It took at hour and a half to come off the ferry. That is truly rediculous. It did not help that P&O staff put me in the UK queue despite displaying EU paper in the windscreen.
I love the trip but your boarding and un-boarding needs some serious review.

Geweldig. Ja mijn kamera had wat hulp nodig en alle ingewanden zijn verwijderd en vervangen. De rekening is nooit leuk maar wel de wijze waarop ik ben geholpen. Vanaf het moment dat ik binnenkwam met mijn probleem, door het process van proberen het probleem lokaal op te lossen tot de uiteindelijke reparatie in hun reparatie centrum. Een goede ervaring.

Ik heb dit bedrijf benaderd via e-mail. Kreeg toen een heel vragenstelsel via WhatsApp, gevolgd door een telefoontje. Alles werd doorgestuurd naar een afdeling en ik zou nog die middag of de volgende dag horen.
Een week later heb ik gebeld, maar ik moest een voicemail achterlaten. Binnen enkele minuten kreeg ik een telefoontje terug van iemand die niet eens de moeite had genomen om te kijken wat er gebeurd was.
Laat maar zitten. Ik ga wel naar een adviseur die geïnteresseerd is. Geen enkel probleem.

De lessen beginnen eenvoudig en bouwen op, maar dat is niet het fijnste. Aan het eind van ieder hoofdstuk is er een opdracht die ervoor zorgt dat je een focus krijgt op wat je geleerd heb. Echt heel leuk.

Ik ben betrokken geraakt bij WorldRemit door een scam die ik op het laatste moment ontdekte. Sindsdien melden zich reglematig nieuw "ontvangers". Contact is helaas onmogelijk, dus ik kan mijn account niet eens sluiten. Echt bizarre.

The blinds are great but on time delivery is a bit of a nightmare and sadly that is part of the service. I ordered a normal blind (fine) and a Christmas blind which fit the same hanging system. It came late so it is useless. BlindsbyPost simply ignored me.
I will use it next year, but I am very annoyed.

Een favoriete foto hebben jullie perfect op canvas gezet. Prijs vond ik redelijk (mag altijd lager) en het canvas was thuis voordat ik van vakantie terug kwam. Een perfect herinnering.

The service is unparalleled certainly when compared to the tunnel. What a difference and it costs about half as much. Yes it takes a little longer, but when considering the time it takes to get through customs, the difference becomes marginal.
Oh and please stay out of the lounges - I like to keep them exclusive!!!

Where the tunnel experience has got steadily worse, the ferry experience has improved. Pricing is now less than half the cost of the ferry.
On top of that you get a relaxed journey, friendly staff, a very clean environment and if you get lucky and on the new boat you are in for a treat.

Mijn tablet had ik laten vallen tijdens mijn vakantie op een marmeren vloer. Scherm helemaal onbruikbaar ik een keer. Bij HilFix afgeleverd en 24 uur later zit er een perfect nieuw scherm op. Veel dank.

Everything smooth as silk at a reasonable price. Compare that to the tunnel with continuous queues, exorbitant prices and if at all possible, rude staff.
If you have a choice, take the ferry.

Timber is hard to source at the moment but Alsford was extremely helpful in sourcing what I needed, if not precisely what I originally wanted. Thanks for the help - it saved some money too.

Everything went very smoothly. I was told we would be late but in fact we were on time but on arrival another ship was in our bearth so we had to wait aan hour outside the harbour.

Having a flat tire just before New Year is never convenient. Enter Halfords. Ordered a tire and made the booking nice and warm, online. Installer called me in advance, did his work in record time and went to his next job. Me? I did not even have to leave the house.

Darwin was easy to arrange and everything went seemlessly. Of course, the true value of an isurer is not known until you need to call on them and I hope to have the good fortune to never need to do so.
Thanks for the help so far Darwin.

The trip across was great helped by the fact that there were few people and it was cool AND not raining. The staff was friendly and helpful and all was well.
Areas for improvement:
- having travelled in the summer I was taken aback by the heat pets were exposed to while waiting to board the ferry. Facilities on board are impressive but the waiting area not so great.
- there is nowhere really to go while you are waiting. This will improved once the eating areas are open I hope but in the meantime, unless you like watching wine bottles, there is not much to do.
- last but not least, Eurotunnel is twice the price and you get treated like s..t at all times! I only travel Eurotunnel with the dogs because I still prefer that arrangement though I was impressed with the p&o offering.

It was fine but not easy. I never found car park A for which I paid extra.
I returned late so went to the payment machine and was told to pay £35 - no mention I had already paid £24. It got resolved but a 21st century system would have an app allowing for an extension.

GoCompare did well but I am concerned about this new insurance gimmick. I have many years of no claims bonus and always no claims cover. Yet the insurance companies still increase the price - despite in my case the accidents both being non-fault, fully paid out, no personal damage and the car was driven by a named driver, not me. This makes a mockery of the no claims bonus and the no claims cover. I tried to get an explanation and could not make any sense of it.
