“Customer Service ”

Written on: 13/03/2013

Just before Christmas my two very elderly parents travelled from Antwerp to London. They got lost and an expected two hour journey took over 4 hours. DFDS decided that as they missed their booked crossing they had to pay extra. On calling the head office in the UK they apologized for the lack of understanding at Dunkirk and gladly refunded the extra payment . Unfortuantley this happened on the return trip and again DFDS were happy to refund the extra payment made at Dover. I have... (read more)

“I've never been on a U-boat before...”

Written on: 03/10/2012 by grimftl (1 review written)

But it couldn't be any worse than this. I had numerous other complaints but I'll just do the worst one. We paid 20 euro/person for the buffet. Service was terrible - it took 15 minutes before a waiter even approached our table, just so we could have water with our meal. On the way out of the restaurant, the waiter told us to pay about 6 euros for the water. I pulled out my wallet, stating that I was unaware that there was a charge. He dismissed us, saying we didn't have to pay, I offered to... (read more)

The A1 between Newcastle and Edinburgh is mostly single carriageway, and has an appalling accident record.

I would not travel again. (read more)

“NEWCASTLE TO AMSTERDAM ”

NEWCASTLE TO AMSTERDAM
ON
DFDS SEAWAYS m.s. PRINCESS OF NORWAY
 
As we approached the DFDS Seaways International Ferry Terminal at Royal Quays North Shields, we could see the m.s. Princess of Norway looming high above the terminal buildings. We pulled into the car park in good time and managed to secure a good parking place close to the pay machines and footpath to check in. Neither my wife nor I had travelled this route before, indeed it was our first visit to the Newcastle area. We live... (read more)

Written on: 29/11/2010

Weve used this ferry 6 times a year for the last 5 years and have been watching it get worse and worse and we are a couple in our early forties so enjoy a good time. But This ferry is just a rip off avoid it at all costs. Coffee £3.50 a cup John smith and lager £4.90 for a warm bottle or can. And with fish and chips at nearly £17.00 a portion its just unbeleivable. Then you have groups walking around high on drugs and swearing with other groups so drunk they were vomiting . We will never... (read more)

Great trip, food was really good, lots of variety and plentiful. Drinks were a bit expensive but still a great trip. If you are planning something a bit special try the Commodor class cabins, you have your own lounge with free wine, beer tea, coffee and snacks all day. fantastic (read more)

“Me and 5 friends decided to go on a day trip to...”

Written on: 24/08/2006 by Lee2008 (26 reviews written)

Me and 5 friends decided to go on a day trip to Amsterdam by ferry. We boarded the ferry at Newcastle ferry terminal at 5.30pm and arrived at Ijmuiden at 9.00am (continental time). We spent the day in Amsterdam then boarded the ferry to sail for home at 6.00pm.

The ferry we travelled on was much better than I anticipated. It had many bars, cafes, al a carte restaurants, live shows, entertainment, a night club, shops, cinema and a sauna and swimming pool. I had set my expectations pretty... (read more)

maybe if you'd ordered a chicken tikka masala with mango chutney and a naan bread, then you might be less disapointed
