"Dublin to Holyhead"
Generally the ferry worked well - facilities were fine, crossing smooth, duration as expected. However, we did have an issue whereby we were told through direct ferries that the ferry was going to be at 16.30 rather than 14.45 which is the time we'd booked and received official email communications etc. from direct ferries, checked the sailing update on the day of departure and it said 16.30. Then at about 12:00 on the day of sailing I had a text reminder that said the ferry would depart at 14:45, I phoned up and was told (after some time) that that was the correct time and the 16:30 was wrong. Then had to make a dash to get to the ferry. If I hadn't rang up/got the text I would have missed it. Therefore marking the ship punctuality down (but really was a communication issue).

"Adventurer - Holyhead-Dublin"
First time travelling to Dublin via ferry, and what a pleasant experience it was. Friendly, helpful, professional staff (I booked the Stena Lounge each way - do it, it's worth it); good food (Eggs Benedict for breakfast was spot on); well stabilised ship - sea was a bit rough on the return but the ship handled it well); and punctual both ways. For the price, as a foot passenger, you can't beat it.

"NOT pet friendly sailing . Definitely would recommend this sailing if you do not have a pet sailing."
Disappointed that our family dog had two choices (Stay in Car Alone ) although we were able to check on her twice each visit the vehicles around her had alarms going off she was extremely frightened and panting allot. Alternatively, there was metal kennels only 6 available. These kennels were located in the vehicle deck next to the noisy vehicle alarms. Paid a fortune for a pet certificate and horrified my rescue dog who is a gentle girl had to stay over 3 hrs alone in the car. In addition I was unable to lock my car as the alarm went off because she was inside. How can the short ferry to Isle of White have a designated area for pet owners on leads but Irish ferries do not. Staff were kind and helpful just the facilities for pets extremely unacceptable. Also it would be nice if there was a green dog friendly area for owners to exercise their dog prior to departure especially if there are delays.

The general space was well appointed. The food on the boat is not great, I'd recommend opting for the take away cart with scones, etc. Forget the coffee unless you went for the Hygge space with the free Nescafe machine. Otherwise, the coffee tastes like its made from coffee-flavored syrup. The staff was great, but the boats don't fill so the "cleaning" is a quick look around for trash and off they went. Everything else went smoothly and it was a GREAT voyage.

"Disappointed with the premium services. "
Having travelled a great number of times from Holyhead/Dublin/Holyhead over the years and enjoyed the premium experience with additional costs we found that the return on Friday 16th September 2.45 sailing the boarding and disembarking procedures appear to have been in disarray. Arriving early (with others) in the premium queue and then having to wait while many none premium vehicles were loaded. Again on disembarking delayed while none premium and most of the heavy haulage’s left the ship. This is the first time I have experienced this issue and hopefully it’s a one off. I have no issue with the lounge service , the complaint is the advertised priority boarding/disembarking procedures were not met.

The return trip on the Stena Adventurer was appalling. It was full of around 20 to 30 bratty children who were just left to run around the ferry screaming at top note because their “parents” main concern was emptying the duty free alcohol and getting drunk. All the crew did was make about 5 announcements asking parents to look after their kids which didn’t change anything. The crossing was in the late evening so it was very annoying as people were trying to relax and sleep but it was impossible to do so. There needs to be more on for children to keep them entertained and quiet or almost certainly a deck with no children allowed so travellers can get away from feral children left to their own devices.

When we finally got in to the ferry we were told it was very busy and it would be hard to find a seat. Toilets we starting to smell half way through the journey.

"Ferry good, Dublin arrival bad"
First experience as a foot passenger and impressed with transfer from/to terminals and ship. Baggage check-in worked well. Good facilities in Stena Plus lounge. Now the bad bit: when we came out of the Dublin terminal there were no taxis so we took the Nolans bus to Connolly station. It was dreadful: there was virtually no storage space for luggage and too many people crammed in. A very uncomfortable journey. Advice: make sure you book a taxi before you travel.

"Dublin to Holylead June 2022"
Took Stena Line from Holyhead to Dublin and back. Staff were friendly, and the food was pretty good, but the food & beverage service on both legs of the journey was poorly managed. Firstly, on a 8:15am sailing, the queues for breakfast were massive. Given that Stena Line have clear visibility on the volumes of people coming onboard for each sailing, they should clearly add more tills/points of sale. Secondly, they stopped serving hot food at around 11am, with the ferry due to dock around 12:15pm. At 11am there were hundreds of passengers of passengers onboard, many of whom were eager to buy more food, and all they could get was hot drinks and cold food, I get that the kitchen needs time to transition to serving lunch, but they could easily do that during the timeslot when the vehicles are offloaded. To serve food for about 2 hours of a 3 & 1/2 hour trip is not only commercially irrational but is also providing a poor level of customer service. Lastly, the Coffee Shop service was slow, with a huge queue, because there was 1 guy manning it, and he was inexperienced. You should add staff to the coffee shop to move things along.

"lack of info due to delays"
I received the email to write this review whilst i was still waiting to board the ferry which i found quite amusing and at the same time just proved that Stenna and the information i received as a customer was abysmal. Yes, my afternoon sailing on Friday 18th was cancelled because of the storm-i received an email saying attend for the 20:30 sailing--i totally understand that. I arrived early just in case and a ticker board advised check in opens at 06:16 (am???) just a simple error rather than saying 18:15hrs. The check in opened about 1hr earlier. Then i received another text approx 18:30-19:00hrs advising delay due to storm. Again i understand that---however after this point we received no information whatsoever. We finally boarded the ferry at 01:00am 19th Feb. The sailing across was okay-we received a voucher for food---just one restaurant open which only served a bap/sandwich. Nothing else. For me Stenna need to improve communication and let customers/passengers know what is going on. The last text from Stenna said board latest 22:30hrs--we didnt board until 1am. People were starting to get upset at the delays and took it out on the dock workers. Need to improve please Stenna.

We were both quite ill, the staff in the club lounge were absolutely fantastic, we were looked after by Holly, she managed to source us a cabin so we could lie down, very knowledgeable, my daughter is Asperghers and was absolutely terrified. The team went above and beyond to ensure passenger safety, comfortable and to reassure, Holly in particular showed a level of empathy and understanding which helped my daughter feel more at ease. The return journey was thankfully not as rough but again the level of customer service was exemplarily. All the team were engaging, took time to address concerns and make passengers feel at ease.

My initial experience with Stena was very easy and straightforward, but it turns put I wasn‘t provided a lot of information when booking. No information was actively provided by Stena about the dog kennels, and we weren‘t aware that our dogs would have to stay in the car by themselves. This is probably not an issue for experienced ferry users, but first time users rely strongly on themselves to inform themselves properly. There was furthermore no instructions/information given at the port prior to and during check-in; many people actually drove the wrong way within the port because the arrow and lane system (where existent) failed. Also, Stena employees were barely able to provide us with any usable information regarding the check-in, or for example the temperature on the car deck for the dogs‘ well-being.

The actual ferry ride over to dublin was lovely. It was just a shame we nearly missed the ferry due to the boarding gate opening 30 mins after the initial opening time and not shutting until literally 5 minutes before the ferry was due to set sail. We entered the ferry and it set sail straight away. The hygge lounge was lovely. The ferry home was equally good. It was a shame that when we got back the captain took the best part of 2 hours to dock the ship without keeping passengers informed. This then meant that we were not able to get a taxi after and had to walk back to our hotel at 2am which was over a mile away. For a 24 hour port it was not manned very well and it took time to find a colleague to assist us. Would I travel by ferry again, yes and I'd definitely use the lounges but I'd make sure I was on an earlier ferry so it eliminates walking through a strange town at all hours in the morning..

Hi, The journey went well until vacating the boat with people standing around to get to their cars. The boats should allow people if they choose to sit in their cars which would be fantastic with people who are at higher risk or make the announcement's clearer when they say freight and cabin to move out but advise the access to their cars aren't open yet. I have underlying health issues and need to avoid being around people but needed to get home and I thought the boat with cabin is a safer solution. If they fixed the announcements it would have been perfect.

The staff were 100% top notch and friendly, the boats were fabulous and brand new (outbound) and ready for a paint job, but still very comfortable (inbound). Only observations I would make are .. the long term car park doesn't seem very secure, and needs much better lighting. It is very hard to find the way to the long term parking - better signage is needed. The seats in the post check in waiting area are in a bad way, and there is no refreshments that side. Ho9lyhead should be like Dublin, which has a decent cafe to wait in for foot passengers. Dublin check in needs better signage. BUT the big one is, if you are on the late evening service, and you are delayed, getting transport is very hard. I was stuck there at 0400 and without a cab for some time. Taxi apps dont find your location either as its off road .. Stena need to address this issue badly, even if its just advice to walk to the road where Taxis can find you (mine didn't and drove off again)

I had two very pleasant and punctual trips on the Stena Adventurer. However I also experienced a significant problem. On arrival late afternoon into Dublin Port on Sunday 22.09.19 there was neither coach nor taxi available on site for on-going travel. I therefore walked some three kilometres along a dangerous dual carriageway to a petrol station which a fellow traveller assured me was regularly used by taxi drivers. Indeed I there found a taxi and was safely conveyed to my destination. I recognise that the Port Authority may not wish to have an on-site taxi rank, but surely it or Stena Line could set up a Guest Service department at the terminal exit to enable disembarking foot passengers easy access to favoured taxi proprietors or perhaps to a list of their telephone numbers and availability.
