On board The Barfleur with Brittany Ferries for the crossing from Cherbourg to Rosslare (€488 with 2 berth outside cabin and meal voucher. 7M motorhome). Haven't been on it before but it seems decent.
The rooms are the same as all the other ferries. I have a standard 2 berth cabin with a window, it's perfect but no frills. There's a self-service restaurant with the usual stuff, haven't tried that yet but I'll be there in an hour. There's a big bar with several draught options and a decent w**e selection. Much better than the bars on the Hibernia Line crossings actually. There's a separate cafe which appears to be closed at the moment, maybe it will open tomorrow. Decent size gift shop as well. It's dog friendly. Pretty nice overall. On a par with the Hibernia Line crossings from Boulogne sur Mer. A big step up from the likes of The Contentin. A bit of a step down from W.B Yeats.
I'll take two weeks at home and then back again, there's 3 more waiting to be picked up so I might need the father with me again on the next run.
