"Not sure if I should recommend your company "
Well, before arriving in Cherbourg, I had to go to the toilet. While on the loo, one of the staff came and asked if there was anybody in there? At the same time, there were lots of announcements being made. When, I came out from the toilet, I discovered that the front toilet door has been locked from the outside. I managed to open the door from the inside. So, now imagine the reaction of a small child, someone who didn't hear the person asking if there were anyone inside, a blind individual or a death! For few seconds I felt a sense of panic.

"Lovely ferry crossing from France to Ireland"
The 15 hour trip was made more enjoyable by the staff and the amenities on board. I booked the reclining chair initially, but couldn't take the extreme vibrations and noise. I ended up upgrading to a cabin (relatively affordable, but only if available). Meals were included in my ticket, and were reasonably good. The organisation on the Cherbourg side was not th greatest, as it was a lot of waiting, driving to the next point, waiting some more, driving to the next point, waiting some more.

It's a fine ferry service and completely what I expected. The food is a little small and plain.

"declined seat"
We ordered a declined seat to be able to have some sleep, like indicated on the site of Stena lines. The room with the seats seems to be very close to the engine room. Inside the " resting" room was continuously 73DB. With this kind of sound, you can never get any sleep. Passengers just taking a bench in the ´restaurant (far from the engine) could sleep a lot better without any payment for reservation. Not sleeping for 17,5 hours because they ripped you of with a declining seat in a room with 73 DB. Not really the best way to start a holiday.

"Never again!"
We were a bit surprised with our recent experience. We have travelled back & forth to the UK on numerous occasions over the last 10 years and to be honest we were expecting a little better with Stena line. The top bunks in the cabin were very uncomfortable and there was no pocket or shelf within reach to put phone, glasses etc. The breakfast was (a) barely warm and (b) overpriced. Rather than the simple choose any 5/6 for a set price there is a breakfast and a vegetarian breakfast. If you want a breakfast with mushrooms and tomato, then the staff find it nigh on impossible to accommodate you! Another shocker, given the ports of call, was the price of wine...an average of €16 per bottle!!! Luckily we won't be driving to Ireland any time in the foreseeable future, but neither will we be recommending Stena line :-(

It's definitely a 'no frills' trip & as long as this is explicit - fine.

However cabins were comparable to any other ships in my experience & the trip was uneventful, so all in all fine, as opposed to being great!

"Cabin Noise and vibration"
Dear Stena, It is many years since I traveled by ferry. In my younger years I used to pay only for a seat. This time I decided to treat myself to a cabin. Cherbourg to Cork 15th June 20:30. I cannot find my cabin number but i think it was on the 5th floor. I was one of the furthest back cabins. The noise and vibration was deafening during the night, even with ear plugs, and I could not sleep all night. I assume I was over the engine room. I only noticed the contrast when i went to breakfast in the front of the boat the next morning . there was virtually no sound or vibration. I was informed later that the most comfortable cabins in the boat from a noise perspective, is on the 6th floor and at the front of the boat. I could only recommend this ferry if there was a choice of cabin at booking.

"Recent ferry trip to France"
I have just travelled to France and back with Stena Line on their Horizon ferry. We usually go with Irish Ferries but thought we’d try the Stena Line ferry for a change. It is much smaller in comparison and unlike the Oscar Wilde has only one restaurant and one small coffee bar selling a limited range of sandwiches. If you buy a sandwich you have to take the hand written order over to the bar to pay which means queuing up again then returning to show your receipt before collecting the sandwich. Seems very strange to me. Also there is not enough seating for everyone in the bar areas. At dinner time in the restaurant a female staff member stands guard on the way into the small dining area. My children tried to enter the area to sit at a table while my husband and I queued for food. This was not permitted and they were told “No keep table” so they had to stand bored in the queue with us instead of being able to gather cutlery and condiments so our lukewarm meal wouldn’t be completely stone cold by the time we actually got to eat. Service is very slow, particularly at breakfast when there is only one man - yes one- serving breakfast for the whole ship!! Everything is overpriced as is the norm for a ferry. Food was just ok. Our cabin was comfortable although not very clean. It was extremely noisy with music from the bar going on until the early hours. A man was shouting aggressively in French in our corridor for over an hour in the middle of the night which was a bit unsettling. On the way over the bar area was full of lorry drivers getting very drunk- not a nice start to a family holiday. WiFi is only a available in the bar and restaurant area. The shop is tiny and not a pleasant experience if there are more than two people in it. Staff were mostly pleasant and helpful. On the way over I was able to borrow a UK socket adapter as the ship has only European sockets. Overall I think we will return to Irish Ferries next time we sail to France as it is a more pleasant experience.

"A good ship, amazing staff."
The last time we did a journey on the ferry like this was with Irish Ferries. This trip was certainly better. The staff on this ship are incredibly friendly and keen to provide a great service. We travelled by motorcycle, the loading process was good, loader was helpful and did a good job of strapping our bike down. Our cabin was Grand. The only big gripe I had about this journey was how noisy our cabin was... we were in cabin 525 towards the aft of the ship and we could constantly hear the loud droning of the ships engine. It became unbearable after a while, we might as well have been downstairs ‘shovelling coal’. We couldn’t hear this anywhere else on the ship, so it must be down to the proximity to the engines. Maybe extra insulation, noise proofing in these cabins would help... hopefully next time we will be able to request a different cabin. Prices on board were fairly reasonable considering the scenario. The maritime. Phone network is absolutely extortionate, costing criminal rates... I know this has nothing to do with Stena Line but it might be nice to notify passengers about this to save them from any surprises on their next phone bill. Network providers do send a text but sometimes it doesn’t come through for a while. I know WiFi is via satellite and not capable of streaming but it would have been nice to be able to connect in our cabin. A good journey overall, what stood out the most was the great staff.

"Just one snag"
Firstly, I would like to thank all the staff and crew who were so very kind and helpful during my recent trip from Rosslare to Cherbourg. I had fallen down a flight of stairs the day before my trip and cracked my collar bone so was one useless arm. I was given every possible assistance. The snag, and it is a huge one, is that the design of the bunks in the cabins on board make it almost impossible to get out of bed if you are disabled or short and need to be able to push yourself up to stand. I am 80 and have arththritic hips and knees and normally need to use both hands to push myself into a standing position. With only one useable hand it was terribly difficult to get out of the bunk. The wooden rim of the bunk makes it so hard to get up because my feet didn't touch the floor and pushing against a soft mattress with one hand doesn't work. Just removing a small section of the wooden rim would make it possible to get in and out of the bunks without so much effort and considerable pain.

Had I booked with Stena Line direct and not with Ferries Direct then I would have been informed that this ferry service had been cancelled and alternative travel arrangements would have been made. However I arrived at Cherbourg on schedule to find the Ferry had been out of service for 3 days and it would be another 2 days before repaired! We had to cancel our whole holiday to Eire at great expense. However I have nothing but admiration and at the same time the resilience of the Stena Line staff, they arranged a taxi to Caen where we crossed to Portsmouth and have promised to pay our out of pocket expenses. As for the middle men at Direct Ferries, I will not be using them in future.

"Next time we will fly"
My husband, 3 children and I travelled from Rosslare to Cherbourg and back in July 2017. The crossing takes 17 hours and includes an overnight stay on the ferry. To be fair the journey out was not so bad, we had booked a cabin and were reasonably happy with that. The main problem was the return journey. For some reason there were no cabins available for that leg so we were forced to book reclining seats in a large room shared with other people. An awful prospect with two 5 year olds and a 10 year old. The seats were awful, barely reclined at all, no way could we sleep on those. We ended up lying across seats and on the floor, as did almost every other passenger who was on the recliners. Clearly not just us who found the chairs unsuitable for purpose. To make matters worse both of my 5 year olds were sea sick and vomiting so we had to make frequent trips out to the toilets down the corridor. The men's toilets here were also out of order the whole trip so my husband was forced to use the ladies toilet with our daughters at times. Quite frankly that overnight trip was hellish. If we had been able to book a cabin things would have been much better with the toilet at hand. One of the other passengers who travelled four times a year on the ferry said he had never seen it so busy. It seems that Stena crammed us in without caring about having sufficient accommodation available. Very poor show. Never again.

"Excellent family ship"
Excellent ship all round except for the cleanliness of the toilets. My 7 year old went to the toilet only to have walked all over human faeces. I went in to the toilets and it was everywhere and i mean everywhere. One hour later i went back to check and it had not been cleaned despite me telling someone unboard. My daughter was very distressed and her shoes and socks were distroyed. I was very annoyed at this. We had to bin her footwear and shower her. I was on a Stena ship last week and there was a cleaner in tge toilets every 15 minutes as my wife and i were sitting opposite the entrance. If the cleanilness improved unboard Irish ferries they would get 5 out of 5 but we had a traumatic ecperience and would question whether to travel again

"Efficient service"
The ferry journey from Rosslare to Cherbourg was great. It saved us driving through Scotland and England to get to the south of France. Well worth it. As a disabled passenger, I was disappointed to not have access outside. Also, I found it bothersome to have to ask for a key to the disabled toilet when I wanted to go. How about installing RADAR locks in order to make the toilets open to disabled customers only?

We accommodated on a sofa next to the bar, which is in principle the same point where information staff told us that we would be accommodated! BIG MISTAKE!. The bar remained open until about four in the morning, serving wine and pints of beer everywhere to the Irish people willing to not sleep all night, but they enjoyed and we suffered their enjoy. They drank wine, beer, without limit even falling over us because of how badly they were ... singing, one after another, typical and non typical Irish songs, with guitar and without guitar ... Finally, the party lasted until seven o'clock in the morning, and nobody could stop such party and alcohol (the staff tried it several times, but it was impossible, since the alcohol level of some of them). About 4 in the morning we were offered to sleep on the cinema room, but only until nine o'clock, but did not ,otherwise we will lost the precious sofa to have some rest while others sleeping off their drunkenness. In short,a travel to forget.

My return 18-hour trip from Cherbough to Roselare cost only 300 euros for a van and two passengers - very reasonable. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Well done, Celtic Link.

Everything was perfect in this short cruise. The disembarkment was a bit slow though…….

"gibberish "
The loudspeaker announcements were almost incomprehensible - the technical equipment was poor standard announcements should be clear and understandable are given by band.

"Ferry "
Fairly long crossing, but which flows fast in the end, as we spend the night. Nice crew, pleasant restaurant, clean cabin. Will do again!

"Fairly quiet on the way back"
The ferry trip went well, we travelled with animals. The only thing we regret is the lack of atmosphere. There are two bars that close at 22:00h and 12:00h. After a week of vacation we would have liked to finish with a last night especially on a boat!

"Excellent service"
Very satisfied with the crossing and the service received onboard and even though the boat left a bit late we caught up by the time we arrived.

"cabins"
It would be better if the cabin was included in the price even though the price would be higher. The cabins were great, but I had to rent it when I boarded and I thought it was included.

"Overall evaluation"
First experience on a ferry so I don't have anything to compare. I was pleasantly surprised. Clean and confortable external cabin, without any extras though. Decent and reasonably priced food. The crossing was on time and the staff is caring. A good value
