"Excellent trip!"
We were quite surprised when we discovered the size of our Club Cabin: it was larger than expected and was excellent value for our family of 5! We have appreciated the two windows with sea view, the comfortable bathroom with shower and large towels, the minibar and the good beds. Food in ‘the Kitchen’ was also better than expected. Both for diner and breakfast we found buffets with offering a very wide choice of tasty food. Our 3 children loved it!

"Very Smooth"
Getting on board in Hull was very quick and efficient. Crew were all very friendly and helpful. Food and service in the a la Carte restaurant was good. Entertainment in the lounge bar was also good. Breakfast in the buffet restaurant was quite good. A bit of a delay once we got off at Zeebrugge going through passport control. On return the port area seemed a bit disorganised and we went through two passport checks. However, once onboard again the crew were friendly and helpful. Food again was good, and Dave Dove was good entertainment in the lounge bar. Again a delay of an hour going through passport control. The Ships and crews were great, the Ports just need to get themselves sorted out and the whole thing would be a much better experience.

"A convenient way to cross to the continent from the North instead of going to Dover"
P&O Ferries run a very well organised service to Zeebrugge from Hull. The ship is clean and tidy and the staff are friendly and helpful. We have travelled most year on this route and have noticed the prices have increased considerable which makes for significant extra holiday expense but the convenience of travelling to Hull instead of Dover for the crossing is the balancing factor.

"Bruges trip"
Two complaints. Why was I charged €47 euros for a bottle of gin priced at £35. Literally taking the public for a ride. To save the utter confusion when we disembarked a sticker with P&O on the windscreen is all it would take. Other than that the trip was good

"The crew are heroes"
We have always enjoyed doing the Hull-Zeebrugge and Hull-Rotterdam sailing but last night was extraordinary. My husband had a medical emergency onboard, it was late at night and we were both really worried, but the amount of care, attention, support and kindness we got from the crew was unbelievable and they’ve done everything in their power to help us at night and proactively came to check us in the morning as well. Their medical training and knowledge is excellent. Our special thanks go to Anushka, Steve and Cameron, please tell them they are our heroes. We are okay now. Thank you!

"Hull/Zeebrugge crossing."
This is the only company that will take us from Zeebrugge to Hull return. We have been very lucky with calm crossings for the last few years, at all times of the year. The staff are outstanding, calm, curtious, & helpful. Our cabin (Club) has always been fairly clean, cool, & quiet. Bedding & towels good. The food is not brilliant, but just about adequate. The food needs more seasoning. The prawns taste like bags of water. Please can we have brown/granary toast. The Linguini was excellent. The Chocolate/Coffee cake last evening looked beautiful but tasted of nothing. The Duty free shop staff were very, very helpful.

"Satisfied customer"
We normally travel to France using the Channel Tunnel and this was our first time using the ferry to Europe, it takes a little more time to board etc but once you aboard everything is very relaxed. Overall we enjoyed the experience the only slight mar was that the return voyage was quite rough and both my wife and myself felt the effects, it is quite an old ship perhaps a newer ship would not have the stability issues we suffered.

"Just what we expected."
We have used this route many times and found it to be very good. Car deck parking is fast and efficient. The ship is always punctual, clean & sweet smelling, with very curtious staff (although difficult to understand at times). We always travel club class and found it to be comfortable, spacious and has coffee/tea making facilities, plus wines and soft drinks in the fridge. Sometimes the bathrooms can be a little worn and small. The ships catering is okay, quite palatable but lacks flavour. We have not used the entertainments.

This time we had a really relaxing journey. Even tough it was end of November, the sea was very calm. We had the most beautiful Christmas dinner on board with a first class service.
