"Food and beverages "
Food and drinks are shocking expensive! Bar staff in the evening very friendly, reception and food not so friendly
"Impressive vessel but..."
Very efficient staff, the boat itself is impressive and all staff I encountered were lovely. However... issues with the wifi system left me high and dry for 19 hours, was trying to buy the premium wifi(but saucy at 7.90e for 2 hours usage) but unfortunately could not connect. Not the end of the world but not ideal either.
"2 stars"
Generally its Okay, there is no clearance about wifi service, a more detailed information must be provided on lobby seats, as a first time traveller i didnt booked cabin and sat in lobby for whole of my journey, booking procedure should be more clear.
"Great service "
We sailed with car and family, everything was efficient on boarding and off, the wb Yeats is a much better ship
"Total disaster "
I booked my ferry with direct ferries. And I needed to amend my vehicle to travel. The website of direct ferries said I had to amend online, and online said I can't amend I must call the office or fill a form and they will respond. I done this twice and never got any call. No customer service. Zero contact. I mean nothing. I couldn't travel and still I have no way of getting a rebate for this cause even after this trip I still have not got contact from direct ferries and still no customer service phone lines. So I will never ever book with direct ferries ever again. And suggest anyone traveling to just book direct with the ferry company. Total amature hour with direct ferries.
"Please if you may refund my ticket "
I’m trying to contact you, my ticket was cancelled. I didn’t cancel my ticket. I didn’t ask to cancel my ticket. I forced to buy new ticket, please if you may refund my ticket Agent reference: DF133687025, Reference: 23132771, thanks
"Great service"
Great service and beautiful new ship , staff where very welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
"Great experience"
7 of family traveled from Dublin Port to Holyhead . A very pleasant experience. Nice seating areas . Good cup of tea.
"Fast, efficient, and fairly priced "
From booking to travelling the whole experience was so easy and efficient. Boarding was a breeze and the ship was modern, well equipped and comfortable. I shopped around and found irish ferries to be the most competitively priced. I would definitely recommend them and I will be using their service from Holyhead to Dublin again
"Irish ferries"
Always use Irish ferries . I find good service very helpful a d polite staff .
"Dublin to Holyhead"
I have used Irish ferries a couple of times a year. Always a good experience. This occasion we boarded a few minutes late but nothing to stress about and due to heavy seas and winds we arrived a little late but to be fair this was due to the weather. All good otherwise
"Irish Ferries "
Very relaxing and staff very helpful
"Strongly recommend Irish Ferries"
I recently travelled from Dublin to Holyhead with Irish Ferries on the W B Yeats. I upgraded my ticket and found the journey very relaxing and extremely comfortable. I will travel with Irish Ferries in future when travelling by sea.
"Back to the UK"
Pleasant trip the sea was calm and the ferry we travelled on was large so plenty of space. We also enjoyed being able to go outside on the deck and being able to watch as the ferry came into Holyhead. Everything anyone could need was available on the ferry - ample food and drink choices and shopping.
"WB Yeates Dublin to Cherbourg"
Nice enough Ferry but it is brand new, 1 light didn't work in cabin. If you are going to serve overpriced your meals at least serve something decent.
"Rude personel"
We took the ferry from Dublin to Cherbourg on July 22 at 16:00, as footpassengers. The service and the personel on the ferry itself was very good. But I have to comment on two things: 1. The personel at Terminal 1 in Dublin port were very very unclear on where to board the ferry. Instead of informing us passengers that a bus is taking us instead they shouted at us to go that way, or that way, take the elevators and that we were all doing it wrong. It made several passengers uneasy and frustrated. 2. When we eventually made it to the bus the driver was clearly irritated at us and tol us to straight in. When asked wether the bus would take us to the Cherbourg ferry he told us ”Don’t you argue - get inside.” And so on. Very rude and unpleasant behavior.
