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

In reply to Post #1
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.

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
