Hi.
Three of us are due out 14th August on the ferry
Are the shops, bar etc open?
Is it a "horrible" experience with masks, sprays "little Hitlers" giving orders.
What's it like getting on and off. Those stairways are usually rammed.
Cheers Mike

I travelled Brittany ferries Plymouth- roscoff and returned Caen- Portsmouth last week. All pretty much straight forward. Masks worn in public areas. Asked to stay in cabin as much as poss. Bars and restaurants open but every other table cordoned off. Stick to the floor markings like in Tesco etc. Quietest I have ever found the ferries personally. Colour coded disembarking they call your colour and you go to the vehicle deck. Mo queuing in the stairwells. On return home asked for the passenger locator form which they just wanted a copy of at the uk border. Just flashed a copy of it in my phone they didn't want to read it. Just a word of warning though as I was leaving there was talk of parts of Brittany going back into some sort of lockdown as numbers were in the way up. Good luck.

On the P&O crossing to calais now
Seems absolutely fine, I'd say there was a lot less people than normal, loads of seating available for everyone and people are nicely spread out.
The bar is open in the family lounge selling packaged food, hot / cold drinks & beer
I'm not sure if the brasserie is open we headed straight to the lounge.
Overall not too bad at all and a lot better than I expected

Due to social distancing P&O have only half capacity onboard so it should seem quite empty. The shops, bars and restaurants are open (restaurant is different service) but the Brasserie is closed. They are still only running about 50% of their daily crossings and with 50% onboard capacity there is very limited availability. Maybe with 50% onboard capacity that is why their direct prices have nearly doubled. Ours still remain the same as they were at the start of the year.

went last week on DFDS and all was fine, given voucher for free meal at check in, shop was open for about half hour and facemask was needed to get in, most people were wearing them anyway and think they are actually required but there were some without them.

It isn´t relevant at the moment unless you are coming home from Spain after midnight tonight. Quarantine rules were lifted a few weeks ago for people returning from France, but based on what has happened today re Spain, it might change. This might help in advance unless they change things https://www.gov.uk/provide-journey-contact-details-before-travel-uk
