I’m torn on this one, they are not the only company to do that and when I do travel on P&O, usually from Larne to Cairnryan you have to feel for the replacement staff who are being paid a pittance and do a fantastic job, just trying to earn a better living than they can at home. No matter which route I take from Ireland to England, Wales, Scotland, France or Spain there never seem to be any Irish staff on any of them. Yes I travel on them all.

I’ve been on this ferry a few times, most recently in June this year with my motorcycle. My biggest complaint is the extortionate price of food and drinks on board, by contract the Brittany ferries are much more reasonable.

You dont speak for 6.3 millions people but you do confess that hospitality is expensive so who can guess at how many of those 6.3 million people thought the same as you - that is come away with a poor impression of the country. Maybe the drab depressing country refers to the weather and how it rains a lot. I would say that the UK is also a drab and depressing country but anything can be circumvented by good planning.

I did this journey in 2019, having previously travelled from Rosslare. Going by Motorcycle, Dublin shortens the journey a fair amount. Cairnryan - Larne, then down to Dublin, and an overnight gets you a decent way into France without all the hassle of driving from Scotland to the South of England. The ship was new when I went on it. Due to being up very early, I had some dinner, went to bed early and woke up in France. We were an hour late disembarking as I remember, but no great hassle. Dinner and breakfast were tasty, if expensive, even when pre-booked. Return journey was Zeebrugge to Hull and a very wet run home from there.

As a Marylander I was shocked when I saw Maryland Crab cakes on the menu for a Dublin to Cherbourg ferry. 😮 and it even mentioned Old Bay. 😮😮. When I was in Ireland in 2022 never saw it there and we looked and asked folks. Keep up the good, informative and entertaining work.

If nothing else Steve - you and Alicia have done more to promote tourism to Scotland than anything I know. I wasn't even curious before. (A Swede from Gothenburg)

Your videos are so calming, warm and welcoming. It feels like traveling with a good friend. Will have to do a ferry journey soon.

Well done Steve for not using P&O. I've stopped using them too after they sacked all their british staf👍
