"Pride of Rotterdam "
Travelled out on pride of hill Travelled back pride of Rotterdam 2nd ship much better service in brasserie Good ferry experience
"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.
"A great trip!"
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.
"Visit zeebrugge"
Enjoyed my trip cabin was good would of liked more info on my table what was available to eat.
"Disappointed "
I booked to go with Direct Ferries as I though the price was excellent. I was soon to be disappointed upon my arrival at Hull terminal. I was informed I had no transfer booked to get to Bruges and I would have to pay extra to do so. The lady asked if I'd booked with Direct Ferries as they often do this. Needless to say I wont be using them again
"Service"
Easy to find straight on ship no dramas at all thoroughly enjoyable trip
"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.
"Fantastic service"
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.
"Friendly"
It was a very good experience. Staff & Crew were friendly. The prices at duty free was very good. Pleasant experience both side of boarding. Thank you. Edward
"Best way to get to the North"
Travelled on this route at least twice a year, I've also travelled Newcastle/Amsterdam and many times on the tunnel. This is the most relaxing, value for money method when visiting Lancashire and the border control here is the absolute best compared to every other operator in the UK that I have passed through.
"Zeebrugge to Hull"
The Club Class cabin was cold - no effective way to alter thermostats that did not break Health & Safety legislation. The cabin was noisy especially during the night.
"Trip to Bruges"
First time we'd taken a holiday like this instead of flying. Was a good experience. Easy process of parking and getting on board. Facilities on ferry very good: decent restaurants and bars. Not overcrowded. Cabin (club class) was spacious and comfortable
"Brilliant time on the ferries "
Had an amazing time with amazing friends. Lovely staff on board. Great entertainment from the singer's. Only one down side to the trip on the way back, someone who new the singers, told us all we where miserable B_______ for not clapping the singers, when we where.
"Check you have coach transfers......"
Please check very carefully when booking with Direct Ferries. Only discovered on checking in at Hull that return coach transfers from Zeebrugge to Bruges were NOT included. Extra £28 added to the cost and not mentioned anywhere on the online booking form. Rest of trip was fine.....
"Hull to bruges"
Bruges
"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.
"Excellent"
Lovely club class cabins and excellent meal in the Brasserie
"our escape to Scotland ..."
we were very happy to go to Hull with P&O Ferries. everything was perfect: nice cabin, good foof, nice crew. we will certainly recommand P&O
"Great value "
Easy to book, excellent price
"Hull to zebrugge"
Cheery staff in Hull. Smiling staff on board. Happy Friday night travellers enjoying the cruise. Altogether a pleasant voyage
"Home trip from Europe "
Usual good food in the Kitchen. Particularly good entertainment from double act of guitarist and vocalist in the lounge. Spoilt a bit by noisy youths in cabin next door overnight. Result was driver feeling very tired for the home drive due to disturbed night. German students in room 1042 responsible for the noise.
"Return Hull / Rotterdam"
We had a great trip both ways. Entertainment was very good. We'll go club cabin next time. Food was okay had fish n Chips in the pay a bit more restaurant and they weren't very good.

"Comfortable crossing with suportive staff, shame about the room!"
We enjoyed our crossing to Zeebrugge and back on the Pride of Bruges. The staff were friendly and supportive and the crossing comfortable. The rooms are cramped (it is almost impossible for two people to move around at the same time - we had to take turns changing at night and dressing in the morning). We dined in the Brasserie on the way out and were disappointed in the quality and cost of the food and drink for the price we paid - we would not dine there on a future crossing.
"FERRY"
BOOKED WITH DIRECT FERRYS, all ok except we got the worst cabin on board both ways, booked a standard cabin as have in the past when booking with P and O direct but cabin always been inside along corridor and been ok for one night, but this was sideways to corridor and tiny, we got an upgrade on way home on the ferry for £25, must give third party bookings the dog kennels, everything else good
"Overnight crossing"
Pleased with the service we received onboard but a little disappointed with the breakfast the evening meal in the kitchen restaurant was really nice and I would recommend it
"Ferry Crossing "
The ferry was dated and the staff were not as friendly as previous experience going to Rotterdam. The room upgrade was good bigger and more space well worth the extra £16. The shower room on the return journey was dirty and have obtained photographs for customer service. The entertainment on thecreturn journey was far better than going, however the DJ was better vice versa as was the staff friendless
"Brilliant"
BRILLIANT SHIP,BRILLIANT CREW ESPECIALLY TECH GENIUS AT STARBUCKS WHO WAS A STAR FIXING WIFI
"Well done"
Enjoyed the crossings both ways. Cabins were clean. All the crew were polite & efficient. A flat calm sea also helped.
"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.
"Pride of Bruges"
The food was excellent,a huge choice ,the staff were helpful and very efficient, the cabin was very clean,looking forward to my next trip.
"P&o ferry"
Extremely enjoyed our experience. Food was good and value for money and service from staff is impeccable. Rooms are clean and fresh towels daily Would definitely travel again with P&O
"4th trip and will definitely do again! "
