"Bathroom not cleaned!!!"
We were worried about travelling in light of coronavirus and were assured p&o were doing everything to minimise risk of spread if germs. We were therefore horrified upon checking into our room to find the bathroom had not been cleaned we were utterly disgusted. The staff moved us to another room but we did not feel we had confidence in their cleanliness to risk eating the buffet for evening meal nor breakfast do paid £60 for nothing . After having being reassured cleanliness was a priority this was unacceptable!

"Antiquated WiFi Service"
The WiFi provision on the P&O ferries is extremely poor. I had a premium ticket on the way out and I was told that didn't provide WiFi, I had to pay for it. On the way back I had a Club ticket and was told that this allowed me 30 minutes only. Who on earth came up with such antediluvian thinking? When I did try to use the service on the Pride of York, it was running at less than 1MB a second. It took longer than 30 minutes to download a newspaper! A truly awful service.

"Booking cancelled at last minute "
The original booking to Bruges was cancelled with very little notice despite Luther travel arrangements being made such as accommodation. This added another two hours to an already long drive. It is also very worth mentioning our return crossing 5 weeks later was also cancelled with just a few days notice causing great inconvenience.

This was first trip on the ferry from Hull. Booked the winter crossing with some trepidation, but there was no need to be concerned. We had a spacious club cabin fitting the 5 of us in easily. Buffet dinner looked great (although we had brought a picnic) and the all you can eat breakfast was v civilised. A great way to start our holidays. Thank you P&O.

"Cabins? Great. Other things less so."
Outward was fine... except for the food which was at best lacklustre. Inward my cabin was fantastic. Double plus bunks. Only me in it. Sadly the enjoyment was taken away by unruly children running up and down corridors until well past 10pm. The same happened with one of my trips last year too, which was why I chose the club class. In a quieter part of the ship apparently. There seemed to be no policing by crew. Regrettable. My advice? Book club class for the room quality. But don't expect a quiet evening.

We travelled as 2 couples to Zeebrugge on the Pride of York. The buffet dinner is great quality and the staff do a fantastic job. We returned on the Pride of Bruge and found this to be slightly better service if that can be possible. On the downside we found disembarking to be slow but this is obviously a logistical issue that a guest may not full understand. Overall P&O really offer a good service.

"New experience on a different route"
We tried this route to Hull as an Experiment, and to compare with the normal trip to Dover. On board there was obviously a Little confusion with finding the Right deck and "keys" to the cabin. Good to see that we were not alone. Next time we´ll know. The corridors are too narrow for passengers with varied Hand baggage, disabilities and small Children. But the club cabin gave a positive Impression, with welcoming Drinks and a (dismal) view of the port. The beds were comfy and apart from myself, we all slept well, despite the choppy Crossing. The evening meal was quite good but spoiled by some staff who showed no interest in beckoning Hands of guests. I was not alone and was able to share smiles with other dissatisfied guests. Even the man behind the serving counter simply threw our gammon onto our plates. Just like School dinners. Breakfast was much better….doing everything yourself. For the Money nowadays it was good value, considering the multiple choices of dishes on offer. It reminded us of Basil´s "Communication Problems" in Fawlty Towers. Some staff were brilliant and others indifferent. But communication Needs to be improved, just as with a Football Team.

"Regular traveller from Hull to Zeebrugge."
I regularly travel via P&O from Hull to Zeebrugge and have always had a good trip. Only problem seems to be trying to board through the chaotic and seemingly inept process before boarding run by the port bods. Recently went through the extra security check, got waved through, I slowed to ask a person there if this was correct, got blanked then on the way out heard a load of shouts to stop. Idiots should make drivers fully aware of where to go and what to do as it was my first time in that situation. My beef over, the ferries are always well presented and all of the staff willing and waiting to help with a friendly smile. Food is good, and plenty of facilities to have a relaxing evening whether you want quiet or music, coffee or alcohol. We only use the basic rooms as we just want to sleep there, but they are a bit tight and using the ladder for the upper bunk is getting more difficult and awkward for me so what I do now is pull the mattress, with sheet, down onto the floor and kip there. In the morning just bung it up again.

First time travelling between Hull Zeebrugge and return and it was a very good trip. Slept well in the cabin which although small are fairly comfortable. The food in the kitchen was good both for dinner and breakfast we booked these as part of the package.

So we bought the necessary items and are asking for a refund if the pack price. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable trip.

We were on the Pride of Bruge both outbound and inbound. Cabins are small but ideal for what you need for one night. Everything is there just very compact. We had an inside 2 berth. We haven't been on the ships since 2016 and the disappointing thing for us was the cinema has been taken away. We used to like having a nice meal and then go and watch a movie. We did still have a nice meal in the Brasserie but then went and had a drink in the bar rather than watch a film. The two drivers in our party opted for soft drinks as we had a long drive ahead of us the next day. So we would have rather have watched a film. Staff are very friendly and courteous and very professional.

Every crew member had a great ‘can do’ attitude and were very attentive to our needs. As a family of five (three children under 12 we booked a five Berth club cabin which really was fantastic. We ate in the ‘kitchen’ restaurant on a D&B package which was great value. Our 7 yeear old has a nut and dairy allergy and it would be nice to see a little more recognition of for those with such food allergies by providing clearer guidance on contents eg was the chicken basted in butter and to provide an alternative to milk for breakfast cereals.

"Great Vessel. Nice and clean, at least when I was aboard. Staff are friendly and competent."
The ship herself has a certain charm; the Japan built "Pride of Bruges," former "Norsun" is a vessel of decent decor and spacious interior. The food is pricey but it seems to be of good quality. I can't speak of the dinner buffet but the breakfast had quite a few options, many though its not clear were vegetarian options, as there is no labelling to indicate so. It would be great if there was a symbol on the item's card to say if it was vegetarian, or vegan. The cabin was practical, efficient and hygienic. As a single traveller, I have nothing to complain about; if I were sharing that cabin, it may have felt a little small. There are two things I would have liked to have seen. One was a detailed specification of the ship and a smoke free open deck, perhaps one of the two passenger accessible decks to be smoke free - some of us go outside for some fresh air.

My trip from Hull By P&O was yet again a pleasure. for me it is the best way to travel to the continent. However! I ended up in Rotterdam!! Apparently we arrived late at checkin, ok our fault! That being the case it seems apparent that we were put on the Rotterdam ferry by default so that at least we got to the continent, ok fine with me! This was not realised until we docked in Rotterdam. I contacted Direct ferries who told me that the port authrity in Hull explaiend this to me upon checkin and this was recorded. I have requested a transcript of said recording, this will not be forthcoming as no such contact was made. By not being made aware of the change of circumstances of arriving in Holland I was denied the opportunity to ammend my arrangements for onward travel and , more importantly my insurance became invalid. I hasten to say that I believe this was no fault of P&O ferries and the problem was between Direct ferries and the port of Hull authorities Regards Peter Duffy

The representative I spoke to to rearrange my crossing initially offered an inferior cabin to the one we paid for. Then gave us what we paid for. No apology and no gesture to compensate us for the additional cast and inconvenience. As a regular traveller this was very disappointing.

Very pleasant journey, even though the sea was very rough. All the staff very helpful, always smiling and very efficient. The food was of a high quality and lots of different choices of menu. The cabin was comfortable with extra pillows provided on request. Nice warm shower in the morning. The singer in the lounge bar was very relaxing and chilled out , just what was needed.

"my journey with P&O Ferries"
the staff were highly competent and very friendly and efficient. I upgraded to club class on the return journey and thought the facilities and the appointment of the cabin with tea and coffee making facilities was extremely good and the beds were very comfortable and I had a very good nights sleep. On the outward journey we had a superior outside cabin and although not as luxurious it was again comfortable bright an d very clean. Both nights we eat in the restaurant and thought the meal was of quite a good standard.Altogether both journeys were very comfortable and enjoyable and I will definitely travel with P&O ferries in the future

"Best Way to Europe from The North"
North Sea crossing: very handy just to be able to board, relax, have a meal and a snooze and wake up at port destination. Beats the drive down to Dover any day! The grub is as good as it gets onboard ship, and the table wine is fairly priced. The cabins are rather small, but very clean and fit for purpose. The top bunk is for the agile. All lounges are comfy and clean. Staff always helpful and friendly. Boarding/disembarkation, partly governed by border formalities, takes a little longer than the short crossings. On a recent Dover crossing, my wife missed not being able to head straight away for our cabin and put her feet up! I've been using these ships since they came into service nearly thirty years ago.

"Will use this route and company again."
Loved the fact that you could stay in your cabin up until being called to your car. Other ferry journeys I’ve taken, you’re forced to leave the cabin so that cleaning can start, over an hour before you dock. Which means you are also woken ridiculously early. However, even after paying for an upgrade to premium class, there was no TV provided in the cabin. Which are standard even on shorter routes on other ferries. Overall a good journey, with a comfortable bed in a clean cabin.

We booked a standard 4 berth cabin, as we always do for the two of us,because we are unable to climb to the top bunk. The cabin we were given first, red deck, was pretty noisy with a high pitched whirring noise from the ventilation system. We use these Ferries quite often for and it wasn’t the usual sound. The receptionist was very helpful and found us a cabin on blue deck, which was quiet, but really cold! It was impossible to adjust the heating/ventilation. Apart from this issue, the usual uneventful crossing. It was apparent immediately by the way that the ferry had had a refit. Good job! The shower and loo was very clean, and had definitely lost the usual urine smell!

Duty free shops are just shops, forget any idea of actually duty free prices as the ship sails totally in EU waters.

This was our third year of using this crossing. The food has vastly improved and we had a lovely evening meal and breakfast. Cabin was comfortable. We had booked a premium cabin but it was too close to a noisy children's area so we were offered another which also had a very noisy generator opposite, then finally were given a quiet window cabin. The staff were very helpful as I was a little unwell at first after a long drive from South of France. Shopping experience is fine although it would be nice to see more 'local' produce such as French wines, Yorkshire produce, Belgian produce. Good selection of perfumes and make up. Nice to have a cafe for coffee and snacks. We enjoyed pizza and hot dog on the way out. Shame the cinema has gone as an alternative entertainment. The entertainment in the bar is average - children's show, cabaret, bingo. Wouldn't bother with a premium cabin as those further away are quieter and the only difference we could really see was premium is slightly larger and shower room has a tray rather than a wet room. A lovely way to travel to and from continent if you are from North - easy to board, check in, food good, nice to wake up and you are there.

Having experienced well priced and good children's meal deal options on other crossings, this was disappointing.

Furthemore the bar area is completely walk through and hordes of people traipsed back and forth making it impossible to quietly relax.with a coffee. People waiting to be served at the bar were making jokes about how all the items on the counter were shaking from the vibration. Finally for two hours in the evening we were treated to a school bus party running around and shouting in the cabin area with a limp teacher ineffectually shsssing them until I intervened more directly and asked her to do something concrete.

Excellent buffet dinner but breakfast was not good - had to wait for bacon and 2 coffee machines not working. Altogether a bit rushed and not up to the usual standard. My real gripe is with the pricing. We had to pay £370 for a single journey for 2 adults and a motorhome, cabin and meals whilst there were several parties on board who had paid next to nothing for a two night stay with meals and cabin included.

Direct Ferries advised us to re-book on the Amsterdam crossing, but those booked through P&O were given priority leaving us with no other choice but to cancel and re-book from Dover to Calais. As we live in South West Scotland this was not ideal, but the only option at such short notice. We have used Hull-Zeebrugge many times and have always enjoyed the trip and I understand that the ships have been upgraded and would have been all too happy to travel that way again. Will think seriously about booking directly with P&O next time, as they look after people booked directly in preference to those booked through a third party.

The evening meal in the a la carte restaurant was very good and reasonable value and the cabins are compact, comfy and cleverly designed - if a bit hot!

The cabin was clean and tidy only let down was the mattress was a bit tired a nice smooth crossing. On our way home a different cabin and the mattress was very comfy again the docks area was well signed and easy to find

"Traversee Zeebrugge Hull"
Why did we pay an additional 20 pounds when we booked The price was 179 pounds we were required to tick the box and we were under the impression that it was for a facility like early boarding, free WiFi as we normally received from other companies I feel 20 pounds for fresh air or sea air is a bit expensive. Would recommend to friends but would advise them not to pay the 10 pounds per passenger extra.

"Holiday Trip to France"
We holiday in France every year, normally we drive to Folkestone and stay overnight and then take the car on the Eurotunnel train next morning, this year we though we would try the Hull to Zeebrugge P&O Ferry, as it is only one hour's drive to Hull from York instead of the normal four and half hour's drive to Folkestone. We are glad we made the change as it was brilliant and very relaxing, we boarded the ferry, located our cabin and then booked a table in the restaurant before sitting down in one of the lounges with a drink. After an excellent meal we again relaxed in one of the lounges before turning in for the night, and although the cabins only have bunk beds we found them surprising comfortable, so we both had a good nights sleep. After a good breakfast next morning we disembarked in Zeebrugge and went on our way to France, we are very glad we chose this way to travel and will certainly do this again next year.

"Pity about the small dining room"
The Hull - Rotterdam route is serviced by newer and larger ferries than Hull - Zeebrugge, with faster and easier loading of cars (no queues), larger cabins and public areas. However the dining facilities are cramped and badly laid out, with less choice subsequently. I suspect that to get a decent meal you would have to go ala carte. We far prefer Hull - Zeebrugge, and only sailed to Rotterdam because on our chosen day of travel it was the only one running.

We had a recent trip to Bruges from Hull. Staff friendly and helpful. We had an inside cabin for the time to our surprise it was much bigger than outside cabins although no window! Breakfast in The Kitchen restaurant has improved greatly from the last time we traveled. Sea was calm and sunny in Bruges. Lots to do and see. Well worth the trip

Travelled Hull to Zeebrugge and back on the Pride of York/Brugges and lived up to expectations. Ships are the former Hull/Rotterdam models and in some lights the exteriors look a little aged now although interiors have been upgraded. Service up to expectations as was catering.

"good experience"
From arriving at the dock at Hull,it was the start of a very good holiday. The staff were very courteous, nothing was too much trouble for them. Cabins are comfortable and clean. Plenty of choice for food, which was served hot! Able to move around the ferry without being crowded. I have travelled many time's on this route, on my own, but this time I shared it with friends and they really enjoyed it and compared it to the many cruises they have been on and stated it is on par for comfort,food, facilities and the help from the staff.

"All Aboard!"
We had a smooth crossing overnight there and back, the staff were helpful when needed, extra bed bars were provided upon request for children. Dinner was nice, but pricey for what it was, still, the snack bar was sufficient if you didn't want dinner. Kids area could do with more in it, it's more like a padded cell than a play room! One point should be that there was no mention when booking that pregnant ladies over 28 weeks are not allowed to sail without a doctors note, by chance we just didn't need one, but a week later and it could have ruined our holiday.

"Another fabulous trip"
What a great start and finish to our short holiday. Although quite a bit smaller than the Hull to Rotterdam ferries, the ferry is clean and comfortable and the staff are friendly. The cabin was small but spotlessly clean with comfy bunks. This time we opted to dine and breakfast on board. The food was of good quality and there was a large variety of different dishes to choose from, plus you can eat as much as you like! The bars and coffee lounge were pleasant places to pass some of the time and we even enjoyed a sunny evening on deck on the way back home.

"Excellent experience"
The ferry terminal was well signposted and easy to find. Ticket collection was swift and once on board collection of cabin keys was simple. Cabin was clean and very comfortable just maybe a little stuffy with 4 people in. Food on board was good quality in the bistro with good choice and excellent service on the outward journey. We opted to take the special offer dinner and breakfast on the return and found the great value and very reasonable quality food and , once again, great service. Only down side was the long wait to get through passport check leaving Hull coming home which took over an hour to get through but this was no fault of the ferry company and more to do with the state of the nation at the moment. Overall excellent.

It was the first time we had done this trip and were very impressed with the efficiency of all levels of staff , from helping us board, dining room experience and entertainment. My son and his family are stationed in Belgium for two years so we will be using Direct Ferries at least three times a year. We are traveling in August with my 80 year old mother so hope we have as good experience as we did in May. All crew members we came in contact with were pleasant and helpful,and very professional. Looking forward to our next trip. Many thanks

There was 3 of us traveling across to Amsderdam. The start of the journey went abit downhill as there was no signs for the mult-story car park and we drove back into hull and then back to then ask someone, if only we had drove towards the boat we would have seen it (im sure other people have done this too) the ferry was well marked out on board, there was lots of things to do inc the band that was great. we have no other complaints re our journey other than the parking.

"Trip across the waters "
Recently crossed from Hull to Zeebrugge on The Pride of Bruges. I actually sailed on her 27 years ago when she was brand new. This time I was with my wife and mother-in-law heading to France. This was a fantastic crossing, hardly any movement with the waves. The entertainment was great, as were the bars and coffee shop. Staff in duty free shops were extremely helpful and pleasant. We opted for the breakfast and dinner booking when I booked the trip, you were also given the option on board to pay. The food was really good, lots to chose from with buffet selection which was eat as much as you like, tea, coffee, juices, water all included. Overall a very pleasant trip and I would certainly do it again with P&O, and easy to book through Direct Ferries.

"Hull to Zeebrugge crossing"
We sailed in August 2015. In comparison with last year's trip (with another ferry company who shall remain nameless!!), we really were in the lap of luxury! The cabins and beds were comfortable, though the bathrooms could have been a little bigger for extra comfort. The restaurant was fairly priced and the food was better than some restaurants we've been to! The waiters and staff in general, we're both friendly and professional and went out of their way to be helpful. There was plenty on the ferry to keep us occupied in our waking hours. In general it was a very pleasant experience and a great way to kick start our holiday. We'll done P and O! We would definitely use you again and recommend you to family and friends.
