Ferry travel tends to be slow and quite expensive, resembling air travel with its long queues. The positives include booking a cabin, which is great for overnight trips. It allows you to leave your car, enjoy a meal, and get some rest, as a cheerful voice wakes you early to vacate the cabin. The cabins are usually clean and the bedding is warm. However, the food is disappointing in both variety and quality, especially given the high prices. For example, fish and chips for £18, along with a coffee, feels excessive. The menu has shrunk to basic options like burgers and baked potatoes, with no curries available. Often, the food looks unappetizing in photos and tastes even worse when served. I dislike fish and chips, yet it seemed the most appealing option, served on paper that quickly became soggy. The fish was hard to cut through, and the undercooked fish underneath was bland, with greasy batter. Though I didn't expect much, it was worse than a typical cafe. The staff were polite but had limited English, leading to repeated misunderstandings. The recommended fish and chips left much to be desired, and the cost of my trip in the car with the cabin was £250, making the round trip from one location to another feel exorbitantly priced. For that cost, flying would have been far cheaper. While ferry travel has its moments, the value for money is lacking. The staff were friendly, and the space was tidy, but overall, the experience was not enjoyable. The food options have declined over the years, and after numerous crossings, I find the experience merely functional. For the price, I believe a fair rate would be around £150, but £250 for a single journey feels excessive. Additionally, I encountered issues with my return booking, having to pay in a different currency, which was confusing and inconvenient.
