Plymouth Santander Ferry reviews

  • "Noisy "

    Quick and easy boarding procedures, ship appeared very clean. Cabin was very small but as we just used it for sleeping it was adequate. Pillow was rock hard so not for me but the shower was exquisite! I have to say that I have never been on this ferry before and this was the loudest I have ever been on.
