Good people, not so good robot

Once got through was dealt with speedily and efficiently.
Like the call back facility.
One observation: when the auto reply system gives alternative phone numbers they are so fast impossible to note down.

Usual poor choices in Le Jardin, poor staff service.

Same issues as previous sailings, Le Jardin restaurant choices very poor. Okay if you are 99% vegetarian, but not for most people, which is illustrated by the lack of customers (compared to when we travelled on the Bretagne). Also the staff at the counter are severely lacking in customer service skills, to the point that the person serving me was in a kind of 'stupor', I had been attempting to give him my order and after a couple of 'is anyone serving here?' questions, his colleague next to him also noticed and pointed out to him that I required serving!! We as a family are generally meat eaters and would prefer to use the self service restaurant but this is no longer possible and feel that your company wants us to be excluded and forced to use the table service restaurants (and of course more expensive!) We are increasingly thinking that we will bring our own food on board but this will make the 12.50 meal voucher useless and we lose out!!! We have a disabled daughter to cater for and this is difficult enough for us without worrying about finding somewhere cost effective to eat on board. Another point is that due to the delayed sailing times recently, time is very tight on getting to our cabins, sorting out our dogs and making it to the restaurant on time.....what are your comments on this? We do not find fault with the cleanliness on board or other facilities, but feel this restaurant/food issue should be looked at.

We'd already done the pre check in for the outbound sailing, then received another email saying to do it and we weren't able to add the vehicle details online - the computer said to ring, I rung and the recorded message said please to use the website if possible as phone lines very busy, so I hung up!

Quick and easy to book.

The website was easy to find and navigate. The steps were clear and the various options explained. It was easy to make my booking, even though my outbound and inbound journeys were different.

Reply from Brittany Ferries

Good morning Mr David Willatt,

Thank you for leaving a review.

In order to be as easy as possible for all passengers there is a find our best fares section on the website.

This area allows you to search for an entire months worth of sailings at a time, across a specific route selected, if we allowed more than this it would be overwhelming and confusing to our passengers.

We appreciate the feed back as we are always looking to improve our services and will take your comments into consideration.

Kind regards

Michael
