"First Class Experience "
Thoroughly enjoyed our return ferry to Larne from Cairnryan. From making the initial booking we were kept informed as to what the routine would be. The checking in and security checks were efficiently dealt with by very pleasant staff. On board the facilities were first class and the lounge areas were very comfortable. Would certainly use P&O ferries again and recommend this particular crossing.
"No priority boarding"
Don’t buy priority boarding. They take no notice of it

"A great service"
Booked a return ferry from Cairnryan to Larn with P & O Irish ferries, the whole experience was quick efficient and friendly, the ferry was clean, and the food served fresh and hot, I would not hesitate to travel with P&O Ferries again and would also happily recommend them to others. Thank you.
"Seating in the forward lounge should not be used as beds."
All round very good. Vessel seemed to be in a clean condition with obvious signs of recent maintenance. Staff were competent and polite. The only issue we had was that seating in the forward lounge area was plentiful but largely taken up by passengers using the seating as beds. I think this needs to be addressed to ensure that all passengers have a chance to sit in a comfortable seat whilst aboard. My friend is disabled and unfortunately he had to sit in the galley area as not able to obtain a comfortable lounge seat.
"Pleasant trip"
Easy booking process and the boarding procedure is simple.
"Reliable, easy and afordable"
Recently took the Cairnryan - Larne return service, all went as planned and booked, friendly staff, sailing on time, cost was reasonable.
"Holiday travel to Ireland"
Both journeys from Cairnlyan to Larne and back very straightforward and loading without any hitch’s ( see later),. . Club lounge used but as ship not busy probably didn’t need it. Delay on return journey not fully explained. Apparently some passengers had a text.
"Visiting family "
Easy to book on line . Also easy to change dates for long stay. Good price
"Irish crossing"
Great journey to Larne and back. Clean facilities. Great food. Highly recommend.
"P&O better than expected "
Good aelection of food, plenty of GF options. Excellent baby changing facilities. Plenty of space on board. Overall very clean and efficient.
"Appalling "
12 midday sailing Larne- Cairnryan cancelled at 11.50. Promised 4pm sailing would go on time - finally went at 5.15p.m. Very poor communication from P&O staff who clearly were motivated only to prevent defections to Stena . Our dog had to spend 8 hours either wandering around a small concrete yard or locked up in our car. Terrible experience.
"Belfast and Back"
Direct Ferries are a nightmare agent, no direct contact was possible at any stage and website was appalling. Booking and making changes due to P&O action was very difficult and expensive. P&O sacked all its UK staff and many sailings were cancelled so we moved our original booking from June to September. So the admin of getting tickets was horried, the actual sailings were OK. I recommend never book via Direct Ferries, it is appalling. September
"Pleasant Trip"
Very good trip
"Excellent service "
Excellent service from lovely staff in ferry terminal to ship staff very enjoyable experience
"Sail off into the sunset with confidence!"
Fabulous journeys .... staff are so kind, patient and have a ready smile. After a long, long car drive it's just what we needed.
"Very efficient and obliging crew"
People were gathered in the cinema watching the queens funeral, when the ship sailed it changed to the move I disappointing everyone, my wife went up to purser and asked if we could have the funeral back on instead, she very kindly came in and asked us all what we would like to see and as the vast majority wanted to continue what we were watching she kindly returned it to the screen. Much appreciated by all! Well done!sailed
"Terrible "
Worse experience of my life !! I mixed up date and wen I got to ferry stena wanted 200 to change date there was no way to contact this company myself and my wife and two kids had to sleep in car my children one age 6 and another 8 month old baby had no where to go and staff at the port where rude and very unhelpful would never ever use directferries again big no no do not use
