  • "Sailing 14:15 19/08/18"

    Late departure (20min) due to engine trouble and further delay (25min) en route not explained. Not a disaster and delays can be a price to be paid for risking the crossing on the fast boat. I do have one complaint. The passenger deck was too cold. I realise the air has to be circulated but why waste energy bringing the temperature down to an uncomfortable level?

  • "A Successful Trip"

    Having registered my mobile number meant we were advised of a delay to our departure and this helped us understand what was happening and how long we were to wait, being only forty five minutes was not a problem. The journey was very smooth and the staff very helpful. Seating in the Club area is worth the little extra it costs. Our journey on return was on time and very comfortable.

  • "Good facilities but very choppy crossing"

    The facilities are very good and the trip only takes about two hours. However, we were a little unlucky, going to Ireland mid-September, to get a very choppy crossing going over and my wife was not feeling too well - it was however fine coming back. It was so rough in fact that the next crossing was cancelled, just bad timing really.

  • "Wobbly but Pleasant"

    Though my trip was delayed by half an hour the efficiency with which the cars were guided onto and then off of the Ferry was incredible. The announcer spoke with such clarity, with such a calming, interesting speaking voice that I thought "wow, I feel totally secure". The sea was somewhat choppy but all times the Ferry was spotless and comfortable. I haven't been on Irish Ferries for many years but would certainly use it again.

  • "Bike tour of Southern Ireland"

    Very good service that ran on time, on the way back we received a text from Irish Ferries and a call From Direct Ferris to tell us that we needed to change from the high speed ferry due to bad weather conditions. Very simple process that worked well and would happily use this service again from Holyhead.
