lots of times and never had a bad cabin. The one other issue is that I went to book on P&O and the price of a cabin was much more costly. I did ask customer services at P&0 and was told the price had changed. But on board the staff say it hasn't changed and only charge £15-20 for a cabin in the day/ afternoon. So book with Direct Ferries to get the correct price is my advice. One final bugbear,no WiFi on board.Why not???

"Norbank out Endeavor back"

Great crossing, as ever. Efficient and friendly check in at Liverpool, similar at Dublin. 2 meals provided as part of the crossing what more to ask for? Well WiFi wouldbe good as would consistent advice from customer services staff as P&O on the true cost of a day time cabin and why they think in this day and age that its safe or wise to suggest sharing a cabin with a stranger? This of course is a management issue as both ships have friendly crew, the boats are clean and the cabins neat. Dont forget to take a 2 pin european adapterif you want to charge your phone. The Endeavor is more like a standard passenger ferry but both are predominently for cargo. The one downside is that it takes a long time in the Liverpool lock to set off but also on return, you end up waiting over an hour to get off the ship even after arriving at the destination.

"A Trip to Liverpool"

The trip to and from Liverpool was most enjoyable. The ships were spotless, in particular the cabin, the toilet facilities and the restaurant. The staff were most helpful and extremely courteous. The food was excellent and included in the overall price. The ship left Dublin on time and arrives in Liverpool on time. However, it was a great disappointment to have to spend 1.75 hours in Liverpool before being able to disembark. No explanation was afforded us and no appology proffered. This meant attempting to negotiate the route from Liverpool docks to Liverpool Centre at 12.25 am in driving rain. Our outward journey was delayed by 24 hours as the ferry was cancelled due to adverse weather. It was a disappointment that when we tried to regain the day we had lost by extending our stay in Liverpool by 12 hours we were charged. This charge of over 100 Euro might have been waived in the particular instance and hopefully it may yet be refunded. Negotiating Liverpool docks would be greatly facilitated if the ticket clearly stated the name of the dock at which the ship arrives and from which she departs. Including a map which clearly indicated the route from the dock to Liverpool city centre and back would be of the greatest assistance as the route is poorly signposted and difficult to negotiate for the uninitiated. Ba dheas an rud aitheantas a thabhairt don Ghaeilge. An acknowledgement of the Irish lanaguage would be appreciated.

My wife and I travelled from Liverpool to Dublin on Oct 28th returning on November 5th 2014. The outward journey was rather eventful, as the boat hit the side of the berth on departure, resulting in a two hour delay on the eventual departure time, as safety checks were made. The sea was rather choppy, and conditions were made worse by the Captains efforts to make up time by going faster than normal to try not to be too late into Dublin.We were both feeling rather ill by the time we reached Dublin. The return journey couldn't have been more different, with very calm seas and the smoothest journey I've experienced in recent years. As usual we could not fault the service and food on board both ships with pleasant and attentive staff throughout our journey, and clean well-equipped cabins.We will use this service again

"Smooth Sailing"

Had a good trip with very smooth seas. Only about 10 cars, the rest of the load was truck trailers so very few people. Fare included breakfast and an early dinner about an hour before docking in Dublin. Great service and I would not hesitate to use this crossing again.

"Ireland - Liverpool & Liverpool - Ireland"

I have travelled this route a couple of times now since moving to Ireland. I love this journey, its relaxing and also I could not believe that you are given a full breakfast and tea, coffee all day long, and then a dinner before you disembark, and it is better than some hotels I have been in. The staff are very good and very polite. I would recommend this way of travelling and I also get a cabin so I can relax even more. P & O are a great service and I always book with Direct Ferries as they are very competitive .

"Stress free "

I travelled on the older ship which is not as modern and does not have the same facilities as the European Endevour, however it is still a relaxing and stress free journey. I travelled on the morning ferry after travelling 4 hours to Dublin and had a cabin which was immaculate, spacious and really comfortable. For me if you have the time (8 hour sailing) it's the best way to travel. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.

"Excellent Service"

My family are frequent travellers to Ireland, and have for years used the Holyhead service, which was fast, but tiring due to arriving with little rest. This was our first experience of P&O via Liverpool and we were impressed with the excellent service. The food was plentiful and lots of it - the cabin was clean and spacious enough for us, and the crew members we encountered were friendly and very helpful. I would always use this service in the future - excellent service.

"Dulbin Port"

My experience of my recent trip from Liverpool/Dublin was very good. Only one complaint - the directions to the ferry and P&O in Dublin on the R131 were appalling. Having taken the turning signed - "Entry to Port and Car Ferry" which took us down Alexander Road we were directed by excellent signs for our terminal and P&O only to be led right back onto the road we had just come in on. We went round again, double-checking all the signs with the same result. The third time we ignored the "Port and Car Ferry" sign and continued further along the R131 where we found another sign for P&O Ferry, which was the correct one. Having driven around Ireland for 3 weeks and read comments in guide books about quirky Irish signage, this one beat the lot. I'm glad we were in good time. Anyone arriving late would have been in a panic. The sign I refer to is clearly visible on Google Earth. I think you need to sort this out.

This was a little adventure for myself and my 15 year old son and it was just pretty good. I have never driven on to a boat before. All we needed from the sailing was to get from Liverpool to Dublin, eat, shower and sleep. This we done with ease. Food was pretty good, had refreshing shower with clean towels on hand. Bed was comfortable with crisp clean sheets but the quilt smelled of dirty socks on the journey out. The staff were helpful and friendly.

"Best Crossing For Years"

From the moment I arrived at Liverpool docks, I knew this was going to be a better than usual crossing. For the fist time ever, the lady in security actually knew my name and gave a friendly welcome. We quickly boarded and found the crew on the ferry equally friendly. The food was fairly basic, but very good and after a few drinks we made our way to the cabin which had twin beds instead of bunk beds. The whole experience gave a good start to our holiday and I would recommend it to anyone travelling to Ireland. Well done P & O.

"A pleasant surprise"

I travelled between Liverpool and Dublin recently, outbound I took the overnight ferry leaving Liverpool at 3am. To be honest I was a little nervous as a solo female traveler, but I had nothing to worry about. The reception at Liverpool port was very welcoming and friendly, I felt safe the whole time. I was guided on to the ferry in my camper van, parked up and made my way to the deck. The atmosphere was friendly and safe, the bar opened for a short while and there was a meal available. From about 4 am - 9 am the Ferry was very quiet and I was easily able to sleep in a comfy sofa in the bar area, it was a real bonus to have a cooked breakfast before disembarking. The return trip was just as easy and enjoyable. We traveled during the day this time and I had my husband with me for company. The free tea and coffee is a great touch as the all inlcusive food was delicious, real home cooking! The night before we stayed in a great beachside campsite (North Beach in Rush) about 25 minutes from Dublin Ferry Port. I would thoroughly recommend P&O Irish Seas as a good way to travel between England and Ireland.

"Great service"

First of all, this is not a cruise liner. It is a ferry carrying mainly commercial vehicles - no gift shops where the kids can pressure you into buying stuff you don't need. That said, it was perfect for us. Breakfast and a main meal at around 3.30pm were included in the fare, and the food was very tasty. Every member of the crew was polite and helpful. We hired a two-berth inside cabin for £15 and it was money well spent. So we arrived in Dublin refreshed, relaxed and well fed. This is a no frills service, but that's how we like it.

Liverpool - Dublin and back with P.& O. ferries is a great start to the holiday. Have used this route twice now - this year and last - and can't wait to "cross the sea to Ireland" again.....It takes 8 hours, but as long as you're not the seasick sort, it's day to relax, read, watch tv or possibly a film, enjoy the sea air - and the two good meals served during the course of the "voyage".....especially the breakfast served first thing (and JUST the thing after an early start!) The service was punctual, the ship quiet and the staff courteous. A great trip I'd recommend...............

This service is great because instead of all that wasted, boring time travelling by ferry in the day it takes you there through the night while you are tucked up fast asleep in your en suite cabin. Just as important, in the price there is a nice dinner waiting for you when you board and a breakfast before you disembark bright and early at 6.00 am ready to face your Ireland experience. Outbound and inbound were spot on time.

"Pleasant and Orderly."

It was the first time we have used this crossing and we would definitely do it again. The onboard free catering was excellent; the whole ship was very clean and the staff were efficient, capable and friendly with superb customer skills. Although a long crossing, we made it a relaxing part of the holiday. Facilities such as shops and bars are minimal, but they were more than adequate for our needs. This is possibly not the right crossing for those on a tight schedule after dis-embarking because the departure was late for both crossings - for us, this added to the relaxed and laid back atmosphere. It was a refreshing change not to have so much commercialism and frenzied activity on board. I cannot praise the staff highly enough for their appearance, politeness and quiet but helpful and efficient attitude.

"Liverpool/Dublin/Liverpool - P & O Ferry so civilised"

There is something wonderful about boarding a boat where an English breakfast and later a three course meal as well as coffee, tea, juice and water are provided without having to pay a penny. Meals are included in the fare. The dinner choices are very good. I choose this crossing rather than the Holyhead route because everything is so easy and pleasant. The staff are especially helpful and lovely, thus creating an easy going ambiance with an 'at home' feeling. I sometimes get a berth during the day crossing so I can relax and read and even doze but the lounge area is friendly warm and comfortable with TV, free coffee tea etc. The berth facilities are very good with en-suite and I am one happy customer. The crossing takes eight hours. No Internet or phone signal out at sea. No foot passengers allowed. Mostly lorries. TV lounges and 2 dining rooms and an open deck to enjoy the fresh air. Boarding and embarking is easy and efficient both ends. Ferry terminal in Dublin is conveniently next to the 02 centre. The crossing for me is the unwinding before reaching Dublin or returning home after my stay there.

"Food for thought"

I was going to Lisburn from Sheffield and chose Liverpool to Dublin as it saved the longer trips to Holyhead or Stranraer. I thought the price was a bit expensive, but tried to feed in the saving in petrol. And of course we had a cabin on the way over. What I didn't factor in and wasn't really advertised is that you are fed. As soon as we got on at Liverpool in the evening you had a meal and breakfast at 4.30 am. The cabin was lovely even the shower, toilets were very clean. Lounges very comfy and food plentiful. Staff service was excellent, quite a few Malaysian/Philipine staff. On the way back I wasn't looking forward to 8 hours day sailing but it was very relaxing, tv to watch and the upstairs reclining lounge very easy to sleep in. I would certainly chose the 5 am arrival in Dublin crossing for the summer when it would be daylight. Very impressed with P&O, seem to be mainly lorry traffic but a good experience.

The food on the boats (breakfast & tea) was very good with plenty of options, the cabins were clean, the wife and I was on a motorcycle (last on but 1st off the boats) the only niggle was the way they strapped the bike down and where it was parked, on the return trip the bike was just off central on the boat and when we were docking i noticed an artic-wagon trailer had gone over the strap which put more pressure on the stand/seat (not happy)so my advise is to ask the crew to park one side of the boat or out of the way of wagons if going by bike.apart from that very pleased with both crossings always tea or coffee available

"A terrific way to cross the Irish Sea"

Going on our recent holiday - late June 2013 - to Yorkshire, we decided to travel P & O Ferries to Liverpool. As the crossing is 7 / 8 hours, we opted to take the Night Boat i.e. leaving Dublin Port @ 9.30pm on June 20 and returning from Liverpool 9pm July 2. It was perfect. We felt (I always do, I adore boat travel) that our holiday started when we boarded our boat. We were, on the outward journey, 1 of just 10 cars as these evidently are crossings that suit truckers. On the way back, there were 6 cars. Food was included in our ticket so we sat, had some cheese, crackers and wine as we watched the boat pull out. We had a lovely berth, with a window, and had a really good night's sleep, ready to awaken, take a light breakfast at 5am and take to the road at 6am. It was marvellous. Our travelling companions were very pleasant, staff really lovely and very helpful and friendly. Altogether a very, very good experience. Will certainly travel this route again. Thank You!

We sailed from Liverpool to Dublin on the Norbank. A very basic ship limited room to walk outside and very poor seating area for long journeys. on the return journey we sailed in the endeavour. A spectacular ship. Great outdoor walking area to stretch your legs. Recliner seats and TV with small cinema to keep occupied on long journeys. Great food on both journeys and staff were friendly and helpful.

"Great trip"

We had a great trip. Dinner was lovely, cabin clean and comfortable and breakfast was also included. A good way to cross that also includes a nights accommodation.

"Good crossings"

Absolutely no problems at all. Staff helpful, all well organised. Hiring a cabin made the crossing very comfortable and is a good price. Food was unexpected but good too. Ferry and Port Staff could not have been more helpful my car wouldn't start on arrival in Dublin. I would definitely use this ferry again.

"irish visit"

Both sailings were excellent and i had a fairly good sleep was achieved leaving me refreshed for the 2 hour drive to Galway. Wish cars could be loaded earlier rather than last which means you have a long wait at the terminal. There is not much there so take things to do.

"First Irish Trip"

Found the service to be well organised and surprising as we did not realise the fare included food we found the cabins to be basic but comfortable. The food choices was limited but of a good quality and hot. Staff were very cheerful and helpful. Will recommend to family and friends, I have booked our return journey with you.

"Ferry Crossing"

Brilliant Service, was surprised to discover our meals where included in the price and had a wonderful cooked breakfast and three course dinner on board. cabins spotless and comfortable on the Norbank (To Liverpool). On our return we had seats only but could not fault the view from the European Endeavour as the seating overlooked the front on the ferry. The only thing i could find fault with, is during the sailing there is no where to get a cup of tea ect, i feel it would be perfect if there was a vending machine. I am due to return to the UK in a few weeks and i would not hesitate but to book with P&O.

"A very pleasant journey"

Staff on this route were extremely friendly and helpful. The experience overall was excellent and I would highly recommend taking the liverpool to dublin route by car. Breakfast and Dinner were provided as part of the fare. The cooking was very good quality and I only wish foot passengers were allowed on this route as it takes out so much inconvenience to the alternative travelling through Holyhead.

""Across the sea to Ireland..............""

Pretty choppy sea going, fair coming back. A long day's crossing, but a good breakfast was served as we boarded - and another meal before we docked. Out of season, there were few passengers, so the boat seemed spacious - though many might have been tucked away in their cabins. As it was a day crossing I decided not to take one, but might do so another time. Yes, I hope there'll be another time. Have just discovered some new favourite places.

"Enjoyable trip to Ireland with P & O"

Our recent return journey between Liverpool and Dublin with P&O Ferries was an excellent experience. Conditions on board were fine with clean cabins and fine food provided by the friendly staff. My only disappointment was that free coffee was no longer available between meal times, but otherwise the trip went smoothly and pleasantly. I recently recommended this particular way of getting to Ireland to one of my friends.

"Recent trip to Ireland"

Though accommodation is basic, we were very glad to have proper beds and not bunks. Everything was nice and clean in the cabin and the beds were comfortable. Food was copious and there was plenty of choice. The staff are also very pleasant on the Norbank, far better than on the European Endeavour!(Though not everyone on the EE was unfriendly)The only thing we found difficult was the 1 and a half hour wait to drive onto the ship, which had been delayed by shipping on the Mersey before it came to Dublin - no fault of yours but tedious just the same. We would definitely choose the Norbank in preference to the other ship next time.

"Every Cloud............."

Ferry delayed due to bad weather so I was given a very nice outside cabin, by way of compensation I suppose. This made the 8hr trip much more bearable. We were given a late breakfast but then all facilities closed for a good while. Would have liked some tea/ coffee facilities. Overall, not bad at all - at least I didn't have the long drive to Holyhead!

"ferry crossing"

was impressed with the food on both ships but my only regret was there was no Wi-Fi on board which I think was old fashioned in this day and age, for a journey this long must be looked at. But I was impressed with everything else, will use this transport again.

"Excellant Journey."

We had a long and tough week in England and needed to get back home. The weather was stormy, but we still decided to book this sailing. We found it very plesent and the sailing was not rough or bumpy. There was a young cabin crew (waiter) on board who we would like to thank very much for his pleasent and kind manner. Unfortunately we did not get his name. We will definetely be traveling on this boat again in the near future and have recommended to our family and friends.
