....... but not for 24 hrs they won't
Power Sockets on ferry are continental. Looks like you may be on Cap Finistere so link gives you info
Result of problems they had with the ferry earlier in the year, not cost cutting but operational problem. Pity as we too could have used a that ferry to Portsmouth later in the year but it looks like the Pont Aven is not on it old routes for some of the winter too. However we can book on the Cap Finistere.
MMMMM yes Thats what I was told but not until they were ready to take my money. I only found out because I was looking for a better cabin to the one we booked only to find out the Santander to Portsmouth route didnt exist any longer. Only when I actually phoned them I was told about the 3 engines and Plymouth route.... Luckily it looks like people had cancelled so we could upgrade to something with a window and kettle.......
That does not sound fun. Plymouth would be useless for us, we usually do the Portsmouth to Bilbao route so when we came back from Spain we were not effected by one ship being out of service. We have been from Santander and will on our trip next time but on the other ship, I had to study the timetables a bit more than normal for our next booking. The other ship is still sailing but on Fridays in August so no use to some people. Hope you enjoy your better cabin and your trip back.
Yes thanks for that Barbara. We come back on the 30th September and enjoy that crossing. But for some people Plymouth is a bridge too far.....
The trouble is there is Brittany Ferries or there is nothing. Since P&O stopped Brittany Ferries can do anything they like.... Its time someone else did that route....
We took the Pont Aven a couple of years ago and it was brilliant. Booked again for May this year and the afternoon before leaving I checked web site only to find Brittany Ferries had cancelled all crossings because of a fault. Nightmare to try and rearrange an entire holiday in less than 24 hours. BF excuse for not telling me was that they were notifying people in order of travel date. Subsequently they issued a voucher for half the outward crossing but declined to do the same for the return on the basis that I cancelled it even though at the time there was no chance of th crossing running. Big hit to my confidence in using BF. Mollie
Hi Emma, we are as I type on the Portsmouth to Santander Brittany ferry. I would defo remember a euro plug as there are no uk ones and a charger or battery pack. I remembered my hairdryer and straightener too. Our friends forgot their Euro plugs which was a pain for them. If you want a bit more morning privacy and you have a plug in kettle/coffee machine bring it on board, I saw someone else with one and wished I had thought of that. We’ve had a great time on board playing cards with friends and entertainment was good - up to date films, quizzes, etc. Rooms were fab too! Great start to our Cali adventure
