DFDS Dunkirk Dover Reviews

Verified

Am not sure how lanes are given , would have thought first come gets priority but we were scheduled for a 12 pm ferry and we arrived at 11.09 where the check in guys gave me a ferry for 2 pm citing that I might not make it to the 12 pm because of the big line , eventually we did make it T 11.50 and inspire of a request that Inhad 85 and 80 year old parents was not allowed on the 12 pm ferry . Since now we were second in the queue for the 2 pm ferry we only boarded after two or three other lines were allowed before us

We were happy to get the 6 o' clock ferry as we arrived 140 minutes earlier for the 8 o'clock ferry. This was a good service.

The port of Calais at the moment is in chaos and offers terrible service so this time I decided to use DFDS from Dunkirk. The port area was practically deserted -( mid Afternoon on a Saturday). Book-in was efficient, having allowed loads of time to get through passport and customs, we arrived early enough to be offered an earlier sailing. French Customs control was quick - and French manned followed by UK Passport Control then UK Customs which was manned by French Serco employees. Seems like duplication for no benefit. The Ferry wasn't exactly modern but we loaded on time, left on time and arrived in Dover on time. All of which beats our last very poor experience with P&O which was badly organised and an hour late. So, if you aren't looking for fancy bling and want just a reliable boat service try Dunkirk rather than Calais. And for those coming from Germany it's 40 km shorter distance to get to the ports. Travel time is 2hrs - so about 30mins longer than the Calais route but that makes little difference if the Calais route is running late and its present disorganised mess.

We were told to use the green stairs. But unfortunatly in the upper stocks the doors, which are locking the stairs, wether weren't painted green nor were signed as green stairs! As this is a major safty issue in an emergency, responseable Managers should act NOW !!
