"Unzuverlässig"
Achtung bei Buchungen bei Stena Line! Es wird mit günstigen Preisen bei früher Buchung geworben und dann der Fahrplan geändert. Wer schon seine Zugreise zum Hafen gebucht hatte, hat halt Pech gehabt. Die Rückreise wurde kurzfristig gestrichen. Am Service kann echt noch gearbeitet werden.
"Great experience "
Lovely sailing beautiful ship, very clean great choice of food staff very nice and welcoming, cabins small but comfortable
"Extraordinary Customer Service!"
I cannot say enough good things about the entire staff aboard the Stena line ferry between France and Ireland. They went far above and beyond the norm, when my cat escaped my car and the boat crew spent hours searching for, successfully! Thank you, Stena Line!
"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.
"Rosslare to Cherbourg- Stena Line"
The friendliest staff that I have ever encountered on a ferry crossing. They were all really obliging and lovely.
"i loved it"
it was such a pleasure getting the ferry from rosslare to cherbourg. first of all the ferry terminal in rosslare is brilliant. the coffee dock cafe was so good and the food they served was so reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. toasted sandwiches and egg salad. two dinners it was so good. lovely calm ferry terminal and very friendly helpful staff. then the crossing was remarkably smooth and we got into cherbour two hours early! bonus! i loved it.
"Guests "
My experience the ferry was good the stuff is very nice they help u with any thing, j I thing is nice definitely will go on it again
"Happy sailor"
Clean comfortable room and an enjoyable trip
"Trelavel"
The best
"Stenaline"
It's a fine ferry service and completely what I expected. The food is a little small and plain. Cabins are very difficult to get maybe there are only a few or more likely they are reserved for delivery drivers. This is the most inconvenient part of the experience as a holiday maker. I will use Stenaline again if only for the price and the staff are wonderful and friendly.
"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.
"Very good,nice..."
Very good. Thank you
"direct ferry useless "
I will recommand Stena to my friend but not using direct line to book a ferry when Stena decide to change to time of sealing direct ferry do not forward thne new it is better tobook directly to Stena instead . On January 5 the time of sealing to Cherbourg was early but I wasn't aware to I miss the ferry did I get any information from direct ferry nothing
"Cherbourg to ireland"
Wouldn’t let me and my family on the ship because Ireland has changed the law on covid my two son aren’t vaccinated and just had antigen done 10 mins before we arrived at the port…. Now they have rescheduled our ship till Sunday… now my trip is going to cost me another €600 hotel and covid tests….
"Great experience "
Fantastic crew. Food in restaurant was great. Always a can do attitude with the crew. Clean cabins. Due to bad weather we left Cherbourg half hour early. But it was extremely bad weather and arrived in Rosslare twenty minutes late.
"Great crossing"
Very impressed with stenaline. They got me a cabin as was sitting up the crossing.( Was Unable to book cabin,sold out) The staff on the ferry were so friendly and accommodating. From the time on board until departure. The cabins were very clean and comfortable. The food was very nice. Would definitely use Stenaline again 😊
"Fantastic staff!"
Everybody was very helpful, especially the Philipino waiter in the bar
"Friendly and efficient service"
We were particularly impressed by the attention we received on board from all STENA personnel.
"Feedback StenaLine"
I had a reclining seat for the crossing where I was supposed to sleep. I couldn't sleep at all because of the noise but mostly because of the cold.
"Excellent"
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The boat is very clean. The cabin was very clean too and very comfortable. The restaurant is very good 👍.
"home safe thank you stena"
great trip back from france the only one point I will make and that I will never use direct ferries again no help when trying to contact shut down there phone lines
"Good crossing to Rosslare but bad coming back"
Didn't book a cabin this time and found the ship extremely cold overnight. We did book 'reclining seats' but found that room again extremely cold as well as very noisy. The seats were also not very comfortable hence people sleeping on the floor.
"Cherbourg-Rosslare "
Very good !
"Rosslare to Cherbourg "
The boat was cancelled because of a storm and I am booked to go out on Tuesday. I have made three return trips with Stena since you limited the restaurant to truckers only. I really resent being treated like a second class citizen with a less extensive menu .
"Great trip"
Very friendly and professional personnel, great voyage
"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 :-(
"personeel"
onze reis is plezierig verlopen met het vriendelijke en bekwaam personeel op de stena horizon. reis vanaf 1976 elk jaar naar ierland en opeens vaar irishferries niet meer op rosslare. de overstap naar stena lijn is ons goed bevallen.
"Great team, facilities with free wifi"
Thank you for the trip, the team is welcoming and available, the facilities are clean. Free wifi all the time.
"Negative experience"
Everything was almost ok with the important exception of the reclining seats room. It was strongly affected by engines vibrations, The noise lebvel was very high and it was impossible to sleep. Many people preferred to go to sleep outside (bar or corridors) and sleep on the floor instead to stay in this room.
"Recent trip from Cherbourg to Rosslare "
It's definitely a 'no frills' trip & as long as this is explicit - fine. Having been used to Irish Ferries I can say this was in no way comparable; Irish Ferries is luxury in comparison - particularly in the catering department. 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!
"Cabins "
I booked with you and was led to believe ihad booked a cabin both ways to my disappointment I was told I was not the only customer to be confused With their booking with you. Soo slept on a seat
"Nightmare"
Worst journey I have ever had , just want to erase it from my memory.
"Very good experience "
Overall we had a very good experience. The ship and cabin were clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and there were some on board activities to entertain kids.cinema choices were excellent. Food was only ok. Not at the same standArd as the rest of the ship
