"Éen keer maar nooit meer."
Schande dat er na een lange autorit naar Frederikshaven na 12 uur aan boord niets te eten te koop is, belachelijk zo vindt het eigen personeel van DFDS Seaways ook. Op de terugweg een uur vertraging zonder enige melding aan de opvarenden, kortom dit is de eerste en de laatste keer dat we met DFDS Seaways varen.
"A me è piaciuto "
Ho viaggiato tra lunedì e martedì: nave pulita, cibo buono a abbondante, cabina da due usata da sola. Sono stata benissimo.
"Good and efficient way to travel from Denmark to Norway and vice versa. Excellent dinner."
Good and efficient way to travel from Denmark to Norway and vice versa. Excellent dinner.
"Copenhagen to Oslo "
It was good. Quality food, lot of things for entertainment, kids will be very happy for them on cruise play area, games are, bubble baths and evening games in evening or so on.
"FREE WIFI Not Avalible "
When booking there was adverts saying Free WIFI on the website, then I found I had to pay to use it on board. Other than that the trip was brilliant.
"Cruise or lose."
We have used the ferry and driven the roads. Ferry every time for us, with a nights bed for free. Nothing to complain about at all.
"Good ferry trip Oslo to Copenhagen "
Hi we used the DFDS ferry from Copenhagen to Oslo and returned four days later, found the ferries very clean with help staff, only a couple of comments to improve things which I found slightly disappointing, the on place to get a decent cup of tea was in the Seven seas buffet lounge which you can only access by either paying for the evening buffet or breakfast buffet, all other bars/restaurants have a good selection of fruit teas or earl gray but no normal type tea. None of the staff thought to access the Seven seas lounge and grab some normal tea bags. The other item was the limited menu in the little Italy restaurant both the steak restaurant and the Italian restaurant share the same kitchen area and when asked if they could do a side order of chips the said they were not available in the Italian restaurant even though several orders for chips passed our table into the stake restaurant. These are just small things but would have finished a great trip on the ferries.
"Nice ferry trip "
No waiting at port - straight on. Lovely cruise with plenty of bars live music and restaurants. Like a mini cruise.
"Superb!"
Great way to travel from Norway to Denmark. Couldn’t fault Direct Ferries in any way. Great value for money. Lovely cabin (loved having a window) super food, friendly staff and great shop on board. Would definitely recommend this over a flight if you can make time.
"Fantastic crossing but dangerous disembarkation."
We loved this overnight rip to Oslo. We were able to board just after lunch and so we walked straight through no hassle . Our cabin was the basic but had everything we needed for the one night. The ferry was full to the brim of Japanese travellers and a lot was catered towards them to suggest that this was a regular occurrence. The only two down falls were that we had to wait around for a table in the morning for breakfast despite getting there for 7am as it was heaving and the exiting of the ferry was horrendous as we came down the lift with our cases and it opened up into a huge crush foyer on the 5th deck where we couldn't turn back or forward and were trapped in a huge crush where myself and husband tried our best to protect out children from the crushing pressure if stupid tourists trying to push towards an exit that wasn't open saying 'in group, in group's as an excuse to crush you further. We live in Merseyside and this experience was harrowing. We have travelled on DFDS many times before from Britain and the exit has always there been a very orderly queue.
"Rubbish customer service "
We were downgraded when we arrived to check in. They didn’t offer us any compensation. The customer service was dreadful - our two young boys were really excited about the cabin we had booked with a window but we ended up with no view. I think if there is a need to downgrade then at the least there should be a offer of voucher to be used on board.
"Excellent Trip with DFDS"
It was my first travel with DFDS.I cant explain in words how much I enjoyed. The whole team remained very friendly throughout the journey... I do admire the behaviour of the crew... In short it was an excellent experience...
"Poor customer relations"
Poor connections for foot passengers in Copenhagen. Unhelpful bus driver and totally useless website meant we had to find our own way by public transport.
"DFDS Seaways"
Cabin was too small. Lighting was not sufficient in the cabin. There was no kettle in the cabin. There was no free wifi on the whole ship.
"Oslo to Copenhagen"
We had an inside cabin on deck 2 which is below the car decks at the bottom of the ship and we could hear noise, presumably from the ship's engines. When we used the shower the filter over the drain lifted due to the water pooling in the bottom and pieces of black gunk came up from the drain which was quite disgusting. I would not book the same cabin again. The ship has hardly any inside seating in public areas which is not part of a bar or restaurant so if you bring your own food like we did you will struggle to find somewhere to sit and eat other than your cabin. You are not allowed to eat your own food in public area. For us it was the worst overnight ferry trip we have taken.
"Exceptional"
We had exceptional accomodations, good food,and wonderful service.the staff were all so helpful and friendly. The outdoor bars were so enjoyable. While smoking was generally not allowed, there was enough space for those of us who haven't yet kicked the habit,. We would recommend travelling this way to Norway .
"Terrible beds and bedlinen"
Bedmatress was too big for the underlying bed by twenty cms on either side. It was an awfully deceiving way to make the bed appear bigger than it was. The duvets were so thick they would've been OK for arctic conditions. One had too pull them out on the return trip so as not too seat all night. For the price we paid, the cabin and bed were absolutely dreadful. Will think twice before travelling with DFDS again, anyway paying for a cabin.
"A wonderfull experience"
it was a wonderful experience for all my family
"Perfect trip"
Very organized trip Crew are so helpful .. All services were great .. I love it and will repeat it. P.s. 7seas restaurant please consider putting ice cream for adults they were all sneaking to kids buffet to GRT some !including me
"oslo to copenhagen"
no problem throuhout or journey
"Excellent"
A very pleasant experience. Easy to book, easy to board and disembark and the room was very clean and comfortable. Restaurants were good and the ship was very clean. Overall a great way to travel.
"Wonderful trip!"
I had a lovely time on my first cruise with you and would do it again for sure. The cabin I was assigned could have used a bit of freshening (stains on sofa). And free wifi should be expanded beyond the customer service desk--but all in all it was a great way to travel & would highly recommend..
""It's only happen with DFDS Seaways!!!"
It was a fascinating experience.!!, we will do it again. No doubt!!
"Save time and money"
We recently took a trip to Norway and decided to visit Copenhagen since it so close we only had 3 days left of our vacation so it was diffiuclt to find rooms in Copenhagen so we opted to take the over night ferry so we only had to find a room for one night since you sleep on the ferry going and returning . We found a centrally located room a 10 minute taxi ride away from the ferry station . So we had a full day in Olso and took the late afternoon ferry to Denmark and stayed in Commodore class on the ferry ( comes with a bottle of champagne and breakfast the next morning). We arrived in Copenhagen refreshed and ready to tour the city the next morning after checking in our luggage at the hotel we took a hop on hop off bus tour of the city good for 48 hours it took us to all the citys points of interest and the next day we took the late afternoon ferry back to Olso The room on the ferry was quiet and comfortable there are a number of resturants and entertainment help pass the time on board.
"Fair "
It was a good ship overall . It had children facilities but unfortunately all kids activities were in their language and not in English for the 2 days !! Vegetarian food options were extremely limited.
"Fantastic Voyage"
This overnight trip is the best way to travel from Copenhagen to Oslo (or visa versa). The ship was pristine, the staff wonderful and the food excellent. We upgraded to a Commodore class cabin which was well worth the extra cost, double bed, hot shower, TV, fridge with complimentary water, chocolates and sparkling wine also a large window for viewing that fantastic scenery. Commodore class also has separate breakfast dining (the breakfasts were amazing). If you opt for the all you can eat evening buffet dining you will not be disappointed although you will queue at peak times, the food is plentiful however and will not run out. Views of the Fjords are amazing and I would recommend taking an early breakfast so you can get up on deck to take full advantage of the views. A fantastic voyage, I am now a cruise convert!
"Trip to Oslo from Copenhagen"
Very good and save trip.
"good trip"
Check-in was straightforward. It would be helpful if directions for using the nearby S station were given. Boat was modern and spacious, on board night life was interesting.
"Denmark to Norway"
I found that the booking was easy and convenient. Had no trouble with the bookings all was easy, and I could just enjoy my trip. Great value for money I spent booking with Direct Ferries. Thank you :)
"Okay, I guess"
Ship's facilities include several restaurants, a not-so-cheap arcade room, some stores, a pool area that may suit families but not attractive for couples, and an extremely overpriced massage. The main issue I had is the fact the room description was in Norwegian, and I could not find an English one. I've ordered a 'suite' with explanation that I understood as double bed, but it came with bunks so me and my wife shared a single-person bed... :| The room had a single power outlet, so bare in mind for those who'd like to utilize several electric components (laptop/tablet/phones etc).
"Pleasant voyage"
Cruise from Copenhagen to Oslo with DFDS Seaways. It's the only way to travel.
"Copenhagen to Oslo by Direct Ferries"
Check-in process was quick and easy. Our room was clean, and comfortable with a nice view of the ocean. We were on Commodore level 7, and assumed we would be able to use the lounge on the same level (assuming it was included as we paid extra for that level). When we tried our key, it didn't work, so a member of the staff let us in. After a few minutes, another member of the staff came in and questioned why we were in there - apparently the 7th floor lounge was only for tour guides. He was quite rude and told us to pretty much 'get out'. Not very nice to assume we were doing something wrong, even after we explained that we genuinely thought we were allowed to be in there. Breakfast was to be included in our Commodore level ticket, however, the tickets were not in our room (as they should have been and were for other guests on the same level). We ended up spending close to 20Euros (muffin, croissant + 2 coffees) buying breakfast from the coffee shop and later realized (from reading a small sign in the hallway) that we should have had prepaid breakfast tickets. When we went to ask for them, the woman was also rude about it and said we should check our room (which we did). We also explained that we ended up spending unnecessarily on breakfast - she didn't have an ounce of empathy about it and very gruffly said that we should have asked her first. The ferry journey was nice, but service was disappointing. I've been on many other ferries around the world and this wasn't the most positive customer service experience we have had.
"Excellent "
The best trip and excellent service.
"Great experience!"
I loved this way to travel from Oslo to Copenhaguen!
"What a way to go"
