I've been on both ferries and much prefer the Brittany Ferries boat over the Irish Ferries boat (which is a rust bucket). The BF boat is cleaner, has better facilities and does the trip in less time. It does get in early (07:30 CET) on a Sunday, there's not much open in France on a Sunday, and many campsites (assuming you're going to stay on a campsite) want you to arrive after 15:00 so if you're not driving far you'll have a few hours to kill and likewise on the way back as the ferry doesn't leave until 22:00. If you are going a good distance then it’s perfect. Given the current IF boat, the HR problems and the issues they had loading/unloading at the French ports during the summer (which i witnessed, luckily from an unhindered BF boat) I would not dream of using IF for the French crossing.BOXtheFOX said:Most people are suggesting Cork/Roscoff with Britanny Ferries rather than Rosslare/Roscoff with Irish Ferries.

If you just book an outside cabin, it will have a window and as such will be on one of the upper decks. I suppose a cabin that's midships would be better if you're concerned about sea sickness as there should be less pitch and roll.BOXtheFOX said:Is it possible to choose the floor level and location of cabin when booking or is it pot luck?
