I liked the punctuality of the ferry. On the ticket it doesn't say what the ferry name is. Putting this on the ticket would make it much easier for passengers.
This is an efficient and useful booking system. The only glitch I encountered was when I wanted to go back to change the number of people travelling with me. The “back” key would not take me back fa... See more

Terrible !!!
I MISSED MY FERRY BECAUSE THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE INACCURATE AND CONFUSING. The link that is sent on the email sends you somewhere else and by the time I made it, the office closed and they would not let me board the ferry. It was incredibly inconvenient to say the least!

Hi,
Thanks for reaching out about the confusion with the instructions and missing your ferry. I understand how frustrating this must have been for you.
After checking your booking, I can confirm that the confirmation email included the latest check-in time, port details, and other important travel information.
We will contact you at the email address you used to book to get some more details and look into this further.
Booking was so easy.

I have been using DF for a while now and it is a great experience. I gives me lots of alternatives for my ferry form Dover to France. Easy to change the times and easy to change location if necessary.
A small service change ensures I get the best value trip each time from the different operators.

When we arrived early for our ferry, Irish ferries allowed us to go on an earlier ferry with 5 mins to go! Can't fault that!
