We've just had our first experiance with Brittancy Ferries (first with any ferry to be honest). We traveled on the 11:30pm sailings both ways. Price wise I have nothing to compare to as I say we are novices, we sailed from Plymouth to Roscoff - 6 hours there, 8 hours back (someone moved England?). To Roscoff our 4 berth cabin was obviously the most basic the shower floor being the floor of the bathroom! and in the depths of the boat, on the way home we'd been promoted to upper class - our own shower tray!! and seperate dressing table. Only thing that spoilt it was that the engines packed up about 30 minutes outside port. Everyting went black til emergency genny kicked in which sounded as thou it was next door. My other half who wasn't too keen on sailing anyway promptly ordered everyone up and dressed 'just in case'. Bless him!! We had to dock back to front so lorries and caravans had to reverse off. Of course someone jack-knifed their caravan leaving just enough room for the lorries with about 1 inch to spare. Oh glory be sitting in the car for an hour with a three year old getting bored!!! Can't say it put me off that much tho - better than swimming. Carol
