"LD Lines / DFDS Portsmouth to Le Havre"

Excellent value for money ferry operator and crossing. Screaming child for 4 hours of 5 hour crossing slightly irritating. All the crew were as friendly and helpful as usual. Tasty food and bar snacks. Immaculately clean ship including the toilets. The shop was well stocked for holiday gift purchases. Short organised boarding and disembarking of vehicles as usual. It is such a shame that DFDS have now ceased this route leaving no competition.

I thank DFDS directferries as i have recieved my lost passport in the post. I dropped it on board and it was found the same day when i contacted the ferry. The only request i have is if all lights could be turned out during the night crossing in the lounges with reclining seats.

"5 day trip"

Boat was quiet but not over warm. Loading in UK seemed to take ages whereas in France we were whisked straight on, having arrived 60 minutes before sailing at each port. Unloading seemed lengthy, due to much manoeuvring of trucks, 30 minutes plus in France. Overall 7/10 Will travel with Direct Ferries again.

"Ferry booking"

From arriving on-board we were greeted like old friends by the deck handlers, pursers office staff, Bar staff and restaurant crew. Our cabin was very clean and comfy, and after a drink in the bar area as we left the harbour was welcoming. Only thing that I would like different would be Hot food to be hot, not luke warm that needs microwaving. We returned on the same vessel and as above were made to feel very welcome, Highly recommended and will be returning with the same company.

"A far better alternative."

We took our car over to France using the Portsmouth to Le Havre crossing. As there were very few passengers on board, we were informed that they would stop one of the engines. This made us one hour late in arriving in Le Harve. The food was also of pretty poor quality. Six weeks later, for our return crossing I decided to travel with DFDS. This was a much better appointed ship with better food and service. It was on time and was even cheaper that the outward carrier. Many thanks, DFDS.

"Satisfied"

I used the ferry last week and found most things to be satisfactory. The bed in the cabin was comfortable enough, although I could have done with a thicker pillow, and the blanket wasn't sufficient for my travelling companion who needed to wear her fleece in bed. I was delighted to get on and off the ferry very quickly as frequently even though I invariably arrive early, I am one of the last off the boat.( perhaps because usually I travel in a higher vehicle) I didn't use the restaurant, but the food looked appetizing. The ferry I think was the Seven Sisters, not the Norman Voyager. I find LD Lines to be much better value for money than Brittany Ferries, and it will be a pity that this route may close.

"A good but rough Crossing"

We found the staff and the facilities aboard the seven sisters to be very good. As we were out off season I can only assume there was less passengers which gave us a choice of seating and the amenaties. The food was of a high standard and was very welcome after a several hour drive to the dock. The only draw back was the weather going to France it was quite choppy which we were warned about its a shame the DFS ferries cant control the waves and it would have been perfect.

"Affordable Crossings"

My trip with DFDS was as good as Brittany Ferries and a lot cheaper.Being a smaller vessel the scale of the facilities was smaller but this was made up for by the pleasant and helpfull staff. My return journey was delayed by bad weather for which DFDS cannot be held resposible. My only critisism of the service was the lack of refreshment facilities at Le Harvre terminal with no refreshments being available having traveled for 3 hrs to get there. It will be a pitty to see the service stopped in the near future leaving most customers at the mercy of one operator. A value for money service that will be missed

trouble free assembly and loading. Ship bright and clean. Cafeteria meal well presented and reasonably priced. With a 150 mile onward journey from Portsmouth at 10pm, our party opted for a couple of cabins to get some rest on the crossing. Clean, smart, en-suite cabins.No contest for value. £5 each for an aircraft style seat in a public area or £10 each for a cabin for two !! We will repeat this run

"Portsmouth to La Harve with DFDS"

I often travel to France and have found the route from Portsmouth to La Harve to be the least expensive and quickest route to the part of Normandy I visit. You pay less in tolls, it's only a two hour drive to Villedieu whereas it may be an hour's drive from Caen but almost 3 times the cost on Brittany ferry. The boat was much cleaner on this route than the Dover to Calais one which, frankly, was awful. I do hope DFDS continue to serve this route as I've read somewhere they may be discontinuing! The alternative, Brittany ferries is very expensive. Our Government is very short sighted, even stupid, if they think high fuel levy's will bring in more revenue....have they thought about the people they will make unemployed who will cost the country more money! Do they ever!!!!!!

"Portsmouth-Le Havre September 2014"

We have travelled on this route on a number of occasions and have always found it very satisfactory. Our last trip - 16-27 September -was no exception. The staff - from booking-in to onboard, were efficient, friendly and helpful. the only negative was disembarking in Portsmouth on return, which took more than an hour. There is no point in recommending this route as from what we read in the press, it will be ending later this year??. A great disappointment.

"Pleasant trip for First Timers"

As part of our European vacation, my wife and I took the overnight ferry from Portsmouth to Le Havre. Overall it was a good experience and we would do it again. We opted for a cabin to appease my wife, though after she saw the ship she felt we could have gone without. The ride was smooth and the services were all you need (and would expect) for a ferry trip. The biggest complaint we have is it was very difficult to get a sense of what to expect. It's not cushy by any means, but more like a dumbed down cruise ship. There's a cafeteria and bar with ample options. The seating areas for those without cabins were much nicer than what we were expecting, kind of like airplane seats but much bigger. We could have slept comfortably there, though we would have given up having our own bathroom (albeit a tiny one).

"Sept. hols."

Chose this route due to where we were heading. Portsmouth being closer than Dover, as well saving some 500 odd miles in the process. This allowed us to accept the more expensive crossing, balancing costs. The staff were the most pleasant we have come across for some time both off and on board. Polite and attentive, we could not ask for more. We shall be back. If an observation had to be made it would be that on both journeys some WC's were inoperative involving a slightly longer walk, only difficult due to a dodgy knee.

"Good crossing spoilt by a lack of a good restaurant facility"

Not having crossed from Le Havre before we found the access to the harbour facilities easy. Loading was a little slow, but we left on time. Although the ship was basic we had reasonable seating in a spacious longe. As we were crossing in the late afternoon/evening we were looking forward to a nice meal in a comfortable restaurant. This did not exist and we had a basic cafeteria meal. The food was reasonable, but we would have liked more of a restaurant setting. We docked on time, exit was reasonably quick from the ship and very good from the harbour.

Cannot fault DFDS great crossing both ways until; I was on the terra firma at 21.40 and joined a line of cars for Border Security,so possibly the first 50 cars off the boat possibly bit more . I was in the last 12 carsto pass through passport check at 22.40 .WHAT is going on the passport checker verified my time at his booth so this is not in anyway prejudice. 1 hour to go 500 metres and have my passport checked a bit of a mess me thinks ,are there any plans to eleviate this problem of traffic incoming and outgoing crossing each other?? If not Newhaven is the better place even considering the time/distance scale I would be home quicker.I would recommend to a friend after pointing this failing out.

"Return from France"

We traveled Portsmouth to Le Havre (and back two weeks later) at the end of Aug 14. On the way out there was a slight delay of an hour but as we were traveling overnight it did not impact too much. Cabins were all booked so we had to sleep in chairs - worked out OK even with 8 and 10 yr old children. Return fine - they showed a number of Disney DVDs which kept the children occupied for the 5hr journey. Food good quality/tasty but a little expensive over £50 for four - cafeteria style.

"A good experience all round"

I'm happy to say that everything went smoothly from start to finish. The ship was surprisingly quiet and the staff friendly and professional. The boarding was easy and we'd come prepared to bed down in a seat as we could only pre-book a single birth, but to our surprise were given an upgrade to accommodate three of us. The cabin was comfortable and well equipped so we had a good night's sleep once we'd explored the ship and had a coffee. We didn't try the food on the way out but it didn't look bad. The seating was comfortable and we discovered a quiet area tucked away on the upper deck which would have been fine if we hadn't had the cabin. All in all, a good experience, better than expected.

"You get what you pay for"

They used a subcontractor for the crossing. A small vessel, felt every wave, but the outside cabins were bigger than it's Stena or Brittany Ferry rivals. The facilities were limited compared to the bigger companies, catering was a cornered market! Staff seemed friendly and helpful. The onboard shop was small but well stocked. Don't expect a movie, but we did find a TV with an incorporated DVD bolted to the wall at the miniscule kids play area that kept the kids distracted. The crossing was thankfully not too busy so we had plenty of room for the family. For the busier night crossings a cabin is recommended, there are people sleeping on most available floor surfaces. If your tight on cash a good £150 cheaper than the same return journey with Brittany Ferries, but you get what you pay for.

"Never again!"

Very poor facilities. Loading took forever - not what you want when your two children just want to go to sleep. They are loading/unloading these ships every day, It should be as smooth an operation as a Swiss watch by now. Not enough cabins available. We had two children with us and had to sleep in upright seats with all the lights still on as well as the TV. Some people were sleeping on the floor around the ship. Toilets were either out of order, dirty, or broken. Be careful where you sit. The truck drivers like to have noisy card games whilst using foul language. Food was expensive and just warm. This ship either needs a refit or decomisioning.

The trip was comfortable, smooth crossing. Cabin booked for return, which was good, ensuite and private space to relax. Overnight crossing however, no cabins available. The lounge seats barely recline at all and this made sleeping very uncomfortable. Also no blankets given, and it was very cold. I slept very little. Some people stretched out on the wooden floor as a more comfortable option! So I would recommend a cabin if you want to sleep.

They did resolve it in the end but it was upsetting. I'm certain that had we not been so forthright, we'd have had to sleep on the deck! In all other respects we were happy with the service.

"Go prepared"

The Seven Sisters ship which we travelled on was a nice, clean and well laid out ship. However we didn't go prepared well enough for the overnight crossing. I would highly recommend taking sleeping bags, pillows, eye covers and ear plugs if you want to sleep before a long drive the next day. It is a very long and stressful night in the reclining chairs if you don't have these items. It is a good service which gets in at 8am and gives you the full day ahead to get on with your holiday. Also the lights were kept on over our reclining chairs, all night long, so I would advise you to ask which areas have their lights dimmed throughout the night!

"Overall - fine!"

Overall I was happy with the ship and the service. One small gripe is that no signs were posted to say that they charged £1 extra for using a UK debit card on board - I'd have used Euros if I'd known as no doubt the bank will charge me too. I would rather have specifically been allocated a sleeper seat on the night crossing going out as some selfish travellers were saving 3 seats so their little darling (one child) could sleep on the floor in front of them. It made getting seats together tricky for some travellers. The Severn Sisters is showing a bit of wear and tear. I used the onboard hire a DVD and player (complete with headphones thankfully) for my granddaughter - 2 hours of bliss!

"My Trip"

I thought the improved ferry was a lot nicer to travel, more comfort, better choice of food, the bar area was so much better & above all being a roll on roll off was so much better for boarding & leaving especially when towing a caravan. I would travel with this ferry again.

"Thank you, DFDS!"

We chose DFDS crossing from Le Havre to Portsmouth because the price was less than half that of Caen to Portsmouth with Brittany Ferries. We left on time and arrived on time after a smooth crossing. My comments are as follows: (1) The food offered was adequate but not as hot as it should have been (2) Considerable areas of the ship were being repainted but no-one was working (3) Disembarkation took a very long time (50 minutes) I would definitely use DFDS again in spite of these minor criticisms

"Almost everything perfect"

We traveled to Normandy at night so we tryed the "scilent room" and it was really fine. The seats were really confortable, so we slept all night :) The canteen and the bar was fine, wer didn't eat so I don't know anything about the food. The ferry started and arrived in time. The only problem was the cleanliness: the toilets were a bit dirtiy (honestly just a little bit) and the soap trays were empty. Anyway, I think I'm gonna use this company again, if I have an opportunity.

I travelled overnight with a friend and returned on the same boat five days later. We were really impressed by the friendliness and courtesy of the staff. The boat was clean, the food was perfectly adequate (from the snack bar)and the cabin was a delight. Everything worked according to plan and we would most definitely go with Direct Ferries in the future. It was excellent value for money, indeed, it was a class act!! Thank you very much. (I wish I hadn't left my make-up bag in cabin 653.....I really hoped I might be able to pick it up on the way back but, no....it had gone!)

"Relaxed sail from Le Havre to Portsmouth"

The sailing from Le. Havre to Portsmouth is five and a half hours but the time passed quite quickly. We shopped for wine in the duty free, sat in very comfy seats and read or watched TV and had a meal. All in all it saved a lot of driving to Calais and was a much more civilised journey for us. We booked a simple ie not expensive hotel near Portsmouth for when we landed on Saturday night and had a leisurely drive north on Sunday. It worked really well for us and the ferry was the key to it.

My wife and I enjoyed a very pleasant and relaxing cruise back to the UK after completing 3000kms over 26 nights in France. The Ferry named Seven Sisters provided a comfortable and restful experience before our onward 250 miles in England. The Loading & Unloading was very well managed. The bar and restaurant were a delight and the prices reasonable. I particularly enjoyed the Chicken Tikka Curry which went down well! Thanks to all the crew.

"A tale of two journeys!"

Going out to Le Havre from Portsmouth we timed it just right for le Mans. The ferry was awash with wondrous cars and the banter was great, and everyone slipped away in the early hours to catch 40 winks ready for a fresh day when we docked at 8am. The return journey was the opposite. No peace anywhere, and considering we docked at 9.30pm with most passengers having some kind of homeward journey, parents of children took no heed. The children's play area really does need relocating away from the quiet lounge or some kind of policy of quiet time imposed, if at all possible. I arrived home at 3am, very much the worse for a disturbed journey, unfortunately.

"Generally very happy"

The contact with the after sale staff which notified me of the change of boat and of the lack of cabin available was excellent. They organised an alternative route quickly and efficiently. The staff on board was very nice too. The boat was of human scale, so boarding and disembarkment didn't take too much time and it was easy to circulate (cars on deck 4 and 5, cabins on deck 6). The external cabins were spacious, with confortable beds. They were cleaned and well maintained. The only negative is that the passengers are woken up and told to go to their vehicles, however the access to the decks are not open yet. So, the passengers need to wait standing up for a while, which is particularly unpleasant for elderly passengers or family with young children. Of course, the staff needs to clean the cabins, but it's a bit hasty. Apart from this, I have very happy with the service offered by DFDS Seaways.

"A good crossing on a budget"

We booked to go to France at short notice, and found DFDS to be the best value crossing, allowing us a leisurely journey down to Portsmouth, with time for a meal before boarding, and a reasonable arrival time in France rather than the middle of the night! The Seven Sisters is clearly not as recently renovated as some other ferries - most of the reclining seats we saw seemed to be stuck in one position and it was just a case of luck if yours was upright, or reclined, also the TV being left on all night in the reclining areas wasn't great for getting a good nights sleep. That said, there were plenty of people who had come prepared with sleeping bags and roll mats, laid out around the lounge areas, and along the floor under the reclining seats, which is what I will be doing next time I cross! Breakfast was a good serving for a reasonable cost, made even better by the fantastic sunrise if you sit on the correct side of the boat.

I love using the ferries--I appreciate "slow travel"-- an opportunity to read a good book and observe others. The service is very good all-round- courteous staff, very clean ships and general efficient operation etc I have just a couple of quibbles-- its a sham,e your catering staff have succumbed to the lowering of standards that seems to be creeping in in other places- leaving the customer to take out the tea bag. Its a little thing but it represents a lowering of standards. The second small point- could yopu consider offering a gluten-free option and soya milk for tea/coffee. Allergies are now very big and limits many peoples' ability to eat out- but many outlets are now catering for them.

"Easy Peasy Channel Crossing"

It was the first time that I'd used DFDS and it was just me driving. I'd booked using Direct Ferries so needed to get my tickets at Portsmouth and Le Havre. Everything went well. The check-in staff were very helpful. Departure form Portsmouth was on-time. There was a delay at Le Havre due to a security alert but not the fault of DFDS. Passengers were kept informed by staff both in the car park and on the boat. I recommend DFDS and will be using them again when using this route. One improve I would like to suggest is to allow dogs out of vehicles during the crossing. This is done on ferries in other parts of Europe (eg Italy to Greece) but not crossing the Channel.

We booked with DFDS as they were reasonable and offered us the service which others did not. I had to be in France to sign for a house and the ferry trip was on time, the cabins were comfortable and we arrived in Le Havre following breakfast on board ready for our dash to sign. I recommended this service to a friend who crossed over the following week for a drive down in to Spain. Thank you for any a pleasant trip.

The journey went well, the staff is welcoming and the cabins offers enough confort for a good crossing. The only problem was a booking mistake that I made. The inbound journey was the day before I selected on the search tool. Be attentive to the different options offered by Directferries.

The big plus is that you receive the code of the cabin with you boarding pass, so you don't need to wait for the key. The cabin was clean. The sea was agitated, but the crossing was confortable.

"Le Havre Return crossing."

We travelled on the overnight crossing to Le Havre and booked a cabin. it is eight hours across at night, the cabin was very clean and towels were supplied, but you have to take your own toiletries. My only problem with this crossing, other crossings may be different, but groups travelling together decided to have open door discussions well into the early hours. The return journey only being five hours, we booked the free chairs, very comfortable. We chose to sit in the forward area, opposite the young childrens play area. Most of the time the children played farely quietly. Then older children joined in and the noise was terrible. These childrens parents left them playing, although notices on the wall state that children should be supervised. If we travel this way again, we will sit further away from the play area.

Strange car loading and offloading due to the parking and storage arrangements on this ferry. I think it would be better to back cars into position for a quicker offload.

"Good experience"

This was our first trip on this route, using the overnight service. The overall experience was better than we expected to be honest! Firstly the price was the best we found. The facilities were somewhat basic but perfectly adequate. The most impressive part for us was the staff on board - every single person we came across, french & english, were superb - excellent manner & communication. The cabin was fine. It was a 4 berth but to be honest I'd not like to be in there with 4 adults!! we had 2 adults & a child which was just about bearable with the space. Havin said that, the alternative of sleeping in the chairs was simply not an option! The crossing was fine, we got there on time but because we were parked on the top deck it did take a long while to disembark Return trip was fine too. Because it was an afternoon departure we didn't book a cabin & used the lounge seats. Was ok but I think in hindsight I'd prefer a cabin to try & get a bit more rest especially as it was 10.30pm when we arrived in UK & had a few more hours to drive home

"Rough crossing but great experience"

I have just done return journey from Le Havre to Portsmouth on the Norman Voyager. Both trips were accomplished in the worst storms and roughest seas the area has seen in a long time and yet both crossings were excellent and departed and arrived on time. The cabins were clean and basic but they were comfortable and the staff were very helpful, polite, competent and knowledgeable. The trip was easy to book, and I can't fault the service. My only recommendations for improvement would be that the ship only has a tiny shop with a few items for sale - so don't think you can stock up on cases of cheap booze before your holidays. The catering did also look expensive, given that you've already paid for your ticket. Otherwise embarking and disembarking with a push chair was a challenge because of the stairs. The staff were quick to help us in any way they could. Overall, it was a very good experience that I would recommend to anyone with sturdy sea legs.

The cabin and the boat were simply perfect. No problems there. One major fault was loading the cars onto the upper deck and then having to reverse them to get them off.

"Good Value for Money"

I frequently take a Transit over to France from the west of the UK. It makes a much shorter journey to use Portsmouth/L'Havre than Dover/Calais. It saves on fuel, saves on overnight at Dover and toll charges both ways. I always take a cabin because the rest makes such a difference to how you feel when you hit the road again. I thoroughly recommend DFDS. Direct Ferries got me the best price by a long way.

"The DFDS Experience."

Using DFDS is a pleasant and relatively inexpensive way to cross the Channel. The staff are friendly and unendingly helpful and the food uncomplicated and tasty. I would say, however, that travelling over night on your own, having had such good value at the point of booking, it comes as a shock when you learn that it would cost an additional £60 to share a cabin. Consequently, despite making myself as comfortable as I could for the night, I felt the effect the following day!

"Portsmouth to Le Havre and back"

The signage to when you get to Portsmouth isn't good so connecting LD Lines with the DFDS signage wasn't obvious and at 10.00pm after a long drive with trailer it would be nice to come of the Motorway and be more clearly directed - perhaps the post code of the actual entrance for the SatNag? Once checked in, loading was executed without fuss or stress and the teams clearly work well together. The seating area on this ship is quite small and located either side of the small bar with the restaurant at the far end. The ship has a whole deck of cabins so perhaps focused towards lorry traffic? The food in the restaurant was hearty and reasonable quality. It's perhaps a little expensive compared to onshore (Fish, Chips, Peas and Orangina - £12.50ish). Overnight trip to Le Havre was without issue. No blankets are provided for the seats so take your own and a pillow or neck support would be good. The lights in the seating area were turned off promptly about midnight, but some lights stay on and it's not obvious which these are until all others turned off. If you can't sleep with the light on it would be good to know so you don't sit under one of them. Didn't have too many load snorers which was good. The seating area was clean and seat was reasonably comfortable for sleeping. Could do with better foot support. Men's urinals were not all functioning and the use of tatty black plastic bags to cover them just lowers the quality of the experience. It looked like they'd been out of action for some time and it was more than one of the loos that were affected. Just this aspect makes you question the companies attitude towards the customer experience. Loos were clean and didn't smell which on a rough crossing would be a blessing! Breakfast smelled and looked very good, but I had coffee (good) and croissant (cold). Unloading quick and similarly well orchestrated. Return trip was overall similar to the outbound, but obviously in day light. If you want to sleep sit in the first seating area before the bar. The second area nearest the restaurant is next to the small kiddies play area and the shrieking might mean you can't settle. Food (Ginger Pork with Rice and Peas) was satisfying and a good portion. Looking at other diners there wasn't much waste on their plates either so conclude that quality is acceptable. Given the great reliability of this service even in bad Weather I would strongly recommend it. I think the pricing is very good and I'd be very happy to use it again next time I go.

"A Very Smooth Ride from France to the UK"

We were coming from Eastern France by train and needed to get to the UK and based on previous experience with Direct Ferries we booked from home on line in Canada. Very simple process and very reasonable rates. Since we had to wait in the Le Havre terminal for a couple of hours having travelled all day, it would have been nice to have had a café or coffee shop in the waiting area. On board, it took a while to get oriented but we were lucky to find seats in a very quiet lounge next to the Purser's office. As all the cars load before the foot passengers, the majority of seats are taken before latter get aboard. Dinner in the restaurant was very pleasant, looking out of the windows forward to the Channel. I must say the restaurant is a most friendly, efficient and well -run operation catering to a lot of people at once. The staff were particularly welcoming and helpful.

"LD Lines / DFDS Improvementa Needed"

On the western channel, the ferry competition is weak. Brittany Ferries prices are extortionate, unless a special offer is secured. DFDS is more affordable and can be very reasonable with special offers. The outward service from Portsmouth is overnight and many passengers opt for the reclining seats instead of cabins. Many bring camp beds or blow up mattresses, so the public areas become something of a camp site. Some stretch out on the bench seating, whilst the remainder contort themselves into various positions on the reclining seats to try and get comfortable for a snooze. The breakfast is a bit canteen like, but acceptable. Dinner on the return crossing is much the same - not haute cuisine. Avoid the fish - not proper fillets but frozen shaped portions - disappointing. I have two main gripes. Boarding is so painfully slow, not helped by that long narrow ramp taking cars up to the outside part of the main passenger deck and the subsequent manouvering to pack the cars into the limited space. Disembarkation is just as slow - as priority is given to the vehicles on the lower decks. My second gripe concerns toilets. Having used the ferry in June and found a gents urinal out of use, I was not expecting to find the same urinal still out of use in September and added to with the second of three also out of use. I mentioned the issue to staff and was told that parts were awaited. So let's hope the engines do not develop any faults, or we could be in for a very long crossing, or no service at all for a few months.

I had an excellent experience travelling with LD Lines on Norman Voyager. I hadn't had time to print off my on-line confirmation but it didn't matter as ANPR gave the staff my details as I arrived and I was greeted by name. The ship was clean and sailed on time. Unfortunately the wind had set my car alarm off and flattened my battery but it was not a drama as the sailing staff quickly summoned quayside staff with jump leads who started my car for free and had me away in minutes. Seamless service.

The check in at Portsmouth was perfect. Practically drove straight through to the loading area. Once on board, the Cabin was excellent, clean and very comfortable. On arival at Le Havre, disembarkation was very quick and efficient and we were very soon on our way in France. The return journey was just the same except for the fact that we hadn't had time to eat so we had to find something on the Ferry. Were we pleased at that, the meal and wine deal in the restaurant was excellent and the food was top class. We travel over at least twice a year and Direct Ferries will get our business from now on. Thank You for making our holiday complete.

"Great service from LD Lines"

Good crossing from Portsmouth to Le Havre all went well, missed the return ferry because of road works in France (one of those things in life you have to accept). The guy at LD Lines reception desk was very helpful rebooked our crossing from Dieppe to Newhaven for the next morning crossing with NO charge. Great service just about to book another crossing with LD Lines.

"My Thoughts"

We found the boat very clean and our bunks surprisingly spacious and there was lots of hot water for showers, there were three of us in a cabin. The staff were helpfull and 'smily' On the return trip we hadn't booked a cabin and were told there would be unreserved lounger seats, but not enough of these were available I'm afraid. If you were a seasoned traveller and were prepared to rush and barge a bit, I'm sure we could have got to the front of the que for some. We ate on our return trip and the food was ok, one of our party had the fish and chips which he didn't eat as it was so dried up and tasteless, I feel if he had complained he may have been offered something else, but he was tired and not willing to do so. I had the curry which was ok, but my nan bread was cold and dry. I also didn't say anything. All in all, apart from the food, which was average a good experience.

"Good for the price"

LD Lines were much cheaper than the other companies doing similar routes but we felt we got good value for our money. The ship was clean and comfortable, and the staff we dealt with were helpful. The only downside was that the car parking deck has no exit in the direction you park facing, which means everyone has to reverse and turn round to disembark. On the way over to Portsmouth, there didn't appear to be anyone directing this, and it was a bit chaotic. It was still a bit of a shambles on the way back to Le havre but at least there was an LD employee refereeing.

"Plymouth to LeHarve"

I took my family to France, I am a mother on my own with three children, so was a bit nervous. The ferry terminal in Portsmouth was very easy to find. It was an overnight crossing so I paid the extra and booked the cabin. I am so glad I did, it was comfortable, clean and made the journey very easy. on the return trip, the ferry terminal was well sign posted. It was a little confusing when I got to the terminal as it said Brittany Ferries only, but it was also for LD lines. The staff were very helpful and polite. The food was OK. There was an option to have a day cabin for 20 euros, in retrospect I should have taken that as my children did like spending my money on board. I would definitely use LD Lines again, it was good value for money.

"Norman Voyager"

We used the Portsmouth-Le Havre service and returned the same way. The overnight sailing was great, we had a cabin which we needed as we had a long drive in France. The boarding was efficient and fast which enabled us to be in our cabin early enough to get a full night sleep. Docking in Le Havre was a breeze! I wish the same could be said for arriving in Portsmouth. The queues at passport control were horrendous as 3 ships dock at the same time, it took 45 mins in a queue to get through which was not great considering we had already had a long day. The ship was great, very clean and comfortable and the cabin was comfortable. My only criticism is the lack of comfortable seats for the return. We did have seats but a lot of people had to sit on floors or stand around. Definitely travelling with them again, highly recommended!

"Smooth sailing but difficult sleep!"

While we knew the journey was an eight-hour trip overnight and that we wouldn't be having cabins, we had hoped for seats that reclined a bit more. The seating was in abundance, of that we were pleased, and it was a smooth and uneventful crossing. Some of us found suitable sleeping areas in the restaurant on the benches and we were very glad to have bought our pillows and blankets on board as they were all indispensable. We were all impressed by the outside areas that were allowed for passengers to roam around; they seemed less restricted than on other boats. This allowed us to enjoy the fresh sea air and the wonderful sights and views leaving Portsmouth and indeed, arriving in Le Havre, early the next morning.

"Delay"

It's ok for a ferry to be late, but it's a pity that so few information are given about it. There was only was annoucement and it was impossible to hear it. Moreover, the electronic pannels were indicating that boarding was starting at 9.30pm when it only started at 10.45pm.

"Overnight sailing Sunday August 25th"

My wife and I traveled overnight but my wife was taken ill on the crossing.Early in the morning I asked if there was a ships doctor on board, there was not but the captain was really efficient. He visited my wife in our cabin, was most courteous, arranged for our car to be one of the first off. A van was arranged to meet us as soon as we drove off and escorted us to the nearest Health centre. Our escort took us to the receptionist and explained my wifes illness and left us in very capable hands. Thank you to the Captain for all his help and concern. Sadly I do not have his name.

Did not travel due to my wife having serious illness requiring urgent and ongoing treatment. There is a no refunds policy in place so out of pocket. Didn't seem to be a cancellation facility or option to defer to a later date. seems to be a case of once they have your money you're committed or if you don't go, tough!

"The return trip"

The company was very efficient and the trip was very easy. The cabin overnight was great if a bit cramped. the food in the restaurant was fine and there were enough places to sit - just! The only thing which marred the return was that I chose seats near the childrens play area. There was a group of young children who were unbelievably naughty, loud, screaming and generally badly behaved. In spite of the request, twice, over the speaker system for parents to control their children, they continued. THe staff did come and try to calm them but in th eend it caused me so much distress that we moved seats. Disappointing that duty free was so tiny!

"Overnight on the Ferry"

I have a mobility disability and ordered a disable cabin and expected a normal cabin with a few handholds. Instead we were given a cabin with plenty of room and best of all was the shower and toilet facility had plenty of room and handholds so that at no time wasI troubled by the motion of the ship. We also were given a parking space just outside the facility so didn't have far to the cabin. My only gripe is that the food for breakfast looked and tasted tired. Catering could do with a bit of update training

Since LD Ferries has been taken over by another company wouldn't it be a good idea to inform your customers of this fact?! When we arrived at Portsmouth we were concerned that LD Ferries was not mentioned anywhere and we didn't know where to go without asking a policeman who was directing traffic - not good enough!

"Portsmouth to L'Havre return trip"

It did the job! Embarkation took a while. Our cabin was clean, quiet and comfortable and we arrived on time. On our return, we were almost the last to embark and the last to disembark so a lot of waiting. The very friendly man organising the loading helpfully explained it was because they didn't want my elderly dad having to climb stairs. i even had time to brew tea!! Plenty of seat choice in the lounges but the meal in the restaurant was dire and very expensive. The staff were helpful and friendly but the quality of the food was so disappointing, especially after 10 days in France. The price was competitive and we got what we paid for.

Outbound crossing from Le Havre: very disappointed with the quality of the boat: small, no booking for reclining seats (people are putting their bags or their jackets on the seats for long periods of time) and there is no way to find two free seats.
