"Good Crossing"
Nice clean ship.
"Ireland v Wales"
Very busy ferry trip but the staff were great under a lot of pressure.
"Great trip "
Facilities were great. Dog friendly cabin is really good
"Excellent "
Nice and clean and timing is very good
"Hygge lounge not comfortable "
Recline lounge very uncomfortable
"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).
"Return crossing to Dublin"
The entire return crossing was so relaxing and comfortable, the staff were excellent and the facilities were also excellent. Much less stress free than flying.
"Happy "
Have not done boat for years loved it good price loads of rooms nice staff
"Leisure travel "
Good service,staff were great.
"Impressed"
I was impressed by the service provided on my visit to Dublin and enjoyed the ferry crossing despite the pretty rough weather. The trip was comfortable, the timetable was adhered to and the transport arrangements from the ferry terminal at both Holyhaed and Dublin were ideal.
"Stena Estrid Late Night Crossing"
Stena Plus takes the stress out of travelling, very good facilities BUT on the night crossing they should dim the lights as it's very hard to get some rest with all the bright lights!!
"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.
"Holyhead - Dublin"
On time and served its purpose
"nice clean ship "
A nice, pleasant journey on a very clean ship, staff were pleasant and helpful, catering first class I had no problems at all, everything went very well THANK YOU
"Dog kennel "
Extremely poor, dirty, felt gutted that I had to leave my dog
"The trip to Holyhead was nice and enjoyable but I will warn passengers the goto the bar to keep focu"
Same as above.
"Organized "
Mum and daughters
"Dublin"
Excellent trip. Signage at Holyhead could have been clearer. Loved the executive lounge
"Stena Experience"
We had a Lovely sailing with Stena over to Dublin from Holyhead. Boat was very quiet and we enjoyed the Stena Plus Lounge. Overnight there was no food service in Stena Plus Lounge but you could always go to other restaurants. On way back it was evening and they were serving and it was very nice food.
"Holyhead to Dublin "
Nice modern Ferry.. great facilities.. if the boat is busy I would recommend that you upgraded to a cabin which was great value at £30
"Stena trip"
Lovely people, friendly staff. Instructions were clear.
"Boat trip "
Good overall
"My crossing to Ireland"
I paid for Stena Plus. I found there were lest people on the main part of the ship then in the lounge. The snacks are the same on all crossing.
"Nice experience! "
Will do it again! Same, with Stena!
"Dublin to Holyhead"
Lovely modern ship, friendly professional staff & immaculately clean. Stena are the only ferries I would consider. Highly recommended
"Great sailing"
Our sailing was good. But having a passenger who can not walk any distance. Our car was parked far away from the lift, such a big problem. Also the lounge we booked on our first trip was very enclosed. Much preferred the return trip whare the lounge had large exterior views
"Holyhead to Dublin service"
I used this service with a motorcycle. Check in was simple and easy and was boarded first. The ship was comfortable and there was plenty to do to pass the time during the crossing. The ship was very comfortable even without using the add on facilities. We were on time both ways and overall a very good experience.
"Top level service"
Impressively good service, straight on the boat no hassle and sailed off on time. All the staff were lovely, kind and helpful. Would definitely recommend over IF.
"Fantastic service "
Fantastic service on both journeys from Holyhead to Dublin and back. Took the car and as I have mobility, we were parked next to a lift. Great food and drink available on board. Comfortable seats and plug and usb points available. Friendly helpful staff and it was the cheapest way we could travel there and back with the luggage needed for an 11 day holiday and wedding. Both journeys were bang on time. I have no complaints what so ever and we will definitely be using Stena Line again and booking through directferries. They kept us informed all the way snd the booking/paying was easy!
"Great Crossing"
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.
"Nice ship"
The hot food only stays open for 30 mins from us boarding to getting in etc it's ready to close why bother opening at all a lot of missed opportunity for sales as most people were unable to buy any thing this needs reviewing by the company as it's a long sailing and not been able to buy food on board would put me off I have said I would rec this ship to a friend however I would warn them to bring there own food on board as it's impossible to buy any
"Smooth crossings"
Very efficient in loading and unloading vehicles. Facilities excellent, staff very helpful and pleasant and the ships were spotless. Food was basic but well cooked and served. Departure and arrival times were on the dot.
"Very Smooth"
Very smooth. No issues all very organised food was good if limited in choice. Recommend the lounges as a place of quiet and somewhere to unwind. Worth the extra.
