It was the SPS crews first year without P&O.
We had a great routine with P&Oto LE Havre, including a nice place for Brekie on the way down.
This year i wasnt sure what P&O were doing so booked Brittany to be safe and get what i wanted.
At £2468 for the 5 cars, 2 trailers, 16 people, 5 cabins and 2 on the return i thought it a little much, but its a premium sailing, you get what you pay for !!
P&O always had great entertainment laid on and there seemed lots to do, day or night sailing. The food even improved lots in 2003 onwards, to the point it was "good value"
This year i was very impressed with the speed of check-in, but they only have 1 ferry to do, so thats probably why.
The Mont St Micheal was huge, new and clean. Cabins were ace, showers tidy too. Very good.
Then the bar, very busy, but lots on board, then at 0100 it shut !! On a night sailing the more hungry beer monsters like to stay up later. I hadnt realised there wasnt a casino on-board either.
Getting off was a doddle and no real wait.
Check-in at Caen was very friendly and i was impressed as they were very busy.
The return was good, the food good, but i was in before the baot sailed. The other SPS lads went in later and said it was poor ?, maybe the kitchen was a little busy by then.
My only realworry was that there didnt seem as much to do as last year on P&O ?? Did i miss the swimming pool or other hidden entertainemtn areas
We will still be with Brittany Fisheries next year.
What did you think.
