"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.

Booking the trip was very easy and as long as you don't mind a no nonsense sailing with lots of trucks the ferry is fine (evening meal and breakfast were great) but when P&O cancelled the return sailing Direct Ferries were hopeless, I had to phone P&O directly to fix the problem, they were very helpful.

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.

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.

Booked the crossing from Liverpool to Dublin as it was the shortage trip by road to connect to the ferry. The whole process of been booked in and loaded on board went very smoothly. We booked a cabin for both trips. The accommodation was clean and we were informed of all details about the trip across the Irish Sea. The meal selection was plentiful and varied with hot drinks available throughout the crossing. We will definitely use this crossing again as we felt refreshed and completed the onward journey with ease. The crew were friendly and helpful

"My experience on P and O Ferry on August 10 sailing Liverpool to Dublin."

My trip was spoiled by the behaviour of the staff member assisting with the cars getting on to the Ferry. One operative was rude and demonstrated very aggressive behaviour shouting at me when instructing on reversing. I acknowledge that I was slow as my reversing camara was showing how to proceed whilst he was yelling at me to turn the steering this way and that. I know a raised voice was necessary but he then reached into the car in front of my body and started pulling on the steering wheel an action which I found intrusive and frightening in this COVID time. I believe he would not have done this to a male passenger. All other staff were very helpful.

"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 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).

"P&O ferries dublin/ Liverpool return "

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.

Friendly staff , efficient embarking / disembarking Fantastic food, clean . Downside. Seating not ideal for an 8hr trip so maybe a cabin nextime. On deck seating nil. But it's not a cruise. Overall very happy with the trip and service.

"A hidden gem"

If you are not in a hurry then taking the 8 hour trip from Liverpool to Dublin is a great way to start your holiday. They also include a free (very good) breakfast and a substantial dinner before you disembark. Please note tho if you are towing a caravan not for the faint hearted as you have to back it onto the ferry, but there is plenty of help so not too difficult.

"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.

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.

"Vulnerable passenger access issues - disgraceful "

As we checked in to travel ( myself and an 81 year old aunt with a bad legs and a heart problem) , we were informed the passenger ferry was not running and we were travelling on a freight ferry with NO LIFTS and very limited facilities!! No pre warning and no ability to change with zero notice as we were travelling to a funeral. Disgraceful - no disabled access and no potential to amend journey as given NO a prior warning. I will say the onboard staff were excellent at trying to get some assisted access enabled by letting me drive up additional levels within the ferry when we were disembarking . However, even with that my aunt still had to try and go down stairs that are effectively like a metal ladder.

"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

The crossings are pleasant, time passes slowly if you stay in the lounge as there are not many window seats (padded), chairs can become “hard” after a few hours. We had a cabin on the return, well worth the extra😊. The food is good, breakfast especially. The evening meal has three choices, so something for everyone. It’s tasty and well presented. The staff on the boat are friendly and helpful. Remembering that this is mostly a freight ferry, it caters for the passengers fairly well.

"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.

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.

"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

It took us about forty five minutes, including taxicab drivers instructions, Dock staff to finally find it. We were fraught with anxiety on arrival at our 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.

It's a basic style ship, more for freight but it is fine. Dinner, breakfast and cabin are included in the night crossing. The cabin is again functional with an ensuite. Plenty of hot water and good white linen. Absolutely fine. Meals again are adequate. Friendly and helpful staff. All went well embarking and disembarking

Sailing from Liverpool to Dublin was flawless. Friendly welcome on board, informed of mealtimes and given key for our cabin which was spotless. Breakfast and evening meal meal were tasty with plenty of choice. Free hot drinks available throughout trip. Return trip was not so good,toilets out of use so had to use cabin, no bacon for breakfast and orange/apple juice machine not working.

"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

"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

"Shocking service and awful customer service"

Initially i paid £180 for one way crossing from Liverpool to Dublin. The fare price included myself and wife with a two berth cabin. A few days later i went to amend the crossing adding my son and another cabin. The two amendment costs amounted to £45. On getting the booking update i realised there 3 passengers but no cabins included. After phoning customer services three times - each time spending 45 minutes in the queue - i was advised i would need to pay again to add the cabins back on!!!! I explained there was an error with the system and was advised there was no they or P&O could do the remedy matters without me paying additional fees. Basically i fobbed off with nonsense and promised a call back which of course never happened. My strong advice is never to use Direct Ferries. They simply are not professional and extremly unhelpful. PS* didnt help and most likely would never help.

"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.

I paid for a flexible ticket I tried to change my travel day for a day earlier which I know was the same price yet they tried to charge me another £80 which is daylight robbery. P&O Ireland ferry is or should be budget the cabins are basic, no WiFi for a 8 hour crossing is ridiculous in this day and age. The staff however are brilliant they are very professional in their work that is the staff on the ferry. The staff at direct ferries need a serious course in customer care they are rude and ubrupt I will in future try use some one else or go direct with the liner. On this trip we where delayed by two and half hours not really good standing if you have to be at work.

Totally satisfied with the sail from Liverpool to Dublin and the sail back two weeks later. After driving to the ferry the breakfast that comes with the ticket was well appreciated. A delicious full English breakfast served by polite cheerful staff. At the end of the sail a full dinner that equals the breakfast. Very well received and so good not to have to find something to eat after leaving the ferry. Great service !!!

The food was just perfect eat as much as you like and it's always a delight then check into your cabin for a sleep. But the only the thing I find very disappointing is the sign layout for the ferry at Dublin port it seriously needs to be signed better than it is. This needs to be addressed very urgent.

"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.

"Good Service at Reasonable Price but....."

My wife and I have travelled this route an number of times and find it to be efficient as it meets our needs in travelling to Ireland. However, recently it seems to be the policy that a request to vacate cabins is made one hour before arrival. My wife has a disability which is why we always book a cabin on every crossing. Having to move her out, often while the ship is still moving, causes extra difficulty. I understand the need to prepare the cabins for the next crossing but this didn't seem a problem in previous years. Perhaps P & O have cut back on staffing to make savings and this is the reason. If so, it has resulted in a reduction in customer service.

From start to finish this was a flawless service. The ship was on time (both ways) and the crossing made with the minimum of fuss.

I'd like the quiet in the bedroom area rules enforced more as tthere was a lot of noise as we tried to sleep due to the arrival in Liverpool and the need to drive home afterwards.

I was unable to use my booking having suffered a serious RTA I have been trying to contact customer services by phone and email for over 4 weeks ,to date I have had no response . The telephone is never answered , just as a stupid message telling me the lines are busy and to send an email then it gives an incorrect address which excludes the dot between customer and services. 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 . Having worked for a P&O company I cannot believe that they would find your level of customer service acceptable .In future I will only book with P&O directly.

"Thanks"

We enjoyed our recent journeys to and from Dublin to Liverpool. Accommodation on the European Endeavour is more comfortable than on the Norbay, with better lounges and public areas. It was also much easier, as a car driver, to park on board. The journeys are, of course, long (made more so by the lock gates in Liverpool) so plenty of reading material is necessary. A chance to relax and catch up! All the P&O staff we met on board and in the terminals were charming and helpful. Some suggestions: - much better road and street signage at both ports. It really is difficult to find one's way through the dock areas inside and outside the port areas. - clarity about restaurant opening times and facilities on board AND on the web site etc. - longer opening times for the on board shop and information desk. - forewarning that car drivers might have to reverse their vehicles for long distances in a confined space. - improvement to the clarity of on board PA announcements. - soap in cabins!

"Trip to Mayo"

Amazing ship...staff fantastic. Omg what an horrendous nights sleep. We had an accessible cabin for no other reason than there were two of us. It was awful. For one I'm glad I wasn't disabled ( I have plenty of experience in this field) and for two, it was the noisest 'quiet' place on Earth at that time ( a whole 5 hours). There was a continous rattling as well as the engine moise which was off and on. We discovered, at 5.45am ,when we had been tannoyed to 'get up', that it was indeed the tannoy systems' speaker that rattled for the whole night. We thought it was the shutter on the window, as "what else was metal and could rattle such a lot"? Hmm? I wonder? Dreadful. I then had a 4 hr drive which i didnt manage as i had to stop to sleep. We were 3 hrs late for our solicitor appointment. I'm glad you asked as was going to complain anyway. Btw: p &o on the way back were fantastic. Will go with them again. Got 3 hrs (in a row) sleep! Woohoo!

"I will NEVER book via Direct Ferries again"

Lack of directions to Terminal 3 extension - Direct ferries should have emphasised Terminal 3 is an extension and not anywhere near Dublin port. I missed my ferry despite getting to Dublin Port an hour before departure time. The road signs should have been changed from Dublin Port to Dublin Port T1 T2. I got stuck in between the long queue of Trucks in T1 T2 area thinking T3 was close by. There should be directions to T3 in between the long queues to T1 T2. Direct ferries was unsympathetic and charged me extra £409 to get on the afternoon ferry. The ship is fine but not the Agent.

Very pleasant trip, staff and crew were very friendly and helpful. Cabin basic but clean, fit for purpose. Food was absolutely fine. The walk along the bottom deck to collect my bike when docking was a bit disconcerting as it is very tight between trucks as you pass through. You are very much placing your confidence in the deck hands who secure the trucks! Overall a positive experience on board.

"Great budget service"

We took a return journey from Liverpool to Dublin on the Norbank and Norbay ferries. It was my Wife and I and our 2 young kids. The service was bang on time, the cabins were clean and the complimentary buffet breakfast and dinner was excellent. High chairs were provided at meal times and the staff were very friendly and helpful. 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.

The only two things i could say is that where was accidentally a hair on my egg- definitely not from me, which was a shame because the food was lovely, and the second thing-and this isnt something you can really do anything about- a passenger sprayed lots and lots of cologne and it saturated the air in all public areas and caused me to have bad asthma at the end of the trip, but as I say that isnt your fault. The cabin was clean and the staff as always were fantastic from check in to exit, they really are a credit to you. Thank you for a safe and pleasant 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.

"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!!!!

"Dublin to Liverpool journey"

Hi there, first of all I would like to say the staff where very pleasant and helpful! I was extremely disappointed in the facilities of the boat, literally one room that’s it. There wasn’t even WiFi which was a massive disappointment, I was told there would be a cinema, shops, different places to eat because it was an 8 hour ferry. I’ve had amazing facilities on 2-3 hour ferry crossings so really expected it on this. I decided to pay for a room because of this which I was happy with was clean and tidy so well done to the cleaners!

"Our Irish Ferry Experience"

While visiting the UK recently we decided to travel to Ireland for a look around, after taking all the options into account re fly and hire a car, travel as a walk on and hire a car or take the hire car over with us we decided on the last option. I then researched the ferry options, time was not a major priority for us so a 2 hours trip as compared to a 8 hour trip was of little importance, we decided on the 8 hour trip and regarded it as a mini cruise and the price was very competitive. The trip was great as an added bonus a 2 berth cabin was included in the price as were the 2 meals. The meals while are basic they are very delicious and plentiful, the cabin facilities very good particularly the mattress. We had a shower before our arrival so we were rested,fed and showered ready for our next phase of our touring holiday I highly recommend the P&O ferry service from Liverpool to Dublin and back again, think of it as a mini cruise and you can't go wrong Cheers Joe and Di Ryan

"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.

I was told at checkin that I was not allowed to use the small travel rug I was carrying on board, apparently it was "bedding ". Food is included in the ticket, but as I get seasick very easily, food was the last thing on my mind. I did enjoy the free coffee.

"Crappy indifferent unhelpful company. Do not book with them"

Booked return to Dublin with Piss U Off ferries. I was 2 minutes (120 seconds!) late for the return 8 hour ferry crossing that was still loading for an 8,00 am sailing. I could see it through the locked fence sitting on my motorcycle, it was still loading and did not leave on time. The two jobsworths on the gate seemed to take personal pleasure in assuring me that I could not be loaded affording them the illusion of importance no doubt. Upon my strong insistence they were reluctantly pressed to phone the loading officer on the ship, who apparently confirmed that it was not possible to load my motorcycle even though I offered to tie it down myself. The next ferry crossing sailed at 2.00pm for another 8 hour crossing. In the end I had to book and pay Irish Ferries 89 euros for a one way crossing to another less convienient UK post, Hollyhead. I will in future never sail P&O ferries again unless it is a last resort and encourage all of my friends and family to do likewise. I will post this experience on the many motorcycling blogs and groups that I am active on.

"Excellent crossings Brilliant food"

We booked a room, had good rest during both crossings. It was a surprised that meals were inclusive. Both breakfast and high tea were brilliant. Hot drinks were freely available during the crossings. Will definitly do the same crossing again.

"Very mixed bag"

Our return journey was great. I was travelling with two young children and we were given a complimentary cabin because bad weather was expected (which, thankfully, didn't materialise). Having breakfast and a late lunch/early dinner included in the price was an unexpected bonus and, as this particular crossing is mainly for freight, the passenger area is quite small but not in the least bit overcrowded. I wasn't looking forward to spending eight hours in a confined space with bored children but it was a remarkably pleasant journey, especially given the horror of the outbound fiasco. Our outbound trip was overnight on a 3 a.m. sailing. Setting off at that time, all I wanted to do was settle the children and grab some sleep myself. It wasn't to be. Firstly, after checking in in the port, we then had to queue on the ferry to check in again, mainly for the benefit of passengers who had booked a cabin. At that time of night with fractious children it was a nightmare and I can see no reason why this couldn't be done before boarding when everyone is just waiting around anyway: there were facilities available in the port lounge. We also seem to have been punished for turning up a little early by being the last to board and thus were also at the back of the queue for the on-board check-in. If the presence of children can be taken into account on a day journey, why not at night? Secondly, I had opted for reclining seats rather than a cabin. Big mistake. The recliners didn't recline; the room was freezing cold; and no blankets were provided. Fortunately I'd brought a blanket from the car at the last minute so I was able to keep the children warmish but I had no sleep at all. Not good when I had a two hour drive ahead of me. Thirdly, under those conditions everyone is awake and up early (and probably would be anyway) but no food was available until 09:30! We effectively had to wait over two hours for breakfast with only some disgusting, processed 'fruit' juice to keep the boys going. When it did arrive, the food and choice was pretty good. Shame about the sullen staff. I was seriously considering cancelling my return booking and taking my chances on another route, but I couldn't really justify the extra expense. A letter of complaint has been sent to P&O.

"Decent service Liverpool to Dublin."

Sailed with my 15yr old son and Border Collie on the 2100 Liverpool Dublin crossing. Easy to find the P&O Terminal as well signed off M58 and A5036. Dog spent crossing on bed in our campervan. She's well travelled. No problems. Mostly heavy goods traffic on way out. 2berth cabin is compulsory on this crossing/comes as part of the deal. I had selected an 'outside cabin' so you have a window. Ship sailed on time, it's slow out of Gladstone Dock due to the locking system but this doesn't affect the crossing time.Also makes it an interesting departure if you like ships and the sea ( I do , was in the MN for 6 years many moons ago so love it) Meal provided as you leave port (can't remember what it was that evening but there's also breakfast too) Served at the ungodly hour of 4.30am when the crew-member gives you a knock. The ship is alongside in Dublin almost by this time, so if you want to eat and drink as much as you want prior to disembarking then it's a good idea to be up sharpish. We were stuffing bacon butties down us and having a coffee when the call to go to the vehicle deck was made. Quickly re-united with van and dog and also quickly disembaked and off into the Dublin morning. Return leg. Came back on the 0900 from Dublin. It's quite a long day 7.5-8hrs crossing. If you can afford it and don't want to spend the day with other people in the dining room or bar( there aren't any specific 'sitting' or 'quiet' lounges) then I'd suggest paying the extra 17 euros for an 'inside' cabin or 20 euros for an outside'cabin so that you can have a peaceful and quite place to be. My son and I both got our heads down and slept at sometime during the day. Breakfast served as you leave Dublin and then a good 'dinner' at around 4.15pm. Alongside in Liverpool at 5pm. Bit slow getting off, was about 5.30pm but this not due to any failing on crews part. The crew. Polite, efficient ,friendly throughout. The food. Well, not 5 star but decent, hot, tasty and a number of choices. Also as much as you want, free tea/coffee/fruit juice throughout the journeys. Nice that you don't have to think about paying extra for food, nor be packing sandwiches etc. Cabin: clean, tidy, two-berth, comfy beds and warm bedding. En-suite efficient hot shower, wash basin and wc. Towels provided. Enjoyable trip. It is more expensive on the night crossing but personally I prefer it and if you mget your head down by say 2230hrs then you've had 6 hrs sleep when you get in to Dublin. But remember to get a move on if you want to enjoy a big breakfast. For me a couple of hot drinks and a bacon bun was enough!

"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.

"Ferry trip"

Our ferry was on the 29th July at 3am. It was delayed by 5 hours. The trip was long and tiring. The recliners were broken and in need of a refurb. The food wasn't very nice. We had fish and chips on our return trip 5th august and the fish was inedible. We got a cabin on our return trip which was good value and very comfortable. All in all there didn't seem to be any urgency in sailing on our departure. We were told a couple of hours. 5 was ridiculous.

"Very comfortable trip"

This was our first time to use a ferry with our own vehicle, and it was made very easy by staff both onshore and on the ship. Cabin with ensuite shower-room was comfortable enough, although it was a bit disconcerting to find bunk beds in what was classed as disabled cabin - should be made clearer on booking process. We ate in the coffee lounge on departing and in main restaurant on arriving - both meals adequate but a bit disappointing that coffee lounge coffee maker was broken. Thoroughly enjoyed the cinema showing (Sully). Ship was not too busy so plenty of room to move around and relax. Would especially recommend the experience against the hassle of flying.

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

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

The quote I obtained from Direct Ferries on this particular route was very competitive and the booking process was straight forward. The ferry was fairly basic but it was only a two hour crossing so no problem. Crowded going out due to three of four coach parties which for the size of the boat meant seating was at a premium, but very quiet on return leg. Overall a good trip and would recommend Direct Ferries and the P and O route from Cairnryan to Larne.

I have travelled on the Endeavour on several occasions and always found it too be very comfortable with friendly helpful crew and ancillary staff. food always good and accommodation likewise. Thank you. On this recent occasion I did the return trip on the Norbay, whilst the ship crew and staff were every bit as helpful and friendly I thought this ship was a little smaller than the Endeavour whilst still as comfortable the facilities were limited for sleeping but one could get a cabin if one choose, personally I prefer to see where I am going whilst seated but the Norbay limits this activity but on the whole, very good trip either way both outward and return thank you, I will return to the ferry's as it is my preferred way of travel.

"To Cross or not?"

We traveled overnight on the 23rd Dec with the threat of a storm on its way. We were so thankful the ferry was not cancelled as we were excited to see family. We were glad we had a cabin, so after a good meal we could lie down for the night.

"Problenm with Direct Ferries bookings"

Our problem is with Direct Ferries - on arrival at check-in for our departure we were told by P&O staff that there was a problem with our booking through Direct Ferries. The return trip was booked by Direct Ferries on a boat that was actually in dry dock and would be for the foreseeable furture - a complete error by Direct Ferrries in confirming this booking. However I cannot fault the assistance we got from P&O Staff in sorting - they were as helpful as could be and did their upmost to accomodate us for a suitable return. We were unable to get a return on the original date planned and had to stay over for an extra 24hrs - this causerd quiet a few complicatons with schedules/return to work etc. and the cost of extending our stay in UK for the period. P&O were very apologetic and gave us free cabins on both trips but this was little compensation for the error made by Direct Ferries which resulted in us being very stressed and put to extra financial expense and also having to re-schedule return to work which cost us an extra days unpaid leave. Also I understand from P&O Staff that Direct ferries were made aware of this error by P&O and we have had no communication or apology from them only this e-mail to write a review. As this stage I have no intention of ever using Direct Ferries agin or receommeding them to anyone but I will certainly endeavour to support P&O Ferries. The ship and the P&O Staff were excellent.

"Liverpool to Dublin Ferry Crossing"

Both boats were clean and comfortable, Norbay looking a bit rough now, but all fine inside. Food was generally good apart from the second feed on the way back from Dublin, (Sunday 13th Nov Arrival in Liverpool 1am). We got fish and chips and it was atrocious, cold, greasy, bland, very disappointing after a cracking feed on embarking in Dublin. My main issue with this route is finding the departure points if you haven't been before, especially from Liverpool. I had to call P&O for a postcode to put in the Satnav, very poor signage on the English side. Very friendly staff, efficient loading/unloading, quite a relaxing trip once we found the thing, shame about the grub on the Sunday night.

"A very positive experience."

We boarded in Liverpool on the Norbay at 9:30AM on a Tuesday morning. The boarding procedures went very smoothly and shortly afterwards we enjoyed a lovely buffet breakfast. There were few people on board and the sailing was very quiet. We could have taken a cabin for a reasonable price but opted not to and stayed in the salon reading and watching TV. About 45 minutes before our arrival in Dublin we had a buffet dinner which was very enjoyable. The total crossing time was about 8 hours. It took quite a while to get off the ferry (almost one hour) and that was the only criticism I'd have. Overall, I very positive experience that I'd like to do again.

Overall our experience as good however one major minus point is that although you say the ferry goes from "Liverpool Docks" this is not so, actually the sailing is from Bootle and you gave no postcode in your confirmation so we had to phone to find out where we should go to check in. Fortunately we had allowed enough time for error and were not late. Plus point - 'free' meals.

"NORBAY"

Staff not overly friendly. I had to return to my vehicle to turn the alarm off and the uniformed receptionist was very arrogant and abrupt. We were travelling with a baby. No help offered to get up the stairs with a push chair. One of the coffee machines was broken for the entire trip so drinks were not limitless as they stated they would be. The orange juice and milk machines are also turned off outside of meal times. The chefs were a bit tight with the quantity of food. I over heard one chef chastise a customer for having two more potatoes than he should have had and stating that his boss would kill him if he allowed too much food to be put on a plate. (shocking). The customer actually handed his plate to the chef and the chef took the potatoes BACK!!! For the money you pay for these tickets I would have expected more food and manners. Some staff were friendly but you only remember the rude ones. The European Endeavour on the outgoing trip was much better.

Direct Ferries with P&O is definately the best and cheapest way to cross to Ireland. I have been travelling to Ireland for 30+ years, I used to take the Holyhead route but now use the Liverpool to Dublin route and arrive fully refreshed to begin my drive across to the west of Ireland,Carrick on Shannon for my fishing,friends and of course Guinness !! I would recommend DF to anyone,the price is good the food is good(included in the price by the way) comfortable and friendly service all adds to your trip or holiday to Ireland. I will use DF/P&O every time I travel, Thanks and see you again soon, Alan Payne Northamptonshire,

"Very pleased"

Checked in at 01:30. Friendly guy at checkin. A short time later we had the car parked on the car deck. Went to reception got our cabin keys. Cabin is basic but clean and functional. If you intend to take a mobile phone charger or something similar then make sure you have a travel adapter as there is only a 2 pin plug in the cabins. We then went to the dining area and had a meal (included in price of ticket) then back to the cabin and into bed for a sleep. Awoke later, showered and went for breakfast ( again free) Coffee tea fruit juice and chilled water are available free for the duration of the journey. All in all very pleased with the experience. I have seen some reviews claiming that this service is below expectations. My reply is that if you want a cruise ship then book a cruise ship. This is a freight ferry that carries some cars and overall we were very satisfied with our experience. We will definately sail on the European Endeavor and the Norbay again. We would strongly recommend P&O's services between Liverpool and Dublin. Even a friendly wave from a crew member as we drove off.

And free refreshments. It's a freight ship, so it's a slow crossing, but,,,,, The admin team who I called to make changes to details were excellent too, even re sending the confirmations to another email address as mine changed in the mean time.

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.

"Excellent trip all round"

We travelled on daytime sailings, and the experience could not have been bettered on either journey. Booking-in was easy and friendly. Loading was quick. The food and service were cooked and presented to an exellent standard. The cabins were quite large and contained everything we needed for a sleep and shower etc. Unloading was again acheived qucikly and without fuss. Overall, a very pleasant experience. We would definitely recommend this route to Ireland.

"Journey from Liverpool to Dublin & return journey"

This was the cheapest ferry to Ireland. Staff were very friendly & helpful. The fact that you get breakfast and dinner etc as part of the price is fantastic!! Big bonus. The ferry left an hour late from Liverpool, but we were in no rush once we got to Dublin. Food was fab!! On the return journey we had breakfast at 9am & at 16:00 we had a choice of 3 main meals & pudding, fab! It's a basic ship as mainly used for freight, and so not much choice of areas to sit. However, on the return journey we had to be up at 4am to miss Dublin rush hour for 9am ferry, we were wrecked. So, I went to the reception and saw you could get an en-suite double berth room with window for only £20, best money spent. We were able to go to sleep for a few hours, read, have a shower and it was lovely & clean. I will definitely use this route again, best value all round.

"My Norbay/Norbank trip"

Once again, everything was perfect. I travel this route several times a year with my wife and our dog, and it's the way our dog is taken into consideration by the crew and the handlers that keeps us coming back. 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!

"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.

Overall very good service on the ferry. However at both ends- liverpool and Dublin- the P&O port was very difficult to find -not well sign- posted and not enough info at booking stage. This meant that the beginning of both journeys was very stressful as we tried to find the place and we're late both times. Thankfully we didn't miss the boat.

We went on a different ship than advertised because the usual one was in dry dock for regular maintenance. However, that was not a problem. We came back in the fast ferry which was slightly late in docking. We sat in the lounge at the rear of the ship which was very comfortable. My one suggestion would be: Please turn off the canned "music". It was marked as a Quiet Area.

But it cuts out the driving across wales to holyhead.and it depends on where you are travelling if ony Dublin then go to Holyhead but if a lot further like us a rest driving before another long drive it helps .we have a cabin and a sleep before carring on .we enjoyed the journey.we have travelled twice with you now and would not go back to the journey we have taken for the last 20 odd years.

"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.

"Liverpool to Dublin good... Dublin to Liverpool painful!!"

Not having made this trip before I wasn't aware of the seating arrangements for the return trip. Outgoing ship European Endeavour clean,well equipped with reclining seats and couches so you could sleep comfortably. Clean pillows and bedding available if required.Unfortunately the return trip was during the day and I hadn't booked a cabin (highly recommended) The seating was sparse and mostly taken over by selfish people who took up the whole of one couch for themselves leaving us , and others, having to sleep in hard upright chairs. I even saw some sleeping on the floor! No bedding available so a long, uncomfortable trip was had by us! Must say the food was extremely good (included in the price) and MOST staff very helpful and pleasant. Shame one family on the return trip decided to spoil it for many others with dispruptive children who also took far too much food and ended up throwing most of it away untouched. Apart from that not too much to fault.

"This is our favourite Crossing!"

This was the third crossing we have made with P&O, and we continue to be very pleased with all aspects of the service. It would be more convenient for us to travel to Belfast. but, being Pensioners, the prices Stena Line are charging are just ridiculous, and you don`t get inclusive meals or refreshments! It takes 1hr 20mins to drive from Dublin to our destination, but that is a pleasure on the Irish motorway, even though there are two small Toll charges. So P&O win hands down on every count!

A very satisfied customer, however the facilities on board are a little tired with not enough seating space/relaxing space and would recommend taking a cabin to relax even on a day crossing. Had assumed there would be pullman seating but not so, however the cabin was basic and comfortable. Tea/coffee/water available during the crossing and food appeared to be enjoyed by the passengers. Wasn't hungry so just had light meal, however most passengers appeared to clear their plates. Staff were quick to clear up after food service was finished.

Well done and congratulations on a great service. I will be travelling with P.O. everytime I travel to Ireland. I have recommended all my friends to contact Directferries if they want choice, value and a wonderful experience.

"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.

"Excellent service"

The service we received from booking the travel to returning back home was excellent. On both the outward and inward journey the boat sailed and arrived on time. The cabins were clean. The food was good but most of all the the staff on the reception desk and dining area were very friendly and pleasant. I would certainly travel with P & O on this route again. The only negative comment I would make is that the announcements which were made when we were in the dining room which I assume were in case of emergency were unclear in terms of quality of sound. Thank you.

"3rd crossing"

This was my 3rd crossing between Dublin and Liverpool with P&O and each one has been impossible to find fault with. Staff are friendly and helpful, food is good and facilities are basic but good. I always rent a cabin and manage to sleep for half the journey, well worth the extra €€ for the comfort and convenience of being able to take a shower etc. I would definitely recommend P&O, great value for money when booked far enough in advance.

"Liverpool/Dublin"

Generally well content with facilities and service on both vessels. Cabins clean and comfortable if not luxurious. Would prefer food to be available during voyage; meals were served up to sailing time on departure and from about an hour before docking on arrival; this does cause a certain tension - will we get our food in time? (We did, as it happened, but the vessel was not full by any means. It should be remembered that these vessels are (it seems to me) primarily freight carriers - heavy lorries and the like - so do not expect cruise liner facilities. However, we would use this route again - it saves a long drive to Holyhead. Book a cabin- even during day-time journeys - you'll not regret it!

"A fine alternative"

What a nice surprise, nothing massive, but aside from a lot of lorries there were some tourists who had made the same decision: either an exhausting drive through North Wales or a relaxing 8 hour ferry journey to Liverpool and then the motorway through England. Besides the fact that it was the cheapest crossing from Dublin to England, we were welcomed with an full English breakfast in the monring and had an excellent hot meal before disembarking in the evening. All included in the price!

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.

"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.

"Good trip"

I don't think I was fully aware that the trip was on a freight ship! However since we are only an hour from Liverpool we decide we would try it, cos wanted to take my car over to Dublin. No point thinking that u can get on early so just turn up as advised. [we where on the 3am one] There where not many cars travelling, and it was interesting watching the freight going on the ship. Easy to drive on and off once they decide you could get on/off very quick as was check in. We also booked a cabin both ways did not want to try and sleep on recliners. Cabins are basic but clean,with a shower on-suite and we slept ok. [would not spend a whole day 7+ hrs travelling to Dublin this way night was better] Food is plenty-full and again reasonable quality bit weird eating at 2-30am!! but it is included in your fare. I would use again.

"Long weekend in Ireland"

This crossing is not the normal passenger journey. it is primarily a freight service that takes a few cars so set your expectations accordingly The ship is clean and functional without any of the trappings of the normal tourist ferries. The cabin accommodation is clean and comfortable. The food is included in the price of the crossing is basic and uninspiring but edible. The crossing time is long - about 8 hours and that is a mixed blessing. On the way out we caught the 21:00 ferry and were in Dublin fresh and ready to go at 7:00. It worked very well. Its not quite so convenient coming back the 15:00 ferry does not get you on terra firma until past midnight. Would I do it again - probably for the way out but I would think twice about the return trip. Both crossings were exceptional smooth but that was the luck of the weather. All in all happy with the service, the journey and the boat.

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

We travelled out to Dublin on the Norbay and back on European Endeavour. What a wonderful experience. Everyone was so friendly. BUT, the most amazing thing was the free meals. I was blown away by that. Of course, the weather did help. The weather out was heavy rain, but the sea was so calm. The journey back was amazing. What a sunset over the Irish Sea, what a crossing, I have never experienced anything like it. The view from the reclining seats was superb. Even the docks in Liverpool were exciting at mid-night.

"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!

I was able to drive on and off the ferry very easily. My wife and I didn't have to queue for too long. Checks were done quickly and in a friendly manner. The journey back to Larne went equally as smoothly. However, a member of staff who was tasked with guiding the cars onto the boat, began to shout and scream at some of the car drivers, possibly because they may not have heard him properly, with all the other noises going on. We know that this is a very stressful job, but we did not see any of his colleagues yelling as he did. However, this did not spoil our trip in any way, and we wish this member of staff well.

"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.

"Won't use this one again"

This is more for freight than passengers, so next time I'll pay the extra for a shorter trip to Holyhead.

"Dublin - Liverpool ferry"

Thge trip itself went very well; the food was acceptable; however, the ship facilities for anyone not taking a cabin were awful - no comfortable seats anywhere for such a long crossing.
