"Overall"
Very good
"Good review"
Good
"All in all a good experience and great value"
First time on P&O Dublin to Liverpool. Way cheaper than Stenna and Irish Ferries. Quite basic seating etc but absolutely fine. Only negative is related to arm rests on bench seats so mean it's impossible to spread out or get your head down on such a long crossing. But all in all a good experience
"Best experience "
I loved my experience at p&o. Everything was perfect. Cabin was nice and clean. Had a really nice shower with hot water available. Breakfast and food was delicious too. Thank you very much

"Holiday Trip"
P&O Ferry
"Very pleasant way to travel when you're in no hurry!"
My wife and I used P&O Ferries to travel to England from Ireland, using the Dublin - Liverpool route. Using P&O saved us €150+ vs other operators using the Dublin - Holyhead route. This saving was inclusive of the extra cost incurred booking a 2-berth (outside) cabin for both journeys (€52). 3 meals outbound and 2 inbound were included in the general price. Arriving in Liverpool also saved us well over an hour in driving time to our destination in the Midlands. We were in no hurry and as 8 hrs is a long time to spend on a ferry, the cabin offers excellent value. Our outbound ferry was the Norbank. The staff were friendly and efficient and the accommodation was clean. The breakfast was just ok, as was the (slightly watery) mushroom soup and bread roll for lunch, but the 'tea' before docking was much nicer. Our return ferry was the Norbay. Again, the staff were very good - even friendlier than before, and efficient. Cabin was clean. The food (breakfast and tea) was very good and a big improvement. More choice and cooked better. Both ferries departed and arrived on time. The security/check-in staff at both ports were friendly and very kindly helped sort out an issue (our error) with one of the names on the booking, compared to the ID details. Thank you! In general, I'd definitely recommend this option if you are not in a hurry and want to save a considerable amount of money. Maybe less good if you've small children as there's little or nothing to entertain them from what I saw.

"Disappointed with Direct Ferries "
As we couldn’t get booked directly with P&O we made our booking with direct ferries. Having paid €303 on Tuesday evening for a sailing on Thursday evening they then informed us on Wednesday that due to weather issues our booking was cancelled however on contacting P&O we found out that sailing was going ahead. As our ferry was within 48hrs direct ferries wouldn’t deal with our inquiries. However P&O were great as usual to deal with especially Adrienne in freight as our booking was car and passenger. They looked after us brilliantly start to finish. Thank you team P&O from directional staff on ground to purser and staff on board the “Norbank” . Not one bit happy with direct ferries. Thanks for taking time to read this.
"Very happy"
Lovely little boat. The food is very good. Surprised to get a steak for dinner and perfectly cooked. I had low expectations but I’m looking forward to sailing again. Thank you
"Delays not communicated "
The boat was due to sail at 21:30, boarded at 23:40. Delays are acceptable, my issue is that there was no email or text sent to inform us of the delay or the new boarding time, just left sitting in the Dock with no food facilities.
"Fantastic trip with this ferry"
Travelled for a funeral in the UK. This ferry included breakfast and dinner and unlimited tea n coffee or hot chocolate. The cabins were clean and the two birth ones were not bunk beds which was fantastic. There was a shower and toilet ensuing and the price was the cabin was a lit cheaper than other ferry companies. The staff were really helpful.
"Complaints "
Not great food selection not great , and cold !! Would think of another company to travel with.
"Peaceful "
The Norbank could do with a refurbishment as it looks old and worn compared to other companies that do the Ireland crossing. However it does the job and it’s quiet. Because of the long crossing there is rarely kids running around. The cabins are comfy and clean. The meals are plentiful and varied. It suits my needs very well. At arrival on either side, I feel refreshed and not frazzled. The staff from check in and on board are very friendly and helpful.
"Great service "
Couldn’t have asked for more thank you
"Summer Sailing "
Great way to travel and cabin was so comfortable. As it's a long sail would definitely recommend booking the cabin. Thanks Guys!!!!
"Used a few times and will use again"
I've used this ferry a number of times and I am always happy with the service, the staff on board are great and can not do enough to help, the ship is clean and cabins are comfy.
"Excellent customer care- flat tyre"
We arrived at liverpool dock with a flat tyre. David Kelly and his crew took immediate charge and changed our tyre there and then. They also drove the car onto the ferry as I was nervous. Really appreciated there help, the put us at easy with laughs and jokes. Thank you so much you made our trip enjoyable.
"Relaxing...."

"Amazing "
Fantastic service
"Excellent "
Excellent service , great food and nice staff
"Comfortable and Easy"
First imegtting the Dublin- Liverpool ferry. Although it's a slow crossing I was very call and smooth, we had two delicious complementary meals, a full Fry and later three dinner options, tea and coffee were available throughout the crossing and the tv lounge we're comfortable and not crowded. We arrived n hour ahead of time schedule too. Overall great experience.
"Trip on Norbank"
Travelled on the Norbank ship with my 2 young children. Was very shocked to see there were no amenities for children. When I looked up P&0 ferries and it says there is a kids club. I was very disappointed to find there was none. In saying that we booked a cabin so the kids were able to sleep during the day and the food was fantastic. There was complimentary tea coffee hot chocolate etc which was a nice touch. We also got free colouring packs for them. The staff were friendly and very courteous. Although there wasn't anything for kids on board we managed to entertain ourselves on the long 8 hour journey. Would recommend for anyone travelling but not with very small kids.
"Do not consider Disabled ."
Both my Mother and I have limited mobility . It was extremely distressing trying to climb the two flights of stairs .
"Feed back"
I am happy with my experience on this trip. The ship kept to time. Facilities clean and appropriate. I am 100% satisfied
"Very pleased "
Travelled dublin to Liverpool and return journey. Was very pleased with the overall journey and how the staff managed everything from parking to meals included etc. Booked an indoor cabin on one journey and it was a great opportunity to catch up on lost sleep!
"Couldn't find Liverpool port"
The reservation had no obvious address for where the p&O ferry left. Could you add a link to the reservation. An extremely stressful experience. I feel as soon as I viewed the price online it went up. The outlets are European. I couldn't use my dryer. Otherwise I loved the crossing and would recommend it and do it again. Excellent value. Esp rooms.
"Great experience"
Absutely superb experience. It was our first time on the Endevour ship. The ship was spotless clean and the rooms also were very clean. The staff were nice and the food was very excellent quality. The rooms were at the perfect temperature. .lovely and warm. The movies for the kids were the latest which was great. We are bookjng again for the new year. Thank you.
"Really good"
I have travelled many times on the Dublin to Liverpool ferry. It has always been a very good experience.
