The loading and unloading on the return trip spoiled the experience. We arrived at check in at 5.30 and finally got on board at 8. We watched all other lanes load and the early people did not move which resulted in deck 7 and then had to wait until 9 pm before we could eat as no room in restaurant. Then found out on deck 7 there was a problem with unloading and took 2.5 hours to leave boat and port and late for work. Really poor

"Nice crossing, terrible getting to and from"
The ferry crossing from Rotterdam to Hull was excellent -- highly recommended! Unlike getting from Rotterdam station to the port and back: There is only a shuttle bus for the 35km drive that seemingly needs to be booked in advance, which we (among others) weren't aware of. This left us and two English blokes (cheers to you!) having to share a superexpensive taxi (120 €) because we weren't given any seats on the bus. On the return we were told to be able to purchase the shuttle tickets on the ship, which was also written on the P&O website...The problem was: This was not possible and crew told us that this hasn't been possible for 2 years! This led to another very pricey taxi-trip. Two more people who HAD pre-booked the shuttle weren't even on the bus driver's list and were lucky to somehow get on the bus last minute...So PLEASE, P&O, do something about this!!!

"Be prepared"
Depends on what you are looking for from a ferry trip. Is it a means to an end or do you want it to be an enjoyable experience at the beginning and end to your trip. If it’s the former then fine, you get a clean bed in a tiny cabin and your own shower room and wc. You can get food and drink onboard and there is some entertainment. If you want an altogether more enjoyable time then please bear in mind that although you have your own cabin the noise and vibration from the engines will interrupt your sleep. There are two places to eat, The Brassiere and The Kitchen, we tried both. The Brassiere is much more expensive but the food doesn’t match the price difference. The steak was tough, chips just frozen ones reheated although my husbands chicken was nicer tbh. I chose the Bakewell tart and pastry was so hard I had to break it with my fingers. I may have been unlucky. The return journey we chose the buffet style Kitchen which was much better! Enjoyed the meal and desserts were delicious. If you are in a group take a pack of cards or a game to while away the evening, those who did looked like they were having far more fun than those listening to the entertainment. Will we go this route again? Probably but will try and compensate for the shortcomings with lessons learned…

Only live 20 miles from Hull so felt like holiday started very quickly. On arrival at port, although not clear where to go/what to do, there were other cars to follow and checking covid passes/country locator forms and passports was quick and efficient, then straight on board. Only about 10 cars already on board to find we’d been upgraded to a spacious disabled room (from a v small standard bunk room) which I paid to upgrade on the return journey. Plenty of staff on board, all were polite and efficient. We hadn’t pre booked a meal but paid £22.50 pp to choose anything from their ample selection of starters, mains, puds, cheese, tea/coffee/water…a feast if that’s what you wanted! Duty free spirits good offers, not so good in perfumes but good selection. Bar on deck 8 was good but v loud when singer was on.. there was also a quiz held there too. Disabled room was fab and spacious. If available, it’s well worth the £15 upgrade. Not double bed but 2 singles with bunks above if required. Tea and coffee facilities, tv and large shower room with loo and sink, all very clean. Didn’t sleep that well as just a few rumbles, rocking and car alarms on occasion but comfortable and clean. There’s a wake up call an hour before docking. Journey is about 12 hours. Woke up quite refreshed. There’s breakfast available and there’s also a separate coffee bar too. (Starbucks I think) but didn’t have either. Overall, I wd definitely consider this again over diving 4 hours to channel tunnel which was more exp. We went to France and Rotterdam is only about 100km further.

"A good option"
Our crossing (2 persons+car) costed about EUR 250 in a cabin with a window. It is more expensive than a flight for two but (a) you cannot take a car on the plane and (b) it is so much more relaxed than going through all the airport hassle. The cabin was very nice, I would compare it to a small 3+ star hotel room. The ferry is full of opportunities to have a good time. The (prepaid) breakfast could be better: both the variety and the way it was served were far from perfect, perhaps due to the COVID restrictions, so next time we will probably either pack our own breakfast or go to one of the a-la-carte places on board. The company was also kind enough to organise COVID testing (mandatory to enter Netherlands) in Hull port, at better price than in most places in the UK. Overall good impression, totally worth the money paid

This is a fabulous service if you want easy access to the UK Midlands, and not too expensive (dependent on the package you choose). Leave Rotterdam or Hull in the evening.

Embarking and disembarking on both the outbound and return journeys is very quick and efficient. "Duty Free" shops are cost-effective when stocking up on your wine and spirits. NOTE: make sure you budget to spend a minimum additional GBP80 for COVID testing, and make sure you read the current requirements BOTH Nations. It was very handy (GBP36.00) to have the testing available at the P&O terminal in Hull for the return journey to Rotterdam. All in all, very satisfied with the whole experience.

"Above average ferry crossings"
The departure and arrival times were exactly as advertised (did we leave from Hull slightly early?). The four-berth cabin was a squeeze for three adults. The toilet & shower on the Pride of Rotterdam looked like they had been fairly cursorily cleaned - a deep clean is necessary. No soap in the dispenser, but even when it was replaced very speedily, it was difficult to get anything substantial out of it. As non-meat eaters, the options in the buffet restaurant were limited so we chose not to eat there. However, the staff were happy to let us in before it officially opened so we could make an informed decision. The food in the Brasserie restaurant was pretty good and you pay for the individual items on the menu, important if you want to eat lightly or you have diet restrictions. Coach transfer information to Amsterdam and Rotterdam on the P&O website needs to be far clearer, there's simply not enough of it. We went to Amsterdam first and came back through Rotterdam - the information on the website is that the pick-up is on Kruisplein, which is clearly wrong. After some time trying to find it unsuccessfully, the correct information turned out to be on the ticket stub. Stand HH in bus station next to rail station.

Especially enjoyed watching Charles in the sky lounge who is a fantastic piano player and should definately have been on the main stage as I wasn't particularly impressed with the band which were the main stage entertainment. He played amazing songs all with no music to read and is an asset to the brand P&O you must go watch him if he is playing on the boat when you go on your trip.

"Bring a packed tea!"
We had a smooth sailing but were expecting to be able to have a canteen-style evening meal on board. We had such a meal at lunchtime on our day crossing from Hook of Holland to Harwich. Unfortunately only buffet-style or 'fine' dining were available on the Hull-Rotterdam crossing, or a sandwich or pizza from the cafe. Our 4-berth inside cabin was plenty big enough for the three of us. If we had checked beforehand and knew that the lower bunks could also be stowed away, we would have brought our travel cot into the cabin. Our daughter enjoyed the children's entertainment and the play area.

I would also advise travellers to bring ear plugs - was woken multiple times on Sunday morning by car alarms which I presume were set off by staff taking alcohol to cars, which was another bugbear - you couldn’t just buy alcohol and take it away - you either had to have it delivered to your car or pick it up the following morning.

The ship was very comfortable, offering a very good food and beverage service en route. Note, however, the prices are in English pounds and although they do accept Euro, it isn’t a favourable conversion rate, so my recommendation would be to have pounds available, if possible. The cabin was spotless, as was the linen/towels. The buffet breakfast was comprehensive and fresh, although at €32 for two, it was rather expensive. We found all the service staff and the P&O support staff, both on the ground and at the port, very courteous, efficient and helpful. We would use this service again.

This was the worst trip I have ever had on a P&O ferry. The nasty little youths who decided to jump up and down on the Sky Lounge floor whilst drink made sleep impossible. The constant trips past my door to go and have a smoke had all sorts of shouting/swearing going on until the small hours, mainly by young women. Signs asking to be quiet after 22.00 hrs made no difference. One loutish Irish lad was reminded by his co party that people were trying to sleep to which he replied " I could not give a FXXXXX". P&O should patrol the areas outside the cabins and stop loutish behaviour. We all pay the same, after all, shame on you P&O. The food I was then presented with in the main Restaurant was a greasy tasteless fish and chips, the peas were also tasteless. I was very disappointed and will not repeat the Restaurant experience ever again.

"Hull-Rotterdam ferry and v.v."
Smooth and easy process of passport control, room key/meal pass issue, boarding, parking on car-deck. Think we arrived in Hull around 17:30 and no queue at all. On return aimed to beat rush hour in 'Randstad' conglomeration and arrived just after 16:00, then boarded at 17:00. Small queue of around 15 cars ahead of us, no problem at all. Departure appeared ahead of scheduled time, arrival punctual, both ways. No hassle and though expensive at time of travel (school holidays) prefer this to drive/fly/ car hire+drive or train experience for same journey to/from north of Netherlands; much more relaxing if longer of course. Cabins are small but cosy, clean and tidy. Comfortable bunk beds and small but good quality bathroom with powerful shower. Meals (pre-booked) were fine; quick seat allocation, buffet style with plenty of choice for both evening meal and breakfast. No haute-cuisine but perfectly adequate and enjoyable as well as plentiful. Looking forward to using ferry again, although perhaps in cheaper season when possible.

Bigger and slightly smarter than Pride of Hull (though we liked that too). The cabin felt a tiny bit more roomy and the bathroom was better - we appreciated an actual shower tray. Very convenient getting cabin keys at check-in and driving straight on to the ship (not sure if this is standard on this route or due to our arrival time - 18:30ish). Coffee shop brilliantly located just a few feet from the kids' play area, which was a big hit with our 3-year-old - the play area was quite small, though, so could get busy in the school hols. The best part of the experience was the really lovely staff, who were more visible and proactive than on Pride of Hull (greeting us on each deck; directing us straight away - v handy as it's such a big ship!) and especially friendly to our little boy. When we asked coffee shop staff for a cup of milk at bedtime they even let us have it for free. The only niggle is that it was more difficult to found our way around than on Pride of Hull - we got lost on the way back to our cabin a couple of times - and access to the outer decks is not obvious and more limited. But all in all another very positive experience and we would happily take this route again.

"Use of the cabin classification PREMIER on your P & O booking pro-forma"
I regard the use of the word PREMIER as referring to the top grade of cabins. My wife and I always use the CLUB cabins on our travels to and from Hull, as these provide our demanded quality of accommodation. However, we found that booking PREMIER meant that we were allocated a lower grade (than CLUB) cabin in both directions of our recent crossings, which we found totally unacceptable. Fortunately we were able to upgrade (at expense) to CLUB cabins in both directions, something that we found to be an unnecessary and unwelcome chore in the process of boarding. Perhaps you would remind P & O that the word PREMIER means the topmost grade of cabin, and recommend that they alter their booking pro-forma accordingly. Yours John D Broadley 11/06/2018

We're less than 2 hours from Hull and the price was within what we could afford. I'll be honest, I hate boats. I got sea-sick snorkelling in the Med.

The entertainment was a bonus. On the way home, the ferry was filled with teenagers on school trips. Our cabin was noisy but the staff moved us without any fuss to a quieter area.

Excellent temperature control in the cabin. Dining room seemed a little cramped compared to the Hull-Zeebrugge crossing, maybe a smaller ship, but quality and choice of food was excellent, although could have been a bit hotter.. Service in the restaurant first class as always. Although ship didn't depart until 830 pm, we were allowed on board with our motorhome as soon as we got there, which was before 5 pm. Unfortunately, our motorhome broke down within a mile of leaving the ship in Rotterdam and after calling our breakdown service, decided to return home. We managed to change our booking for a nominal fee and P&O were extremely helpful in helping us get the vehicle back on board to return on the same ship we had just come in on and again, in allowing us to be first of the ship back in Hull.

On Arrival at hull, it could be clearer where to start queuing. instinct is to pull into the coach area and walk into reception. Could be beneficial to issue a time when you are allowed to arrive to start queuing via text message (I understand all journeys vary this is fair enough). I know it is 90 minutes prior as the latest to check in, but what is the earliest you can check in? Could do with A bit more information about what you are allowed and what you need to take to your room from your car. eg. how many bags are allowed, food, drinks, passports required? Not everyone knows how to disarm their car alarm. a bit of warning about this would be better before the journey so drivers can look into this at home instead of being rushed off the car deck. The value of the meals was fantastic. the staff in the kitchen are so polite. the coffee was really good quality. The standard of the entertainment was good. very good singers. kids loved it. When staying in cabin class, an explanation that the mini bar is included in price would have been good. The actual experience was fantastic. When we go again we will enjoy it more as we will be more organised. A bit more info for first time car travellers is needed I think. we travelled in the middle of a thunder storm. it was spectacular. the lightening was lighting up our room. the kids loved it. one of the kids asked if the lightening would hit us. I was really interested to find out more about what would happen in this scenario. what conductors are on board and what safety measures are in place for this. For example- we took towels to our rooms. but towels were provided. We know for next time. maybe we were just a bit dim! can't wait to go again, so you must be doing it well.

"Wonderful"
Clear instructions at port. Entertainment an unexpected delight, the team put on something for everyone and was professionally executed.

"Great experience"
Was very impressed with our trip. So much that we really looked forward to the end of our holiday to enjoy the return trip. My expectations were not high for the basic cabin for four but although compact it had everything needed for a night on board. The shower was great and the beds comfy. Staff on board were all helpful and a blocked toilet (our fault) was dealt with within half hour and an offer to change rooms if we had wanted to. Excellent experience hope to go again.

"Accomodation"
More staff available when trying to find the cabin as with such a large no it can be very confusing Other than that no problems. Maybe more signs would help . We always enjoy our crossing and look forward to booking again for next year.

"Great way to travel, few minor grumbles"
I travel this route with my family a few times a year and it is a relaxing, enjoyable and stress free way of making the crossing. I'd certainly recommend it. Just a couple of things from this last trip worth pointing out. Mattress was sort of U shaped and not very comfortable. Whats the replacement frequency? We bought dinner tickets in advance as always but, again as always, we were greeted with slight confusion by the staff because we prefer to pay the extra and eat in the brasserie. I wish you would make this clear both on the website and to your staff. One of them was actually quite rude to us about it. Why can't we buy a dinner ticket in advance for the brasserie? And I cut my hand on the shower head in the morning as it had a horrible sharp bit of plastic on it. Otherwise no complaints, we'll almost certainly sail again.

"Small kitchen?"
Everything was great, except that on our return journey from Rotterdam. We unfortunately didn't book a place in a restaurant, and were told that we could only get a place at a table late because the ferry was full and the kitchen was too small! One would have thought that the kitchen would have been built to feed a full ferry! Silliest excuse I have heard in a long time. The small cafetieria had run out of food as well. Otherwise all fine.

"Good Trip"
We live in York so taking this ferry is the most convenient way for us to reach the continent. The timings are very good (late evening departures and morning arrivals at reasonable hours). Both the getting on and off were easy and well organised; even though we were the last off coming and going, we were away within an hour of vehicles starting to leave the ferry. The voyage was comfortable. We aren't fans of nightlife, but there are were lots of public places to sit which are quiet, away from the music and dancing of the nightclub. Our cabin (an inexpensive inside one) was well appointed, clean and more than sufficient for an overnight. The bathroom was fine with a good shower and instant hot water. It can be complicated to find one's cabin, but there are helpful, friendly crew members to guide you.

"Very pleasant "
This was our second trip using pride of Rotterdam. This time we travelled with our 1 year old son. The staff were very helpful from start to finish. Boarding was fast & easy. I requested a cabin close to the stairs etc for easier access with our son which was given for both journeys. The ship is very clean & tidy. We didn't use the restaurant facilities but having a Starbucks on board is helpful for a warm drink (or just to get the hot milk ready to Cool down for the babies bottle.) Our outward cabin was very comfortable & clean. A travel cot was provided on request from reception once on board. Would highly recommend

"Rotterdam to Hull 18/05/2017"
Generally happy with all facilities on board except entertainment. In sky lounge a guitar being played in one key whilst singer was in another and the main stage on deck 8 had the most wooden singer possible, with a backing band that looked really happy to be there (not). I would suggest that you replace them with the ones from my previous trip being the piano player in the sky lounge and the Madness tribute band on deck 8. Paying for internet on board is a rip off as when I travel to Ireland it is free

"Cabins"
Very little info on the ship as to what is where. Cabin was clean but bare. How about a facility to make a hot drink or even a TV in the cabin. I had a premium cabin but was very disappointed. After a long drive, not everyone wants to sit in the communal rooms and cafes, bars.

"We regularly use this crossing and always look forward to it but . . "
The food in the Brasserie is generally very good but the needs of vegetarians do not seem to be understood - dishes without meat or fish should be more substantial to give equivalent satisfaction. Also, the French fries should be more like homemade hand-cut chips and not like fast food offerings (which are OK in the buffet restaurant setting). Also, a little more time between the announcement for car drivers and disembarkation would be appreciated. Savvy drivers are in their cars before the announcement but others can have an uncomfortable rush.

"Family adventure "
We enjoyed the crossings very much, our grandsons thought it was a great adventure sleeping on a ship in bunk beds. The food selection was suitable for all, we particularly enjoyed the cold selection. Drinks in the bars were reasonably priced though the general feeling in most of them was rather dark. We did receive more courteous service on the Dutch boat, being greeted and directed to our cabin and a choice of child's pizza delivered to the table at dinner. A good time was had by all.

"Excellent customer service!"
This is not related to the ferry crossing itself but to the kind lady who switched me from the RTM-Hull ferry to the Calais-Dover route without batting an eyelid, organising an unexpected refund as well. Customer service like this is very hard to find in the UK in this sad modern profit driven era, so to come across it made my day! Unfortunately I can not remember the lady's name, but she was on duty on 24th Jan 2017 around 1945 UK time when I called from the Netherlands. Whoever you are you deserve a 5 gold star and you are doing your organisation proud. Thanks again!

"Reasons to be grateful"
Very grateful to P&O for 2 reasons: 1. I arrived very late for the ferry due to technical reasons - about 1 hour after last boarding. Fortunately my sad face and the efforts of the check-in staff permitted me to just squeeze on board before the ship sailed. 2. I left my wedding ring in the cabin. Lost property were very helpful and the ring was returned within days. Slight downer - the fire sprinkler started dripping during the night keeping me awake and making a large puddle on the carpet.

"Fleas in kennels !!!"
I really enjoyed the cruise. The bed on the way back was sunken and uncomfortable, though and the bathroom could have been cleaner. But the WORST thing was that my dog was invaded by loads of fleas in the kennels and smelled bad too. I've had dogs for 20 odd years and none of them ever had fleas, so this was shocking and expensive to get rid off. I really do hope P&O ferries compensates me on that.

"Hull to Rotterdam ferry"
As we live in Lancashire, Hull was a less stressful alternative to driving to Folkstone. I must confess that I was a little apprehensive of travelling with P&O after travelling Dover Calais two years ago and will always use the tunnel in future. My fears were totally unfounded, the staff, the quality of food, cleanliness and prices on both outbound and return ferries were excellent leading me to ask is this a different company to the P&O that operates the Dover Calais crossing. I would recommend this crossing to anyone that wants to wake up refreshed on t
